Army Jacket & Faux Leather Dress

Photo cred: Jathan Campbell

Jacket: Ralph Lauren (last season but similar here) / Dress: H&M (last season but similar here and here <- I LOVE this one & it's on sale!) / Shoes: Sole Society / Sunglasses: Ray-Ban

Ok. So this was a total shop my closet and put the unexpected together type of an outfit. This is one of my FAVORITE jackets of all time and well worth the investment. It's so different and unique and I love the details. From the pins, to the patches and everything in-between. Paired with my Ray Ban sunglasses - total Top Gun vibe and I'm totally ok with it. There's even a hidden hood zipped into the collar. Bonus! I wore this jacket when I was in London this past September and it was so perfect for their cool temperatures. See how I wore it in London below!

The dress I'm wearing I scored on sale from H&M this past fall. Faux leather in the front and back with a jersey material on the sides. SO versatile! It's the perfect LBD that really can be worn a million different ways.

I've posted about these shoes before, but let me tell you again - OBSESSED. The most comfortable booties of all time. The color is so different and unique and adds that extra little oomph to an outfit.

Starting this blog has been such a fun ride so far! And the best part - it's forcing me to shop my closet and get creative. It's amazing what you'll find and what you can put together.

Oh London. You have my heart.

Baggy Sweater & Thigh High Boots

Sweater: Tobi (on sale!) / Skirt (actually a slip): Nordstrom (similar) Other option: H&M / Boots: Ivanka Trump (on sale!) / Sunglasses: Ray-Ban

Finally! This was my absolute FAVORITE outfit I wore when shooting pictures with Jathan. I'm so excited to share this post with you!

I loooooove a good baggy sweater, and this, my friends, is a GREAT baggy sweater. Bonus! It's off the shoulder - aka my weakness. I typically pair this baby with leggings and some boots and call it a casual day. But every once in a while it's fun to find new ways to dress up traditionally casual pieces.

I saw two different outfits that I knew I wanted to recreate, and they both involve an oversized sweater with just a hint of skirt peeking out. So I gave it a shot and made it happen using this sweater. Spoiler alert! My skirt is actually a slip... gasp! I liked the subtle lace detail and the contrast the silk fabric added to the outfit. For a less daring option, this basic skirt from H&M would look just as killer (I have this skirt in 3 different colors). I felt surprisingly glamorous in this outfit. Something about the baggy sweater and thigh high boots, man I felt like I could take on the world!

Finding outfits you love and exploring different ways to recreate is one of my favorite things to do. And nine times out of ten it can be done by shopping your own closet and getting creative. If you've done this I'd love to hear about it! Share with me your outfit recreating stories - maybe we can inspire each other!

Tribal Jumpsuit

Jumpsuit: Patterns & Pops / Shoes: Aldo (similar) / Sunglasses: Ray-Ban / Bracelet: Michael Kors

I'm a sucker for a stand alone statement piece, and this tribal jumpsuit is just that. This thing is BEYOND comfortable and super versatile! I just love the cinched in waist. For this look, I went simple with my black Aldo pumps and understated jewelry. I wanted attention to be given to the jumpsuit (well deserved) and nothing else. I can't wait to wear this during the summer with the legs scrunched up and fun sandals!

If you haven't check out Patterns & Pops yet, take a look at their site! They have just the cutest pieces! Everything is under $100 and meant to fit in with the wardrobe you already have. I have a few items from them and I'm obsessed with every one of them!
