Ripped jeans never fail.  Out of all the denim I own about 60% is ripped (it is a problem I am willing to admit).  There is something so casual about ripped denim that makes any outfit look perfectly undone.  I will admit I should probably start learning how to rip denim on my own (simply because it always costs more than regular denim), but until I find the time to perfect the art of ripping jeans I will leave it up to the manufacture.  The pair that I am wearing are the "Jamie" jean from Topshop, I will (at some point in time) own these in every color because they are perfect - hands down, perfection.  Great fitting jeans are hard for me to find because I have a significantly large booty.  Lets face the facts, great fitting jeans are hard for almost everyone to find,  these have the right amount of stretch so that they are still form fitting and do not get saggy half way through the day. 

Spring and summer nights tend to cool down significantly on the coast and this means layers are still appropriate.  As soon as the sun starts to set the usually temperature decreases instantly - and then I break out the denim.  Denim also decreases the amount of mosquito bites... those damn things are always trying to suck my blood.  During the warmer months I always make sure to have a light coat (unfortunately this one is an older style but I did link some similar ones above).  One that can be worn over a tank or a dress works the best and I also make sure that it can be carried over to fall because transitional pieces are key to every wardrobe.

Watercolor Me Fall

I love finding forgotten pieces from past years.  This silk Madewell shirt I was extra excited to bring back.  I am still inlove with the colorful patten as much as I was last fall.  I used the green jeggings to pull the vivid green color from the blended pattern and adding a white blazer sealed it togeather.

Naturally im wearing my favorite flats, and carrying my favortie bag.  I was sceptical albout my natural hair, but surprisingly my locks cooperated.  I find that getting a good natural look comes when you least expect it (I just wish it would cooperate when i'm running late to work). 

Hope everyone is having a great week! 

Sequined Sweater & Cold Weather

With the weather down to record breaking temperatures in some states, here in Boston we have experienced this year after year.  In my 19 years of life I actually forget how cold it can get.  When it's cold I want to do nothing except for snuggle in bed, and watch bad reality TV. Last night was the return of The Real World, it proved to be more amusing than I expected!  In reality I can not lay in bed all day, I actually have to leave the house and work.  On those cold, I don't feel like doing anything days, choosing an attractive outfit is not something I want to do.

Max, being the most amazing boyfriend that he is, personally picked out this adorable sweater for me (for Christmas).  I opened the box and instantly loved it.  It is the perfect color, the perfect length, and is covered with delicate sequins (my favorite).  The headband and glove set speaks for itself, what more could you want on a cold day aside from warm ears and fingers?  The set is from No Rest for Bridget, they are the perfect accessory for a winter day, warm and glamorous.  Unfortunately they are not sold online but I am sure that other local boutiques will have something similar.  The vest was added for extra warmth, and the combat boots were for comfort (booties and the cold do not mix well for me).

Stay warm out there.

Off the Beaten Path

With the weather up and down in the city of boston its is important to have pieces on call for those in-between days!  This outfit was comfy and casual enough for some weekend wear.  After enjoying some delicious crepes, Max and I found this adorable ally way, and stopped to take some pictures.  It was so cute and I loved how all the leaves collected along the sides.  

This outfit was easy enough to throw on after taking too long to get ready, I find that I often take extremely long in the morning when I don't have a time limit.  Since the skirt is tight I decided to pair it with a looser sweater.  It happened to be a bit too loose so I tied it at the side and it instantly made the outfit more casual and weekend-like (that's not even a word).  

Hope everyone has a fabulous week! 

When's the Best Time to Wear a Striped Sweater?

 

Yes, the best time to wear a  striped sweater is... ALL THE TIME!

  Channeling my inner child with some Spongebob throwback, but anyways

this striped sweater is one I could wear all the time.  The black and oatmeal 

stripes paired with a boxy fit make this sweater as comfortable as a sweater 

should be.  Paired with distresses jeans (seen here, and here, and here 

[clearly I wear them a lot]) made a perfect Sunday look.  

Let me also tell you about this jacket that I, for some reason, find to be 

so cute.  The two-toned style and denim feel make it stylish and wearable. 

The coloring is similar to the quilted style jacket I wore in my last outfit post,

but what can I say i'm attracted to it!

&& these python print booties from American Eagle have stolen my heart.

I wish I could say that they are still available, but sadly they are sold out!

I'll keep my eye out for them on the website, maybe they will be back. 

I hope everyone has a great week!
