the little white dress

A must have for summer is the little white dress, just like the lbd (little black dress) the lwd can be worn with endless combinations.  Although white can be dangerous, it can also be perfect for so many occasions (except weddings, please do not wear white to a wedding).  White can be tricky (epically if your like me, and your constantly eating) but can be worn with any color and looks great against bronzed summer skin (that's where I naturally luck out, sorry...).  I went a simple route with this outfit and paired it with a simple denim jacket, a wicker tote, and simple heeled sandals.  Dress the lwd up with a strappy shoe and some statement jewelry or dress it down with sneakers and a light scarf!

the shirt dress

The infamous shirt dress.  They are usually too short, too expensive, or extremely ill fitting (on me at least).  H&M has done it again... although this may be a bit too long for anyone under 5'5'' but for my taller ladies this dress is perfect (you can always get things shortened).  It is so light and easily worn that I wish it came in another color, other then white because it was 100% see-through.

I wore this to work with some minimal shoes and extra accessories but since the dress was so simple I opted for a jeweled wedge for dinner, Im kicking myself in the a** for not purchasing these shoes in black when I had the chance, they are no longer available but I will link some other fun wedges below.

This weekend I will be spending all my time at work so I hope everyone enjoys their memorial day, and have an extra drink for me...

Couch envy (verb): strong jealousy of the overall look, color, or vibe of a specific couch

I can't even start to describe my love for all of these couches... They are all so stunning and I would give up shopping for a week for any of them to appear in the imaginary living room of my imaginary apartment... A girl can dream.  No, I do not have an apartment and even if I did I would not have the funds to make my living room as fabulous as these ladies did but I would try!  Looking at inspiration helps me when I'm stuck in a rut, sometimes I'm not feeling as creative as usuall but these living rooms are giving me all the inspiration I need.

Blushing Again

Here we are again... This bush coat is hands down my favorite piece right now and you can probably guess why: its blush, and its transitional.  The weather these past couple of weeks has been so temperamental, it goes from 70 degrees and sunny to 50 degrees and windy.  This jacket is perfect over a tee and skinnies with a scarf but can also be flawless over a simple dress (they need to make more colors).  It also dose not hurt that it is under $40!

You'll probably see this jacket again,

warm front (noun): a brief period of time where warm air replaces the unbearable cold air...

This slight glimpse of warmth (and by warmth I mean anything above 40 degrees) has given me hope.  I am ready for spring and everything that comes with it!  Bring on the sandals, dresses, light coats and anything else that has no connection to negative degree weather or snow.  

Yesterday the high was 57... yes  f i f t y s e v e n!  It didn't feel like 57 but lets be real, I will take anything over 40!  This casual transition outfit was perfect!  A light sweater, boyfriend jeans, and my chucks topped with a scarf for those gusts of wind!  I brought out my favorite spring bag and lets not forget the violet mirrored sunnies (I'm obsessed).  When thinking transitions I always keep layers in mind. If it was a bit warmer I would have replaced the scarf with a necklace; a bit cooler and I would have added a vest!

Spring Hues

{shirt, jacket (old), zara jeans (old), bag, shoes, necklace, sunglasses}

 I am thinking it is safe to put the heavy coat away, but you never know, this is New England.

I don't know if I am happier about blogging again or if I am happier about the weather change?  Needless to say I am euphoric about breaking out lighter layers and having constant feeling in my toes.  This outfit is basic, but that is what I love about spring.  A light button up and colored jeans is timeless.  The color of this top… gorgeous. 

Since starting my new job I can no longer wear denim, yes I cried a little (take a look at past posts, 90% denim).  But, it's okay because it pushes me to explore other options.  Spring shopping has been in full effect and although I should be saving I have been looking at some more classic style shirts and pants to accommodate my new dress code.
