Winter Escape

Considering we just weathered a major snowstorm here in Maryland, I'm looking back to warmer days and favorite fall outfits. This is one of my favorites from before temperatures were consistently freezing. I absolutely love these sandals (I can't say it enough), and this shrug is one of my best out-of-the-ordinary items. I also got these Jcrew jeans at an amazing sale price, and I've linked some similar steals.

Hope everyone is surviving Jonas and that warmer weather (and more posts) are to come!

White After Labor Day

Although the season of summer has not officially ended, Labor Day is usually the universal sign that it's over in spirit. And even though I'll surely break some rules by continuing to wear white, I wanted to give it a proper farewell this weekend with the perfect summer suit. Fall means no more sandals, patterned shorts, pops of bright color, or of course bright white tops. These are soon to be replaced with some more of my favorite things like boots, sweaters and scarves, so I can't say I'm complaining.

Minimal

This white button-down is my new favorite wardrobe staple. I've been searching for the perfect oversized, lightweight, swingy summer/transitional top and I finally found it! Hollister has really grown on me lately. The brand has really evolved from seagull-logo everything to a more versatile and classy look for more ages, and I'm totally into it. When I found this gem last weekend I was so excited to wear it that I had to post it (even though my blog has been SO black and white lately). And what better to pair with my new favorite top than my favorite sandals and new Fossil watch that I'm obsessed with. This look really did so much with so little and it's going to take so everything I have to not reach for this from my closet every day.

Burgundy Blush

Today I took a break from sweaters and cutoffs to enjoy the summer weather in this flowy circle skirt. Now that it's August, burgundy is THE color in my wardrobe. So although summer is going strong, fall colors are coming, and I couldn't be more excited. I also love how comfortable this style is. A jersey skirt and bralette look so put together but give you just the right amount of relaxation. This outfit is perfect for me to wear to class when I'm at school, but also for a night out with no change required. Definitely a keeper in my wardrobe.

Blue and Bluer

I went with a really basic outfit today that I ended up loving. Although I opted for minimal jewelry, my new favorite earrings and studded sandals made up for that. A super comfortable t-shirt and boyfriend denim jacket made for the perfect relaxed summer look. The navy on navy on navy on navy(ish) turned out much more flattering than I thought, so I'll definitely be styling looks like this again.

Summertime date night! I've had this gorgeous romper for a while now but I hadn't found just the right occasion to wear it. I was so excited to go out to the National Harbor over the weekend because I finally got the chance (and it was super fun)! It ended up being the perfect thing for shopping, sand, and sunset. I actually found this jacket in a boutique while we were there, and it made the romper just dressy enough for a nice seaside dinner. Rompers are such a great alternative to dresses and are definitely becoming a staple item in my wardrobe.
