Hint of Green





Jacket: Gap, similar
Scarf: Gap, old
Skirt: Tibi, similar, similar
Clutch: Zara, similar
Shoes: Stuart Weitzman, similar
Bracelets: Bauble Bar, old

Happy Friday!!  I'm so excited and ready for the weekend and I'm sure you guys are also.  It's my friend's birthday today so we are taking her out for dinner and drinks, which is a perfect way to end the week (or kick off the weekend depending on your point of view...).  

I picked up this Tibi skirt on a whim during the sample sale, but it has quickly become one of my favorite pieces.  The bottom of the skirt is so cute and unique.  I'm wearing it casually here with a white t-shirt, but can't wait to dress it up for work (maybe with a white shirt and white blazer) or to go out (with a great blue shirt (not my denim chambray :) ) or stripe top).

What are you guys up to this weekend?

I hope you have a great weekend!

Blue and Green






Shirt: Jones New York (similar, similar)
Skirt: Maje (similar)
Sandals: Matt Bernson (love these and these)
Bag: Zara, old
Bracelets: Bauble Bar, old
Earrings: Boutique find

I hope your week is going well!  I bought this skirt a while ago during the Bloomies end of season sale and have been waiting patiently to wear it.  I'm so glad the warm weather is here and I can finally wear it!  I love the color and would normally pair it with a white t-shirt for a more casual look, but decided to dress it up with this silk shirt.  I can see why everyone is going crazy for those Equipment silk shirts!  This blouse is so versatile, a great color and a perfect way to add polish to a look.  And did I mention it is machine washable?  Perfect!

Making Boyfriend Jeans Office Appropriate





Blazer: Loft
Top: BCBG (similar)
Jeans: Current/Elliot (one size too big)
Earrings: Bauble Bar

TGIF!  Keeping it brief today as I had a college happy hour last night.  

I wore this outfit to work and got so many compliments I decided to photograph it for the blog!  I love the blue/aqua combination of this BCBG top and Loft blazer and I'm loving my makeshift pair of boyfriend jeans.  They fit perfectly as skinny jeans when I first bought them, but stretched out so much they are now a slim pair of boyfriend jeans, lol!

How are you wearing your boyfriend jeans?  Have a great weekend!

Another Way to Wear a Dress







Dress: French Connection (on sale!), last seen here
Skirt: J.Crew (on sale!)
Clutch: Zara, old
Shoes: Zara, old
Bracelet: Bauble Bar, C. Wonder, old
Necklace: Boutique Find
Earrings: C. Wonder

I hope everyone's week is going well!  Since starting this blog, I've definitely been more creative in trying to find new ways to wear the clothes in my closet.  Going out and buying new clothes to photograph every weekend for the blog was never in the cards (credit or otherwise)....  

I love this dress, which I've worn by itself (here) and layered over turtlenecks in winter.  However, I wanted to find more ways to wear it.  I never have enough tops in my closet (I don't know why I rarely buy them...), so I decided to turn this dress into a top and pair it with one of my trusty white skirts.  Thankfully, the skirt is thick enough so that the pattern of the dress didn't show through and it was surprisingly comfortable to wear skirt a skirt over the dress.  I will have to see how many other dresses in my closest I can turn into tops....

Have you guys styled a skirt over a dress before?

Pairing Stripes with Stripes







Top: Gap (on sale!)
Skirt: J.Crew (similar, similar, similar)
Shoes: DM David Meister (similar, similar)
Necklace: Bauble Bar (similar)
Bracelets: Bauble Bar, C. Wonder, old

I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend!  Mine was very relaxing and I spent Easter Sunday with my family.  We are always running around so much it was nice to take some time and catch up with them.  I also dyed my hair a little lighter (see here on Instagram), which I love!!  I will take some outfit pictures and show you guys later this week.  

As you know, I've been obsessed with stripes recently.  I've had this J. Crew skirt for a while and normally wear it with a solid color top (here).  When I saw this striped top at Gap, I knew I wanted to try to wear it with something other than white jeans, so I decided to pair the two together.  For someone who normally only wears one pattern piece at a time, this was big step!  I don't know if it will be a regular occurrence, but I really liked the stripe on stripe.

How do you guys feel about the wearing matching patterns?  Is it something that you will be trying out?

I'm very excited to be the featured blogger on Paige's Stylish Tuesday link-up!  Check it out here!

Have a great day!

Happy Friday!  This is going to be a short post since I just got back from a great birthday dinner for my mom.  If you are in Atlanta, you have to check out St. Cecilia.  The food was amazing!!

My obsession with stripes (and heels) is obviously still going strong.   Have a great weekend!
