This was an outfit I threw on to go visit my aunt for my monthly massage. I slept over and met up with Lydia at Clinton Crossing the next day for our Fall Fashion Preview. Luckily she decided she wanted to do two sets of outfit pictures otherwise this never would have made it on the blog and I actually REALLY like it.

Here's a full redo of an outfit from 2010. I was almost going to wear different shoes but decided to just go for the original and add in some new accessories. This dress actually should have left my closet years ago since I never wear it. I hate the fabric it's made out of. BUT...I keep it around for my Willy Wonka Halloween costume in case I ever need to wear it again.

Dress: ASOS, Jacket: Mudd (Kohl's), Shoes: Simply Vera Wang (Kohl's), Necklace: BubuRuby (etsy), Opal Ring & Earrings: Grandma;s


The Original:

These shorts are an anomaly in my closet.  I don't normally wear white but for some reason I was drawn to these shorts in a Zara sale years ago. Maybe it's the purple and blue flowers? I also feel extra tall when wearing them with these wedges. You'd never guess I was 5'2", right?

Top: Piperlime, Floral Shorts: Zara, Wedges: Steve Madden (DSW), Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs 'Natural Selection Mini Messenger Bag' (Saks Fifth Avenue), Necklace: buburuby  (etsy), Sunglasses: Gucci

Here's a super old throwback for you! 7 years ago! I do still have the shoes I wore in this outfit but they aren't stylish AT ALL so I switched it up! I can't believe I've had this dress for over 7 years. It's going to be a sad day when it's too beat up to be worn. Maybe I should try and find it on eBay!

The Original:

Who doesn't love a good blazer or curling up with a good book? This blazer wraps both into one. I don't wear it much since it's such a statement piece but it's one of my favorite blazers.  I wish I wasn't still wearing blazers at this point in the year, but what can you do? Sometimes Winter just wants to stick around.

For this outfit I was inspired by Farfetch's brand new Style Guide. They have an article on why velvet should be your go-to fabric and I completely agree! It's one of my favorites to wear because it's luxurious, fun and soft! It can be worn in any season now thanks to all the different styles that are offered. Velvet now comes in slip dresses, blazers, pants and more!

It's also my blog's 7th anniversary today...how crazy is that?!! In the beginning I never planned on sharing my outfits, and now look at me! 4 times a week!

Apparently whenever I wear green and want a second layer I have to wear this purple cardigan. I just love the two colors together so much so why change what's not broken? I've been neglecting these Free People flare jeans the past few months because of snow and not being in the mood to wear heels in the middle of winter. Hopefully I'll get out of my rut and start pulling them out some more instead of always wearing my skinnies.

Sweater: T.Babaton (Aritzia), Cardigan: Max Studio (from Lydia), Jeans: Free People (Marshalls), Boots: eBay, Necklace: BubuRuby

Here's the first of my two Thanksgiving outfits! I love that my family separates into two days so we get two turkeys and I can wear two outfits! Day one was at Grandma's with Mom's side of the family. Day two, Saturday, was at my Aunt's with Dad's side. So much better than trying to go to two places in one day.

Dress: Diane von Furstenberg 'Zaina' (Coco's on the Green), Vest: Ella Moss (Marshalls),  Boots: Cordani (Roundabout Resale), Necklace: BubuRuby (etsy)

Hello, new boots! I picked these up at Marshalls a couple weekends ago. They were my first actual purchase (aka not made with advertising money or birthday money) in a couple months so I'm pretty proud of myself. Ha ha. Still pricey, but I pride myself on my ability to get designer clothes for less. 4 pieces in this look are designer and I didn't pay full price for any of them. Most I paid less than 35% of the retail price.

It has been QUITE a while since I've owned a pair of corduroy pants. I think I had one pair back in college but I only wore them twice before getting rid of them. They just weren't my thing. But back on Labor Day weekend these skinny cords from Abercrombie caught my eye. I loved the dusty blue color and the slight frayed hem.  Speaking of Abecrombie, did you see their latest lookbook?! Gorgeous. So looks like both cords and Abercrombie are making a comeback.

Here's what I wore for my first day in the city. I met up with friends at Don Antonio's pizza for lunch and ended the day in Brooklyn at Berg'n. I had wanted to go to Don Antonio's for quite a while after seeing it on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives and I wasn't disappointed! Such good pizza, especially the crust (my favorite part.) I was able to wear this all day and into the night without a sweater! Thank goodness Summer finally arrived!
