This is what I wore to celebrate my Dad's best friend's birthday over the weekend. It was a pretty dive-y place so I figured why not wear my crazy printed top to blend in with the mismatched decor. It was still a liiiiittle chilly so I threw on a fuzzy sweater to keep warm.

I hope everyone who celebrates has a Happy Easter this weekend! We're having one of our family celebrations today and a second on Sunday. I enjoy spreading out the celebrations between 2 days instead of having to rush over to another house on the actual holiday. Plus I get to wear two outfits!

I do still have the original cardigan I wore with this outfit but I decided to wear this darker one instead since it went better with the tights and tee. Funnily enough, this skirt was made with leftover fabric from when my mom helped me make a skirt inspired by Michael Kors. I have worn this WAY more than the one we intended to make, funny how that works.

Welcome my newest sweater - the Trinket Embellished sweater from Banjo + Matilda. You saw it last week in my monthly wardrobe roundup and many of you were itching to see how I would style it! Well here's look one - monochromatic with some "crazy" shoes! We had a few warm days last week so I was able to wear my Lanvin sandals again before it becomes too chilly.

I was going to call this "Coffee Break," but since I got hot chocolate (and don't drink coffee) I think my choice is more appropriate. I wore this last weekend for a long overdue meetup with Lydia and Christine. We hadn't seen Christine since before she had her ADORABLE baby last year so it was great to catch up, and meet her daughter.

It was actually a super warm day so I didn't need to bring the nice chunky sweater that matched perfectly with my look. I did throw it on for a few photos though. My Lanvin sandals perfectly matched with these jeans so I was super pumped! I'm hoping to get a few more wears out of these before it gets too cold, maybe I'll wear them with socks! ;)

I'm also looking forward to many more wears for this Saint Laurent patchwork blouse! This is only it's 4th appearance on the blog since buying it last January but I've worn it at least 6 times bringing it's cost per wear down to a (still high) $58. Now that we're getting into cooler temperatures I can bring it out more and more!  The sandals, on the other hand are down to $45 (or less) and I've only had them since July.

Once again I'm able to wear a weird combo thanks to the Fall weather. Sweater on top, shorts on bottom! Woohoo! I was struggling between two pairs of shoes, but in the end my Lanvin sandals won out...they're my closet obsession of the past couple months if you couldn't tell.

I also love the cut of this sweater. The deep-v is a nice change from my usual crewnecks. But that does mean it will be harder to wear once the temperatures drop below freezing. Won't stop me from trying though!

Here was my other shoe option. These Alexander Wang booties are approaching their 6th birthday! Can't believe I've had them that long!

This leopard print blouse and light jeans look is a favorite combo of mine. I've worn it many times with lots of different shoes. What can I say, if it's not broke, don't fix it! I find it funny that I bought both of these on the same day too, guess it was meant to be! Sadly the third item I got at this particular sample sale hardly got any wear so it's sitting sadly in my closet.

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.

Temperatures are beginning to cool down again so I took the chance to wear jeans with my fun crop top from Greece! It's probably time to retire these jeans soon but I just can't seem to pull the trigger. So they come out every few months for a day in the sun!

Fact: I'm obsessed with rings. As I'm sure you've noticed, I ALWAYS have rings on my fingers. I just load 'em on like Phoebe in Friends. I'm always on the hunt for new silver rings to add to my collection.  My latest find is a Larimar Bliss Stone ring. Larimar is a turquoise gemstone that can only be found in the Dominican Republic.

Many of you will also know I'm also a collector of large gemstones and their meanings (see some of them on Instagram: here, here, here) I don't fully believe in the powers stones have, but I do find that I'm drawn to certain stones and when I find out what they represent it's very fitting to my personality. Larimar is thought to have healing properties and assist with communication. For a SUPER shy person who's learning to come out of her shell more and more, this is a perfect stone.

For this post I let the ring speak for itself but soon it will be added to my plethora of daily rings. For that very reason I got larger than my usual size so I could wear it on a finger that doesn't already have a designated ring. Ha ha!
