Another look that has been in constant rotation over the years (with different shoes.) This is the perfect Summer sweater because it's so light. It is great for when there is a slight chill in the air or if you go to the frozen section of the grocery store. If only I had known when I bought it 5+ years ago, I would have gotten more colors! And the dress is one of my absolute favorites, gotta love Marc Jacobs!

The Original:

Last week was very interesting weather-wise. Luckily we were finished with the rain all day every day thing, but there were still a few rainy evenings. This was my "it might rain so wear a sweater" outfit. These jeans are another piece that I don't wear often anymore but still can't get rid of. They're double sided and the print is so fun!

This outfit is full of pieces that are extra long: high waisted jeans, over the knee boots and duster sweater. Even two of my necklaces are longer than what I usually wear. I wore this over the weekend for my cousins 15th birthday celebration. I can't believe my youngest cousin is already that old...I feel ancient! (Even though I'm definitely not, ha ha)

I think it's time to get rid of this dress. The only reason I wore it this day was because I hadn't worn it all Summer. You know those pieces that you buy and they don't live up to your expectations but you keep them? I bought this in 2013 (for $63) and unfortunately it was final sale so it was either keep it or try to sell it on eBay. I've only worn it a handful of times, so I should probably give it up. Any takers? It is a lovely dress, just not me.

This outfit was my attempt at wearing a color other than navy blue...as you can see it didn't go so well! I ended up getting a little chilly and having to grab a cardigan and this one matched too perfect to not wear.

This outfit features two new basics that should get a lot of wear this Summer! First up is the navy tee which I have been wanting for quite some time but was never able to find. You know how it is, the perfect basic is so hard to find! The same with these navy sandals. I have a bunch of navy pieces but no navy shoes so I searched high and low and ended up splurging on my FIFTH pair of Ancient Greek Sandals. What can I say? If you like a brand, stick with it.

Have you bought anything in Net-a-Porter's End of Season sale yet? I'm still holding out for lower prices, but you can see my favorite pieces here. I bought this skirt during last year's sale and although it has only made it on the blog a couple of times it has been worn quite a bit!

When I bought this Zara top a few years ago I bought it knowing it wasn't totally 'me' but something about it drew me in.  I still really like it but feel strange wearing it so it only gets a few wears a year. Isn't it funny how you can love something yet not wear it? I have a few dresses like that as well. So strange.

The first invite I got for fashion week was the Coach/Harper's Bazaar party to celebrate their Spring 2015 collection. After that the rest of my events fell into place. So I figured I would share my outfit with the main event! While this event was really fun, it wasn't my favorite part of the day since it was mostly about shopping the store (and I can do that any time.) With that said, we got to enjoy delicious macarons, get Coach-inspired manicures and saw the Spring line modeled in store, which was super cool!

I brought heels to change into for my outfit, but who was I kidding? After a day of walking around the city and then to be standing in heels in a store for 2 hours, no way! So my Coach pumps stayed safely inside my overflowing purse. Oh well, live and learn!

Thanks to my lovely friend Alyssa for taking the photos and coming to the party with me!

And a few party snaps:

The only good thing about the rain was that the temperature was slightly warmer than it has been, so I didn't die without a coat taking these pictures.  I won this super amazing umbrella from Target a few months ago and never thought I would take pictures of it because I hate taking pictures in the rain. But last Monday I decided to take one for the team and take some rainy day photos! It's so sturdy and expensive looking, you would never know it was from Target. I'm not sure how many of these they made, but I do know they were only given as giveaway prizes. I do love an exclusive!

Of all the designer collaborations Target has done, the Phillip Lim collection has been my favorite. I have 3 pieces from the line; two basic sweaters (one from the men's department) and the BOOM sweatshirt. I wear the sweatshirt quite a bit, but it has only been seen on the blog a handful of times, and never in it's own outfit post. I decide to rectify that right today! I even went so far as to wear a red lip for the occasion to match the print! And red shoes of course, who doesn't need a little Wizard of Oz in their life?
