It was a little cold for these shoes I'm wearing in the photos, but you have to make some sacrifices for the sake of fashion, right? (Obviously I wore different shoes when I was really outside, but for 5 minutes of photos I dealt with it) The original pants in this look were from ASOS. I liked them but the quality was poor so eventually I got rid of them. Now I have these purple Banana Republic pants to fill the gap!

I have had this look saved since July to recreate with my crazy vintage suede jacket - first seen here. Whenever I browse through Net-a-Porter's new arrivals I always find outfit inspiration. One of my favorite things about Net-a-Porter is that they style pieces into full looks rather than just showing you the item with jeans. I find that so much more inspiring. This particular look is for the Valentino Fringed Beaded Suede Jacket and was super simple to recreate with light jeans a black top and pumps.

The Inspiration:

I wore this on Saturday to go on a shopping and ramen trip with a friend. If I told someone I was going to wear stripes with leopard print they would think I was insane. But after seeing this look they would (hopefully) be converted! The trick to not looking totally crazy while mixing prints is to wear the same color family.

Imagine this look with a regular leopard print. I would look like a total weirdo, right? But since I paired burgundy leopard print with a stripe that also has burgundy, it doesn't look nearly as strange. I bet I still got some stares while walking through Marshalls, but I don't care!

For some reason this outfit looks a bit too loose for the re-wear. But it is comfortable and a fun Fall combo so I'll let it slide! I still could have worn this without tights but I wanted the full throwback look since I still had all the pieces.

On my way home from Rhode Island I stopped at Mystic Aquarium to visit the penguins, beluga whales, sea lions and jellyfish! Since I was going to be with animals I decided on an animal themed outfit with my leopard print pants and owl shirt.

We had a bit of a cold snap (aka under 80 degrees) last week so I decided to rewear this look I wore in Spring 2014. It was actually the last outfit I wore to go to the office in New York City. After that the company I worked for started letting me work from home full time. I can't believe it's been over 3 years since I made the move to working from the living room. Crazy how time flies!

This is also the first set of outfit photos with my new Panasonic Lumix FZ1000! Woohoo! Best Prime Day purchase EVERRR!

I had to modify this throwback outfit a little more than usual since I don't have the original tee anymore. Rather than wear the same shoes (which I still have) I decided to wear pumps that matched the pants. They're still pointy toed so I think it's okay.

Today I'm heading to DC for the weekend. It was originally intended to be for the cherry blossoms, but they decided to reach peak bloom last Saturday instead, so I'm a week late. GAH! Hopefully there are still some left for me to enjoy. At least I'll still get to have my chicken and waffles for brunch!

I haven't worn either of these pieces on the blog in quite some time. There were a few times where I threw on this sweater the past few months but never managed to take photos. The jeans on the other hand have been hanging in my closet waiting to be worn.  I've had them for almost 5 years and they've gotten a lot of love in that time, just not recently. That's why I like doing these throwback looks, makes me re-wear pieces that have been neglected.

It's been a few weeks since my last throwback outfit, but other things have taken over, oops! I quite like this outfit because it's dressy but still cozy thanks to the super long sweater from J Crew.

I love going through my work outfit archives to rewear looks. This is a particular favorite. I love the cardigan and top together. This look has definitely been repeated before but I don't think the repeat has ever made the blog.

In addition to a style rut, I have also been in a hair rut. So I decided to experiment a bit and did two french braids into a half-ponytail type thing. I was going to pull them into a full ponytail or bun, but thought this looked cute. It also added a bit more interest to this somewhat basic outfit. It's all in the details, right?
