I wore this to the Boscov's blogger preview last week and can't believe this was my first time wearing this combo. Perhaps its because I always want to pair this top with jeans. Anyway, it feels so perfectly Fall and I can't wait to bring this Saint Laurent patchwork blouse back into rotation! It's one of my favorite statement pieces because it's so wild. This was also my first wear of my favorite booties this season! I still haven't unpacked the rest of my boots and tall boots but all in good time! Probably when I get home from Florida next week.
We spent so much time shopping that I had to rush home to work and couldn't stay to take outfit pictures with Lydia. Luckily I have my trusty home photographer and we shot some quickly in the backyard.

I wore this a couple weeks ago for a blogger's night out event at Park and Oak Restaurant in West Hartford Connecticut. It was a bit of a hike driving for an hour and a half but totally worth it. A few bloggers were invited by chef and co-ownder David Borselle to sample some of their popular dishes as well as some new items that will be coming this Fall! I'll share more about the event below my outfit.
When I got my Chloé Faye bag I knew I wanted to wear it with my crazy Saint Laurent patchwork blouse and Free People flares. It has such a fun 70s vibe about it. I decided to go a bit wild with my shoes and wore leopard print to add even more print to the look.

Now on to the food! Park and Oak opened on November 30, 2016 and they have been a hit ever since. I can see why because the attention to detail in the food is amazing! Chef David calls the style American comfort food with a chef's touch. Meaning they make comfort food, but with a twist to make it more creative. They also use responsibly sourced local ingredients to give customers the highest quality product possible. Now let's get on to the food!
We also had a delicious roasted sweet potato with roasted peppers, chili pepper and cojita cheese, but my picture came out too dark.

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!

What's one to do with a crazy printed shirt? Pair it with printed shoes, of course! This Saint Laurent patchwork blouse is still one of my favorite pieces. At first I felt a little self conscious while wearing it, even though I loved it, because most people find it strange. But now I take pride in the outlandish print mixing! I wore this to check out Roundabout Resale's winter blowout a couple weeks ago. Luckily I walked out with nothing, but I had to look to see if there was anything I had been hunting for (like a Chloe Faye bag.)

This is my 4th Thanksgiving outfit with these leather pants. What can I say? If something works, stick with it! Unfortunately, they met an untimely end during our second Thanksgiving festivities. Somehow they must have gotten caught on something sharp and they RIPPED. Right on my butt. Awkward. It started as a medium sized rip that my cousin noticed when I took of a vest I had thrown on before we headed out. So I had to un-tuck my blouse to cover it up. By the end of the evening the rip was HUGE. They didn't even rip on a seam which was so odd.
My mom is currently looking for a pattern to try and make a purse with the fabric because it's really beautiful leather and I'd hate to waste it. So we'll see what they become in their second life! I guess I can hunt for a new pair of burgundy leather trousers.

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.
