I wore this over the weekend to go shopping and out to lunch with my brother. I behaved and didn't buy anything, woo! It was still a little chilly but I wanted to add a bit of brightness to my outfit so I wore my bright green sweater under a cape for some Spring layering. I also wore these brighter blue skinny jeans instead of my darker washes. Not totally Spring, but we're getting there!

It's still chilly but I wanted to break my rut of wearing jeans everyday so I opted for these slightly flared velvet pants I've had for years. Hopefully soon I'll be able to start wearing dresses and skirts without freezing. Guess we'll see what Mother Nature has in store for us next week!

This doesn't look like a first day of Spring outfit. Nevertheless it's what I wore on Tuesday for a couple quick errands and to get my free Rita's Italian Ice! Mmmm. Thanks to eBay you can still recreate this outfit even though it's 6 years old! I found the blazer, top and jeans available from different sellers.

I hardly ever wear my blazers anymore so I decided to pull one out this past weekend for no reason at all. This is one of my favorites because of the print mixing, color and the added touches of velvet. Such an amazing piece and I scored it for $188 4 years ago! And, as luck would have it, I found one for $200 on eBay if you like it!

It's still chilly out there, folks! Hopefully Spring arrives soon, but until then I'll continue to get wear out of my favorite sweaters before they go away until next Fall! I wore this over the weekend for a quick trip to Terrain and Home Goods. Getting home inspiration is always a fun Sunday activity.

Earlier this month Azaggi jewelry offered me a couple pieces from their affordable and high quality line of jewelry. They have all different styles of jewelry perfect for everyday wear or special occasions. Azaggi is based in Los Angeles, CA and was founded in 2012. I really appreciate companies that give back and Azaggi supports environmental, educational, community, and charity campaigns. They are also committed to socially responsible sourcing and manufacturing to minimize environmental impact.

Since I'm reaching capacity on my fingers I decided to choose two sterling silver necklaces. I picked out a really pretty crescent moon and a tiny owl hoping I would be able to layer them together. I got a 20 inch chain for the moon and 18 inches for the owl and they work perfectly when layered. When I showed my mom she thought it was one necklace.

I am super happy with the quality of these pieces, you can feel the weight of the silver when holding on to the charms which I really appreciate. Sometimes with silver pieces can feel light and cheap, these feel like super high quality pieces without the large price tag. Both pieces come in under $40 ($38 and $33 to be exact.)

By a happy coincidence the necklace almost perfectly matches a pair of tiny owl rings my sister got me for my birthday a few years ago. Maybe I can get a pair of crescent moon earrings and do a nice mix and match!

Just as I thought I was done needing my snow boots we got hit with a Nor'easter last week and had about a foot of snow in the yard.  But that gave me a chance to break them out for this week's throwback outfit! I wore this for a day of working at the house and then headed out to run some errands. I was too lazy to put on makeup so I just dabbed on some red lipstick so my face wasn't so bare. (Not that I normally wear a lot of makeup, just blush and mascara, haha)
