Feeling Pastel

Target crop top // Target skirt // Zara sandals (old but similar) // Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC // Sparkle and Sophistication tassel necklace c/o // Karen Walker Sunglasses // Pandora Bracelet.

The moment I walked into Target, I knew it was going to be trouble. I usually find one to two great pieces at a time but at that moment I wanted to buy the women's/ junior's section!! However, I had to restrain myself and choose two pieces that I could wear together or separately with other classic wardrobe pieces I already own. The crop top was soft  with a flower detail in the front and this skort is perfect for those hot summer days and I love anything that has shorts underneath. Especially, with the wind we get here in Chicago, it's kinda necessary while walking around the city!

Basics

Lately I have been gravitating towards clothing items that go well while transitioning into Spring or Fall. Gotta keep the denim jacket in hand for an extra layer when it gets chillier during the day. & while Spring decides to officially stay, I will be using my basics here much more consistently especially when my brain goes into Finals mode which is in 3 weeks (holy moly).

Anyway, can't go wrong with a bold lip and some statement necklace.

Add Color

Outfit Details: Zara sweater // J.crew Pants // American Eagle Coat // Target heels // Sparkle and Sophistication tassel necklace c/o

Lately I've been crushing on winter whites, especially this fuzzy sweater from Zara. Which was on sale for less than 20 dollars! I guess winter in the Midwest isn't bad at all when you have winter sales and the items you buy are still to very good use. I have been trying to incorporate more lively colors into my wardrobe to brighten an outfit up. In this case I used bright pink lipstick and a cobalt blue to add that color!

Also the wonderful necklace I am wearing is from a very sweet person behind Sparkle and Sophistication. She is so easy to communicate with and her jewelry is fab, definitely check it out. You won't be disappointed!

Hope you all had a great weekend & Happy Monday!

 

Trending: Faux fur vest

Forever 21 sweater // H&M faux fur vest (old) // Zara pants // Hunter rain boots (similar color) // J.crew necklace // Phillip Lim for Target handbag (sold out )

I have recently gotten into the faux fur trend, I am seriously looking into getting a faux fur snood next and maybe another vest to add to my wardrobe. If leather or animal print isn't your thing maybe you might like this trend.Thoughts? 

Happy Monday to you all!

What I wore: Blanket scarf

I've always loved a simply outfit but to add a bit of color I decided to wear this cozy scarf. Seriously, one of the best purchases I have made this Fall. I got it from Zara for a reasonable price!

When it's not on my neck, it's literally so big that I have used it as a blanket.

Hope everyone is well! Happy Tuesday!

Casual will do

 So long story short, midterms and registering for my Spring classes and working has taken over my life! I have been all over the place, the past few days and I don't think it will be ending soon. Where are you winter break?? Lately my outfits have been super casual even for work! So be patient with me while I go through these crazy times! I will be posting as much as I possibly can!

Outtakes are always fun to post, like my awkward standing pose? 

There's more where that came from!

Chunky sweater+ fall booties

I am all over the chunky sweaters lately. So comfortable to just throw on and go. I added a great statement necklace and some cute booties. Which btw are amazingly comfortable, I wore them all weekend and even went shopping in them all day. Don't let the heel deceive you, I had to search high and low for these pretties. Can you guess where I got them? Yeap, Target! Snag a pair if you can. :)

Sweater Weather

I am hoping everyone is having a great Friday. This weekend I am hoping to make my way to a pumpkin patch as well as enjoying  a dinner date with the boyfriend. Also on the agenda is celebrating more family birthdays!

 I am loving the crisp weather which allows me to bring out the sweaters! I have gone a little crazy online shopping for sweaters, and I don't think I am stopping any time soon. What Fall fashion item do you seem to not get enough of?
