New Year, New in Pink

Hello! The new year brings a new camera for me (and a tripod!) so I hope to be posting more this year than I have been.

To start off, here are some new items in my wardrobe. This cashmere sweater is almost too cropped for me, it's a little unflattering around the stomach. But I love the color and that is what's flattering about it! 

These jeans are from AG, they are the "Mari" high-rise. Gotta wear a high-rise pant with a cropped top! These are my favorite jeans right now.

I hope you all have had a great start to 2020 and that your year is filled with beauty and light.

A Superior White Blouse for Work

It's difficult to find a work-appropriate white blouse that isn't sheer. This Murphy long sleeve blouse, which also comes as a sleeveless tank and a short sleeve shirt, is from Aritzia. What makes it special is that its body (not the sleeves) is double-layered fabric. They make this style in different colors and prints each season and it's really a great basic piece. Stains don't wash out well, however, so best to wait for a sale.

One Dress Two Ways

Here is a great secondhand find, a black denim dress! I styled it two ways. First up, with heels! I think this would be more of a night-time look.

Next, for a day look, tights and flats worked perfect while still being edgy-cool. Especially with the moto bag.

Another Great T-shirt Find

Sometimes when you find a really special t-shirt, you have to share it with the world! In my book, a great tee is one that is opaque, soft, not too long, and drapes beautifully. This James Perse tee is one of those.

I picked this shirt up in Chicago at Bloomingdales recently. They had a black but this one is "carbon", kind of a washed black. It is called the Vintage Little Boy Tee in lightweight jersey. Wow, it's fantastic! I highly recommend it for quality and softness, in case you are looking for a perfect shirt.

Fall Dresses New and Old

Fall is here! I have packed away all my shorts and sandals, and am loving wearing dresses during the days where it can still get hot with temps in the 90s, but the mornings are pretty chilly.

First up, an A.L.C. sleeveless trench dress that I purchased secondhand. Of course the first day I wore it, I spilled Coke on the front and dry cleaning did not get it out. Oh well!

Second, a dress from LOFT that I got last year, maybe for Christmas, I can't remember.

Neon Yellow Shift Dress, with Cat

Our friendly cat decided she wanted to be in the photo! I love bright neon colors, and this dress was too cheerful and summery to pass up!

Dior Aventure Polish

I love these poppy-red colors! OPI's On Collins Ave is also very similar. If you can believe it, this is one coat of Dior Aventure topped with Dior Gel Top Coat.
