unfancy

Eshakti sent me this adorable dress way back in December.  When I picked it out, I thought it would be perfect for New Years Eve, but it ended up being too cold.  Then I was going to wear it for Valentine's Day...still too cold.  Now here, sometime in between spring and summer, I've got this fancy dress that I'm still dying to wear.  Naturally, the only thing to do is to unfancy it.  

And denim jackets are a surefire means of unfancying anything.

When I went to find you the link for this dress, I got all kinds of distracted by all the amazing completely customizable new dresses available for spring.  

This, this, and this may or may not have made it onto my birthday wishlist.  

Just in case you were wondering.

switching things up and layering

I'm wearing my sweater backwards today and loving it even more than wearing it as it was intended.  I've worn this a few times (here and here), but this is by far my favorite!  I'm also loving piling on the statement necklaces.

nerd alert

I think I've finally gotten out of my dressing slump, and hopefully will be retiring my leggings for the season.  And now that the time has changed, I can feel spring just around the corner.  In honor of fresh starts, I picked up some new glasses at Target this week, and I'm smitten.    

PS  With summer fast approaching I have decided to part ways with my bangs again, so we'll all be coming very familiar with my very fancy bobby pin until I figure out what to do about these wayward hairs!

work it wednesday - closet favorites + friday fancies

I am trying really hard these days to be conscious of what I am purchasing and only add pieces to my wardrobe that I will love for years to come.  My absolute favorite wardrobe essentials are turtlenecks, skinny belts, pencil skirts + colorful pumps.  All of these pieces are classic and will be worn time after time after time.
{until I decide I hate yellow or purple or aqua, that is}

The remix options with these colors + pieces is virtually endless + they're all on sale, and you know what that means...

Every single piece is completely needed + justified.
