Everyday Outfits

{Tommy Hilfiger Jacket (ADDITIONAL 25% OFF WITH CODE ‘FRIEND’, J. Crew Striped Tee (SAVE UP TO 30% WITH CODE ‘GIVEMORE’), Old Navy Rockstar Jeans, Vince Camuto Ankle Boots, Valentino Sunglasses, Dooney & Bourke Crossbody Bag, c/o oNecklace Custom Monogram Necklace & Cutout Monogram Ring (10% OFF WITH CODE ‘CC10’)}

Today’s outfit is super-casual, but it’s filled with so many things that I’m loving at the moment. For starters, my new custom monogrammed baubles from oNecklace are exactly the sort of timeless pieces that go with everything and can be worn again and again (not to mention the fact that they make AWESOME gifts). I’ve collected several pieces from this company over the years, and they never disappoint.

Next is this adorable top that I couldn’t resist scooping up at J. Crew. I extolled the virtues of striped tees earlier this year, and this one absolutely takes the cake with the addition of four festive bows that adorn the back. I can’t wait to wear it with my navy blue mini skirt from yesterday’s post.

And last, but not least, is this statement-making jacket from Tommy Hilfiger. I snagged it on the clearance rack at Macy’s a while back (along with the matching skirt), and I love how it instantly jazzes up any ensemble.

All dressed up, and no place to go…

That was exactly my predicament earlier this week. I was working from home with plans to step out for lunch to take some quick outfit photos. Unfortunately, I was stuck inside all day due to the rain. Never one to waste a cute outfit, I decided to improvise by taking photos inside and dragging my husband out to dinner that night making myself a nice big mug of hot cocoa.

Believe it or not, I had this dress earmarked for the Goodwill until I stumbled across this image on my instagram feed. I immediately came to my senses and rescued it from the donation pile (don’t worry, there was still PLENTY left to give away). The last time I wore this piece was almost a year ago, but I love how it feels fresh again when paired with a pale pink coat and matching ankle boots.
