Casual Date Night

Top: LOFT  Jeans: Citizens of Humanity  Shoes: BCBG Paris  Bracelets: vintage and Stella and Dot  Rings: gifted and Tiffany and Co.  Sunglasses: Ray-Ban  Bag: Urban Expressions

After trying this shirt one with about 100 pairs of pants last week, I finally pulled out my freshly-hemmed (by yours truly) Citizens and opted for a laid-back date look. I originally envisioned this shirt with white shorts or my leather skirt, but decided that it's just as cute when dressed down with a comfy pair of jeans and sandals. 

I originally spotted this top on the LOFT Instagram feed and thought it was just about the cutest shirt I had seen in years. Insta-marketing totally works. I found myself in the store later that day and walking out with this beauty in my bag. 

Have you ever fallen in love with something on Instagram and bought it asap? Please say yes. I hope I'm not alone on this.

Color blocking: Round 2

Sweater: Gap  Pants: Gap  Shoes: Guess  Necklace: Stella and Dot  Sunglasses: Ray-Ban  Bracelet: Vintage

As I have said before, I am a huge fan of this color blocking trend. I think it is because it adds so much to a simple look, especially with the neon in this sweater. I love how it stands out against the rest of my grey outfit. Plus, it may be one of the more comfortable outfits I have worn in weeks.

What do you think of this trend? Love it? Hate it?

Friday Night Stripes

Dress: Local Boutique  Necklace: Gifted  Bracelet: Vintage  Watch: Michael Kors

Happy Friday! I wanted something light and fun for my last work day of the week. I have loved this dress since the day I got it and knew it was the perfect outfit for today. I love everything about this dress-- especially the hemline.

Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Summer Stripes

Top: Banana Republic  Shorts: Banana Republic  Watch: Michael Kors  Shoes: Jessica Simpson  Ring: Stella and Dot  Necklace: Stella and Dot  Bracelet: Vintage  Sunglasses: Ray-Ban

Blue and white stripes are one of my favorite summer looks. I chose this casual outfit for an afternoon of running errands and then heading over to a friend's house in the city for some champagne on the patio. I normally would have gotten a little more dressed up for an evening out but it was so hot all weekend and after a full week of dressing up for work, I really wanted some shorts and sandals in my life. I love how comfortable shorts can be! I used to hate shorts but recently began loving them-- too bad I can only wear them a few days a week.
