Winter Wonderland: Fur

We got our first snowfall for the year this weekend, which made the perfect backdrop for my previously planned outfit post!

Fur Vest(bought in Spain)// Button Down J.Crew// Jeans Gap// Hunter Boots// Hunter Boot Socks// Pearl Necklace The Limited//

I love how my mom decorated this tree! It was the perfect back drop for one of my favorite cold weather outfits. Over the past year I've definitely fallen in love with vests. They are a perfect layering tool and this fur vest is one of my new favorite pieces. I love wearing it with skirts and this gingham shirt. I'm excited to have more opportunities to wear it in the new year! These Hunter boots are perfect rain or snow. The boot socks add insulation and they still look cute with my outfits! 

Have a great week!

What I Wear: Internship

I work at an ad agency in downtown Milwaukee, and the dress is really casual. Basically no shorts nor work out clothes.

Shirt// J. Crew Factory Pants// Gap Shoes// Nordstrom Necklace//BaubleBar Earrings//Nordstrom

I would normally grab my jean jacket from Old Navy in order to stay warm if there is a chill in the office. This dress code is fun because I'm able to be more creative with my outfits.

What do you wear to your internship/job? Favorite stores?

OOTD's of Summer

Quick update before I start my first OOTD post. I am officially moved in and pretty settled. I've spent the past couple of days catching up with friends, struggling with a drying rack and relaxing alone. 

Here is my first outfit of the day post! I bought these two from L. Mae Boutique  and I love them! The dress I wore almost every week for work a couple different ways. The shirt has two of my favorite things purple & chevron!

Here are two of my OOTD's. Of course pearls are included in every outfit. 

Jean Jacket// Necklace// Sandals// Dress// Watch//

Shirt// Jeans// Sandals// Bracelet (Made by a friend)// Necklace (Old)

How did you like my first OOTD? a good idea or no? Be honest!

Closet Series: Summer finds and wishlist

So I went on a small shopping spree two weeks ago, and I still haven't told you what I've bought for my internship!

I would give pictures, but there's a lot of clothes! I'll list and make sure I will add sites I got things on. 

Have: I got a lot of really cute things from Gap and Old Navy . The khakis I have in khaki, olive and navy. I wear them multiple times and various ways. At the end of the post I have some examples of what I've paired them with. The maxi dress is perfect for my office which is chilly.  The blue and white shorts are super cute, and my go to for summer nights. I also picked up some super cute shirts from the clearance at Loft and Gap. 

Want: This Marley Lilly Bracelet is perfect for summer. I am not really into arm candy, but since wearing a watch for work, I've got used to it!. This purple dress from Hope's is beyond perfect, and would look great with my pearls:) These Sperry's have been on my radar for awhile. I am going to buy them eventually! 

What have you added to your closet?
What's your favorite place to shop sales?
