A lot has happened since my last blog post.
I went on a week long cruise for the holidays and celebrated my first new years in nyc.
I don't know why I've lost motivation to keep this blog going, but I feel like I first need to get back into taking pictures in general before I seriously jump back into blogging.

Looking back at my style during 2011 I think I've found what I'm comfortable wearing and have simplified my wardrobe to the point where I don't have a hard time deciding what to wear in the morning.
For 2012 I'd like to push myself to change up my silhouette and more specifically to get back into wearing dresses and skirts like I used to in the beginning of college.

For now I'm just going to post a few random outfit pics I have saved from the past month.

A belated happy new year to everyone!

Time for Layering

After the snow yesterday and sudden drop in temperature I feel seriously confused about what to wear. A few days ago I was comfortable wearing a sweater and one light jacket and today I was still chilly wearing four layers and a big fur collar.

It looks like the next thing on my shopping list is going to have to be a new winter coat.

Aubergine

Shirt: T by Alexander Wang, Jeans: H&M, Shoes: F21, Bag: Alexander Wang

I love the dark and kind of hard to place color of this aubergine blouse from T by Alexander Wang. I especially like pairing it with black pieces for an almost monochromatic outfit with a hint of color.

Navy Sweater

Sweater: T by Alexander Wang, Shorts: AA, Boots: Payless, Bag: Alexander Wang

I've definitely gotten into wearing the same easy pieces every day. Ninety percent of the time this means a sweater (like this navy one from T by Alexander Wang), skinny jeans, a belt, and my Acne pistol boots.

While I appreciate the ease of having a 'uniform' I still can't help feeling a little bored. Lately I've been wanting to incorporate some more mixed prints and layers into my wardrobe. Right now I'm wanting some florals/snakeskin and burgundy/navy. Easy changes.

I'm really happy with the fit of my new burgundy blazer from Zara. I've always been a fan of a subtle shoulder pad + slim cut sleeves. I think it's really flattering for my body type since I have annoyingly narrow shoulders.

Finished off this look with one of my favorite fall lip colors; Nars Matte lip pencil in "Damned".

We went to the MOMA PS1 for a relaxing Labor Day Monday. It was really humid so we didn't want to bother with driving out to the beach or anything like that. The museum was undergoing renovation so the exhibits were limited, but it was pay as you wish.

As you may have noticed I also purchased my first 'designer' handbag a few weeks ago. It's the Alexander Wang 'Donna' hobo and I got it for a nice discount online. I'm usually more of a semi-structured bag kind of girl but I liked the pocket details on this and how it can get pretty small and slouchy when there's not much in it. I also feel like it will wear in well and I won't be afraid to throw it around (which I already know is going to happen).

Nude Blouse + Faded Black Jeans

Top: THE SCARLETROOM, Jeans: sevenforallmankind, Boots: Acne


My favorite easy outfit to wear these days is a nude blouse and skinny pants.

I picked up these jeans the other day at Filene's Basement. I love the faded black wash and the subtle slit up the back leg. I also saw some black skinny flares that I'm still contemplating going back for at some point. It always feels like a small victory to me when I find jeans that fit and have a short enough inseam.

Week-end

Top: Acne, Pants: H&M, Sandals: Dolce Vita, Bag: UO

I had one of those weekends where I feel like I wasted too much time figuring out what to do.
That feeling is so frustrating.

Good thing I already have a few things planned for next week.

What I have to wear today...

Knit Tank: secondhand Armani, Shorts: Ksubi, Sandals: Dolce Vita

One downside to working at a sweater company during the summer is that all I want to buy/wear now are sweaters.
Needless to say, this 100+ degrees weather we've been having makes that totally impractical.



p.s. I swear all the pictures I post on this blog from now on won't be of clothes on my apartment floor lol

Summer Essentials

Sandals: Dolce Vita, Shorts: Ksubi

I've already worn both of these to death this summer. Distressed denim shorts are really the easiest thing to wear in this heat and these are definitely my favorite everyday pair.
I kind of gave up trying to find comfortable platform sandals and just went with something low and versatile.

My current favorite shirt. I have a soft spot for sleeveless blouses and I love the snakeskin pattern on the sheer fabric.

Obviously not the best lighting here, but I wanted to do a quick outfit post in my new apartment.
I'm pretty excited about having an open wall and hardwood floors.

Back From My Vacation

Well unfortunately I haven't been on vacation this whole time but I was in Miami and Key West for a week at the end of last month so that explains these pictures. The weather was consistently beautiful and I was really in need of a break.

After I came home I went back to work and started packing like crazy so I could move from Philly to New York that coming weekend. I've already been here a few weeks and I love my new apartment. It doesn't hurt that it now takes me about 30min to get to work instead of 2hrs.

So basically my excuse for abandoning my blog is that I was busy and I only had internet installed today. Now I just need a photographer to help me take outfit photos and I'll be back on track!

Thankfully we had a break from the rain yesterday and I got a chance to have some fun before spending the rest of the weekend packing.

Yes, I'm finally moving to new york in two weeks!!

New Boots

Since I almost exclusively wear boots I thought it was about time to get a pair that isn't black for once. These are perfect for spring/summer and I feel like they'll be really flattering on bare legs. Obviously inspired by Isabel Marant here but I still think they're simple and classic. I don't really mind going for the trendy shoe silhouette because it makes online shopping that much easier for me because I already know what I want.

Went to AC yesterday so I spent today relaxing and then going out for lunch and a movie.

I'm trying out the mixed denim look I talked about earlier and I'm really liking it so far. I think I might have to find a short sleeve denim shirt to transition this look into summer.

Mixed Denim

Loving this denim color block trend for spring/summer.

I've been really into high-waisted shorts lately. I feel like it's a subtle way to look a little more dressed up when you're just wearing shorts and a t-shirt (not that it's warm enough for that yet). Now I just need a cute belt that actually fits at the waist to finish off the look.

I forgot to take pictures while I was actually wearing this outfit. Obviously I've been pretty excited that it's warm enough to wear shorts.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!
