Olive Green

Jacket: Theory, Sweater: UO, Jeans: seven, Boots: Rachel Comey

As you can see I wasn't kidding when I said I've been into the color olive recently. I even decided to mix two clashing shades in one outfit lol.

I've been wanting a pair of Rachel Comey boots after repeatedly seeing them on the blog Blushing Ambition and I finally found a pair on sale. I highly recommend this style if you're considering getting a pair. They are super comfortable and well made.

Over the weekend I went to Williamsburg and picked up this Theory jacket ($40), a Rachel Comey cardigan ($30), and my favorite buy of the day...a pair of fleece lined leggings ($7). I love getting a good deal secondhand.

Amber Diamond

I was in the need for some retail therapy this weekend, so I picked up this Dior highlighting powder I've been wanting for a few years now. I could never really justify spending so much on a product that's not "essential", but I finally caved today since I had an unused gift card from my birthday last month.
It's funny how sometimes all it takes is something sparkly and pretty to lift your mood.

Leather Sleeves

Jacket: Maison Scotch, Sweater: UO, Jeans: sevenforallmankind, Boots: Acne

Leather sleeved jackets are nothing new but I always find myself passing on the standard blazer with leather sleeves even though I like the look.

I'm glad I waited for the recent online sales because I found a new favorite jacket. I love the military style body mixed with the black leather sleeves. It's not a huge departure from the typical blazer but I like how it's just a bit more casual and worn in looking. I'm also a huge fan of olive mixed with black this winter.

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!
