Spring Blazer

by

When Spring has officially sprung, the weather can get a little funky. It’s almost, barely but not quite t-shirt weather! So close but not quite. So what to do? Throw on a blazer over a t-shirt of course! I’ve been loving casual looks with oversized blazers lately. I usually associate blazers with work outfits, but they look great dressed down too. Who would have guessed they work great with jeans and sneakers? This one from Zara is oversized and inspired by menswear suits. Love the pattern on this one and it’s a perfect outer layer since the material is a wool blend.

Another recent obsession has been anything Levi’s (though you probably got that impression by the t-shirt already). Love these super skinny 720 high-rise jeans in Azurite–I feel like they’re the perfect lighter wash jean without looking too mom-ish. They have a more modern look with a perfect amount of stretch. Oh, and did I mention their jeans are super affordable? It’s a win-win! To complete this casual look I added a pair of comfy sneakers that also look great with blazers–these Van’s “Old Skool” sneakers have been my go-to shoes for a while now. They’re surprisingly versatile, and look great with both jeans, dresses, and skirts!

Ochre & Blush

by

I’m been a big fan of mustard tones and over the last few months it seems like it’s become a trend. I’m not complaining–I love seeing more of this color! Before it started making the rounds, it was kind of hard to find the perfect hue. Sometimes mustard yellow looks a little too bright for me instead of the rich, golden tones that I prefer. These “boyfriend” style pants from Pendleton are pretty much the perfect golden-y ochre that I’ve been looking for and I’m super excited to finally find them! And if you’re wondering, I believe they sell this color under the “curry” tag. That’s another thing, it’s almost impossible to search for mustard yellow because brands tend to sell it under random names.

To complement the chinos, I went with a clean and simple menswear inspired look with this very lightweight button down and leather oxfords. I am obsessed with these U.S. made oxfords from Walkover! They’re made from bison leather and designed with a good year welt construction, which is one of the best ways to build a long lasting shoe. You know when you hold something and it just feels like quality? Those are that feeling in a nutshell. As for accessories, I love pretty little details just like this leaf ring in matte gold from the Etsy store, Vermeil Supplies. They have very affordable accessories that add just a little something extra to an every day look.

Heather & Fawn

by

I was recently inspired to try out a bit of menswear styling–you know, slacks, button downs, loafers and oversized cardigans. All of which I happen to be a big fan of! I had the idea of wearing something that you might see your English professor wear but I wanted to make it more feminine and updated. 

This big oversized cardigan is perfect for such an occasion. It’s so cozy comfy it feels almost like a blanket! The jeans are nearly as comfortable as the cardigan as the material is extremely soft sateen. I am absolutely obsessed with this fawn color–it’s just so pretty. These suede loafers from Steve Madden have been one of my favorite closet additions. They go with so many things and have a simple, classic look. They’re also made out of a super soft suede so there was really no break-in process at all!
