Bold







shirt: gap (available here) // pants: fab'rik (similar here) // blazer: old, similar here // coat: zara (similar here) // shoes: shoemint (similar here) // bag: balenciaga // hat: michael stars (similar here) // watch: michael kors (available here)

Day 11 of the Who What Wear 30 Day Wardrobe Challenge was "wear a bold print." I'm glad that was the challenge because its so easy for me to get into a monochromatic rut…. I've built a wardrobe of denim and neutrals that all go together and are easy to throw on in a hurry and sometimes forget about my fun pieces like all of my beloved printed pants. I can't take credit for this outfit though because a couple weeks ago Tash Sefton from They All Hate US had some gray printed pants with a chambray shirt and powder blue pumps on so I totally copied it….but I made it my own with my white structured coat and favorite wool fedora.

Day 10 of the Who What Wear 30 Day Wardrobe Challenge was "mix high-end with under $100." Honestly this one was not hard because I do that every day…..I have no problem saving money or selling old clothes to splurge on great accessories because I get a lot of wear out of them. And yes denim and coats are investments most of the time, but I'll tell you what, I bought this moto style jean jacket from Gap last year and I can't stop wearing it. Especially with all of the crazy weather lately I've probably worn it every day for the past 2 weeks. So when it comes to mixing high and low price points….. if you are going to splurge on something make sure it is a wardrobe staple….and also sometimes a $60 jean jacket can be an amazing find!

Top it Off






jumpsuit: graylee designs (loving this one) // hat: missoni for target (old, similar here)// clutch: vintage chanel // watch: michael kors (available here) // bracelet: stella & dot

Day 9 of the Who What Wear 30 Day Wardrobe Challenge was "wear the hat you claim you can't pull off." You know when you're at the point where if you see one more neon tulle skirt you might vomit? I'm there, I've been there, I was over it the first 30 times……why not something chic like a jumpsuit with some vintage Chanel to go out to dinner in? And a word for the wise…If you are going to do a fabric like tulle than make it fierce and offset it with dark colors and more structured shapes like Sheree did here…… stepping off my style soapbox now :)

PS I'll be catching up on all of my new things on Wednesday :)
