Casual Thursday.

Sometimes (almost all the time) simple is better. I tend to gravitate toward simple staple pieces that can be layered, accessorized or styled differently to create multiple looks.

Try to pick a few staple items that can be used and mixed with other items such as a basic white or black t-shirt, a jean jacket, a neutral colored blazer, black or dark wash skinny jeans, neutral colored flats. Paired with a floral scarf, statement necklace, colored belt and a classic leather tote each of these pieces can be easily be transformed into functional and chic outfits.

J.Crew Jean Jacket (similar here), J.Crew Striped Pullover,  J.Crew flats, necklace and pants, Elliott Lucca pouch.

This would make for a perfect weekend look that you could easily change to make it you. If you refer a scarf to a necklace throw on a patterned scarf and some booties if you want a height boost (if you're short like me I love heels for some extra height!). Stick to finding great basics that fit well, are made to last, and that are comfortable.

Last Week's Evening Out. (Outfit Post)

Last week I went to a good friend's birthday at a favorite downtown restaurant. They have amazing pizza, pasta, and salad (all some of my most favorite foods!). It was a cool evening and I had been running errands after work all afternoon and didn't have alot of time to change so I kept it simple and fun.

Madewell Jeans, J.Crew Factory Flannel, J.Crew Booties, J.Crew infinity scarf.

Yes, you can say it - I have a minor obsession with all things Madewell and J.Crew. But after trying so many other jean brands and not finding a good fit, Madewell has again and again fit me in all the right places. (and they are so soft and have the best washes).

Happy Monday, stay warm and dry - if you're in my neck of the woods it's both rainy and cold.
