sunday morning coffee

The Gap parka // Relic satchel // Madewell jeans // Nine West boots // AJ Morgan shades

After a week at home for the holidays, it's finally time to leave Virginia Beach and get back to the real world. Well... first New Years Eve and lots of champagne... then the real world. As per usual, Anna and I had to complete our last day in VB rituals- coffee and bagels at our favorite breakfast place and blog pictures in the freezing cold. Luckily my new parka I got for Christmas is SO cozy. I never wear coats, but I think this guy might have me converted.

chev

 

 

 

 

Everly dress // Katina's vest & watch // Forever 21 earrings // Michael Shannon boots

So I finaly got a chance to wear my homecoming dress again! I love this chevron dress because for one--I love chevron, and two--I love long sleeve dresses. Paired with an army vest and tan boots it makes this outfit more "day appropriate" and versatile.

sequins & denim

J. Crew shirt // thrifted blouse // Old Navy jeans // AJ Morgan shades // Fossil watch

I tend to make.... interesting choices at the thrift store. This shirt is one of them. Against the advice of all my friends, I insisted I needed it and bought it. Needless to say, it's been sitting in my closest for about a year now. I finally figured out my denim shirt could tone it down a little (hopefully a lot) and allow me to wear it in the light of day. After all, the denim shirt fixes everything.

mustard

 Forever 21 jeans, scarf, and purse // Michael Kors watch // RocketDog boots

Mustard yellow has been a favorite color of mine for a couple years now, which actually surprises me because sometimes it just does not look pretty. But used on the right clothing or home decor it is really bright and fun without being as obnoxious as a sunny yellow...but don't get me wrong, I also happen to love in-your-face yellow.

arrowhead

Gap cardigan // H&M pants // thrifted shirt and bag // Rugged Outfitters shoes // Fossil watch // A.J. Morgan sunglasses // With Lavender and Lace necklaces 

It's mid December and all things are pointing to the fact that it should be winter- Christmas lights, holiday office parties, radio stations that dedicate themselves to playing the same 10 carols or so in a constant loop- yet, we're still getting the occasional warm day. Too warm to wear a coat, too cold for nothing. This cardigan over my men's chambray button down was just right for an afternoon of wandering around downtown Norfolk (where I found these arrowhead and shark's tooth necklaces that I'm in love with.) And when it got colder later in the day? A great excuse to grab lattes and hideout in our favorite coffee shop.

denim&bricks

Forever 21 jeans and necklace // Off Broadway boots // B. Makowksy purse // Marshall's chambray and pink top

So I think it's pretty obvious if you're following this blog that we LOVE denim and chambray tops. Katina and I both wear them on a daily basis...they're trendy, super comfortable, and go with honestly everything. I wore mine with a pink top underneath and my dark jeans, but you can wear it tied with a skirt or dress, paired with colored pants or leggings, unbuttoned or buttoned-up...the possibilities are endless!

tribal print

Roxy sweater // H&M pants // Rack Room boots // A.J. Morgan sunglasses

I love the colorful tribal print on this oversized sweater but, despite the fact that it's cute and one of the most comfortable things I own, I always forget I have it. This particular morning, I'm glad I remembered it because the wind off the bay was freezing. The fact that my hair isn't covering my face in every one of these pictures is a miracle in itself. Maybe no more 8am photo shoots for now.

statement necklace

Gap sweater // J. Crew blouse // Madewell jeans // Nine West boots // Charlotte Russe necklace // Fossil watch // AJ Morgan sunglasses

I've been looking for a big necklace- I guess we call them "statement necklaces" now- for a while. About a week ago I hit a new level of desperation and ran to the mall (okay, multiple malls) everyday after work determined to find one. Luckily, when it comes to shopping, Anna pretty much knows everything and told me Charlotte Russe had a good selection. We don't usually shop there, but I was pleasantly surprised! Downside, I'm addicted and can't stop buying new necklaces.
