denim on denim

I'm always looking for an excuse to wear this beaded necklace I made with Anna a few months ago. I decided to try it out with denim on denim, my favorite trend of the past couple of years. Obviously, if the shades are too close you'll end up looking like your channeling J. LO in a denim jumpsuit. To avoid that disaster, I paired my shirt with the darkest wash jeans I could possibly find.  This outfit ended up being perfect for wandering around Georgetown this weekend and was just right for the fall temperatures.

puffer vest

One trend this season that I fell in love with is the puffer vest. I have been seeing it literally everywhere-- on children, teenagers, young adults, and even the occasional mom. It's not a new article clothing and has been around for a while, but now it's a little less puffy and a little more fashionable. I'm quite obsessed with mine and am thinking about investing in other colors or a quilted version...we shall see!

winter dress

I loved this dress when I bought it a few years ago and luckily I found it in the sale section. But, like always, I didn't follow the washing instructions and shrunk it. Luckily, a pair of opaque black tights gives this dress a new life and it is once again wearable rather than balled up in the back of my closet.

day at the museum

I wore this outfit on a recent trip to Norfolk with my mother. We went to the Chrysler Museum to take a look at their blown glass exhibit and just to look around at some of the art...it was really fun and inspirational, not to mention free!

cat-eye & leopard

Old Navy sweater // H&M pants // Loft scarf // Minnetonka moccasins // AJ Morgan sunglasses // thrifted bag

I've been wanting to treat myself to some new sunglasses for a while now, but I hadn't been able to find the right pair.  Needless to say, the second I stopped looking, I finally found the perfect shades. They're like a cross between wayfarers and aviators with a little bit of a cat-eye. I can't wait to wear them with... well, everything.

fuchsia&orange

 

Loft jeans // Wanted flats // Forever 21 sweater and jewelry

I love wearing bright colors, and one color combo that is trendy and cute (in my opinion) is orange and pink. The two colors are so vibrant and fun by themselves, and when put together they look chic with just the right amount of preppy. I paired the colors with leopard and gold, but pretty much anything goes with it: purple, tortoise, silver, white, brown, black, and the list goes on and on!

I've been living in the DC area for about two months now and I realized I have yet to really explore. That's what I decided to do this weekend and spent the day wandering around Old Town Alexandria. Needless to say, I fell in love. Waterfront views, old buildings, boutiques, great food, and fun bars with 90s cover bands... what more can a girl ask for?

shades of purple

So it is officially fall weather! There are no longer any of those random warm days in the forecast, and so I've finally packed up most of my summer clothes and pulled down my scarf and coat boxes. I've never been a huge fan of cold weather, but there are some positives to the changing seasons: pretty colors of the fall leaves, no mosquitoes, pumpkin flavored anything, and of course boots & scarves!
