TJ Maxx blouse // Madewell jeans // thrifted necklace // Fossil jeans // AJ Morgan shades

I was wandering around TJ Maxx as usual and I came across this shirt. It was about $10, so I couldn't pass it up. It's turned out to be one of my best purchases- appropriate for work, day, and a night out. Oh also, it's so comfortable. The benefits of buying an XL.

cozy layers

 Forever 21 sweater // Marshall's dress and scarf // River Island boots

This outfit is super cozy and perfect for the colder weather when I don't feel like wearing jeans...all of the layers keep me warm and I love the mixed textures and patterns. Wearing everything in the same color palette helps to ensure a cohesive look...something to definitely keep in mind so you don't end up looking miss-matched!

friday

H&M pants // Loft shirt // Relic satchel // AJ Morgan shades // gifted watch and bangle // Me Too flats // Lands End scarf

Well, it's Friday! Although it was a short week because of New Years Eve, adjusting to work after the holidays made it seem even longer. In honor of the day, I had to share this AWFUL necklace Anna and I found at a boutique. And by awful, I mean I'm strangely drawn to it. It looks like it comes with its own personal Rebecca Black soundtrack... one purchase I managed to avoid.

B. Makowksy purse // Marshall's top // Forever 21 skirt // Karen Scott boots

While Katina was home for Christmas break, we got a chance to go to our favorite restaurant in Norfolk, Luna Maya, for our yearly Mother/Daughter dinner with both of our moms. Besides hosting our annual gathering, Luna Maya seriously has the best vegetarian tamales and guacamole...seriously they're amazing!

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.

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.
