2 Ways to Wear Something: Leopard Print Skirt

Not the first time I’ve mentioned this, but although Agnes & Dora is best known for it’s amazingly comfortable leggings, their other items are equally as comfy and cute!

What I like most about their leopard print skirt (other than the leopard spots, obviously…), is the fact that it looks great both dressed up and kept casual.

Holy chic! Right?

The second way is actually how I wore it to The Lady Project Summit this past Saturday. Oddly enough, I started to prepare for the summit by mentally picking out my outfit.

Major fail!

I ended up not having anything ready until after I did my makeup that morning.

Even though my outfit was kind of just quickly thrown on, I like to think I looked very much so put together. (I attribute that to the cape blazer.)

What do you think?

2 Ways to Wear Something: Halftee Top

Crop tops aren’t something that I typically wear.

Not because I don’t like them, just because…

And I also don’t own many. Or really any. And when I received this Halftee top, all I could think of is what I could wear it under. Or even over. I mean, it’s perfect for layering.

And reversible.

Then, I thought why not just wear it.

Layer it, but in a way that’s maybe not so modest.

I read somewhere that culottes were no longer in.

And to that, I say, suck it.

I like them. I’m going to wear them.

This pair I found online at Old Navy, for less than $10!

Alternatively, I’ve started to come to terms with the fact that I wear a lot of black.

I don’t even care.

Again, I like it.

Not that I have a favorite look of the two, but if I did, this jumpsuit is killin’ it!

I mean, I don’t wear it a lot, for reasons I don’t even know.

But I think it looks fantastic with the Halftee top, and will probably get worn more often with it than ever before.

Tell me how you would style this long-sleeved Halftee.

2 Ways to Wear Something: Cape Blazer

Of all the Who What Wear pieces I picked up, the one that had me rush out to Target in the first place was the cape blazer.

I had been wanting to grow up my wardrobe a little bit, and this blazer do just that. And in a trendy way. Now, usually I’m not all that big on trends, but this is one that spoke to my very core.

Everything I’m wearing in this post, aside from the cape blazer that is, isn’t exactly new. The actual items are no longer available from where I got them.

But don’t worry, I’ve linked to some similar items below!

2 Ways to Wear Something: Trench Vest

Just because I won’t be attending NYFW this season, it doesn’t mean that I can’t do something a little fashion forward on my own.

Even before I scored any of pieces from the Who What Wear x Target collection, I was thinking about which items I wanted and how I would style each of them.

One of my favorite pieces was this trench vest. I honestly didn’t think I’d actually end up getting it, but it is so me and I’m positive it’ll be worn very often!

Trench Vest: Target
Sweater: & Apparel
Necklace: Kate Spade
Jeans: American Eagle
Shoes: Dolce Vita (similar)

Also, if you didn’t notice, my hair is back to black. Well really dark brown, which is my natural color and a refreshing change.

Dress: Old Navy (similar)
Necklace: Shopbop

I’m already planning how I want to wear this next!

Call me crazy, but I am such a sucker for Valentine’s Day!

While I may not be the mushy type, that doesn’t mean that I don’t value love. Speaking of love, today my sister and I are going to an event all about celebrating self-love.

In kind of honor of said event, I’m sharing two Valentine’s Day inspired looks featuring the perfect red winter hat that I found on clearance at Target, after almost giving up hope!

Necklace: Mirina Collections
Clutch: Kate Spade

2 Ways to Wear Something: J. Crew Stadium-Cloth Cocoon Coat

Disclaimer: This blog post contains affiliate links.

My little nook of New England finally got hit with some snow.

But not before I was able to put together a couple of outfit with wear with a winter coat.

This J. Crew Stadium-Cloth Cocoon Coat was my most recent wardrobe investment. I got it last winter and it was definitely worth it for how often I wear it.

You can also save big by getting it from J. Crew Factory!

I wanted to show you just how easy it is to wear it both casually and a little more formally. And if a pair of overalls and a tight little black dress don’t demonstrate that then I don’t know what else could.

Coat: J. Crew
Shirt: Old Navy
Overalls: Gap (similar)
Crossbody Bag: BAGGU via the Poshmark app
Hat: Silence + Noise (similar)
Boots: Forever 21
Necklace: Kate Spade

Dress: Asos
Purse: Forever 21
Hat: Forever 21 (similar)
Heels: Christian Louboutin

See…
I told you I’d make an effort to wear my So Kate heels more.

And given how cold out it is now, I’ll probably be doing the same thing with this coat.

A lot!

2 Ways to Wear Something: Christian Louboutin So Kate Heels

Disclaimer: This blog post contains affiliate links.

I am far from rich, so I don’t have many investment pieces.

My Christian Louboutin So Kate heels are my among my utmost possessions. I saved, and I mean saved, up for these bad boys like you wouldn’t believe! I love wearing them, because they’re gorgeous little works of art. Plus, they make my legs look AMAZING.

However, they aren’t exactly the most comfortable shoes, so I don’t wear them very often.
