CHUNKY KNIT SWEATER AND OVER-THE-KNEE BOOTS

 
BRACELETS  GOLD X | HOOK | DIAMOND X
It's finally warming up in Charleston, hallelujah! I'm already tempted to wear white everywhere, in anticipation of spring and summer, but for now, piecing it together slowly will suffice.

This bubble sweater is from a store that I shopped in religiously all throughout high school. I strayed away from this retailer the past 5 years or so, until someone at work came in wearing this sweater. I asked her where she got it and immediately bought it online. It's so versatile, which is always what I shoot for, as most of you know! I can pair it with jeans, as I've done here, or I can wear it with black leggings, or even some cute dress pants: these are my favorite. It can be worn on both, or just one shoulder. I put a cami, like this one, underneath, for added warmth.

If ever there was a better brand of jeans for me, I haven't found them yet. This denim has been washed weekly and holds up like it's brand new! The style comes in so many washes that it's hard not to buy every pair I see when I'm shopping. I promise you, you won't be disappointed.

I bought these over-the-knee boots on a whim, and have gotten so much use of out them. They were a great price, so obviously, I couldn't resist. I have worm them with denim, as well as dresses (post about that outfit, coming soon.) They stay up all day without falling or needing to constantly be readjusted, and are super comfortable.

After I take photos, I like to immediately upload them to my laptop and decide if I need to take more. On this particular Sunday, two things happened: it started to downpour as soon as I got inside, and then, my card reader completely died. I tried everything possible to make it work, alas, I had to buy a new one. This post would have been up over a week ago, but.......life happens. So, I hope you've enjoyed now that I've finally been able to import, edit, and upload all these photos!




Do you have a retailer that you've recently gone back to purchasing from? I'd love to hear all about it in the comments, below! As always, thanks for stopping by!

PINK BLAZER, SEQUIN TOP, WHITE SKINNIES

 
 
 
 BLAZER BANANA REPUBLIC | WHITE SKINNIES PAIGE | SEQUIN TOP INC, NO21
ESPADRILLES TORY BURCH or SAM EDELMAN | BRACELETS TIFFANY&CO and CHARRIOL

    I woke up in the middle of the night and put this outfit together last week - it was one of those "do it now before you forget" moments. I'm so glad I did! I love the way this outfit mixes business and pleasure - all the while looking super sophisticated and put together.
    Sequins....gold, sparkly, sequins. What's not to love? It's an effortless way to jazz up any outfit. The sequins don't itch, and the t-shirt material is soft and stretchy.
    This blazer is from Banana Republic; I purchased it about three years ago on clearance and have gotten a ton of use out of it, but using it for this outfit is one of my favorites. I have linked several similar options including this and this. If your skin tone is less appreciative of a salmon tone, then try one of the bright pink options that I chose.
    I'm sure you all know that these are, yep, you're correct, Paige Denim. If you're looking for a more distressed look, try this pair of ripped skinnies. I have a pair that I love, but they were dirty when I shot this, so my clean, plain pair had to suffice. (They still look cute, am I right?!)
    Now, let's talk about these espadrilles....I mean....hello! I love these because they are great for all occasions and they're super comfy. They're the first pair of closed toe espadrilles I've ever purchased and when my nail polish is chipped or I'm too busy to change it, they're the shoes I reach for. They're also great for when you want to look cute but it happens to be raining outside (which happens a lot during spring time on the East Coast!)
    Since my blazer is bright and my top is shiny, I went pretty easy with accessories for this outfit. I figured that my clothing bling was enough. I've had this Tiffany & Co. hook bracelet since I was in middle school; it's a classic and I love to match it with different pieces.




    Do you have any pieces that you've owned for years and keep restyling? Let me know in an email or in the comments below. As always, thanks for stopping by! xx
