7 For All Mankind Slim Illusion Skinny;

Brixton Alex Hat in Grey;  

sunglasses: Prada}

I have been wanting a Pashli Mini for awhile.  It's perfect for every day.  It's not too small that you can't carry anything in it but it's not too large either.  I fell in love with this colour so I finally pulled the trigger since I was looking for a spring bag and I could not get this one out of my head!  I love that the colour is feminine so it'll look great with summer whites and dresses, but the zippers give it edge so you can dress it down.  I love this colour paired with navy, which is a great alternative to black and perfect for transitioning into spring (and looks great on brunettes!).

Check back later today when I'll be posting my Friday #OOTD!

oversized denim jacket

{Free People Roe Denim Jacket in Monroe Wash (also love this vest); 

tee: Free People (similar here);

FRAME Denim Le Colour Ripped Skinny Jeans (also here);

Urban Outfitters Felt Slouch Fedora (sold out online, similar here); sunglasses: Prada}

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  It was a bit chilly so I wore this perfectly oversized Free People denim jacket, which is a must-have for spring in my opinion.  If it's colder where you are, it's great for layering with thicker sweaters.

Have a great week!

#OOTD / beach day

Happy Friday!  Today's #OOTD is inspired by the gorgeous weather we had this past week in South Carolina.  It was actually t-shirt weather for a couple of days and it got me super excited for the summer, which should actually start some time next month.  I'm excited that I get to start shopping for spring clothes as they come out.  I've shared some things I purchased the other day at the Shopbop 'up to 25% off' sale (sale ends tomorrow!).  I also bought these amazing hot pink bandits (I lived in my bandits last summer) and this striped tee from Madewell.  I finally decided to get a new pair of sunglasses (I need a prescription, which is why I'm almost always wearing the same ones).  I've been eyeing Wildfox's 'Malibu' sunglasses forever and finally decided to try them.  I bought them in white and I am obsessed!!  They're big and bold and definitely for the fashion girl.  Other beach essentials: a tote, hat, flip flops and, of course, the flamingo.

Happy shopping!

shopbop spring sale

Shopbop was probably the first online store I ever shopped at and it's still one of my favourites.  I especially love their spring sale where you can save up to 25% off!  Sale ends Saturday and things are going quick!  I've been eyeing a 3.1 Phillip Lim bag for a long time and I finally scooped one up yesterday (if you're on the email list you get to shop a day early).  I chose this sage version because I love pastels, but I also love the one above which will go with everything.  I love these metallic Stuart Weitzman sandals, but I scooped up these black Schutz lace-up sandals because I lived in the red version last summer.  It was hard to decide, but I think I chose wisely.  This is the time to get those investment pieces for spring - shoes, jeans, a bag.

Happy shopping!  I'd love to hear what you scored.

#OOTD / work it

Happy Friday!  Most of my outfits are pretty casual now that I'm a stay-at-home mom so today's outfit is a little different.  I came across these pants and I would be all over them if I was still working.  If it has a bow on it, I'm sold!  I still might purchase them because you can dress them down with a tee and flats.  (They come in white too!)  I used to live in heels when I started working over 10 years ago, but since having kids I've grown to love flats and these ZARA ones are only $40!  (I also love these, these and to splurge on these.)  And you can never go wrong with a classic white button-up and black tote.

You can shop the pieces below.  Happy shopping!

oversized sweater

    {Wildfox Couture Valley Sweater (now on sale! also here, last seen here);

7 For All Mankind Josefina Feminine Boyfriend (now on sale! last seen here);

hat: Urban Outfitters (sold out online, similar here);

ring: Free People; sneakers: Vans; sunglasses: Prada} 

Last winter I was still working in an office and wearing, well, work-appropriate clothes.  This winter I've been living in oversized sweaters now that I'm a stay-at-home mom living in the South.  I'm pretty sure I've said it before that Wildfox Couture makes the best sweaters.  Although I can't complain about the weather here in the South, I'm excited it's starting to warm up (April flowers bring spring showers in February? I'll take it!) and I can start shopping for flowy dresses and floral tops.  But I won't be putting this sweater away because it will be perfect for those cool summer nights by a fire or on the beach.

overalls, a white tee & a cardigan

 {overalls: Madewell (sold out online, similar here and love these);

525 America Patched Elbow Cardigan (similar here and here);

tee: GAP (similar); necklace: Guess (old);

hat: Brixton; sunglasses: Prada}

I was hesitant about the overall trend because I'm petite (I've done the short version many times, but have not worn long ones in years), but these Madewell ones fit great and are super comfortable.  I'm now even thinking about getting their spring ones (tagged above) and I love the idea of pairing them with a white button-up.  I wanted to pair these with a striped chunky knit sweater, but it was really warm this weekend so I paired them with a simple white tee.  Adding a boyfriend cardigan is perfect for when there's a bit of a breeze.

Hope everyone has a great week!
