Simple

Delia's peplum shirt, J.Crew Factory jeans, Target belt, Urban Outfitters black pumps, Fossil watch, Nordstrom bracelet, J.Crew Factory Giraffe necklace, BaubleBar Large Monogram necklace

I've been gravitating towards simple outfits these days. 

Must be the cold weather and the fact that I'm wearing a coat most of the day.

Happy Thursday! 

More hearts and pleats

J.Crew Factory heart sweater, thrifted skirt, Steve Madden Poized Heels, J.Crew necklace

I received so many compliments on my outfit at the PNW Blogger event I had to share it here. I'll share more photos from the event tomorrow!

Happy Monday!

Ahh loafers

H&M shirt, Old Navy jeans, Target shoes, Forever 21 necklace

leave it to Target to come out with a great affordable loafer. 

they are comfortable and perfect for the impending transition to fall {even though we've been having amazingly warm weather these days}

Happy Weekend!

I have family in town and lots of fun plans to look forward to. 

I love a good hair accessory

I tend to forget about this hair piece. 

I know, how could I forget about something this fabulous? 

Well, good news, I've been wearing it all weekend to make up for lost time.

Pleat Week Day 3

Jacket: Target, Shirt & Belt: Old Navy, Skirt: Vintage, Shoes: F21, Necklace: Borrowed from Best Friend Liz

My best friend Liz took these for me while I was visiting in Bend. I have had this skirt FOR EVER. I have had it since at least sophomore or junior year in high school. It doesn't have a tag and I can't even remember where I bought it. 

I love pleats because they are so forgiving! I can wear this with anything, day, night, casual, dressy, warm, cold. I take this skirt to camp sometimes and wear it in the wilderness for a reminder of what I usually wear in real life. I took it to London with me a few years ago, it's just so perfect! I love the length of these vintage pleated skirts, much more my style. I find vintage skirts, pleated or pencil, fit me much  better than modern skirts. They hit at my natural waist and give room for my hips. The best place to find these kinds of pleated skirts are at places like Goodwill and Value Village. Nicer vintage shops have them as well, but they are much more expensive!

Ok I will stop, clearly I love my clothes and I could talk about them all day. 

Happy Thursday!
