My Not So Secret Addiction

I didn't even realize I was wearing pretty much head to toe J. Crew until I started doing this post. I noticed I had been buying a lot more in the last few years, but didn't realize how much of a collection I had amassed. Those constant 40% sales just KILL me {in a good way.}

So yeah. I have been a bad blogger. Very very very bad. If you follow me on Instagram {hint hint} you'd see my shameless selfies in front of the fake wood are still abundant. I'm moving on to a bigger position in my company and just haven't had much time any more-- but its a great change! I'm trying to get back on blogging bandwagon, so hopefully you'll forgive me.

Midi Mix Up

This is another fabulous oldie but goodie {and by oldie I of course mean a whole 2 years or so} that for some reason I hadn't worn in ages. I love the classic cut of it and ladylike length, while the contrasting patterns keep it from being too uptight.

Recycled

Everything comes back around in fashion sooner or later-- its like its 1995 all over again lately-- which is I of course hate to get rid of anything. My entire outfit is courtesy of my awesome Mom {ok minus the jacket, bag and shoes} over the years. I always look forward to treasures like these from my mom, she has such great and unique taste!

Sundress City

This was one of those rare weekdays where my outfit change didn't involve gym clothes or pajamas, but another dress! It was a crazy busy day, but I managed to snap a few pictures of two of my favorite sundresses {oldies but goodies.}

Dress: Anthropologie {old, try this or this}

Sunglasses: Ray Ban // Shoes: Converse // Bag: Old Navy

Spots and Stripes

While I do absolutely love how in fashion wearing sneakers with everything is, I'm not actually doing it for that reason. I'm still trying to baby my foot {or bone??? not sure yet...) so for now sneakers are the only things that are working. Thank goodness I've been stocking up throughout the year. I may need to get some 'fancy' metallic ones for important meetings though {only half kidding.}

Dress: Old Navy {last year, but try this or this one in blue} // Belt: vintage Gucci

Nail Polish: Essie 'Lollipop' // Bracelet: J. Crew 

Sunglasses: Ray Ban // Sneakers: H&M // Bag: Old Navy

Match Point

Its not just tennis style sweaters {hello Rag & Bone Talia sweater....} that I'm obessed with-- aparently its all tennis inspired apparel, from head to toe! I'd even been looking for a white drop-waist pleated dress {yes, I really do get that specific} so I was pleasantly surprised to see this ON SALE at J. Crew for under $100. The pleats don't hold as perfectly as I'd like, but still well worth it. Now just to get over my fear of wearing white and spilling on myself...

Dress: J. Crew {on sale now!!} // Necklace: Amrita Singh

Bracelet: Vintage // Nail Polish: Essie 'Bikini so Teeny'

Blazer: Kulson // Bag: J. Crew // Shoes: Chanel {old but similar here}

Drop it Like its Hot

I was going to title this 'Desk to Drinks' but where is the fun in that? Yes, I am going from work straight to an industry cocktail event, but why pass up an homage to Snoop Dogg? Exactly. I go through phases where I ether love or hate drop waist dresses, and lately I'm all about them. Especially with the warmer temperatures I'm loving the way they still have a little shape, but don't restrict. Plus, I can kind of do a shimmy since there are pleats {obviously not at work!}

Dress: Asos {try this or this} // Jacket: French Connection {similar here and here}

Retro in Red

I've always been a sucker for anything legit vintage, or just vintage looking/inspired. I stumbled upon this dress at Anthropolgie on crazy sale and couldn't resist. Plus, the buttons means that I can wear it to work...or strategically unbutton a few and wear it out, making it semi-convertible clothing {which I also love.}

Dress: Anthropologie {similar} // Blazer: Kulson {try this or this}

Earrings: Gemma Redux {love these Baublebar ones} // Cuff: J. Crew {try this or this}

Nail Polish: Butter London 'Fiver'

Bag: J. Crew // Heels: Chanel

Pearl Party

I fell in love with this necklace instantly on Anthropologie...but then for some crazy reason didn't purchase it immediately. I rarely have the patience to buy anything on back-order {chalk it up to a love for immediate gratification} but this was so worth it. Its simplicity makes it all the fancier in my opinion, such a delicate but statement making piece. Of course, now the style is all over the place, but I still feel like its pretty timeless.

Dress: Zara {old but try this or this} // Coat: Teri Jon {hand me down from Mom!}

Necklace: Anthropologie {or try this Zara version} // Bracelet: Vintage {actually a necklace!}
