WEEK NIGHT

Anthropologie Top // J.Crew Jeans, Similar // J.Crew Wedges, Similar // Michael Kors Bag

I just love week night date nights.  Comfy jeans, pulled back hair and a red lip is all the night requires.  Of course that and a couple of margaritas!

I hope you've been having a great week!  I can't believe the weekend is already here!

OLD IS NEW

Anthropologie Dress // Old Navy Clutch // J.Crew Heels (on sale!) // Ray-Ban Sunglasses

I don't know about you guys but whenever I have any sort of event to attend I feel like I should probably buy something new for it.  It doesn't matter if it's my sisters birthday or someone's friends wedding.  It's quite dumb considering the number of dresses, skirts, etc... that are in my closet but I assume most of us feel this way.  So when I went to a wedding a couple of weekends ago I was quite impressed with myself that I pulled from what I already own.  Part of it must be attributed to the fact that I just moved so what's old feels new again (and quite honestly never worn!)

There were a couple of contenders but my 7 year old nephew convinced me I would feel much more comfortable in this one and I couldn't argue with reason.  He also preferred my hair pulled back and what he says goes!

Have you found anything in the back of your closet lately that is just begging to be worn?!

SUMMER BRIGHTS

Madewell Skirt // Zara Crop Top // J.Crew Wedges, Similar // Bag from Kauai

With all the burgundy, fall textures and and chunky sweaters hitting the stores, I can't help but grab for my brightest colors and summer eyelets in my closet..  Thats why this outfit was the perfect combination for what I wish could be endless summer nights.

In my opinion nothing beats eyelet.  Whenever I am shopping with my husband he jokes that if I see an eyelet it will come in the fitting room with me.  I love it in the spring, summer. and even find ways of incorporating it in the winter.  Are there any items that you don't discriminate against despite the season?

PROBLEMATIC

Thrifted Maxi // J.Crew Wedges (on sale!) // Old Navy Clutch // J.Crew Earrings, Similar // Ray-Ban Aviators

Oh this dress... It truly is one of my faves.  The problem with it, however is that it's more of a beach cover up and less of a dress.  Seems to be a reoccuring problem around here; dresses that aren't actually meant to be dresses.  Regardless, this one has spent the majority of it's time in the back of my closet just begging to be worn.  That is until a friend gave me this pretty dress and I wore it as a slip.  It felt like some sort of crime to wear such a pretty black silk maxi as a slip but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

OLDER & WISER

Anthropologie Tunic (Similar) // J.Crew Bag // J.Crew Sandals // Ray-Ban Aviators

This dress, scratch that, this top, has quickly become the best thing about being shorter than most. While most would have to wear this cutie as a tunic with jeans, I got it wear it all on it's own.  The day was hot (in the nineties--yikes!) so jeans weren't an option anyway.  Thanks go to my sister for giving me this dress as a birthday present... not only is she older and wiser, but she is a good three inches taller than me making this too-short-to-be-a-dress top a perfect fit on me.
