Did y'all know that J.Crew changed the design of their No. 2 pencil skirt? What the heck! Aside from the fact that they wrinkle like crazy from sitting/general wear, they are nearly perfect in terms of fit. Now, to be fair, I haven't tried the new style on, so I could very well like them as much or more, but the feedback I've gotten so far has not ...

The Uniform
Growing up, I went to Catholic school and in high school we wore uniforms. I sometimes hated them, but I'll be the first to admit they made mornings much easier. Two looks have become a uniform for me in the working world--- a simple top tucked into a pencil skirt and a crisp white shirt and skinny dress pants. These combos always makes me feel ...
On Repeat?
Lately, I find myself wearing the same pieces to work over and over. I definitely have my favorite, no-brainer outfits that I always feel fantastic in, so I often repeat them or switch out one element like paring the same top with a different skirt. One of my favorite things about blogging used to be shopping and picking out new looks to style and ...
The Perfect [Navy] Dress
I've worn this pleated flare dress from J.Crew so many times since I purchased it about a month ago--- which tells me right off the bat that it's a great buy. You really can't go wrong with a simple, classic-shaped navy blue dress. I wore it for the first time at Harper's birthday party and many times since then, including to my friend's ...
Summer Dress + Flats
Summertime is all about lightweight dresses and flats for me. It's become a uniform of sorts, especially on those days where you leave an air conditioned space only to feel like you got slapped in the face as you feel the hot, hot humidity against your skin. I purchased this Gap dress a couple of months ago for 40% off and I love it. It's a ...

You can never have too many dress shirts---they're easy and work just as well with skirts as they do pants. This Banana Republic one with polka dots is a favorite. The blue color goes with everything from neutrals to brights. blouse- banana republic (this nearly identical one from BR is beautiful! USE CODE "BR40DAYS" FOR 40% OFF OF YOUR ...
Three [Great] Purchases
Lately I've been really trying to pare down my closet. What I notice is that I tend to wear the same pieces over and over and some are left collecting dust…sometimes for a year or more (cue my embarrassment here). I've been giving away pieces I never wear to friends or donating them to charity. The items I give away actually prompt me to evaluate ...
The [Top] Top
When we were in Toronto, I didn't buy many things for myself. I always enjoy shopping at Yorkdale but I didn't find too much I wanted the day we went. However, I did pick up this gorgeous top from Zara which is quickly becoming my most favorite top of the summer. First of all, the pattern is lovely and secondly the detail on the sleeves is really ...
A Floral Blouse
When this J.Crew blouse first appeared online and in stores, I loved it so much that I bought it even though I was about 8 months pregnant. I knew I would regret not buying it and I was right! I really love the unique print and fun, bright colors on this top. I gravitate a lot towards emerald/bright greens so I knew my closet had to have ...
Bold Blue Stripes
I'm really glad I ended up keeping this Banana Republic half-sleeve striped dress. It's very comfortable and I love the bold stripes against the crisp white. I wore it with flats because I think the length is not a good one for heels and I did notice today that there is at least an inch to an inch-and-a-half of fabric in the hem and I may take it ...
