Leaves

Pink Print Flora Silk Top Diane Von Furstenberg | Raspberry Pink Cardigan, Black Skirt, and Leaves Pendant Necklace Forever 21 | Black Suede Booties Steve MaddenBy now one can probably note I have an obsession with Diane Von Furstenberg. I have so many tank tops, but the weather has not been cooperating with me in order to start showcasing my spring looks. It has not been appropriate for dresses and skirts without leggings or tights either, but it will be soon enough (I hope.)

The top was the inspiration for today, but it is too voluminous so tucking it in makes it work better for my body. The cardigan clearly matches the same shade as the feather print, and adding the boots makes the look more casual. Overall, I love this look and it could be perfect for warmer weather minus the boots and tights and opting in some cute flats instead.

Rainy Day

Red and Black Checkered Parka and Black Jeans Forever 21 | Hello Kitty T-Shirt Sanrio | Black Suede Boots Steve MaddenThe picture was taken after work when the sun came out, but it was raining for most of the day. This meant business at the store was especially slow, but thankfully I have interesting coworkers who make the day feel like it is going by a little faster.

Today’s look was inspired by what a spread from Nylon Magazine, particularly the parka’s pattern. It has a skater/snowboarder vibe, but it was also practical to wear on a cold, rainy day like today. Since it was red and black colors on the jacket the shirt was a perfect match.

While I feel I have a grunge look going on, I’m excited for the weather clearing so I can wear dresses and skirts more often.

Little Black Dress

Little Black Dress H&M | Belt of mini belts Wet Seal| Sparrow ring Forever 21| Black Princess Coat Steve Madden
I wore the Steve Madden princess coat in black over this classic black dress. I just had to buy the princess coat in black too! It was on sale at Alloy.com, and was offered a discount on shipping. It is more casual than the Bebe one I’ve worn before, and it is able to go with everything I have in my closet.
Today the weather was not too bad. No rain, but still cloudy. I figured I should dress up since tomorrow the office would be closed, and I will be dressed down for work at the stationary store over the weekend. This dress is one of my favorites, and I found at Crossroads Trading Co. I purchased it even though it looked different on the hanger, but I had a feeling it would be form fitting and work with a number of accessories and shoes I owned. The only difference is that it came with belt loops and a leopard print belt, which was okay, but I felt the dress could stand on its own. So far it has, and it has been my go-to pick when it comes to interviews. I have paired it with a silver trench and pearls,  and with a navy scarf with nude pumps. I choose the belt for today because I wanted something edgier. The ring and coat soften up the look, and keeps it office appropriate. Crossroads has never failed me when it comes to finding the perfect little black dress, so I would recommend taking a peak at their selection. There is always something to be found and taken home.

White Leather Jacket

White Leather Jacket Be Hip! by Me Jane | Floral Print Top Sele | Black Pants, Pink Headband and Gold Flower Pendant Forever 21 (Necklace here) | Pink Suede Boots Steve MaddenToday’s post is pretty short. My Grandma was in the hospital, and coming down home after the concert was originally my plan. I wanted to dress in a way that would make my grandma cheerful when she saw me. I opted for pink (her favorite color) and also wanted to be comfortable. Spent most of my day there with her, and tomorrow plan to do the same before heading back to Berkeley. If I could request days off I would in a heart beat, but can’t skip out of work since I am on a Limited Appointment. She looked better when I left today, so we shall see if she is discharged tomorrow.
