scenes from the past few weeks

Happy Friday, all! Thanks so much for stopping by – my readers make my day always :) To kick start the weekend I thought I would share a few snaps from the past few weeks. I’ve hit the ground running ever since returning from the holidays and New York Fashion Week begins in less than 2 weeks…I’ll be taking this weekend easy with a few plans with friends here and there and plenty of time to run errands, get my apartment in order and prepare for my mom’s visit in one week’s time…can’t wait!

One of my new year’s “do it better” (I don’t like to do resolutions per se), was to maximize what’s in my closet. Make  use of that shirt I haven’t worn in forever, layer different pieces in a better manner, break out those dresses I haven’t styled in a while…you get the point.

Anyways, I’ve been relying on my Pinterest “Just My Style” board to bring some of these aims to life. All it takes is a quick glance at some of those outfit inspirations and I’ve got a new idea for that plain white button down that hasn’t seen the light of day in a long time. Therefore, I thought I’d share some favorites.

Happy Wednesday…and thanks for reading!

spirit

Joie blouse, Gryphon skirt, Christian Louboutin shoes, Rebecca Minkoff clutch (sample sale score!), Kenneth Jay Lane necklace (c/o Thomas Laine), Jewlmint rings (c/o), J.Crew tights, Karen Walker sunglasses

These photos have been hiding on my hard drive and I just re-surfaced them. This is what I wore on Christmas Day. A touch of holiday spirit through a sparkly Gryphon skirt and rather simple in all other manners. It was unseasonably warm at home in Chicago for this time of year but I have to tell you, I kind of loved it, even though I missed having a white Christmas. I’ve since worn this skirt a few more times and this Kenneth Jay Lane necklace has become a staple in my go-to jewelry each day.
