saguaro style

 I've been obsessed with this lilac moto jacket for months but it's finally, in January getting cold enough in Arizona to wear it! It really popped when I paired it with all black and I felt a little bit like Judy Funnie when I added a beret from Paris as the cherry on top!  I'm wearing: beret- Paris, jacket HERE, pants-joie (mom's hand me down), otk boots from Vince Camuto HERE , bag- Coach NY (eBay) Would you wear a boldly colored moto jacket? How would you style it? Do you like berets this winter? Do you mind when your OTK boots remind you of a pirate (these definitely do for me)? Let me know below! xx

I challenged myself with making a simple Spring-y striped work dress into an edgier winter look by pairing it with my Sofft otk boots and my go-to moto jacket that I wear at least 3 times a week. It so surprisingly comfy and warm (fully lined with rayon) and it is faux leather but feels very real and looks quite expensive for what I paid...($39). Gotta love Marshall's & TJMaxx, am I right?  I'm wearing: sunglass- old, pacsun, dress Marshall's, otk boots- Sofft via Poshmark, jacket JOA at Marshall's  Do you ever try to update Spring dresses or mix seasons to get more use of your wardrobe? Let me know in the comments! xx

 Do you ever dabble in western wear? This outfit started because I wanted to take my new (from Poshmark) lace up velvet moto jacket for a spin and I thought the green on the jacket would pick up the green on my Cactus boots that I've been obsessed with since I picked them up on Black Friday. Hope you like this look as much as I do. It's like urban cowgirl, city western, and it was perfect for a pretty regular weekday!  I'm wearing: western shirt Miss Me ( for sale in my closet !), leather look jeans- Joie, jacket- blanc noir (from poshmark), boots- Corral available for 25% off HERE!

 I went with two themes today with my outfit...(and I'm finally caught up on dates and looks, yay!) bow ties and navy with pink! It started with inspiration from beating the game Kirby: Planet Robobot this morning, and wanting to put together a cute outfit to celebrate. I'm going out later and will probably have to throw on warmer boots and and a coat for dinner but this did nicely in the morning and afternoon! && look at my saguaro necklace that was a great xmas gift!  I'm wearing: anthropologie sweater, marshall's dress, old american apparel knit super high socks, sven bow tie clogs (read my review in my clog diaries post) Happy Saturday! I'm so happy that it's the weekend. Do you like to pick themes for outfits? Let me know below :) xx

You know, I always thought this coat was yellow, but looking at my color wheel, it's almost orangey. Nonetheless, I love it, and it's like a secret hoodie/sweatshirt that looks like a coat. I wanted to wear something casual but also playful and a bit sunny since Friday was my last day of report card stress before parent teacher conferences in two weeks. It was nice to just be done with it and go on to the next batch of teacher projects that I need to do! Being halfway through the year is exciting but also stressful. The most exciting things for me right now are definitely knowing that my anniversary is coming up in February (I'm a valentine bride!) and our first ever trip to Europe is also coming up in March!  I'm wearing: sebby coat, thrifted sweater, page jeans, ae camisole, lotta from stockholm clogs The clogs and coat are both from Poshmark! It was my first pair of Lottas and I heard a lot of mixed reviews and opinions on sizing so I just took the ...

 I find myself reaching for this plaid dress from anthropologie all the time. I'm so into it! It also is an unexpected and cool match with my red cropped sweater from poshmark. On Wednesdays, at my school we wear red for anti-bullying so I try to wear my best red but also mix it up so that it's not always the same look every single week. If you know me or followed me for any given time, you know that I'm not really the t-shirt type, especially at work. I grew up in NY schools where teachers always looked professional and almost uniform-like in their ankle-length jumper/birkenstock uniforms or dark jeans and turtleneck combos (depending on the grade).  I don't wear these Swedish Hasbeens as much as my other clogs because they are just such an unusual color that I'm a bit intimidated by building outfits around them but the outfits I put them in, I'm usually really happy with and I am usually drawn to matching them with red to bring out the redder tones rat...
