Dots

I was feeling a little polka dot action today, and was happy to find a dress that I haven't worn in a while.  Sometimes, it's amazing to just stop and stand in your closet, and pull out pieces that maybe you've only worn once and forgot about. My mom calls it "shopping in my closet!"

I try not to have too many "one hit wonders" a term I use when referring to clothing that I purchase and wear once. Honestly, I was afraid this dress would be one of those pieces, but I'm pleasantly surprised that I've found more uses for this dress than one!

OOTD.

Today's outfit of the day is simple but stylish. I am loving fringe for spring. I have been eyeing these Sam Edelman fringe booties for a while now, but they have been sold out everywhere. I was happy to snag them after they replenished shipment at Nordstrom!

Zara Wish List

{ Zara Floral Print Dress | Nude Tote Bag | Flat Sandals | Faux Leather Skirt }

Unfortunately, I don't live near a Zara store, so the closest I come to finding great goodies is online. I find myself surfing the web for new trends at least once a day, particularly at night when I'm trying to wind-down from the day.

I'm beyond obsessed with neutral colors this spring, but mostly muted pinks and pale blues. Anything leather is alright with me - which is why I love this frilly faux leather skirt!

I'm pretty sure these Zara items will be in my closet at the first sign of spring.

What are some items you need in  your closet this spring?

Spring Forward

{Dress: H&M | Jacket: Gap | Booties: Vince Camuto (similar here)}

I (like everyone else) need spring to come fast! I decided to stay in and and add some color to my wardrobe. I recently purchased this cute little dress at H&M and am loving the versatility of it.

Looks like we should only have just a few more weeks of winter and we'll be in the clear.

What are some outfits/ways you are beating the winter blues and springing forward?

Last Minute Winter

Coat: Nordstrom (Sold Out) | Jeans: AG | Top: Forever | Hat: Nordstrom (Similar Here) | Boots: Boutique 9 (Old, Similar Here) | Scarf: Nordstrom | Glasses: Ray Ban |

This week, I tried to show PRACTICAL outfits. While I would love to live in a warm climate, that's just not the case for me. I can't frolic around with bare legs, no coat and little heels. At least until spring, we should try to get the most out of what's in our closet, because once spring and summer arrive, we will be saying "bye bye" to some of those favorite winter items.

While I've mostly been in Sorel boots to fight the cold and snow, I decided to pull a pair of leather boots out that I haven't seen in a while. I added a pop of color with this great wrap/scarf that my fiance got  me for Christmas this year.

Dust off some items in your closet and pull them out before it's too late! What are some of your last minute winter wears?

Barn Red

Jacket: BB Dakota | Shirt: J Crew | Jeans: Gap | Boots: Nordstrom

Despite the bitter cold temperatures and lots of snow this winter, we have had a surprising amount of sunshine. I took advantage of it, and enjoyed an outdoor shoot this weekend.

I love the simple look of a denim shirt and leather jacket. I recently purchased this great faux leather jacket from BB Dakota. It's the only one that I own that is actually a color, and I have already worn it with a bunch of different outfits!

What are your favorite layering pieces?

Hope everyone's having a great week!

{Dress: Forever, Boots: Vince Camuto, Jacket: BCBG (old)}

Lately, since I'm bored with winter, I've been experimenting with what's already in my closet. I find I try to get the most out of all my clothes, and don't limit them to the season when they were purchased. I bought this great dress in the summer, and haven't had a chance to wear it. Sometimes, simply adding a pair of tights to a summery dress can carry it to a different season.

Hope everyone's having a great week!

Chunky Knits

{Sweater: Forever 21, Jeans: J Brand, Boots: Sam Edelman, Watch: MK}

I am starting to get really sick of winter. Unfortunately for me, I think the cold season is going to stick around for a bit longer. I found this really cute chunky knit sweater at Forever. I have worn it more times than I thought I would. I like that it works with both blacks and browns. Versatile and contemporary!

A Grey Day

{Sweater: Nordstrom now SALE, Skirt: Nordstrom now SALE, Ring: Catbird, Watch MK, Necklace: Francescas}

I wear black and grey more than I probably should. I find that I get much more wear out of my neutral clothes than my colorful clothes. It's just me, and I've found what works.

I encourage you to find a palette of colors that work for you. For me it's shades of black, brown, blue, grey and green.  Today, I was feeling grey- mostly to emulate the winter that we've had here.

I had been looking for the perfect faux leather skirt on a budget (that didn't look cheap) for a while, and was so happy to find this one from Nordstrom. 

Give this look a try!
