I am most definitely a go-to jeans kind of gal and most times I like dress my denim up. Dressing up denim almost streamlines your events of the day by wearing one outfit! You can go from desk to dinner, meetings with clients to meetings up with friends or day date with mom to date night with your beau. One of the easiest ways I like to dress up a pair of jeans is with a blazer and a statement necklace! For this time of year, wool is best because of its thickness and warmth. And I find that wool blazers are incredibly easy to find! Step out of the norm and go for a pop of color or a neutral color over the traditional black blazer! The camel blazer I'm wearing effortlessly compliments the black and white combo!

Now if you frequent The Embellished Closet (thanks!! J) you may have noticed the Banana Republic Honeycomb blouse. I’m a huge advocator for mix and matching styles and pieces! The first time I wore was during the summer with a pair of boyfriend shorts and flat sneaks. If you missed, check it out! Finding simple pieces in forgiving materials allow for greater variety! I’m sure I’ll wear this top in a completely different look soon enough so stay tuned!

Now, back to the blazers. I found in a bunch of unique styles and colors I just had to share, which is your favorite??

Vesting It

Hi lovelies! I hope everyone is having a fantastic week so far! This week I've been in the mood to switch things up from my typical black trousers and black blouse, tank, sweater, you name it! When I think of Fall I think of layers so styling myself with a vest was a no brainer! I like that vests give you many looks depending on which top is worn and can easily transition from casual to edgy in an instant! 

Leaning more towards edgy, leather is the perfect staple. What makes these Banana leggings great is the mixed material; leather on the front, stretchy cotton on the back! These are one of those universal bottoms that will fit any size and shape, petite, curvy, boyish, or tall! And since they're ankle length you can strut in any shoe and they be completely visible! I decided on the burgundy suede Adelia's to contrast the olive green vest. Unfortunately, this BR vest is sold out but I've found a number that will look killer!

So Distressed

Hi Dolls! Happy Friday! I don't know about you but I'm so stoked Fall is here...and Friday! I'm working my way step by step to break away from summery items. The solution...spaghetti straps and chunky cardigans! It's where I find that happy medium. Or maybe it's just my way not not being able to completely let go of Summer! When the afternoon sun is at it's peak I can go bare armed around town...the second that bay breeze rushes in I'm ready!

I'm wearing a Theory tank I located online at Shopbop! I love that they have the 'heart it' feature so if your favorite item gets marked down, you'll be the first to know! It's totally worth diving through the site to pick out your favorites and let ShopBop do the rest! Distressed jeans have because a regular for me recently. My favorite thing to pair distressed skinnies with are comfy tops and chunky cardigans. Unfortunately, there aren't enough casual Friday's in the week for me to wear them more often! Till next time, here are some more chunky cuties that'll keep you cozy this Fall!
