So... to say work has been crazy lately would be an understatement... just a lot going on.  I always try to start the day off doing something that takes the edge off and outfit planning is just that for me. Being that I work in a very conservative environment.... I can't quite get by with wearing sundresses and sandals all summer. So to keep my personality showing through in my looks I add colors and patterns to keep me feeling like myself.

This dress is such a great layering piece... I know it will work well for layering for fall and winter, but for now I am loving the print and light texture paired with a simple blazer. Speaking of blazers... have you checked out the stock at Forever 21 right now??? OMG! Amaze! The prices are so great and the color and pattern selection is to die. I went for this great magenta shade, but I will definitely be going back for more to stock up for my fall work wardrobe.

When I showed these amazing shoes on insta I got a lot of questions. One word: SHOEDAZZLE! I have had the best luck with them this summer. I love the blush and magenta combo! They are quite the steal and I highly recommend them.

Lastly, I have been layering with my Moon and Lola hashtag necklace for weeks now and it is finally available on their site! Love this thing! The clear acrylic really goes with everything and is so dainty and understated.

I hope you have a wonderful start to the week!

I don't know about you, but this weather is getting a little much... One day it's in the 50's and the next we are calling for snow and wearing puffer jackets. It can make a girl go crazy... especially when trying to get dressed in the morning! 

For the warmer days we have had this has been a go-to look. Especially when I have plans after the work day. I often trade out my bottoms from work with denim to bring my work wear from day to night. 

The blazer was a find last spring from Forever 21, I just love the color and wear it to work on days that need some extra color. I found a pretty amazing dupe here from Nordstrom... so if you are in the market for a mint blazer you're in for a treat. The peplum top added some femininity to the look and the lighter stripes are a great compliment with mint. I can't get enough blazers... I love that I can create so many different looks with one piece. 

How are you coping with the crazy weather? 

I hope you are having a great day and thanks so much for reading!
