short skirt and a looong jacket.

10 brownie points for anyone who recognizes the song I referenced in the title of this post!

Other than my loving the song that this title is taken from, I have been absolutely LOVING jackets lately.  I'm talking real, deep, commitment here people!  I swear I've only worn one outfit without a jacket in the past week.  It does also help that the weather has significantly cooled down and has been perfect for jacket-wear.  Anyway, enough about my jacket-overdose.  This post is to show-case what I've been wearing the past week.  

Oh, and before I forget, prepare yourselves for an incredible upcoming giveaway from the one and only Flourish Boutique!  I don't think any of us are ready for this jelly. ;)

work-look bonanza!

Hi Lovelies!  Hows was your weekend?  Mine was spent dancing the night away at a friend's casual outdoor wedding reception.  And now that I'm home I'm just taking a few moment to wind down before the work week starts back up.  But, I wanted to get caught up on outfit pics and share some of the recent H&M goodies that I purchased on my LA trip--I'm absolutely in love with all of the pieces!

I'm also totally digging this amazing Designer Inspired Jewel Necklace C/O Style Lately.  It's so cute by itself, but it also pairs brilliantly with other necklaces.  Fabulous!  Thanks, Style Lately! :)

because i like skirts.

My #1 fashion go-to for work is, and probably always will be,  skirts.  And when paired with a great jacket, voila!  You look put-together in less than a minute.

Oh, and you know what takes the skirt/jacket combo over the top?  A fabulous pump!  

You've got to check out the ones I'm wearing below.  They're both from Target, and they're absolutely divine!

tweed it to me!

Every once in a while I get obsessed with something.  A few months ago it was bubble necklaces.  Let's spare my feelings and pretend that my borderline crazy obsession with them is normal... ;)

This month?  TWEED.  If it's tweed, I must have it.  Did you know that last week I bought three (THREE!) tweed jackets in one day?

Well, as in turns out, I like tweed on my top AND my bottom.  Jackets, skirts, GIMME!!

double peplum.

I've had several e-mails about posting date night outfits.  So, here you go, Loves!

My best advice is to wear something that you'll feel sexy in.  Structured jackets, interesting tops, and unique jewelry are your best bets.  Oh, and the sky high pumps!

Vavavoom!
