WEAR IT NOW, WEAR IT LATER

I don't really believe in having separate wardrobes for each season. Besides the obvious (snow boots and swimsuits, for instance), I like most of my clothes to transition seamlessly from summer to winter and vice versa. This means relying on basics like fitted oxford shirts, great jeans, lightweight sweaters, and one of my new favorites: the trench coat. Here's how I'd wear it now and how I'd wear it when it warms up in a couple months...



Classic camel and navy now, a pop of turquoise later. Finish either look with this killer cuff and a swipe of my favorite pink lipstick and you've got instant polish. Are you a fan of the trench coat? What's a recent wardrobe staple you've invested in? Have a great weekend! xx

PRETTY IN PASTELS

I took outfit pictures (coming soon!) in a white dress over the weekend and noticed how frighteningly pale I am... which doesn't bode well for my newfound love of mint greens and periwinkle blues. Alas, for those of you who aren't ghostly white this time of year:





I'm usually a brights kind of girl (evidence here, here, and here) but I'm kind of digging these softer hues! What's your color crush at the moment?
