WEEKEND WARDROBE

scalloped tank  //  necklace  //  blush  //  jeans  //  sandals (on sale!)

Happy Friday, friends! I'm getting ready for a housewarming brunch at my apartment tomorrow (time to stuff everything I own into one closet...) and hoping to cross something off my 101 in 1001 list on Sunday... Maybe walking Rory across the Brooklyn Bridge if the thunderstorms hold off? I spent some quality time with my mom in Connecticut on her day off yesterday and couldn't ask for a smarter, more caring, or more beautiful role model. Happy Mother's Day to all the mamas out there! xx

OUTFIT {GO BRIGHT OR GO HOME}

J.Crew blazer  //  BB Dakota tank top  //  Sole Society necklace c/o

Henry & Belle jeans c/o  //  J.Crew wedges

These pictures make me so happy! New York is truly in bloom right now — cherry blossom trees, tulips in every color under the sun, and window boxes starting to look alive again. It's perfect inspiration to introduce more color into my life so I started with pairing this hot pink silky tank (under $50!) with this bright orange statement necklace (only $35!). 

I don't usually wear orange as a redhead but I do think affordable costume jewelry is a great place to step a little outside your color comfort zone. Sole Society is definitely best known for their affordable shoes but I was really pleasantly surprised with their jewelry assortment. There are plenty of brights to choose from! This necklace will be just as cute with a blue oxford shirt or a classic striped tee. And I can't wait to replicate this look sans blazer with white jeans for dinner dates this summer. Are you a brights or neutrals kind of girl?

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO SUMMER SANDALS!

I tend to wear my shoes into the ground and New York is especially hard on footwear — I feel like I have to replace my shoe wardrobe at the beginning of every season. In addition to these and these (must-haves for weekends in the city!), here's my ultimate guide to the pairs I'm eyeing this summer. Flats, gladiators, heels, t-straps, wedges... You're sure to find something you love!

one  //  two  //  three  //  four  //  five  //  six

seven  //  eight  //  nine  //  ten //  eleven  //  twelve

thirteen  //  fourteen  //  fifteen  //  sixteen  //  seventeen  // eighteen

I already own these (everyone should have at least one pair!) and I just purchased these (they. are. perfect!) and these (this season's update to the pair I wore here). I think my next two favorites would be these pretty blue ones and this budget-friendly pair. Maybe the more shoes I buy, the less often I'll have to wear each pair, and the longer they'll all last? ;) Yup, that sounds good to me.
