Cognac Booties 12.03.2014

 Top: J.Crew Factory (on sale!) | Jeans: Forever 21 (similar, better version here) | Booties: Elliott Lucca at Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor | Hat: Sole Society (similar | same hat in black) | Bag: H&M (similar here, here) | Watch: Fossil at Macy's / on sale here | Bracelets: Margaret Elizabeth, Lily and Laura | Lips: L'Oreal 'Raisin Rapture' | Nails: Essie 'Power Clutch'

I have been hunting for the perfect pair of cognac leather booties since late August, and I finally found them! I'm so so happy with this pair... The color is exactly what I wanted (light enough to easily wear with dark denim and black), the leather is really soft and looks great, and the heel height is perfect (high, but totally wearable). I've had so many outfits in mind to wear with cognac booties, and I love that they're technically a neutral, but honestly add a little bit of color and dimension to an outfit.

The tunic blouse I'm wearing happens to be on sale today, and I've found it's so great for both work and casual outfits (and layering)!

Sweater Dress 11.10.2014

 Sweater dress: H&M (old, similar here, here, want this one) | Boots: Vince Camuto (25% off!) | Leggings: Express (30% off) | Hat: Prima Donna | Bag: H&M (similar here, here) | Necklace: Forever 21 (similar here, here) | Watch: Fossil | Bracelets: Margaret Elizabeth, Lily and Laura

This little sweater dress is from last year, but I couldn't wait to pull it out again with the cooler weather. I've worn it before with tights and heeled booties, but this was a fresh way to wear it more casually with leggings, boots and a hat (inspired by Alyson at Sequins & Things)! My black hat is a new find from Prima Donna and I'm so excited about it! There were several more expensive black hats that I had on my wish list, so I was so pleased to find this one for such a great price (just $25). Now I'm thinking of adding the burgundy and camel to round out my collection.

Annnddd, my amazing Vince Camuto boots that I want to wear every single day are 25% off right now at Nordstrom! I'm so happy with them and they look so much like the 50/50's that are out of most of our price ranges. (I've also linked 4 additional similar options below).

Rain actually had a lot to do with this post (if you live somewhere in the middle/southeast of the country you may also be experiencing days on days of rain and some massive storms)... When I woke up yesterday it was pouring and I saw it was supposed to rain all day, so I didn't really bother to do my hair. Fortunately I had a bit of wave going on so I only curled a few pieces to make myself presentable for work. Unfortunately, I ended up in the rain multiple times and my hair was less than gorgeous by picture time. So in came this hat! I happened to have it in my car, so it was the perfect addition for photos to a) hide my flattened hair and b) to wear it on the blog for the first time. Let me just say that it's an amazing hat! The quality is excellent, it's comfortable, and it has a wider brim without being too floppy. I really want it in the camel also, and I want to find a similar hat in burgundy and black (apparently I'm going to start collecting them).

I'm also so excited to be wearing these boots on here for the first time! You may have read  my fall must-haves post last week, but over-the-knee boots are all the rage right now. I'm really happy with my pair so far, and I've since found a couple more similar options for you all (linked below).

fall uniform 11.10.2013

Sweater: H&M (I went up a size in this) | Jeans: H&M (absolutely love and recommend these - tighter fit, but stretchy and still true-to-size)

Booties: Target | Purse: Phillip Lim for Target (sold out online)

Initial bangle & necklace: Brin and Bell Etsy shop (absolutely love these & her shop is so cute)

Any time I find a great-fitting and flattering oversized sweater or knit I seriously do a little happy dance in my head. They are surprisingly hard to find, yes? This little H&M knit is one of my favorite finds this fall and I will be wearing it as much as society deems acceptable! There is limited sizing left in the stripes online, but all sizes are still available in the black (which I'm thinking about buying as well).

I hope you all have a great week! I'm definitely not ready for the weekend to be over.

xo,

Jacy
