Trench // Top // Pants // Bag // Heels // Sunglasses 

Trench coats have come and gone in my closet in every size, color and fabric imaginable,  at one point I even purchased a hot pink one {what was I thinking?!} from GAP. Needless to say,  bright colored or printed pieces rarely get utilized as much as simple classics. I had been on the waiting list for Everlane's classic khaki trench for about five months and it finally shipped last month. It is SO CUTE! I have been wearing it non-stop since I took it out of that box. It quickly turned into my favorite layer to throw over my office outfits {such as the one above} or over my leggings on my way to yoga. It has a slightly oversized look. I'm a size 2 and purchased the extra-small; I have worn large thick sweaters under it and they fit quite comfortably. I have also worn it over thin dresses and a tight simple bow on the belt will make it look. The black pants I'm wearing on this outfit are my weekday office go-to's. They are very comfortable and look great with just about any blouse tucked in. 

As as side note, sorry I have been a little MIA on my blog. I'm trying to get more educated on running a website and that has taken up most of my time as of late. But I'm very excited to tell you that I am learning a lot and can't wait to put everything I have discovered into practice. 

Hope you're having a wonderful week!

Casual Gray Cashmere

 

Sweater // Jeans // Shoes // Bag {similar} 

Helloooooo 2018! I am so very excited about this first post of the year, there is something so refreshing about having a clean slate to start over. Makes my brain go crazy with ideas and goals. But before I get ahead of myself and I start talking about it all I want to do I want to share this AMAZING cashmere sweater from Everlane. Yes I am a fan, no I won't stop. I just love just about everything they do. As a matter of fact I just placed an order for this today...so perfect for Spring! I got this sweater back in December and I wore it to work the very next day with black slacks, then to dinner with my husband with a black leather skirt. So versatile! I did a more casual look this time with cropped boot cut jeans, my new favorite black flats and my trusted leopard bag. It's been cold in Austin lately so I am wearing sweaters almost every day, gotta take advantage!

Hope you are having a  F A N T A S T I C  beginning to your year :)

Wool Oversized Blazer

Blazer // Dress // Boots {similar} // Bag // Lipstick 

Growing up in the 90's is one of my favorite memories, I vividly remember a lot of the fashions we currently see in stores. Blazers were such a big part of the 'business woman' look. I wanted one so badly after seeing Elizabeth Perkins wear them on the 1994 re-make of Miracle on 34th Street. Fast forward a few years and I got the most versatile piece from Everlane! It is no secret I am a HUGE fan of the brand and its high-quality, thoughtfully designed goods. It arrived a few days before my trip to Ecuador and I wore it to work the next day; paired with  black slacks and a white button down. I also wore it to the airport with jeans and sneakers, I wore the outfit above for dinner while on vacation. It is very warm and although oversized it is not huge. The shoulders and arms are very form fitting which makes the blazer fit properly. I will for sure be packing it to bring home during Christmas; so many outfit options with just one piece!

Pink Cashmere Sweatshirt

 Sweatshirt // Skirt {similar} // Sneakers // Bag // Lipstick

Everlane has been on a roll lately, they have been releasing new products weekly for the past month and I'm loving every single one of them. It is no secret that I am a big fan of the brand and I'm obsessed with cashmere so I was BEYOND exhilarated with the new cashmere sweatshirt. I did not own any baby pink sweaters so I decided on this lovely color, it's so subtle and soft, love it!  The sweatshirt came in on Friday last weekend and we had a cold front in Austin so I wore it the very next day with jeans, later that week I paired it with my black eyelet skirt and sneakers for dinner. I know I'll be able to dress it up for work with gray cigarette pants and heels, so many possibilities for a single piece. The sweatshirt runs true to size, I got the extra small and it fits loose enough to be a sweatshirt but not so loose it looks sloppy. I recommend hand washing and air drying cashmere, it will last forever!  if the casual sweatshirt style is not your jam, they also have this cream sweater and this caramel boxy style. 

Happy Friday! Hope you have a great weekend planned ahead.

Baby Blue with Everlane

 

Top // Jeans // Heels // Bag

For the past couple months I have been trying to build a capsule wardrobe for work. The dress code in my office is business casual -on the dressier side-. When I started this capsule project I noticed I had a lot of pants and skirts but not a lot of tops, so I started shopping and carefully selecting items that I would wear in a variety of situations. This Everlane poplin square shirt was a no-brainer. I've worn it with black pants and heels and with denim and my favorite clutch on Friday. I can go from office to happy hour in no time! It's super comfortable and I love the soft french blue tone. I've also recently purchased this dressed up sweatshirt and this tee to wear under a blazer. Can't wait to have this little project completed and be able to mix and match all of my choices.

Happy Tuesday!

xx, Nicole
