Long Hair Throwback: Stripes and Floral

J Crew sweater // Forever 21 shirt // Gap jeans // Dansko shoes // LOFT Sunglasses

Striped Turtleneck, Fall Layers, and New Purse

If you follow me on Instagram, you've already seen this Pour La Victoire bag. I bought it in the middle of the summer, and was dying to bust it out for fall. I'm a sucker for a bag that mixes neutral and brights, and I feel like the only way to go right now is a satchel.

Now I'm ready to move on to a winter bag...

Neon Fair Isle

I love this weird little sweater. It reminds me of how I used to shop and dress - I would scrounge TJ Maxx and the sales racks at Blomingdale's for gorgeous, fabulous, unique pieces. I had a whole wardrobe full of non-basics. It was NOT easy to get myself dressed, but back then, I had a few hours to put together a look. And good lord, did I have fun!

As we grow up, life gets busier and we start to narrow down what works for us, our wardrobes start to get more streamlined. This is a good thing, and helps us cultivate a more sophisticated, polished version of ourselves. But this goofy sweater - one that I almost didn't even try on - always makes me smile and reminds me to let my eclectic flag fly.

I'm working a little bit of a 70s vibe here. The weather has been all over the place, so I took the cold front as an opportunity to sneak this plaid shirt in while I still can. I've been OBSESSED with finding this shirt - which I saw on several bloggers, but found J Crew only had 10s left. I saved an ebay search, and at 3am one night, I spotted this one and paid more than I might have at a more reasonable hour! Upon it's arrival, I wasn't sure this was the exact one, but I still adore it. This baby will be in high rotation come Fall.
