Layers on Layers

Even though it's still summer it doesn't mean that you can't layer (I layered clothes and accessories today)!  Which also means, it's back to basics.  If you layer your accessories, I would say to keep your clothing layers more on the simple side, otherwise your outfit could become a circus (I love me some basics!).



Layering necklaces adds a lot of interest to an outfit; especially if you're keeping it simple like I did today.  A plain white tank is like a blank canvas, and adding a couple of special necklaces takes the outfit from plain and blah, to ooh-la-la sparkly.


If you haven't noticed yet, I'm obsessed with these cat eye sunnies (from Paper Doll Vintage Boutique, which I talked about here)!

P.S. My Princess Leia buns are a throwback to my 90s childhood (although one of the older librarians at work told me I look like a little Dutch girl, haha), a.k.a my Spice Girls phase (which I pretty sure any 90s girl went through and rocked this hairstyle at least once!).


I'm seriously in love with these druzy dainties (mentioned in this post last week) sent to me by the lovely Angel, of August Jewelry Chicago.  She was so lovely to work with, and I can't say enough good things about my new necklaces.  Plus, they go perfectly with my long J. Crew tassel necklaces (they were obviously made for each other!)!

Check out Angel's Insta, @augustjewelrychicago, and make sure to snag your own druzy necklaces before they're all gone!  (You can order through: augustjewelrychicago@gmail.com).


Layering tanks and sweaters is perfect for where I work; I do a lot of running around so sometimes I get really hot, and then other times if I'm in one spot for a while, I cool down in the AC and start to freeze.  A cute and simple tank under a simple sweater is the solution to the constant temperature change.

And, bonus!, throwing on a sweater gives you a whole other look!  It's basically two outfits in one (#score!).




And don't forget your Sperry's!  These white canvas ones make any outfit more summery (especially since my entire wardrobe consists of winter colors, lol).

Shop my look (and similar pieces) here!

How do you guys feel about summer layers?  :)

TJX Rewards Spring Fling Shopping Event

My alarm went off at 6:30 today (ugh, I know, too early for a weekend).  Usually that's not something to write about, but today getting out of bed on a Saturday morning was exciting.  This morning was the TJX Rewards Spring Fling private shopping event; it's one of the perks of having the TJX Rewards card, and I have to say, it's a good one!

It was awesome having the whole store to myself (now I know how celebrities feel!), and it was definitely worth it to wake up early!  No lines, screaming kids, or people pushing past you; it was about as zen of a shopping trip as you could get.

My goals was to find one or two pieces to add to my spring wardrobe, and I can happily say, mission accomplished!

First, I found the most perfect boat shoes!  White Sperry's; which will look uh-mazing when I get a summer tan!  (Similar pair here)
Then I found the blush-colored BCBGeneration leather jacket that I've had my eye on (for forever!), and today I finally scooped it up!  I can't wait to style it, especially with my white eyelet dress from Old Navy (see this post for dress link!).

I'm obsessed with the blush and perforated details of this jacket.  It's totally feminine, edgy, cool, girly, etc, all wrapped into one perfect (faux) leather jacket!

The pants were super fun (and look great with this jacket), but I was trying to be good, so I'll be saving them for another shopping day, lol.



Did anyone else go to the TJX Rewards event today?
