Field Jackets + BF Jeans

It's no secret that I love my boyfriend jeans; dressing them up or down (or in between, with a little street style action!), to fit whatever style mood I'm in (like when I'm feeling preppy AND a little 90s grunge), I basically live in my BF jeans a majority of the time.  But sometimes you need to add a little something extra to fit the season and shake things up a bit.

Enter my new J. Crew field jacket (it comes in three colors and their having a sale!!).

I seriously am in love guys.  It's a classic piece, nice and light weight for spring, but can easily be layered over a sweater and scarf in the colder seasons!  It's a win-win!

And just like my boyfriend jeans, this jacket is super versatile!  It's a classic shape, and olive is a great neutral.  It's great to just throw on and go (my preferred plan of styling), and looks great with a simple white tee and jeans (probably my favorite outfit combo).

I feel ready for globe-trotting adventures; how about you?  :)

Taking It Easy + Style Inspo: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Stuck on what to wear for the day (or night)?  My first go to is usual Pinterest (I also have a running list in my phone of outfit ideas that pop into my head!).  I go to one of my fashion boards (I got a few...lol || street style, celeb style, general fashion inspo, for your fancy-shmancy events), and scroll through quick to help me out in the morning.

As I've mentioned before, one of my favorite ways to find an outfit for the day, is to look towards stylish stars for a little inspiration.  It's a nice little accomplishment when you can recreate a celeb's look for a fraction of the cost!

I've recreated a few of my favorite celebs so far: Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Kourtney (here's a second one, cuz she's my favorite Kardashian lol) and Kim Kardashian; it's always a fun challenge!

And today I've channeled the beautiful Rosie Huntington-Whiteley!

I love Rosie's look for a lot of reasons:

1. It's super easy for anyone to recreate because it's completely made up of wardrobe basics: ripped jeans, a comfy striped tee, and a good spring jacket (as well as some cute accessories that can be styled with a ton of different outfits!).

2. It's casual and comfy, but not sloppy.

3.  I love ripped jeans and striped tees; and together, I'd wear them every day if I could!

Preppy Grunge and a Little Bit of Sunshine

I love putting my own spin on things; especially when it comes to classic fashion styles.  Today I put a bit of grunge into an otherwise preppy look, and I loved the results!

This was such a fun look for me because not only was it ridiculously comfortable (something I always strive for in all my outfits), but it was the epitome of my personal style: a mix of a few different styles. I don't typically stick to one single look; I like to mix it up. Some days I'm boho, some I'm street style... it's always so different from day to day; it all depends of my mood!

To me, a flannel reminds me of Judd Nelson in The Breakfast Club; it's the epitome and base of grunge style, and seeing as I've accumulated a ton of flannel this winter (I have no idea how it happened...hahaha), it's super easy to just throw one on over virtually anything else in my closet for a little edgy, grunge action.

The wind was sooooo bad, and anyone who saw me was probably LOL'ing as I repeatedly lunged at my tripod to keep it and my phone from nosediving into the sand, or worse...the ocean  #bloggerprobs!

Farmer's Daughter

Let me start off by saying that: 1) I am deathly afraid of owning too much white because I am a wee bit klutzy (as a result, I've never owned any white pants, or too many nice white tops), and 2) I always thought overalls would never look good on my body type (I feel like there aren't too many styles of overalls that flatter a curvy body).

As of last week, when I took a quick peek in GAP on my lunch break, I found both those statements to be untrue, because I found the perfect pair of overalls (they are a wee bit pricey, however, GAP is forever having sales, and I scored mine when they were having 40% off!  And they do have sales like that pretty frequently, so keep an eye out!!) that are super duper flattering for any body type (and best of all?  They're not see through!!).

And so, here I am, happily on the bandwagon! hahaha

My favorite part about these overalls is how flattering they are; they are far from dowdy, and have an awesome silhouette!  I can't even tell you how many compliments I got when I wore them!  Totally made my day.

The crisp, clean lines made me feel tall and lean, so these are most definitely a big ol' A+ in my books; and I can't wait to style them more for spring and even in the summer on cooler days!!

Overalls: GAP || Top: aerie || Booties: Old Navy || Watch: c/o Fossil ||
Sunnies: aerie (similar) || Rope bracelet: Dynamite (similar feel) ||
Hat: aerie (this hat is a perfect substitute for the warm weather!) ||
Bag: Marshalls (this Sole Society beauty is has a similar feel)

And by the way, this pretty, pretty blue aerie off the shoulder top is the PERFECT top to style with these overalls!  In fact, when I bought these overalls, this top was the first top that came to my mind when I was thinking about what to pair it with!

Are you on the overall bandwagon yet?  :)

Totes My Spirit Animal

Pic from Buzzfeed, make sure to out the rest, they're hilarious!

LOL...with that being said, Kourt K is hands down my fave Kardashian; my spirit animal if you will. And as I've said before, I love doing dupes of celebrity OOTDs, with pieces from my own closet, and Kourtney Kardashian gives me total OOTD envy; her wardrobe isn't 24/7 outrageous, and a lot of her looks are easily duped because of that.  Recently I went on a pinning spree (follow me @classicallycait!)...as I always do...and I came across this Kardashian look:

pic from OutfitID

I was super excited, because right away I knew this was a look I could re-make because I had all the pieces in my closet already!  Even better?  It's easily remade on a broke girl budget! #highfives

Shirt: aerie || Leather Jacket: H&M (similar) || Jeggings: American Eagle || 

Sneakers: Puma (similar) || Tote: aerie || 

Sunnies: Wish app || Belt: Forever21 || Watch: c/o Fossil

The best part of this outfit is that it's a big impact made up of several basics...aka, pieces that you can re-wear in hundreds of different combos with other pieces in your wardrobe.

For example, every girl needs a good leather jacket.  You can wear it whenever, it goes with everything, and it instantly gives your outfit a wow factor without having to try hard.

Black jeggings/skinny jeans/leggings, every girl has at least one pair in her closet (if not five or six! lol). 

Once you break down your fave celeb's look into all the different pieces, it's easy to recreate it as your own and start with pieces that you already own before you start draining the bank trying to copy it piece for piece!

Anyone else on the Kourt K bandwagon?  :)
