The White Silk Blouse + Hello Monday Linkup

Hi Friends!
I recently scooped up what I've now deemed the best white blouse ever, so today I'm kicking off a series of 3 ways to wear a white silk blouse.  This blouse is a stretch-silk that's, wait for it, MACHINE WASHABLE.  I'm not a fan of dry cleaning, so this is a big win.  It's not too sheer, has a subtle sheen, and it the perfect longer length for layering.  I also have the style in the black crepe weave.

For the first look, I wanted to put together a look for a date or night out.  I opted for some destructed denim and rolling up the sleeves to take it a little more casual, and what I'd probably consider my sexiest sandals.  I love the barely there silhouette, and they certainly lengthen the legline.

A Little Bit of Everything + Hello Monday Linkup

Happy Monday!
These last couple weeks have been a little hectic, and a lot cold!  So formal blog photo content is a little scarce.  

That being said, I have a few work outfits to share and a few other fun odds'n'ends.

Who wore it best?

I wore this look to work a little while ago, and then posted the 'who wore it best' poll on Instagram, and it wasn't even a competition.   Ha!  Sherlock won by a landslide, as he should've.

Target scarf | A&F sweater | Ann Taylor skirt | Frye boots

Business Casual Work Wear

I also wore this outfit to work a week ago on Thursday.  I had zero meetings, and decided to see if anything bad happened if I wore jeans to the office to literally sit at my desk all day.   Spoiler, nothing happened.  Nobody cared.

Theory blazer | J.Crew Factory cardigan | H&M neckerchief | J.Crew tee | 7 For All Mankind ankle skinny jeans | Jimmy Choo flats

Serious Shoe Decisions

I stumbled upon Margaux shoes looking for the perfect navy flats.  Then I fell in love with the navy suede heels.  I think I may pull the trigger on those this month, and if they're as amazing as I hope, add the ballet flats in cognac or pale pink next month.  What do you think?

New Favorite Lip Combo + Hello Monday Linkup

Hello friends!

A couple weeks ago, I shared a huge Sephora haul on Instagram stories (sidenote- do you guys like that type of content covered on the blog as well?) and a few stand-out favorites have emerged.  Namely, the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer.  It is amazing!  I haven't been big on glittery glosses lately, but after seeing Psyche and Rachelle tag Fenty Beauty over and over on Instagram, I wanted to try something from the line.  After looking through what's available, the crazy good reviews and seemingly universal shade of this gloss won me over, and goodness it didn't disappoint!  

For everyday wear, it's perfect solo, or when I'm getting a little more dolled up, I fill my lips with this liner (in 'Whirl') and then layer on the gloss.  It lasts really well and I love the shade.  Plus I'm convinced the super-shiny finish makes my lips look fuller. Ha!
