I’m pretty sure that since I purchased this trench vest last Spring, I’ve worn this vest more times than I could possibly count.  I’m sure it has become annoying to my friends, family, and co-workers, but it’s versatility, comfort, color, and utility (pockets!!!) have made it a true staple of my wardrobe.  Dressed up or dressed down, this vest comes through every time.  How would you style it?

Okay, I have to admit, this cropped sweater is so hard for me to style.  I’m not one to show a bunch of skin, but I love the print of this sweater so I’m constantly trying to figure out how I can style this without the crop being an issue.  Here I paired it with these wine colored pants that I purchased last fall. I think it works, what do you think?

I feel like this outfit is like a mullet-business up top and a party on the bottom.  The cape blazer just polishes up any outfit and who doesn’t love a boyfriend jean? Once again, the Who What Wear collection for Target comes through.

I felt like such a lady in this outfit.  Even though the pleather is a bit hard, the softness of the mock turtleneck, nude heels, and midi length of the skirt just made me feel fancy.  Look for all of these pieces to make appearances again soon!

I fell in love with this jacket the second I saw it.  I swear it looks like something a Golden Girl would wear. It has so much bead work and it’s just amazing!  I cannot wait to style this pretty lady different ways this fall/winter!

Some of my current favorite pieces are in this outfit.  Funnily enough I’ve had all of these pieces for months.  Sometimes shopping your own closet is just as good as going out and purchasing some new things.

When I showed this look to my mom she said it looked like I was ready to get on the back of a motorcycle.  HAHA  While I don’t agree with that, I think that this leather dress is a bit of a departure from my usual style.  I love the faux leather dress in a sweet, professional style.  In fact, I’m loving the faux leather trend in general.  I am thinking I may have this dress shortened a bit so it’s not quite so long–downfall of being short! I think the real MVP of this outfit is the polka dot shirt.  It’s a light weight crew which goes with so much!  A true neutral.

I love a good pattern.  So, when I saw this plaid skirt from the WhoWhatWearxTarget collection was on clearance, I nabbed it as fast as I could.  Problem was everything I wanted to pair it with seemed spring or summer (probably why it was on sale, genius!) but I was determined to figure out how to wear this pencil skirt into the fall/winter.  Enter this great sweatshirt by ASOS.  I love this sweatshirt, it’s the perfect weight for fall even when it feels like summer still.

I think it is safe to say that black is my go to color for dressing.  I found this super comfy sweatshirt from Asos, where they’d call this a jumper, probably.  It’s a bit oversized but not hugely.  I paired it with my black jeans and my trusty Stan Smith Originals.  These Adidas give me a bit of street cred at work since Adidas and Nike seem to be the acceptable brand of tennis shoes for my middle schoolers.

Can’t help but post another view of this look.  I just love how it is crisp and clean.  The only thing I would change is maybe add some nude heels to this look for a more sleek and modern look.  So, plan to see this again sometime soon.
