Pop of Leopard

Hi Everyone!

Do you ever have those items that unexpectedly become wardrobe staples?  This coat is one of them.  I never thought that such a loud in your face type of piece would become one of my favorites.  I love that I can throw on a simple outfit and add this as my topper to add immediate style to the most simplistic of looks.  As I type this post, I currently have it on and have it styled another way (with jeans and a simple black tunic…look for that post in the next few weeks).  It is so versatile.  I can't wait to style it again.

What pieces have been that way for you?

Cape

Happy Tuesday!

My love of neutrals continues on today.  I'm so in love with this cape.  It is so cozy and it goes with so much!  I cannot wait to pair it with all white or all black in the near future.  The best part is that it is on sale!  I'm seriously thinking of purchasing it in more colors soon as I've already worn it multiple times in the small amount of time that I've owned it!

I've been remixing my closet a lot lately.  When I do a lot of remixing, certain clothing items bring back memories.  Now, I'm that person that never remembers the date that anything happened, but if you bring up what happened on said event, I can probably tell you exactly what I had on.  Clothes are tied to my memories.  Yes, I know I'm odd.   Anyway, this top is super special to me; I had it on when we got engaged.  Every single time I put this top on, it takes me back to that night at one of our favorite restaurants, followed by a walk on the beach with seals bobbing in the water next to us when Matt asked me to marry him.  It goes without saying that that was one of my favorite nights of all time.  Thus, this top now makes me instantly happy just to put it on and float back into memories of days gone by.
