This weekend was another working weekend. This meant almost no time for blogging and haircare. Solution - this adorable floppy felt fedora. I love the pop of color that it adds to an outfit.

Stop by Posh & Poised today for a closer look into my recent career change and how it's influenced my style. Thank you to the lovely Lindsey for choosing me!

Cozy Knits

Sweater:  Free People, Jeans:  Gap, Shoes:  Classiques Entier (old, similar here, and here for under $30!!), Bag:  Free People ~ part of THIS fabulous set!, Sunnies:  Ray-Ban

Good thing I finally finished the summer/winter wardrobe changeover this weekend because I have been living in cozy knits for the better half of the week. It's getting chilly up in NJ!

Enough babbling. The winner of my fall fashion giveaway is...

Leopard Coat

Coat:  BB Dakota via Urban Outfitters, Sweater:  H&M (old, similar here), Jeans:  H&M (old, similar here), Shoes:  Valentino, Bag:  Rebecca Minkoff

I was on the fence about this coat when I first bought it, but after wearing it for the past few days, I know keeping it was the right choice. It goes with everything and takes a simple ensemble to the next level.

Happy Hump Day!

ONLY A FEW HOURS LEFT TO ENTER MY FALL FASHION GIVEAWAY {HERE} ~ DON'T MISS OUT!

Peplum Perfection

Top:  J.Crew, Skirt:  J.Crew (old, very similar here), Shoes:  Christian Louboutin, Bag:  Target

I always think that too much of a good thing is just the opposite ~ not a good thing. I never buy two of the same item, and I try to limit my trendy purchases. Last year I purchased two peplum tops - one in black with a short sleeve {seen here} and a sleeveless version in cream {seen here}. 

After that I vowed that I had filled my peplum quota...

...until J.Crew came out with this little ponte number and I just couldn't resist. I love the fit and especially the sleeve length. I broke my rule but I'm sure I will be wearing the heck out of this top!

And don't forget, there is still time to enter my fall fashion giveaway {HERE}!

Clouds

Top:  Free People, Pants:  AG Jeans, Shoes:  Classiques Entier (old, similar here), Bag:  Free People, Sunnies:  Ray-Ban, Nails:  OPI "In the Cable Car Pool Lane"

Along with my recent career change, came a wardrobe change particularly in the area of footwear. When I was working in a school, I didn't feel the need to wear heels every day. Even when I did wear heels, I would usually switch them out for flats after an hour or so.

Now that I'm in an office environment, I wear heels pretty much every day. I do try to keep a pair of flip-flops in my car at all times in case I need to go somewhere that is not heel-friendly {like the grocery store} after work. But what will I do when it's no longer sandal weather?

Enter Clouds. When Fit in Clouds approached me to review their flats, i was over the moon. Portable ballet flats that fold and fit in a small pouch that you can throw in your bag?!? SOLD! 

Get your own pair HERE.
