denim – The Sol Compass

Dressed Up Denim

Hey everyone, welcome back! These high waisted jeans have been my new go-to’s over the past month or so. The first time I wore them I was with my mom and my sister, and both of them asked me to send them the link since they liked them so much! Another one of my favorite cold weather pieces is this tissue turtleneck from J.Crew. I love how thin and fitted it is, making it the perfect piece to tuck into jeans or a skirt!

Thank you so much for reading! Have a wonderful week!

How the West Was Won

Happy Hump Day guys! While most of my looks are heavily based in my New England roots, every once in a while I find inspiration from travels, movies, pop culture, and more sneaking their way through. A combination of planning a trip to Texas and watching the Magnificent Seven resulted in this ensemble with my all time favorite denim jacket and two of my favorite fall pieces-the bandana and the felt hat. I have to tell you, I definitely don’t hate it.

Fall Must Haves

On days when my creative energy just isn’t there, I always reach for the same staples. This fall, they’ve been an oversized scarf and glasses paired with my favorite peep-toe booties and folder clutch. Throw these three items in and they can elevate even the simplest of outfits to the next level year round. My other go-to styling trick is usually a graphic tee layered under a denim or leather jacket. I can remember my mom teaching me about layering when I was eight years old, and the same trick still applies sixteen years later- layers make any outfit look better.

Thanks for stopping by!

Eye of the Tiger

Items that need to be in your closet right now: a) a denim vest to throw on over everything, b) a simple white tee to throw on under everything, c) a pleated skirt that goes with everything, d) a pair of leopard print flats to add a little extra pop to every outfit, e) a reversible, vegan leather tote bag to carry around all your stuff in two separate ways, and f) a pair of outrageous sunglasses that just make you feel like a boss.

Thanks for reading, and have a great weekend!

Red Stripes

At long last, Memorial Day is right around the corner! Aside from all of the obvious reasons I love summer (pool parties, beach trips, and general nice weather), the constant excuse to wear Red, White, and Blue is definitely one my favorites. This adorable Milly for DesigNation dress is the perfect piece for a casual party this weekend. Just add some of your favorite American accessories and you are barbecue ready!

Americana

I can’t get enough of anything American (Fourth of July is my favorite holiday, and I come from a pretty patriotic family) and fashion trends are no exception. Red and blue is one of my favorite color combinations to wear, and I love when I find winter-approved ways to incorporate it into my wardrobe. Plus, what’s more American than stripes and denim?!

Confession: I had been on the hunt for a red leather jacket since season one of Once Upon A Time (aka over three years ago!) when Emma debuted her signature look. I was beyond ecstatic when I found this one at Ann Taylor- the moto and burgundy combination was the perfect fit for what I didn’t even know I was looking for!
