little black dress – The Sol Compass

Contrast Colors

Happy Hump Day everyone! I have always loved the combination of blue and black, as seen here and here, but the light shade of this suede jacket has even more of a pop against black.

Thanks for reading – have a great day!

Happy Friday my loves! We all know the LBD is the ultimate closet necessity, but I’m going to take it one step further and say you could definitely benefit from having more than one (just hear me out). I have a fitted scuba dress that I LOVE (seen here and here, similar here), but sometimes it seems a little forced for more laid back activities. Enter the fit and flare. Perfect for anything from shopping to brunch, this little eyelet number will make your casual events this summer an absolute breeze with a pair of fun shoes, denim jacket, and aviators!

Edgy Valentine’s Day Look

Happy Friday everyone! Today I’m sharing a little Valentine’s Day inspired look that isn’t anchored in the overly sweet pink and purple combo. If you want to celebrate looking mildly festive, a sleek black look with a pop of burgundy is a great way to tone it down. I love this post Who What Wear shared about trying burgundy out for Valentine’s Day – I love mine and think Valentine’s Day is a great occasion to break it back out!

Outfit Details – Dress: Milly (old, identical one here) | Leather Jacket: Ann Taylor (old, similar here) | Booties: Coach (old, similar here) | Bag: French Connection | Earrings: Treasure&Bond (sold out, similar here) | Lips: Nars ‘Cruising’, Buxom Full-On Lip Polish ‘Brooke’

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you all have a fun weekend!

Weekend LBD

This Milly for Kohl’s dress is definitely my number one sidekick. It just proves to me that the LBD cliches are totally true. I’ve thrown on this dress for so many occasions I can hardly keep track of them. A best friend’s birthday. A wedding date where I don’t even know the bride and groom. An office trip. The list keeps going. And last weekend, I pulled it out again for a stylish shopping trip with my mom.

Madewell is one of my favorite accessories stops in the mall. As someone who usually gravitates towards preppy, classic, and professional styles, Madewell is the perfect stop to spice some of my looks up while still feeling totally comfortable in my style. I bought this scarf in olive green in the fall and wore it nonstop over the colder months. When I saw its cayenne colored twin, I knew I just had to have another one on rotation! Add in a fun hat and these awesome Toms wedges and this little black dress suddenly has a totally different vibe to it.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you all have a great week!

Think Pink

It may be the incredible amounts of pink, red, and purple that visually attack us all when we walk into any store this month, but I’ve been finding myself wearing more and more of these colors subconsciously lately (as seen here and here). I love layering blouses underneath dresses for an unexpected pop of color and this ensemble is no exception!
