{back to basics}

Forever 21 Necklace // JCrew Factory Purse (on sale!) // Anthropologie Sunglasses //

Tobi Sandals, old (similar, similar, similar)  // Gigglosophy Ring gifted // Michael Kors Bracelet //

Butter London Polish in "Cotton Buds" (on hands)

Today, it's all about the accessories. Sometimes all I have energy for is a simple black tank and a pair of white shorts (my go-to as I'm sure you've noticed)! So to spruce it up I grab the two things every girl should have in her closet: Leopard and turquoise. I don't know why they work so well (okay yes I do, because they're "neutrals" in my book) but they just make me feel complete. It looks like I put so much effort into this outfit but all I did was throw on patterned sandals and a fun (supaaa cheap) necklace!

*Presto! Now you can go out the door to meet friends and look fabulous in a second*

Happy weekend, friends! Thanks for reading :)

Love Always,

Jennifer

It has taken everything in me to not purchase everything on my wish list from this Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Y'all… IT. IS. GOLD.  I've always had a hard time buying stuff for Fall in the Summer time but I can see the point. Especially when all of it is on sale like this! I guess I'm still loving the sunshine (note: NOT the humidity) and sandals, sundresses, rompers and bikinis :)  Those boots though. Come to Mama! Aren't they beautiful? I told my roomies that I was making this list my virtual closet. I just wish I could photoshop myself into that leather theory jacket with some hot over the knee boots (plus that M.A.B. tote for a pop)!

Craving for Fall:

Nude makeup

Gold accessories

Bright blue bags

Detailed pumps

Leather boots

Long Sweaters

Leather-sleeved Coats

Prices go back up on August 4 so make sure to at least grab everything you need want by Sunday!

What's everyone else craving for Fall? Thanks for reading!

Love Always,

Jennifer

{camels for wednesday}

Yep, camels on Wednsday… that's how cliché I am! I just couldn't resist the colors, either!

South Moon Under Scarf, orange in stores (blue) // Victoria's Secret Wedges // Loren Hope Bracelet // Earrings, gift // Dress, old

Pairing it with a simple white dress was a no brainer! Let those colors shine :)

Happy Wednesday!

{stripes + lace}

I'm lucky to be in a slightly more casual office environment… Since I work in the design world we aren't expected to wear suits and closed toed heels everyday. This is my typical go to outfit: comfy heels, pencil skirt, fun flowy top. My typical purse is large enough to carry my heels and lunch in but then will work for any type of work function after hours (oh hello 16 hour day again).

Forever 21 Shirt, not online (similar, similar, love) // Gap Skirt, old (on sale, similar) // Charles David Shoes // Michael Kors Purse // JCrew Bracelet, just sold out (acrylic, jeweled tortoise, acrylic link)

I loved this pairing because of the stripes on the skirt contrasted with the lace in the top. From afar it looks simple (I wear a ton of white with navy normally) but up close it has a lot of detailing going on. If I have a busy skirt or shirt I try to keep my jewelry simple. Unfortunately, this acrylic bracelet just sold out online but I've linked some other great bracelets. I love the look of acrylic jewelry!

Love Always,

Jennifer

Happy Monday!

I had such an amazing (too short!!) weekend with some of my favorite girls from college. I don't think I've ever been with a funnier, smarter, gorgeous group of girls. It brought me right back to the days of formals, date parties, and long Wednesday nights.

This group of my girlfriends comes from different states, backgrounds, and sororities. We grew up together in college bonding over our love of the same fraternity and now bond over our love for each other. Not a day goes by I don't consider myself the luckiest person for being introduced to them. This past weekend was a reminder that even though we haven't had a reunion/get-together in 2 years that friendships like ours never change. Those are always the best friendships... the ones that instantly pick up where they left off as if no time passed in between giant hugs and girly squeals!

It's crazy to think everything that's happened between us and to us. We're grown up, graduated, and planning big things for our future! It's amazing to watch everything grow, especially two girls who are engaged (oh boy am I excited for those weddings)!

This blog is my little part of the interwebs where I share my love of fashion and everything in between… so today I simply wanted to start my friends' day off with lots of love and pass on to y'all how amazing it is to have these friendships! I hope I never go 2 years without staying up late giggling again!! I've made some great friendships through social media and blogging already so thank you everyone for reading and constantly encouraging and supporting me… I send my sincerest gratitude to you and wish I could give everyone a giant squeeze!

Love Always,

Jennifer

 Yep, typical Dreamgirl pyramid…
