{ absolutely adore this look… a.k.a. i could see myself living in it }

my friends were visiting me the other weekend and pointed out something that was pretty obvious about my style taste: i love neutrals & i stick to what works. so when they saw my different shoes, that all had a theme (otk suede boots, ankle strap, simple heeled sandals, and so on) and a similar color story i laughed. it’s true, i’m a creature of habit… i will add something different in every once in a while, but blacks, tans, grays, browns, and whites are kind of my favorite. when the spring rolls around a colored lip or a maybe a colored skirt may make an appearance, but it depends on the day. i think my taste (which is pretty singular, if you can’t tell already) explains my love for the blogger brooklyn blonde. her looks are all right up my alley and she pulls otk boots off like nothing i’ve seen before. if you’re looking for some outfit inspiration, you should head her way!

let’s talk about the fact that two big things are happening right now…

1. i am in d.c. again, my second home, for homecoming weekend. this is my first time going to homecoming as an alum, which is insane. four years ago i never would have imagined myself at this stage in my life. by this stage in my life i mean sitting in a starbucks, working remotely for my job, and being a young professional. but surprise, here i am!

2. fall is here, and we all know what that means… hunkering down, getting comfy, fall food, and fall fashion. it’s time for me to break my jeans, sweaters, flannels, and button downs out. i love the idea of pairing a strappy heel with jeans and a button down/flannel, or throwing on a leather skirt with a sweater, high boots, and knee high socks. fall fashion is also the best because it’s the time of year where i finally start to cool down. no joke, i don’t really get cold, mostly hot, which means that summer can be rough. now that the weather is changing i’m in my element, and while it sounds cliche, it’s the best. as you know by now, i love to follow fashion/lifestyle blogs (surprise, surprise), and some of my favorite fall inspiration comes from sincerely jules and brooklyn blonde. jules has a more free-spirited approach to her style, while helena goes for the classic take on fashion. both bloggers know what they’re doing, and have helped me out (through their sites) many a time.

i think one of the worst feelings (or most stressful) that i’ve encountered in the real world is waking up in the morning and the outfit you thought would look great doesn’t . so i’ve stuck to getting inspiration from some of my favorite bloggers, keeping a lipstick in my bag for a quick fix, and prepping outfits the night before. mind you i work in an environment where you can dress more “stylishly” and suits aren’t the norm… a lot of these looks may not apply to your work life, but they’re still pretty great nonetheless.

the beat goes on

“k.i.s.s.” is a statement that i love… meaning “keep it simple, sweetie”, i think it’s a pretty foolproof method for getting dress and putting on makeup. a pair of jean shorts, a white button down, and sandals are go-to’s in my closet, and the same goes for neutrals like army greens, nudes, whites, and grays, some statement dresses, and shoes. i love shoes, and i can never pass up on a good heel. when it comes to online shopping, i love to browse revolve, shopbop, madewell, forever 21, amazon… basically almost anything to find stuff i love. when it comes to red, pink, berry, or coral lips, my family tends to not be a fan, but you have to march to the beat of your own drum… especially when it comes to lipstick.

i tend to look at a lot of blogs, tumblr, and pinterest in order to get inspired. this may consist of casually browsing through pictures, or falling so in love with an outfit that i tend to do a little bit (or a lot) of online browsing in order to find my own version of dupes. when it comes to outfits that i freak out over, brooklyn blonde has that title. she rocks neutrals like no one else, and has a city girl style that i love. i can only hope that i could look so put together while walking the streets of manhattan, but in reality i know that after a long day at work i will not be looking anywhere near as put together. when you’re getting on the subway after racing through rockefeller center in muggy, humid new york heat you could not be looking any worse. so next time i’m getting ready, i’ll think of some of these outfits and pray i don’t look like a hot mess by the end of the day.

time and time again i have posted about my favorite blogger on here, because her outfits are that good. go to the search bar on this site and look up jules… i promise you that you’ll find one or two (or four) snippets about her. yeah it’s a lot, but it’s because her style is really that good. every outfit looks amazing, but she never looks as if she’s trying too hard. let me tell you, this is impressive… there have been times where i wok on pulling off that whole carefree look, but it takes work. too casual, you’re looking a bit messy, and too put together, you’re trying too hard. she’s mastered this conundrum, and if you don’t agree or haven’t heard of her, these photos should prove it.

there are so many different parts of these outfits that i love, and am tempted to stalk half of these looks on their respective websites. that actually is probably my biggest issue when it comes to following fashion bloggers… i find these outfits and get a small obsession with them, and then i go to the websites of the stores where they were purchased and watch the items like a hawk. basically sit there and wait for them to go sale. so if any of you want to be like me (which i don’t recommend), check out some of these bloggers!
