Distressed Frills

 sweater (French Connection c/o), denim (GAP see similar HERE), heels (Zara see similar ON SALE HERE & HERE ), bag (Clare Vivier  ), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck), watch (Daniel Wellington), shades (Gucci)

So this SWEATER is crazy feminine with it's frills and ruffles which is why she's the perfect match for a pair of Distressed Boyfriends.  All about balance---little bit of girly with a little bit of tomboy.  The frills also make for a perfect Vday outfit--cute and casual while still being somewhat festive.  In the Vday spirit yet?  Make sure to check out last week's POST WITH FRENCH CONNECTION and be sure to enter their Vday Contest for a chance to win a very handsome shopping spree!  

Alright gang, cheers to a wonderful start to your week...we've got a chilly one here in the Bluegrass!  Make it a good one.

So Slouchy

turtleneck (Talbots 40% OFF , 50% off this KNIT, adore this SALE PONCHO), jeans (Gap these sold out but see similar steal HERE and sale splurges HERE & HERE), heels (Kate Spade on SALE), bag (GiGi New York c/o), watch (Daniel Wellington c/o), ring (Anna Beck), shades (Ray Ban)

I could live in this look, except let's sub these Navy Croc Heels with my fave new Leo Ballets, and I'd literally wear this number everyday (which if you saw me last week, I pretty much did).  There's something so effortless about slouchy pieces--little tip is make sure to roll the cuffs and show a little ankle--just a little hint of skin to ensure the look isn't sloppy.  Essentially I'm just wearing a whole heap of navy in this look but the various textures (pom poms, croc, & python) add elements of interest to keep her from looking dull.  

Alright gang, I went ahead and added a few other similar knits and boyfriends below (Cable Poncho & Distressed on SALE)--feel free to shop 'em below.  Y'all enjoy your Tuesday--make it a good one!
