The Classic Plaid

blazer (Talbots c/o 30% OFF), chambray (Talbots c/o 30% OFF), denim (Paige), loafer (Talbots c/o 30% Off--love love THESE BUFFALO LOAFERS), satchel (Talbots c/o 30% OFF), shades (Gucci), necklace (Stella & Dot c/o), watch (Daniel Wellington)

Is there anything more classic than a Plaid Blazer, Loafers, and Denim?  It is hands down one of my favorite fool proof looks--you really can't go wrong with the pairing.  This lovely from Talbots is especially fun because of the red popped collar, don't you think?  Just a friendly reminder to sometimes stick with what you know works when in a clothing rut---they call them classics for a reason!  Alright gang---y'all have an enjoyable evening and make sure to check out this Morning's Post with a fun little roundup of one of my fave handbag designers.  Make it a good one!

Striped Florals

Along with Leopard, I am an avid believer that stripes too are a neutral.  Paired with florals, checks, graphics, other stripes, the pairing possibilities for stripes are endless.  This look is very much my go to as it encompasses many pieces I love...good ole pair of Boyfriends, a button down, Neutral Heels (available at Monkee's of Lexington for us Kentuckians), and a go with everything Striped Tote.  I like to consider this look polished-mom-on-the-go meets lunch-with-the-gals...but truly you could wear her just about anywhere for daytime.  Alright gang, I've gotta scoot--y'all make it a good one!

A Relaxed Valentine

 scarf (Talbots c/o 25% off), shirt (Gap, love these HEART PATCHES), denim (current/elliot), coat (J.Crew ON SALE), sneaks (Vans), bag (Michael Kors), shades (Ray Ban), lips (Sephora Always Red)

Considering my Valentine's Day will consist of a raging soiree with my little ladies and their best gal pals, I'm thinking a casual look such as this will def fit the bill.  This rig would totally work if heading to the movies, casual din, or over to a friend's house to celebrate.   And while this week is the perfect week to sport some hearts on your sleeve, I'm not opposed to doing it year round.  Take a gander at some of my fave heart lovelies below.  Y'all make it a good one & enjoy your week--more Vday looks coming up this week!
