dress | Zara (similar)
belt and necklace | H&M
suede ankle boots | Gap (similar) (I recently bought these though and love them 100x more)

Today I am wearing a t-shirt and jeans - but let’s be fancy in spirit. Have a great weekend!

This coat is basically a bathrobe. I don’t even know what differentiates it from a bathrobe aside from it being in the coat section at Zara.

Speaking of which…this blog is making me realize that an absurd amount of my closet is from Zara. Note to self: branch the F out! Does anyone else have this issue with Zara? It’s getting out of hand.

Anyway have a great weekend…get at dat Vitamin D everyone!

Gold studded chelsea boot, Pixie Market, $159

Looking to replace my black leather low-heel ankle boots and these are tempting me…but $160?! Guhhhhhhhhh. Maybe.

Skull bow clip, Pixie Market, $14

I have this and wear it all the time! The quality is surprising and it’s turned out to be super functional…gets my herr out of my eyes. A+ for ‘tude as well.

Kitten leggings, Pixie Market, $36

Mad about the leather leggings I bought last week that have no kitties on the knees.

High-res

drop-crotch pants | American Apparel (buy here!)
gray tank | American Apparel, in tri-black (buy here!)
leather jacket | Zara
boots | Steve Madden (basically the exact same boots)
hat | Forever 21 (took it off a mannequin…) (super chill leather hat from Free People)

I’m really into trucker/baseball hats these days, and I almost died when I found these pants at AA. They are perfect for all occasions despite what everyone in my life tells me, I highly recommend!!!

When I’m feeling uncreative and just want to be comfy, my trick is to mix as many patterns as possible. Works every time!

My friend kept calling me Doctor Who in this outfit because I wore a long coat over it AKA I highly recommend it.

wool sweater | Madewell (old; haven’t found one like it since!)
faded blue pants | Zara (similar)
shoes | Zara (in stores but not online, close-up here!)
hat | Urban Outfitters (similar)

Nothin’ spesh but some easy go-tos for me when I’m craving a comfy day at the office.
