modern budget. six.

Are you scared of harem pants?  I was too, until I found this pair.  Yes, I get it, they are basically hammer pants, but I swear these are so comfy and still have style.  You'll want to wear them every.single.day!  And you know what, at that price (under $20), it's fine if you only wear them a few times then donate them to someone who might love their MC hammer style more then you.  Come on, give the harem pant a chance.  Oh and did you notice which top I wore with said pants?!?  The one I told you I can't stop wearing.  I wasn't kidding.  Happy Friday!

seeing double.

I have a confession to make, I have purchased two of the very same item of clothing.  Ekkkkk!  It's a very rare occurrence, but I have found a few dresses that I fell in love with and decided I needed the exact same one in a different color.  I already own this lovely in blush, but I'm kind of thinking I might need to invest in tea or mint too.  And I know that they call this a "slip dress", but it's definitely more of a tunic on me.  I love love love it!

the office.

I'm helping my husband redesign his office.  It's been a bit of a challenge for me, as I haven't ever really styled or designed a room that is full on masculine.  ha!  We've been workng well together on picking out pieces that are masculine, timeless, traditional, and modern.  My husband and I tend to gravitate towards anything that is ultra modern, but we've also been careful to not go too minimalist in his office.  We are also only buying pieces that we would one day also use in our home.  I don't believe in buying pieces that can't easily be transitioned into another space.  I feel like each piece we are purchasing is an investment.  Not all of the items are super pricey, but they will definitely be sticking around for awhile, so I want them to work in his office or at our home if I feel like changing things up a bit.  So here is the inspiration board we came up with.  We're keeping the palette mostly black and white, adding in wood, leather and metal elements to create some texture.  I'm really excited about this project and can't wait to see if all come together.

constant rotation.

Do you have a few key pieces in your closet that you seem to gravitate towards every day?  I certainly do.  I haven't been able to put this clutch down since snatching it up.  And I've paired this faux leather top with skirts, pants, and shorts.  I'm seldom drawn to black in my wardrobe, but this piece is changing my mind.

details.

It's all in the details and these two dresses are no exception.  The pretty black lace and the delicate beading on these two beauties are helping me get through this manic Monday.
