Denim & Lace

Original

While Mason and I were shooting this look, he said it reminded him of “old” Skirts of Urban. Which I think is kind of cool, considering I’ve had this blog for almost 2 years and I can still retain the same image, but elevate it in a way.

This look is just a bunch of elements I love in one outfit; layers, leather, and a cool boot. I love how I can add new pieces and the same outfit can be carried with me through the years.

I also had to share my new Schutz boots I thrifted for $37! Did I really need another black boot? No, but I couldn’t pass them up, and they can be more of a summer boot instead of just a winter one!

You know those outfits that make you feel like a rock star? Today’s outfit is that outfit that gives me that feeling.

Give me a flare pant and faux-fur jacket and I can conquer the world.

Sleeveless Slate

I’m here finally blogging this sleeveless knit sweater! It’s such a classic piece and it’s a great piece to layer with. I love it layered over a turtleneck and with dress pants for a sleek and sophisticated look, or worn under a blazer with jeans and slip on sneakers for a casual look.

Sleek Swing

I blogged this exact dress, in black, a couple of months ago, and when I found the grey one I had to have it. A classic, and comfy neutral swing dress is always a perfect, easy, go-to dress.

Vintage Pleat

We all get into the “what do I wear now” phase of winter. I wanted to get out of the monotonous “I guess I’ll wear my favorite sweater for the third time this week” routine when getting dressed.

I first bought this wool, pleated dress to go with this vintage floral top for a cool vintage look. But once I had the dress, so much inspiration starting flooding, because there’s so many different ways you can go with this dress. Edgy with a moto jacket and cool tee, classic with a white button down, or the vintage school girl route.

The shape of the dress is so delicate, but the thick wool makes it sturdy for the winter.

A good mix up from the everyday jeans and sweater.
