WHAT I WORE: NYE

I totally forgot to take a picture of my outfit last night...bummer!  I totally loved my outfit too!  Here's the general idea:

I wore a J.Crew sequin tee, Alexa Chung for Madewell leather skirt, Stella and Dot jewelry {earrings, bracelet}, black tights and Tory Burch flats.

It was chilly, so I layered with a leopard scarf and black velvet coat!

My actual scarf {not pictured} and coat no longer available but see similar:  scarf, coat.

What did you wear?  Please share!

Happy 2013 - Sarah

CRAVING: SIMPLE TOTE

These simple, classic totes are everywhere and I am just dying to come up with a reason to buy one!

PINSPIRATION two

This past weekend, M and I went out to dinner with friends and I was just in a mood to dress up more than usual.  I didn't have time {or money} to go shopping for something new so I went to my Pinterest Fashion board for inspiration to wear something old in a new way.

The Inspiration:

Originally pinned from the amazing Bee of Atlantic-Pacific

My version:

I had to include that terribly dark picture because of Maxman; apologies for my drab posture/uneven blazer cuffs, not sure what that's about.

{blazer - Banana Republic 2009, shirt - Gap 2011, skirt - J.Crew 2009, scarf - Banana Republic 2011, tights - Smartwool, boots - Frye}

I loved this look with the LC inspired top knot, but M had a different opinion.  He much prefers a preppy, classic look and asked me why I looked like a Kardashian (which I took as a top notch compliment) and called my hair "the librarian".
