Recent Buys

It's still arctic temps here in Pittsburgh, hence I am still mostly existing in fleece leggings and oversized flannels. In the meantime I've picked up a few keys pieces for warmer, more fashionable days ahead. 

Tunic Tee

I've had my eye on this top from ModCloth for quite some time. Their post-Xmas sale made it such a great deal that I couldn't resist. I can see this doing a lot of work in my wardrobe, being able to layer it over thermal shirts, under cardigans and button-downs, worn with jeans or knit skirts--more on that to come...

Peplum Top

For a bit of pretty I also picked up this printed blouse from the MC. I'm not a huge fan of peplum, but the looser silhouette makes me think the fit will be flattering. Overall it feels simple and fresh, no? 

Merino Blend Skirt

And speaking of skirts, this easy piece from Uniqlo is going to be another great go-to here this winter. Definitely looking to pair it with the olive tunic tee above, as well as some of my statement sweaters. 

Merino Cardi

And speaking of sweaters, I picked up a deep red cardi which I also see working with the skirt, as well as black, navy, and grey work trousers. 

Jersey Knit Shift

And because a girl can always use more shift dresses in winter, I utilized some coupons codes for this knit number from eShakti. I customized it with longer sleeves and a V-neck which is a more flattering neckline for a busty gal like myself. You may recall my other two shifts from eShakti here and here. FYI, I'm still not sure how to pronounce this brand name... "E-shack-tee" or is it "E-shock-tye" any ideas?
