Phoenix Boutique

Went on an impromptu shopping trip a few Saturdays a go and took some dressing-room selfies. You may recall my post about Pavement. From there I stepped over to Phoenix Boutique a high end consignment store in Lawrenceville. 


This top still had the tags, from C/MEO Collective (more options here and the same top over at Poshmark) original price--$150(!) so a huge deal at $30. I didn't get the skirt because I have similar skirts and I don't wear a ton of skirts. This top will probably become a regular player with the upcoming warmer weather. As you can see I kept my hiking sweat pants and sneakers on for these try-ons because I'm classy like that! 


Anthropologie (similar here, here, and here)

Played around with layering this sheer turtleneck under a cropped, boxy top, not really feeling it. This tweedy, fringed piece stayed at the store. 

Look at her in leather! Bit of a struggle to get this off, she also stayed at the store.



Another NWT item from Nordstrom (similar here and here) so sleek, so cool, this could top off just about any office outfit. A chic third piece for sure! 

A great sweater from "Lara Knit" more options here. The elbow patches really make it! And don't think it won't get worn this month, spring is also sweater weather season in my book. 

And something for fun! Not really my style, but cute and maybe if I hadn't found the grey cardigan above, it could have gone home with me. 

The dressing room is a great place to experiment and try-on outside of your usual comfort zone/personal style. I love creating outfits from pieces in the store, but also being mindful of how I can incorporate individual pieces with what I have hanging at home. Highly recommend Phoenix Boutique.

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's  Dallas .  It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show.  Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic!  I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit.  Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here  I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here .  Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set. Here's a referral link to also become an ambassador for discounts ...
