Polka Dot Sweater Layering

Layering button downs with a sweater is my favorite (as seen here)! It's a fun way to brighten up winter-wear. When I got this polka dot sweater in the mail I swooned. It's beautiful by itself and is super fun when layered with other colors/patterns. I layered it with a chambray button down and added a necklace for an extra pop! It was a little chilly so I grabbed my vest, but it would look great without a vest as well. Outfit details are below :)

Paige Skyline Jeans

 Recently, I was on the hunt for the perfect dark-wash jean. I wanted something sophisticated yet comfy and professional yet fashionable. I searched everywhere (seriously! it was starting to drive me nuts). I finally stopped looking online and just went to Nordstroms, and luckily I had an amazing saleswoman who found these beauties. I LOVE these Paige Skyline jeans. I am not a jeans kind of gal but now I want to wear these every day. They are SO stinking soft that they feel like leggings but they are classy and sophisticated and flattering in all the right places. Just trying them on, I could tell that they are super well-made. Lucky for you, they are currently on S-A-L-E for 35% off (plus free shipping!). Get them here! You can also check out the whole Paige line.

Work It Out: Cute Workout Clothes!

Working out is one of my biggest stress relievers! I love running, hiking, doing the elliptical or cycle machine, or taking a cardio dance class. Sometimes it's hard to get the mental motivation to get off the couch and into the car to go the gym. Once I'm on my way, it's a piece of cake  and I'm always so happy that I took the time to work out that day. As Elle Woods says "Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands, they just don't."

One thing that definitely helps motivate me to get off the couch is cute and colorful workout clothes. We definitely got the "colorful" part down in the picture above, which was just after we finished The Color Run!! Some workout brands can be super expensive but Aeropostale's (hang with me for just 1 second) work out line, Live Love Dream, has some super cute and affordable pieces. They are also very good quality, I've had some of their pieces for a few years and they're still going strong. I linked a few current favs below!

"Live Love Run" tank

Butterfly sports bra

Mesh "There are no limits" shirt

Pink patterned leggings//LEOPARD PRINT leggings!!

Colorful headband

Periwinkle zip sweater

PPS Can you tell I like the color pink?!

Fluted Skirt and Chambray

Whenever I buy clothing and accessories, I look for versatility so that I can wear them in multiple settings to get the most bang for my buck. I bought this skirt at the beginning of the year and have worn it a ton. During the winter, I could wear it with tights and during the summer I've been wearing it a lot with button downs. It's a very put-together and polished look that can be worn at the office or for going out with friends. Some of the pieces are old, but I've linked similar options below!

I love this shirt because it is very light-weight and breathable, so I can wear it during the summer with the sleeves rolled up or during the fall/spring with the sleeves down.

J. Crew Factory chambray shirt (old, similar linked), J. Crew Factory skirt, Charming Charlie necklace (similar here, here, and here), black flats (old, save//splurge), tortoise watch

 P.S. I am obsessed with these Target flats -- I have them in cheetah print and nude and want them in every color. If you look for them in stores, make sure it's the Merona brand. I seriously would buy a lifetime supply because they are the most comfy flats I've ever owned and they are somehow the cheapest too. Talk about a game changer!
