Hot & Cold

Tuesday, March 19, 2013




The weather has been (literally) very hot and cold lately, and frankly, it's got me running in circles every morning trying to decide how to layer myself for the day.

[blazer: Lauren Conrad for Khols, T-shirt: Ann Taylor, jeans: Pacific Sunwear, booties: Style & Co., scarf: Madewell, earrings: The Loft, necklace: Tiffany & Co., watch: Fossil, bangles: Alex & Ani, aviators: Nordstrom b.p.]

It's that lovely time of year again when it's 30 degrees in the morning while you're walking to class or on your way to work, but then by the time lunchtime rolls around, the sun is shining and you find yourself working up a sweat! You just can't win against the weather these days. Oh! And let's not forget the rain - it's literally rained every single Tuesday here for at least the past month. 

Moral of the story: the weather is unpredictable and a little bit insane. That's why jeans along with a few layers (i.e. my blazer and scarf) are always safe bets! By the end of the day you may just be down to a plain white tee and jeans, but hey, that's the ugliness of the weather and the beauty of layers!

    I think you really know how to perfectly layer for the unpredictable weather! I adore your distressed jeans and blazer and your scarf is the best accessory (you really always have the most amazing accessories!) Have a wonderful week sweetie!

    You look so pretty. Great job on the laying, the bright scarf is such a great touch! Loving the ripped jeans too, you pull them off so well. I'd love to try out some 'boyfriend jeans' but I don't think they would suit me as much! xx
