As you might or might not understand, tonight's post is going to be extremely short because I am prepping myself for the Sons of Anarchy finale. Have you been watching?! Let me know what were your favorite parts of the series below! 

Are YOU ready for the #finalride?

You guys know that I pride myself on being a fashion chameleon and I honestly am not afraid to really try anything at least once (well, most things anyway). This is a quick look put together for a day at the office or dinner and drinks with your girlfriends. Whatever the occasion, you're not complete without a chic purse, and mine happened to be this metallic number by Rebecca Minkoff that I found at Nordstrom. Pretty stellar, right?

PRE-SPRING

ON TOP

 I first saw this sweater on the blog, Atlantic-Pacific, and eyeing it ever since. I wore it more casually than what I had originally planned, but sometimes less is more. I don't want this cold season to end; I secretly envy all of you dealing with the snow on the east coast. 

FAUX PAS

I have been obsessing over faux fur vests for years now, and could never seem just the perfect, most hip one at an affordable price- until now. A spontaneous trip to Savers turned out to be a glorious one, when I spotted this BRAND NEW, Vera Wang Princess vest from Kohl's (originally $60, bought at $15!) with the original tags still on. Oh, and it's white and black with green lining. S C O R E. 

DARK DESIRES

 After a harsh day, I am in the process of picking myself again. There are so many things to be thankful for, and I can't always live feeling down. 

This might look like a dress (on me), but it is actually a crop top and skirt combo, pleasantly worn yesterday for an afternoon of frolicking under the winter Arizona skies. I have officially given up on wanting more storms and the possibility of seeing snow in Flagstaff, and in a way can't wait to jump in the pool once again. 

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT

 As ironic as this shirt is, I actually DO care about everything and everyone that surrounds me- to an extent. I'm not one to be confrontational; sometimes it's very hard for me to even get words out. This is why I strongly believe that people dress according to their mood, because even though they might not say it, they show their true feelings by what they wear. Though I am shy and quiet when I first meet anyone new, I try to put together outfits that say more about who I am than I can describe so it can do the talking instead.
