In With The Classic

It's that time of year for some major spring cleaning, and "out with the old" as the saying goes. For any items that are "in with the new", I plan on really thinking about a purchase before I add anything new to my closet, and going for the more classic pieces that will last and are worth the price. Theory makes some of the best classic, investment-worthy clothes, and below are a few favorites that I would love to add to my closet {all items via Theory}:

January Inspiration

Happy January! I always feel emotionally torn this month because I definitely feel depressed once Christmas is over, but it is kind of nice to get back to a more normal routine. My personal philosophy about January is it should be filled with half of the time doing fun things {like drinking..} while wearing bright, fun colors {and new Christmas presents!} to feel a little less depressed, and the other half should be spent snuggling at home in warm knits, a good candle, and Netflix. And maybe you could throw in a detox day or two. Here is my January inspiration:

Thanksgiving Style: Look 1

Happy Thanksgiving week! I am SO excited for the holiday, and have been planning on what to wear. I usually lean towards a more dressed-up look for any holiday, but below is an idea for a more casual outfit {one that will allow for multiple servings of mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie}:

Turtleneck

I love that turtlenecks can be seen everywhere for fall fashion this year! It makes me very excited for the coming months, and wearing them around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Below is how I would style a turtleneck this season: with a couple of brooches, berry-hued lips and boots, and a great pair of jeans.

I love fall coats, especially ones that come in fun colors and prints. I've had my eye on this Zara coat for a while now, and I've thought about purchasing it multiple times; this is how I would style it if it were in my closet {if only I had that Dannijo necklace, too!}
