September Purchases

I actually stayed below budget this month!! I think that's a first for the entire year so it was about time. haha I got myself some "essentials" and couldn't be happier with them. Well, okay, I haven't had a chance to wear the jacket yet but I love the fit and how lightweight it is.  The flats are crazy comfortable!  I'd been searching for some I could really wear all day without getting blisters and I have to say these are it.

Utility Jackets

Hey look, layers! Woo! I wore this to a brewery and then to watch movies with some girl friends. I just recently bought a new utility jacket which I'm pretty excited about. This one is very old and doesn't fit quite right. I feel like they layer so well and help pull an outfit together. Plus it works in the "rule of 3". Know what I'm talking about?  Adding that third item to any outfit whether it be a jacket, scarf, hat, statement necklace. It really helps an outfit to look more complete! Such a simple but clever trick to keep in mind. Anyway, check out the bottom of the post for some great utility jackets!

Menswear

I didn't intentionally dress like a man on this particular day, it just sort of happened.  And I'm totally okay with that.
