Be Bright

I love starting the week with bright colors! Monday's can be hard, intimidating, scary, and well, Monday.  As a goal of my own, I'm trying to start the weeks off as positive as possible.  It's important to have something to look forward to on any seemingly long and not-so-fun day.  Read below to find out how I look forward to Mondays.  Also, check out this gorgeous (and on sale) pink flutter sleeve dress.  For a more colorful look, I wore it with my ombre dip dye scarf.  Both are pieces I definitely see myself wearing year-round! 

Business Casual + Giveaway

This burgundy wool blend blazer is probably one of my top favorite things in my closet currently.  These pictures don't even don't even compare to how classic and sophisticated it looks in person.  It is the perfect blazer to dress down with some boyfriend jeans or dress up on a day at work with a pencil skirt.

Quilted Leather + Blue Coat

Jacket: Old Navy; Scarf: Sole Society (similar); Quilted Leather Skirt: Banana Republic; Bag: H&M; Booties: Sole Society (also found at Marshall's)

I love a good coat for the fall and winter, especially if it's a unique color like this royal blue one from Old Navy for under $60.  Add a leopard scarf and you can't go wrong.  These suede booties and leopard scarf have been closet staples this fall and I've definitely gotten my use out of them.  I actually found these booties at Marshall's (by Vince Camuto) for a lot less than Sole Society's but they're identical.  Anyways, this weekend has been so relaxing and I'm about to start reading "Not That Kind of Girl" by Lena Dunham.  I've heard good things about it so we'll see. One thing I've been wanting to try and improve upon is making time to read more... It's just so nice and calming!  Do y'all have any good book recommendations?

Have a great Sunday!

XO, Shelby
