While it is super exciting to finally begin to shoot more “Spring-appropriate” pieces, the current temperatures on the East Coast are still a little brisk at times. In all honestly, I was fully prepared to shoot this look without the outer layer but on second thought, and with a co-sign from my photographer, I realized that the coat actually added another element of dimension and interest to the outfit. I haven’t dabbled much into the print-mixing trend but this last minute change allowed me to do just that! I found that it is much easier to mix prints when they have a common base color; in this instance, black. In my opinion, the plaid against the floral print perfectly represented the seasonal transitions. Both prints were also neutral enough to allow me to incorporate yet another trend which is the pop of yellow. Aside from this cross-body bag bringing out the yellow stripe in the plaid print, the gold hardware also matched that of my coat as well. I absolutely love how this look came together and how each piece complimented something in the other. I’ve had these completely bleached cream colored jeans for a few years now and I still find endless new ways to incorporate them into my wardrobe, especially as we approach the warmer months. There’s something about the color that adds a unique quality to any outfit and definitely emphasized the flowers on my top more than I think a regular pair of blue jeans would have. To finish off the look I kept it minimal with my favorite (and only) pair of black mules. I’m going to step out on limb and say that this look might actually be a new favorite, but let me know what you think in the comments below. Until next time!

Though I haven’t been to many sample sales, I felt as though I hit the jackpot with this one! On this particular Sunday during New York fashion week, I started my day hitting up the Hugo Boss sample sale with my dad for some father/daughter bonding time. As we entered into the building and walked up the stairs into the giant warehouse I was amazed at the endless rows of racks full of clothes and the tables stocked with designer shoes that literally made my heart melt. I made my rounds and quickly developed a personal haul in my arms when I turned around and saw a young woman trying on the most AMAZING COAT!  I immediately ditched my pile and ran to the racks to find my size. When I tried it on I fell in love. This beautiful military style wool coat was everything I needed for the winter. It was constructed with the softest wool I have ever felt and it’s asymmetrical plaid pattern and gold buckles kept it unique and eye-catching without being too gaudy and over the top. Needless to say, I had to have it and the rest is history!
