I posted an Instagram photo of this outfit a while back and some of my friends were asking about this top. Was it all one shirt? Are the jewels made on the collar? Is that a jacket?

So, I decided to do a full post on the outfit. The top half of this look is actually comprised of a DKNY zip up vest I came across hanging out of place on a store rack. Having a hard time finding what to match it with, I finally chose a distressed long sleeve shirt from Express. Because everything was so simple and monotone, I was okay with the gaudy necklace for the daytime. Thought I’d also use this time to showcase one of my favorite bags also! I got this silver carry on while I was in Hong Kong years ago. It has lasted me through so many trips and days when a purse just wasn’t big enough for everything I needed to carry. Man, I love a loyal piece.

Last week New York finally graced us with a little whisper of spring. It didn’t last long, but I definitely enjoyed what I could. Usually we think of blazers as more formal and stiff, however a favorite blazer in my closet is this casual oversized one from Michael Kors. It is extremely comfortable and can be worn with so many different things. I’ve been wearing neutrals and dark colors for so long now that I pulled out this pink sheer top from Express to help me look a little more spring-like. A touch of wardrobe humor was added with this tote gifted by Celise Designs. Crossing my fingers that more spring looks can be brought to you shortly. Until then…stay warm!

This is a short and simple post for you all, but I wanted to share this outfit comprised of pieces that have all been in my closet for a little while now. I think I just felt like throwing together whatever but in the end found that I really liked this combo. It’s rare that I’m a fan of bold animal prints, which is probably why these shoes have been sitting on the shelf barely touched–no idea what I was thinking when I even bought them. However, I guess the mood was just right that day.
