Dinner Date

I wore this out to dinner just about a month ago now. This last month just FLEW by. Boyfriend and I had dinner in the South End after we'd signed our lease. Now we've been moved in for almost a month!

I seriously love this outfit. I feel like this is the kind of look I'm constantly striving for. Simple and chic with a bit of bling. Boyfriend was making fun of me because while I was deciding what to wear I had my "outfit inspiration" file open and was blatantly copying different outfits I have saved, haha. I KNOW I'm not the only one that does this, so don't judge! ;)

Also, these are the most comfortable heels I own currently. I hardly ever have good luck with Aldo shoes, but these are keepers. The heel is perfect, the shape is perfect, and they're easy to walk in. Boyfriend even thought they were sexy. Definite all-star shoe.

Sweater: H&M
Necklace: Forever 21
Jeans: American Eagle

Me Factor: High - nailed it!

Black & Red Week: No... & Red Wedges

Wore this out for shopping and dinner with my new pal Gabby last week! We had such a great time, and I'm so happy to have a new girlfriend in the area. Best of all, I'm moving to the town she lives in, so it's going to be so easy for us to hang out and have girl's nights! Can't wait.

This is SUCH a me outfit. Blazer + skinny jeans + heels is my favorite look ever. The red shoes and watch added the bits of red to this outfit. I wanted to make sure I had a look in the mix that wasn't such an extreme interpretation of black and red.


Blazer: Limited
Jeans: Old Navy
Tee: StyleMint
Shoes: Urban Outfitters
Watch: Gift
Me Factor: High

Black & Red Week: Pants & Plaid

As I'm sure you've noticed by now, my special plan for this week is a theme! I decided last week that I would base all my outfits around a black and red color scheme. It's a pairing I go to a lot, so I thought it would be fun to try wearing black and red in some combination every day for a week.

I could have kept going a lot longer, if truth be told.

This was a lot of fun and I want to do more "theme weeks" like this in the future! It's also a great way to focus on wearing everything you have in your closet and finding new ways to pair things.

I've also been thinking a lot about personal style lately, and what my personal style actually is. I love trying different looks and trends, but certain outfits just feel more ME than others. So, at the bottom of my posts along with my outfit info, I'll now be including the "Me Factor" of each outfit. I'm hoping this will help give me a clear vision of what my personal style really is.

Shirt: J.Crew
Pants: Urban Outfitters
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell
Necklace: Forever 21
Me Factor: High - I'm a jeans and a shirt type of gal. I feel most comfortable in this kind of look.
