Madewell button down, Alexander Wang bag, GAP studded belt

I like pieces that I can wear over and over and over again and that pair easily with everything else in my wardrobe. There is really no need to have a ton of clothing if everything sort of goes. And anyway, who has the closet space? At this juncture in my life AKA the “not-rich-yet-but-still-need-to-look-good-juncture” I really think carefully about every piece that I bring to the party and I only want things that make me look and feel great. Lately I’m really into wearing button downs with cut offs and some simple ballet flats or oxfords. If I also happen to be drinking a cappuccino and squint my eyes into the sun long enough I can sort of pretend I’m in Paris. This belt has also been an awesome and cheap addition to my wardrobe. It looks great with black skinny jeans too. I’ll post a picture of that lil combo soon.

 Also, I have a confession to make, after publicly lambasting the trench coat about a year ago, guess what, I want one. Correction, I desperately need one and I’m on a serious manhunt for it right now. I blame my change of heart on the June Gloom here but who knows, maybe someone’s all growns-up after all. I’m also going to finally add the essential “white button down” to my arsenal. Thinking of buying this one right hurrr. I don’t have an Equipment blouse yet and I’m beginning to feel like the only blogger in the free world who doesn’t.
My little sister comes for a visit this weekend. It’s closing weekend of her play that I am staring in here in LA. Maybe I’ll try to style us both and do another sisters post. xx, A
