Open Back Dress

Dress: NXSW c/o  (on sale for $26!) / Shoes: Stuart Weitzman (love these and these!) / Purse: Rebecca Minkoff / Sunnies: Ami Clubwear (back in stock and only $9!) / Lips: MAC 'Myth' + Buxom 'White Russian'

I think it's safe to say that I love easy to throw on statement pieces. There are just too many times when I'm running late or feeling uninspired and just need something quick to throw on but still look cute. This dress totally falls in that category for me. It's simple and easy, and the long sleeves make it perfect for spring weather. Plus with the open back I feel like there's a lot of versatility and different ways you can wear this dress. Apparently the theme of this week is open backs for me, huh? I've always been a sucker for anything that has an open back, though. Spoiler for what I'll be wearing this summer perhaps? We shall see!

In other news - I have been getting SO many questions and compliments about these sunglasses and they're finally back in stock! Great opportunity to snag a pair!

Little Black Dress

Dress: Mink Pink from Whorl Boutique / Necklace: Little Pieces of Hope from Whorl Boutique / Shoes: BCBGeneration

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend! My weekend was good - spent some time with friends & family and just relaxed. Did you do anything fun?

 

Today I'm sharing a little black dress that I found at Whorl boutique. Now you're probably thinking, "Wow Mallory, a black dress, how exciting...not." But I assure you this dress is really cool! It's hard to tell in the photos, but the material of this dress is almost like a french terry fabric (think old school Juicy sweatsuit). Sounds weird, but I actually loved it! It definitely gives this dress a little something different and special and different, and allows for versatility. I went for a dressier look by pairing with heels and jewels, but this dress can absolutely be worn with sneakers or sandals for a more casual look. I also just died over this necklace. Seriously how cool is it?! I am absolutely loving the layered necklaces look right now, so finding a piece that did the legwork for me? Score! 

 

If you haven't picked up on this by now, I love simple pieces with lots of versatility. I like to mix it up with different fabrics or silhouettes, and then get creative with what I pair pieces with. 

 

Hope your week is off to a great start! Until next time..

Army Jacket & Faux Leather Dress

Photo cred: Jathan Campbell

Jacket: Ralph Lauren (last season but similar here) / Dress: H&M (last season but similar here and here <- I LOVE this one & it's on sale!) / Shoes: Sole Society / Sunglasses: Ray-Ban

Ok. So this was a total shop my closet and put the unexpected together type of an outfit. This is one of my FAVORITE jackets of all time and well worth the investment. It's so different and unique and I love the details. From the pins, to the patches and everything in-between. Paired with my Ray Ban sunglasses - total Top Gun vibe and I'm totally ok with it. There's even a hidden hood zipped into the collar. Bonus! I wore this jacket when I was in London this past September and it was so perfect for their cool temperatures. See how I wore it in London below!

The dress I'm wearing I scored on sale from H&M this past fall. Faux leather in the front and back with a jersey material on the sides. SO versatile! It's the perfect LBD that really can be worn a million different ways.

I've posted about these shoes before, but let me tell you again - OBSESSED. The most comfortable booties of all time. The color is so different and unique and adds that extra little oomph to an outfit.

Starting this blog has been such a fun ride so far! And the best part - it's forcing me to shop my closet and get creative. It's amazing what you'll find and what you can put together.

Oh London. You have my heart.
