Hello friends! Happy Tuesday, hope you're all having a wonderful week so far! I have been going non stop it seems. My days have been jam packed, but with exciting stuff that I can't wait to share with you!

One thing I'm so excited to share is my collaboration with Apricot Lane Boutique! I was ecstatic when they asked me to work with them and I can't wait to finally share it all with you! I will be doing a 5 part series on the outfits I created - all with pieces that can be found in their store.

This first outfit is definitely one of my favorites! I saw this tank top and fell in LOVE. I mean, can you blame me though? Tacos & Tequila are two of my favorite things - and on this super cute loose tank, double score. I wanted to jazz it up a bit with this coral blazer. What a great piece! I love not only the color, but the fact that it's a looser fit without all the structure. Definitely makes this piece more versatile. In the spirit of spring, pairing the tank and blazer with these destroyed white skinnies only felt right. (Side note: my skinnies are from Topshop, but they have an identical pair in the store). Topped of with a killer statement necklace, and nude sandals, voila! I like that this outfit can go from dressy to casual simply by removing a blazer. Work to happy hour anyone?

Now for the really good stuff - how YOU score!

If you like anything I post (or just want to check out Apricot Lane Centennial for yourself) let them know Sweet & Sauer sent you and you'll receive 20% off your purchase! Only good at the Apricot Lane Centennial location.

Fur Vest

Vest: Zara (N/A) / Sweater: American Vintage (similar) / Pants: H&M / Shoes: Steve Madden / Sunglasses: Ray-Ban 

Oh, Colorado. Here we go again. Snow. In April. It's not that I'm surprised, I'm really just annoyed. I've moved on from winter. I've set my sites on fun spring outfits. And then it snows. All day. Sweet.

Ok well enough about my feelings on snow. Let's talk about this outfit. This was my favorite go-to outfit this past winter. Partially because of the pants (and I think I've gushed about these babies enough - you get the point), but mainly because of the vest. I was in the market for a grey-ish faux fur vest that didn't look cheap, but wasn't half my rent. I was about to give up hope when I came across this baby. The drawback? It's actually a size too big. But I knew I wasn't going to find a treasure as great as this, so I kept it. Now, I actually love how big it is! It's a little bit dramatic and definitely makes a statement. I say, "Yes please!" Keeping all my colors in the same family keeps the look tasteful, in my opinion. I don't need an oversized faux fur vest to be any more obnoxious than it already is, am I right? Paired with a simple sweater, my favorite pants (have I mentioned they're my favorite?) a good lace-up bootie and boom, we have ourselves an outfit.

Thank you, snow, for giving me a reason to gush about this vest. You may now return to hibernation. Or in other words, #byefelicia.

Boyfriend Jeans & Statement Shoe

                 Jacket: Forever 21 (similar) / Tee: Free People / Jeans: Mavi / Shoes: Vince Camuto (no longer available but I love these, these, and these for this look)

Hi friends! Hope you're all having a good week so far!

I wanted to share this look that I wore last week. For as long as I can remember, I have always been obsessed with the white tee and blue jean combo. It was always my go-to outfit for the first day of school. There's something so classic and simple, yet chic, that has drawn me in.

I love this pair of jeans, but I don't want them to be limited to casual weekend outfits. I decided to pair my favorite white tee with these jeans, tuck in the front to clean the look up a bit, and top it off with a classic boyfriend blazer. Finally, adding a statement shoe like this one really gives a casual, yet put together look that is simple and chic. Bonus: this combo is a perfect option for Friday at the office to take you from work to happy hour! Just change up your lip color and voila! Sometimes I find that the best outfits come from pairing some of the most simple things.

Have a great rest of your week, friends!
