Zip It Up!

A lot of times what really makes a statement in a piece of clothing is the details. Details are KEY in these zipper pants!

They're trendy and still a classic cut with a great shape. White jeans are a staple in every girl's wardrobe (or they should be) and these white jeans with the zipper are just the BEST.

Believe it or not, these jeans get even better! I love a good swiss dot pattern and these pants feature a sweet white swiss dot on the cool blue denim!

The best part about these pants is their length. They work on all body shapes. I wear them as longer capris, but on other girls that I work with, they're funky ankle pants. There's no wrong way to wear these fun jeans!

I first saw them on one of the Lilly dream team job gals and was determined to find out where they were from. I was delighted to see (and surprised) that they were Lilly in the end! I am SO excited to wear my pair out finally! I realized that I have so many more options to wear with the blue pants than I had ever expected. Don't you just love when that happens?

Here's to spring weather and white pants season!

The Faux Fur Vest

I took the plunge (albeit late) and bought a faux fur vest. I saw the one I wanted in a store in our mall called "XSRE". There isn't much about it online, but it JUST opened up in the mall. It's primarily all accessories (get the name? Admittedly it took us awhile...) with a few clothing type items but almost all forever21 caliber baubles. 

This Club Monaco version is the closest match I could find to mine, but mine's darker brown. I was feeling inspired after my friend Alli had visited me and worn her knockout one. After that I was hooked. I was on the hunt! I finally found mine and it's VERY loose fitting, one-size-fits-all type deal but I really like it. It's a little late in the season to be starting to wear it, but I'm looking forward to trying it at least through January. Here's hoping (but not really) that there are still a few cold days in there!

What do y'all think of this fur vest trend? How do you wear your vests?

Outfit of the Day: Preppy Profesh: Pink Blazer

Y'all know how much I love my pink blazer! It's rare when I buy a really TRENDY clothing item, but when I saw this I couldn't pass it up. My mom actually got it for me for Christmas and I LOVE it! I wore it to my first day of school last semester after my birthday and have worn it a few times since then--I don't want to over wear it, but I tried it over a professional dress and it worked great!

I was doing an interview on campus for a position within our Dance Marathon at USC. I think I was probably over-dressed by the time that I got to the interview, but I felt so much confidence in this outfit.

I paired my pink blazer with my Lilly Pulitzer Collins dress that I got at the warehouse sale! The print is among my favorites and the cut is great because it's both conservative for work, but still lovably Lilly!

I paired it with these gold basket weave wedges that are super comfortable and appropriate. The metallic is too fun as well!

Do you usually wear dresses or suits for interviews? Have you interviewed for anything recently?

On Trend: Colored Jeans

I didn't totally understand the colored jeans trend. I wasn't sure why people were flipping out over it and I just let it fall by the wayside. That all changed Monday!

I went to Target (shocker!) and tried on a few things and didn't really find much during that trip, but I did find these AMAZING colored jeans! I bought the Pale Ruby shade, and know what the best part is? They're ONLY $24.99!

My second favorite color was the mint green which is very trendy too! The other two colors on the rack were red which was a little too bright for me and a teal-y blue that I knew I didn't have anything that matched. These two pale colors were definitely worth a trip to check if your Target has a pair!

I wore my new pink jeans while I was traveling yesterday with a white polo and navy blue cable knit sweater. I LOVED the look and will have to post a photo next time I wear them!

I definitely recommend running out to your Target to see if they're available!
