cozy layers

happy monday, everyone!

how was your weekend?

if you follow along on instagram, you 

may have seen that i was finally (finally!) able

to move into my new home. i began the

unpacking process, and i have to admit,

i have way too much crap stuff. i could

have sworn i got rid of a ton prior to moving

out, but it seems my purging efforts were

seemingly futile. i foresee a few trips 

to goodwill in my future.

in addition to unpacking, i caught up

on homework, watched a few too many

episodes of law & order (have you seen the

new series?), and babysat one of my favorite

little guys. i also shot new content for

my blog and social media; please stay tuned!

disclosure: jeulia jewelry graciously provided me with the bracelet

i am wearing with today's outfit. as per usual, all opinions are my own!

i have been living out of boxes and bags

for the past two months; although the time

went relatively quickly, i feel relieved to be

in my own space (with access to my clothes). 

a girl needs her clothes and shoes, right?!

i shared a poll on my instagram story

this weekend, but thought i would pose the question 

here as well. are you interested in learning more about

my unpacking and home decor processes?

would you like to see photos of the final look?

as a fashion and lifestyle blogger,

clothes, shoes, and accessories comprise

the majority of my possessions ;)

surely this is no surprise!

sweater and skirt: zara (from the little girls' section!),

clutch: target (similar here), rings: forever 21,

bracelet: c/o jeulia jewelry (exact here),

boots: asos (thrifted via seattle goodwill)

i picked up this skirt and sweater at zara a

few weeks ago and couldn't wait to style them!

a metallic clutch and black ankle boots

offset the flirty (and feminine) skirt. i love mixing trends and 

styles, such as this: 'chic meets edgy.'

to complete my outfit, i chose go-to gold

rings and a bracelet i was gifted by jeulia jewelry.

i was immediately smitten by the clover

(a favorite symbol) and the steel and

leather combination. i am thoroughly impressed

by the quality of this bracelet and appreciate

how easy it is to get on and off my wrist.

you will likely see it again, soon!

it is time to stop procrastinating on homework,

but i will be back later this week with another

outfit. stay warm out there!

xoxo.
