Cozy Up in Chunky Knits - Buy It Off My Back

Hey guys, since returning home I have been taking long hard looks at my wardrobe and trying to assess what's really necessary.  Although it is my job as a personal stylist to do wardrobe detoxes with my clients, I have come to realize that I need to do one on myself.  While in London, I lived on about an 8th of my wardrobe.  Everything was limited and minimal, and I was just fine.  So now I am forced to look at all of my items that I didn't take, and consider ridding myself of them because I was just fine without them.

This lovely knit dress was an item that was left behind.  And although it was preloved and I enjoyed styling it and wearing during chilly months...I managed to live for a long time.  Here I styled my blue sweater dress with a chunky knit sweater, and my go to pair of Zara mules.  Chic, right??  There are countless ways to wear this dress because it is so simple and versatile.  This dress is a wardrobe staple.  It would give a completely different look if you wore it would a fun pair of sneakers and a nice, bright bomber jacket, or make it more professional by adding a blazer and heels.

Mad Hatter - Brooklyn Hat Company

Hey guys, today I woke up and there was a bit of a crispness in the air!!! That was exciting because I started to think how this time of year is just perfect for taking your autumnal pieces out for a spin, as well as start buying the staples that will further shape your A/W wardrobe this season.

I started with my beautiful new brim from Brooklyn Hat Company.   The classic style of this hat pairs perfectly with my personal style especially since I tend to go for vintage inspired items.   I opted for the hat in black because (duh), but another drawing factor towards this hat was the unique feather detail.  It's super cute.

Another great quality of this hat is that although it's felt wool, it has a satin lining that works so well with my naturally coily, kinky hair.  Wool, and different synthetic materials tend to dry out my hair, but this hat is perfect.
