bold blazer

I'm gonna keep this post real short because I worked a 12 hour work day and my brain is pretty much over looking at a computer. I have been loving red and it's especially appropriate during the winter season. I love adding pops of red with accessories, clutches,nail polish or lipstick. For this look I went bold with a bright red blazer and lip color and paired it with black and white accessories. I love this look and the fact that you can wear it on a casual date night or for a night out with the girls. I think this outfit is so versatile because of the blazer, they always keeps things fun yet classy, I love them!

This is a really easy fall look that would be great for a date or a girl's night out! The blazer and heels really dress up this leather trimmed tank. Throw in a bold red lip and you're ready to go!

| Leather Dress: c/o Ivy & Blue Maggy Boutique | Blazer: Bohme | Clutch: Etsy |

| Necklace: c/o Lotus Blossom Design | Ring: c/o Sassy Steals | Heels: Urban OG |

I'm going to make this post short and sweet because it's very late and I'm typing this in the dark next to my sleeping husband. I wore this gorgeous leather dress for our One Year Anniversary date! My husband did all of the planning for our anniversary weekend and he did a fantastic job!! I'll be sharing more about our little getaway later on this week but we spent the night in Park City and it was so relaxing. Oh and isn't this leather dress to die for?! It's from an online boutique, Ivy & Blu Maggy Boutique, they have tons of high quality dresses so definitely make sure you stop and take a look if you need a dress for a special occasion. 

Hope you all have a wonderful Monday! I'll be doing laundry, searching for some Autumn inspired candles, and forcing myself to go to the gym. Also, the winner of the Urban Peach Boutique giveaway is Ashleigh Choi!! Please email me at katelinjstaples@gmail.com in the next 24 hours to redeem your prize!

white out

| blazer: Bohme | tee: Old Navy | jeans: American Eagle |

| purse: Shi | heels: DSW | necklace: Forever 21 | watch: Target |

| pink bracelet: c/o Sira and Mara | spike bracelet: c/o Apple of My Eye Jewelry |

I decided to take a little break from all of my colorful outfits and wear something more basic. I love black and white together and I think it always looks so classic and chic. I found this great white blazer at a boutique in the mall called Bohme and I was so excited because I've been searching for the perfect one. I decided to pair it with a plain white tee, jeans, and some fun accessories. The best part about wearing white is that you can dress it up or down as much as you want. I think this outfit means that I may be ready for fall outfits....just maybe.

Knockoff Karen Walker sunnies found on Amazon
Leopard clutch from Reckless Crush

Yellow Pumps from ASOS

All of these items are pieces I have been searching high and low for. They were the perfect style and the perfect price. Like those yellow pumps. Don't even get me started on those. I have seriously been searching for some cute, affordable yellow heels for what feels like forever. Then, some popped up that were the perfect color with a pointed toe for only $30. Talk about good timing. I snatched those right up!!
