a good jacket :: essentials

i think another essential thing in your wardrobe is a good jacket.  whether it's a blazer, or just a nice, sturdy jacket; it's so necessary!

i recently found a pink blazer at goodwill.  while at h&m blazers go for $30-$45, i got mine for $4.  it's probably from sometime in the 80's, which is perfect, because that is what is all the rage this season.  i do think that it would be worth tailoring, just to fix a little bit ;) 

a good jacket can add to any outfit.  i live in arizona, where jackets aren't really that necessary, but in most states, you would need a good jacket.  blazers are fun, quirky, and very popular this season.  i also love the green coat that is in picture #4.

so go buy yourself a good coat or blazer!

sweaters :: essentials

we're starting a new collection :: essentials!  it's just a collection of blog posts with items we think are essential to your wardrobe.  well, let's get started!

one of my new favorite things to do has been to wear a collared shirt and throw a sweater over the top (as I did in #2 + #3).  it's been all the rage this season, and it's definitely a great addition to your outfits!  also, (in outfit #1) i wore a sweater over a dress.  i've done that a few other times with other dresses, with tops that don't fit as well.  and sometimes, you want to create a more skirt-like outfit instead of a dress ;) in outfit #4 i paired my famous gray sweater with my floral shorts during the summer for a great hot/cold outfit :)

hope you all enjoyed my little post!  be looking out for much more, and more essential posts!

much love,

emma
