Huge thanks to my sister for forcing me to buy these leggings. I'm really not a huge leggings person. I'd

 much rather wear a pair of pants or trousers or even a pair of lounge pants, but these are the exception. 

Love the fringe on the sides and their velvety material. 

Doubled up the laziness with this huge Gap sweater, In my opinion you can never have enough gigantic

 oversized sweaters.

Is it just me or does this dress make you dizzy? Every time I look at it it sort of hypnotizes me. I always

 like to wear an over sized button up or sweater over a body con dress. It just seems to balance it out. I've

 recently been trying to get some use out of my other bags, like this vintage Dooney and Bourke. I've 

been lugging around my Alexander Wang Rocco bag ever since I got it. I love the texture of the leather

on this bag, that's always a detail I pay attention to. The pebbled texture on the Rocco is my favorite

 feature. Check the background of these pictures, while we were shooting there was a mommy and baby

 deer hanging around.

Boyfriend Knit Cardigan

There are so many different types and styles of cardigans, also with different designs. But my all time favorite is the Boyfriend Cardigan. They're my favorite because they can just go with anything. Although the ones with beading and design on them are pretty, I tend to stick with the pain solid color because they're so easy to wear with anything and they're perfect for finishing off any outfit. The Boyfriend Cardigan is also very convenient. It's the perfect thing to resource to to wear over a dress or even jeans and a shirt. 

The cardigan above is my favorite one that I have. I bought it at Club Monaco while interning with them over the summer. It's so comfortable and easy to wear with any outfit. 

This is another one of my favorites, from Paul Smith Jeans, that I recently bought in Philadelphia. Everyone needs a black cardigan at one point or another. 

This isn't the boyfriend cardigan style, but I thought that I'd share this with you. i recently purchased this sweater online from Gaiam. This sweater is made from organic cotton and with 100% all natural materials. Not only do I love the organic, all natural part, but it's such a unique sweater. Theres countless ways to wrap it and its perfect to make a boring plain outfit exciting. 

ESSENTIAL #1

Black Opaque Tights

Black tights are something that ever girl should have. They're extremely comfortable and extremely chic at the same time. They can also expand your wardrobe. Tights let you wear dresses, skirts, and shorts in the winter and fall without freezing to death or showing ashy, pale legs off. If a dress or skirt is questionably too short, tights are a great way to make it appropriate. I love wearing black tights with my distressed Levi shorts or with over sized (usually my dad's) sweaters or shirts. My favorite black tights are by Gap, they make the most comfortable ones. I also like Wolford, but they tend to be around $40 -$80 per pair which is a splurge but most definitely worth it.
