Zara Blanket Scarf

I have learned this lesson too many times to make a mistake now. If you see something at Zara that you love, especially a scarf that you feel may start to gain a small cult-like following, you buy it. You don't question it's price. You just BUY IT. And then, in just a few short weeks, when it's sold out in stores,  you notice that it starts popping up on some of your favorite bloggers , Block 37 add campaigns, and is going for twice its selling price on eBay. Then you remind yourself it was all worth it and you made the right decision.

Fall Layering

Target heels // Nordstrom Rack skirt and sweater // H&M scarf // eBay tassel necklace // Urban Outfitters fedora // NYX "Bloddy Mary" matte lipstick // Gap jean jacket.

The best part of fall is that you can wear a million layers. When building an outfit, you can start with a simple skirt and then who knows where you will end. With an abundance of scarves, light jackets and hats to choose from, it is no doubt my favorite season to dress for.

Speaking of layers, This Gap jacket is probably the most perfect color and fit of any jean jacket I've ever tried. I highly recommend it!

My new neighborhood Nordstrom Rack in South Loop has been amazing with it's clearance section! I found this sweater for $12 bucks and my girlfriend even found a Milly dress for $140! Unheard of!. I also scored this slim midi skirt. It's length offsets the slim silhouette and makes it feel more appropriate for me to wear to school.
