My Favorite Karen Walker Sunglasses

Purse // Jeans // Jacket (cute versions on sale here and here// Top // Sunglasses (free month with code HOTPINKSTYLE)// Booties (old, but similar here)

In case you haven't been able to tell I'm pretty obsessed with these Karen Walker "Sunburst" sunglasses! They are just so cool and make a huge statement with an otherwise casual outfit. They are on loan from Ditto, a monthly designer sunglasses rental site, but instead of keeping them for a month and swapping them for new ones, I've had them for like 6! I can't send them back!

If you would like to start your own weirdly long obsessive relationship with a pair of sunglasses too, use my code HOTPINKSTYLE for a free month!

Casual Poncho

Poncho: Target // Jeans: Zara // Sunglasses: Karen Walker (similar) // Heels: Zara // Hat: Sole Society // Bag: Kate Spade

This poncho was a great Target find. It's perfect for teaching when I want to look stylish but also feel cozy as can be. I wore it a few days ago with a blanket scarf over it for a poncho on poncho look that somehow wasn't overkill! I normally wear it with a plain black long sleeve fitted tee underneath it when it's colder, but lets hope that isn't necessary any longer!

Weekend Casual

Casual is actually a really hard look for me. Since I'm always either dressed up for work or in workout clothes, the in-between always becomes a challenge.

This was one of the few times I was actually proud of my weekend ensemble. Mostly because on a recent trip to Forever 21 I walked out with three very unusual things for me: these causal jeans; a neutral gray sweater; and a black jacket that will appear later this week on the blog. Not a lick of bright color in the lot! 

I added the red lip to give the look a little pop, and off I went on a day of baby shopping (with my best friend, who is due to have her baby girl any day now!) Forgive me if there is an unannounced radio silence here on HPS because I will be helping welcome the little one into this world whenever she decides the time is right! So excited!!
