i heart shark week sweatshirt

So I pinned this shark week shirt a few weeks ago and it's been pretty popular so I decided to do a style board with it!

I really think you can wear this anywhere,  doing errands (might want to swap the heels in for some flats!) or out for some casual drinks with your friends.  I kept the accessories simple since the sweatshirt is really the focus.

What do you think?!

Pink Bermuda Shorts from J.Crew

This is how I would wear my pink bermuda shorts that I just ordered!
Casual and fun!  I like pairing it with a fun  canvas back to keep the laid back feel, I couldn't decide between the 2 bags so I put both in!  At first the off white bag with the white shirt bothered me but then I liked it, I mean you don't want to look like you are trying too hard so I think it gives it a nice contrast and more casual feel, what do you think?

J.Crew Bermuda Shorts in 'Sparkling Sea'

Okay so this is an example of how I might wear my new sparkling sea Bermuda shorts this spring/summer.  I would wear this out for a casual yet polished night out around the city.  Trade in the flats for pumps to give it a more sexy feel or flip flops for a back yard BBQ feeling.  I paired it with a black blazer and clutch to dress it up, and some pink nails for an added pop of color! 

Now, how many months away till spring...sigh.

Rediscovering J.Crew

So I used to be obsessed with J.Crew back in junior high and high school, it was the only place I ever shopped, then I think a few things happened, one I discovered other designer brands and 2 I think they got really expensive!  I used to have a $200 budget for school clothes and I would get a ton of stuff from there now that buys 2 articles of clothing! 

Anyways I rarely ever go into or online to J.Crew anymore but for some reason I decided to check it out and they are having a #totesamaze sale right  now an extra 30% off their already reduced sales items!  I got 3 pairs of shorts and 2 pairs of pants for under 100 bucks!  I know you probably aren't thinking of buying shorts right now esp if you live in a cold winter climate like I do but I couldn't pass up $10 shorts!  AND they were the 9 inch shorts and Bermuda shorts, I can't wear those short shorts anymore (sigh) BUT if you are like me and thought that shorts could not be in your wardrobe anymore try out these longer ones and pair with some pumps.

Obsessed with this Cashmere Hoodie from J.Crew

I have been obsessed with this hoodie for a few years now but it's 300 dollars!!  It even LOOKS soft!  I think I have seen it on sale but even then it's still way too much for me to ever justify buying it.

I kept this style board simple because I wanted the sweater to be the focus.  I love it paired with skinny jeans but you can wear this with regular jeans, leggings, skirts, over dresses, pajama pants anything it's so amazing!  Some day you'll be mine hoodie, some day!

(I'm also obsessed with those Sorel boots but I own them already I'm just waiting for it to snow ;o)
