dots of color.

The first day back at school or work after several weeks of holiday festivities and vacationing is bound to be rough.  But the back to school blues is easy to battle with lots of bold color.  Dotted in my blouse, clutch, shoes, and even nails, I’m ready to take on my last semester of law school.

Blouse: Madewell
Skirt: Express

winter trip.

Every January, the bf and I take a winter trip to somewhere cold (which is essentially anywhere but Arizona).  Instead of exchanging presents for our anniversary in December, we go on a new adventure together as our gift.

This year, we visited Salt Lake City, explored the eateries downtown, wandered around Park City, toured the nearby Olympic facilities, and hit the slopes.  It was a jam-packed four days (with definitely more photos to come!), but for now, it’s time to unpack and gear up for a new semester.

one blouse / three ways.

As much as I love shopping, I also enjoy taking what I already have and making it feel new.  Shopping your closet can sometimes be a challenge, but all you need is a little creativity and a knack for playing dress up.  Personally, a blouse might be the easiest and most versatile piece to mix.  Tuck it in to a skirt, tie it over a dress, or wear it under a blazer, the possibilities can really be endless.
