Business as Usual

This is one of my go-to outfits right now. As I’ve mentioned in the past, Tucson doesn’t get very cold in the winter. It does, however, get cold enough that I don’t want to be walking around in a thin blouse with nothing else to keep me warm. That’s where this super cool vest comes in. It’s the perfect way to dress up an otherwise plain outfit and somewhat keep my middle warm during the 10 minute walk to my office. Plus, this classic outfit looks perfect with this beautiful wrap bracelet from That’s So Fletch.

Once again, I’m wearing Love Bite from Kylie Cosmetics, a favorite of mine lately. The black blouse is yet another find from Nordstrom Rack, the jeans from ThredUp, and the booties from Poshmark. The vest is from Missguided, which has been offering generous student discounts as of late. I think I got a few of my most recent things for 50% off!

It’s a good look for my walk to work and casual enough to walk to class without too many weird looks for being “too fashionable” (as if there is such a thing).

One of the things I’m featuring on my wrist right now is a lovely agate bracelet from That’s So Fletch Boutique. It’s a small business started by another girl just like me, which is so cool (follow your dreams girl!), and she makes these super unique wrap bracelets featuring beautiful natural stones. Mine is a slice of black agate and it’s perfect for my look. The pink agate is probably my second favorite, followed by the galaxy druzy stones. She’s even offering 20% off if you use my code KIRSTEN20. It makes a great gift for a friend whether it’s a birthday or a “just because” type of thing!

I hope you like this look as much as I do and had a happy holiday!

    That pink duster is gorgeous! I love the casual vibes. I almost always pair my distressed denim with booties or heels to dress it up a bit 🙂

    What a beautiful outfit! Here we get cold and snow, I love it but it also means that I have to have two different sets of clothing winter wear and summer wear so it gets hard with closet space!

    This looks like a great spring outfit for me! It’s a little too cold in the PNW to wear right now. Love Bite looks great on you!

    I love this outfit! So cute 🙂 I’m so tempted to order these pieces to wear to work with black pixie pants. Thank you for the outfit inspiration!
