Ya’ll I am so excited for today’s post, because I am madly in love with my new pink backpack purse! I have had my eye on the Jetsetter from Henri Bendel for quite some time now. I originally went to the store to check out the non-mini version, but it was just a bit too big for what I was looking for. When I saw they had made a mini version, I knew I needed it. It was all about waiting for the perfect color to come along. This pink color was just released earlier this week, and it was the perfect color that I was waiting for. It’s kind of a pink coral color, perfect for spring and summer. My favorite thing about this bag is that it is three bags in one – a backpack, crossbody, and satchel. The beige straps can unhook and move around to create different ways to carry this purse. I have a few trips planned this spring and summer, and this bag is going to be so perfect for travel or just running errands on weekends.
I also recently added a couple closet staples to my wardrobe. One is these new distressed skinny jeans. I like that they have minimal distressing and that the holes are backlined. Best part of these – the price tag! These babies come in at only $88! I did have to size down. I originally ordered my regular jean size, but after about an hour I knew I had to go down a size. I often will wear a new brand of jeans for about an hour around my house with tags on to see how they stretch. This was actually something a salesperson recommended to me once. I don’t do anything major just move around enough to see if they will stretch or not.
My other addition is this black top. I know nothing super special, but a black top like this is so versatile. I currently own one with a dolman/batwing sleeve and wear it all the time. The sleeve prevents me from being able to layer really well with it though which is why I wanted a new one. The 3/4 length sleeve and thin material makes it wearable year round. It comes in a few other color and print options too. I also just saw that a few of them are on sale for 40% off. I’m hoping the white goes on sale soon too. I mean it’s a closet staple. I should have it in multiple colors right?!?! Haha. Hope ya’ll have a great rest of your day and thanks for stopping by!

Hi Ho Hi Ho it’s off to work we go! While working on this post, I got that song stuck in my head, so I decided to share it. Since it’s Monday, I thought I would share a little office outfit inspiration with you. I mentioned last time I posted this top that it was a must have work shirt. I wanted to show you how perfect it pairs with a pencil skirt for work. You could also pair it with a fun colorful skirt to bring some color into your outfit, but I went with my favorite a classic black and white with a colorful purse. I love that this top is not stiff. I sit at a desk all day and the last thing I want is for my office clothes to be uncomfortable. If you are looking for a great pair of black tights, these H&M ones are awesome! I have had them for over 5 years now and they still look new. I must mention that I also only wear them about half a dozen times a year though. I love pairing them with my pencil and flared skirts when it’s cold out. Of course, today the high is 80, so I will be keeping them in my drawer until it’s cold again in a couple days. I kind of like this few days on and few days off of winter we have going on right now. I usually can only stand cold weather for about 3 days and then I am done with it. You know just enough time to wear my cute jackets and sweaters. I like rotating with spring weather, because the breaks from the cold are nice. Alright ya’ll I am off to tackle this Monday! I hope your day is short and sweet! Thanks for swing by today!
