NOVEMBER FAVORITES

This past November, I worked on challenging myself to dress outside of my usual comfort zone. It started with buying a leopard print coat, and ended with stealing a lot of vintage chain belts from my mother at home. I’ve been into some more holiday colors recently too. Here’s a few of my fav purchases and accessories that fit the out of the box theme well —

FASHION

Missguided Black Floral Chiffon Milkmaid Top — I’m not sure if it’s the Instagram pressure or what, but I’ve been OBSESSED with “milkmaid” style tops and dresses. They have a nice snug corset fit with puffy sleeves, and I’ve bought about four in the past two months. This one is one of my favorite recent purchases and I’m obsessed. Perfect for work or fun.

Plum Satin Ruched Milkmaid Mini Dress — I told you I wasn’t kidding about the milk maid style — this ruched dress was a no brainer when I was online shopping the other day for a fancy Christmas party I’m going to the beginning of next month. It’s a lot redder in person which I love and fits like a glove!

ACCESSORIES

Callista Mismatched Earrings Set — The more piercings I get, the more I realize I love the look of mismatched earrings. This cute set from Urban comes with a ton of little charms to mix and match, plus they’re super comfortable to wear and literally go with anything.

Vintage Gold Belt — This one I have thanks to my grandmother and mother’s closet! I found this belt during my trip home over the Thanksgiving holiday and I literally haven’t been able to stop wearing it since. It’s super stunning to pair over jumpsuits, jeans or even a big sweater. So good.
