Laundry Day
I call this outfit Laundry Day because all of my everyday staples were in the wash and this is what I came up with. Laundry day mornings are significantly more difficult than normal mornings because you’re forced to dress outside of your comfort zone. This can result in some seriously atrocious outfits (I’m looking at you crop-top + leggings disaster), but it can also create some prettaaay prettaaay prettaaaay (any other Larry David fans out there?) great outfits as well.
I had completely forgotten about these Theyskens’ Theory jeans until they toppled on top of me while I was grabbing for one of my way too many pairs of black jeans the other morning. I was also finally forced to forgo my go to sweaters and silk blouses and reintroduce a spring tank top that was at one point a recurring star in my daily outfit rotations. Isn’t it funny how an article of clothing that you swore you’d never stop wearing ultimately finds its way to the very back of your closet? I always kind of feel bad for those pieces but I guess clothes don’t have feelings; and it’s a good thing they don’t because I throw way too many of them on the floor on laundry days…

We all know how much I love me some monochromatic looks, so naturally when I purchased this pair of Current/Elliott jeans I knew it was only a matter of time before I dabbled in the burgundy/red mash up (*note: this could also be because I’m not drinking this month and am admittedly having some red wine withdrawls).
I threw this outfit together in the very last minute before a brunch with some friends on Sunday and have to say, I’m quite pleased with the results (which is a rarity when I just throw a few pieces together without so much as a glance in the mirror). Now I know what you’re all thinking, “Sonia, you need to stop wearing those Acne boots, it’s getting old,” and I hear you, I really do. But here’s the thing, I CAN’T STOP! They are hands down the best shoes I have ever owned and it’s a daily struggle not to wear them all the time, even though it already seems like I do. They’re like the black skinny jeans of shoes in my wardrobe – just when I think I’m ready to move on, I slip them on and poof! my outfit is 1,323,252,313 times better than it was before.
Do you have something like that in your closet? Please share so that perhaps I can move on from my current addiction.

When I was little no one stood a chance at getting me to wear a bow in my hair. In fact, any photos of me wearing a bow were also photos of me throwing major temper tantrums and hissy fits. My room was pink, I danced ballet and loved Barbies more than anything but wearing a bow in my hair was way too girly for my liking.
While I still can’t possibly imagine tying a pretty little bow in my goldie locks, I have grown a liking for clothing, shoes and non-hair accessories with bows. I love the elegance of a pussybow (worst fashion word ever) on a silk shirt or dress, the structure of a bowtie and the femininity a little bow adds to a simple pair of heels. So, in an effort to add more bow focused pieces to my closet, here are some bow-ie looks I’m currently coveting.
