one word: POCKETS

…extra pockets.

One thing I really try to focus on when blogging is style over trends. YES there is a difference…trends are what everyone seems to be wearing and style is what you do with what you wear as an individual. Especially with trends.

Last month, while in NYC…I went shopping for the first time at Zara and I quickly found out that its a little slice of Heaven.

I laid my eyes on this denim jacket, and literally put everything else back. I am extremely picky when it comes to  three things…black boots, coffee, and denim.

Perfect denim…perfect “wear”…and extra pockets. Two outside and two hidden pockets inside.

“YASSS”

Huge shout out to my sister for getting me the sweetest coffee mug from Tj Maxx.

You can even see the relaxed fit in the arms of my denim jacket. Hello, perfection.

midi skirt dreamin’

My first thought about midi skirts were that I’m 5 foot nothing, and I don’t want to look any shorter.

That was until I thought I was going to knock my mom over trying to get to this one. How could I say no to this beautiful midi skirt?! My height wasn’t stopping me from making this incredible purchase.

While I’ve worn it with a basic, ripped black tee to give it an edge…for this shoot I decided to pair it with a denim button up for a sweeter look.
