Two Sweaters for the Price of One

Beyond excited to partner up with Morning Lavender again on SS!  I don't know if y'all remember, but I styled one of their gorg dresses on here a while back - it was a dreamy white number, and I shot it in NYC with the wonderful Jiyang Chen.

Their entire collection is goals so I pretty much want everything they sell, but I'm currently obsessed with their Carly light grey twisty sweater.  It's $54.99 so it doesn't come cheap, but it's seriously too cute to pass up.  Made of a cotton/acrylic blend, this baby can be dressed up and down, forwards or backwards.  Anddd as a bonus, it's super lightweight so it'll transition beautifully into the spring.  I'm wearing small/medium and it fits me well, and it's on the looser side, which I love!  What can I say? I've always been a fan of the oversized silhouette - also available in medium/large.

For today's OOTD, I styled my new sweater with a flowy skirt from BCBG for a feminine look.  I wanted to keep things simple so I skipped jewelry and carried my new Gucci crossbody and heels to match!  How would you guys style this sweater?

Find of the Day: The Long Sleeved Lace-Up Crop ($17.50)

Alright guys, it's time for another find of the day!  If you're a fan of the lace-up trend, you'll absolutely love today's pick.  This fabulous crop top is currently on sale for $17.50 on the amiclubwear website, which is all sorts of awesomesauce because it was originally $34.99.  On top of that discount, you can get an extra 50% off with code FIRST50 for a limited time (!!!!)  I think it's actually only good for the day so make sure you hustle.

Anywho, I got this piece a few weeks back in size small, and I wore the crap out of it while I was vacationing in the Caribbean.  I styled it with denim cutoffs during the day and cool high-waisted skirts + heels for fancy schmancy dinners in the PM.  Made of a polyester/spandex blend, this piece oozes sexy without showing too much.  Anddd as a bonus, you can wear it all year round!  As always, hit me up if you have any questions.  You guys know what to do!

Post-Cruise Blues

Happy Monday, everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I know a lot of you already know this, but I just got back from the Caribbean.  I had a ton of fun cruising with Royal Caribbean, but I'm pretty tired (hence the radio silence on SS yesterday, ha).  I'm going to sound ridiculous saying this, but I feel like I need a vacation from my vacation.  I think it's partly because traveling back home was a pain.  

My flight out of Fort Lauderdale got delayed so I ended up missing my plane to Pittsburgh.  I was stranded at the Philly airport for hours, BUT on a more positive note, I finally got to try Geno's Steaks (!!!!) Yay for nom foods. Anywho, I'm planning on recapping my entire trip for you guys on here super soon so keep an eye out!

Moving onto today's OOTD, I styled a casual everyday look for you guys.  I paired my fave striped tank with skinnies, badass lace-up boots, and a fab military-inspired vest for a bamf but laid-back vibe.  For those of you wondering, the kicks were a recent purchase from Nine West Factory - they were on sale for $50 so I decided to treat myself!  I don't usually spend that much moolah on boots - I usually wait until they're discounted to $30 or less - but I wanted to reward myself for passing my last doctoral comp soooo yeah.
