This is a look that I have been planning for a bit! It is one of those visions that came to mind, and I was able to pull off perfectly! -I love it when that happens!
It is simple in style but packs a punch! A colorful punch mind you! =)
Both the Kate Spade bag and the Ox Knit sweater are color blocked. The bag uses shades of blue and green, and the sweater is pink, and the sleeves are red, with the cuffs being beige.
The whole look is playful, but the sweater is especially fun! The cute puppy graphic is adorable and has a retro feel to it. I found it on a site called OxKnit (I will link it below!) and they have a bunch of sweaters similar in style! In fact, there were a few that caught my eye, but I particularly liked the colors and picture used in this one.
The bag was a splurge that I made on myself for Christmas.
Listen guys, I don't typically spend a lot of money on purses or clothing, at least not on one particular piece. I am pretty frugal when it comes to spending. I look for sales, budget -that kind of thing. But I LOVED the look of this bag! The colors, the arch handle, the color blocking. I already had ideas for styling it. But the price is what held me back.
I figured I would wait until after Christmas was over and I would come back to see how I felt about the bag. Thankfully I did, because it went on sale! I still sat on it, because it was still a lot more than I tend to spend on things. But a few days later I went ahead and did the deed!
And I have no regrets! =D
I have several things coming up this month that I am excited to share with you! I also am considering changing things up a bit on here! I kind of mentioned how I like to shop earlier, I was thinking of sharing more of my shopping tricks and techniques with you. I want to write more about the events I attend. Nothing wild and crazy, I will still have my outfit of the day posts primarily. I just want to sprinkle a few other things in as well.
What do you think? Is there anything you'd like to hear about in particular? I am open to ideas!
Thank you so much for reading! And I wish you a wonderful start to the week!
