What I Wore Last Week: April 8 – 14 Outfit Roundup

April 19, 2019

Last week was pretty weird – we had temperatures in the high 60s early in the week, and then a ‘baby bomb cyclone’ of snow on Wednesday, and now we’re warming up again. Spring, what the heck?! Regardless, I am loving getting to wear lighter spring pieces.

Monday

Jacket – similar // Tank – similar // Jeans // Shoes – similar // Barrette (part of a set)

What’s great about this spring weather is being able to wear a light jacket all day, like a blazer or this tweed piece. It’s not so cold that I need something heavier, and not so hot that I need to take it off. Perfect! Even though my office is casual a structured jacket makes me feel a bit more professional.

The hair clips I’ve been loving and wearing ever since I got them about 2 weeks ago! This pearl one was made to go with tweed, right?

Tuesday

Top – similar // Jeans (under $25) // Shoes – similar // Necklace – similar (under $25)

What are our thoughts on pajama style tops? I feel like this was one of those trends that came and went quickly! If this top wasn’t in leopard print, which is one of my faves, I probably would have already parted with it. But the print is too good! Honestly I don’t think people really look at this top and think of it as pajama inspired, but just a button down blouse, so maybe it can continue to work in my closet for a few more years?

Wednesday

 Top – similar (under $25)// Jeans (under $25) // Shoes (under $25) // Barrettes (part of a set)

Do you guys remember when the Lauren Conrad line of clothing came out at Kohl’s? My sister and I loved it (and I actually still really like a lot of the stuff!). This top is part of that line, and I’ve had it for somewhere over 6 years now. And yes, I am wearing the hair clips again!

Thursday

So Thursday I worked from home due to the bomb cyclone…and I am not going to post on the internet for everyone to see how raggedy I looked that day! Ha!

But, I will tell you that I wore these leggings (under $30), which are the comfiest and coziest and I actually wear them almost every day when I get home from work! I hardly ever spend over $20 on lounge wear, but these are so worth it.

Friday

Top – similar (under $18) // Jeans (under $25) // Shoes – similar // Necklace – similar

Friday was a long day — I worked a half day and then we drove out to Nebraska for a wedding. I wore my usual casual outfit to work, changed to leggings for the drive, and then sat in the car for 8.5 hours. The good part is the wedding was beautiful (I forgot to take a picture of my dress!) and I had a great time seeing family. Well worth it!


Since I’m in town this weekend I’ll be heading to the thrift store on Saturday to see what I can find. If you want a sneek peak of some thrift store finds and what I end up taking home, follow me on Instagram and check out my stories!

I took this photo 10 months ago to share some of m I took this photo 10 months ago to share some of my favorite thrift finds in a blog post, and I'm currently wearing this vintage sequin sweater today ❇️ I bought it for 99¢ during @arcthrift 's annual sweater sale, and it needed some help. I used dish soap to get a few white spots out of the fabric, and mended a small tear at the seam 🪡 I don't normally give that much care to my thrift finds, but this silk/angora/rabbit hair blend was so soft and the sequins are in perfect shape, so I gave it a shot! Very glad that I did ☺️ #secondhandstyle #countdowntofriday

Feeling like a million bucks in this perfect condi Feeling like a million bucks in this perfect condition vintage suede and wool coat I got at the Goodwill bins 😝 It's THE winter vacation coat if you ask me ❄️ Since you pay by the pound at the bins, this stunner cost about $5 😱 As a matter of fact, most of my outfit is secondhand: Brooks Brothers turtleneck, J. Crew jeans, and Coach purse via the thrift, and Kenneth Cole suede boots from Mercari 🏷️ Now heading home from a wonderful ski weekend in Beaver Creek 🎿 #secondhandstyle #countdowntofriday

9 years ago we were on our honeymoon in Iceland 🇮🇸 I just had to download this image off of Facebook (hence the low quality!) to post because this coat is thrifted 😂 I still have this coat and need to wear it more! It's a simple, long houndstooth coat. I found it at a big flea market in Florence when I was studying abroad for 25 euro. Once a thrifter, always a thrifter 😝 #secondhandstyle #countdowntofriday
