Variations on a Theme

What I Wore: [Top: Loft - similar, Jeans: Seven - similar, Cardigan: Urban Outfitters - similar, Earrings: Kate Spade New York - similar, Shoes: Lucky Brand]

By the end of the week my style inspiration has usually run a little dry and I often find myself weakly reaching for my black J. Crew Pixi pants and Gap chambray top, my two most well loved clothing items, as I shuffle off to the library. This Friday I tried to break that habit and opted for a more interesting variation on the same theme. As someone who is anything but subtle these black baroque printed jeans are one of my favorite items of clothing ever (and that's saying a lot because we all know I am not a pants girl)! Pair them with this embellished button up, my go-to cardigan that is literally 6 years old, and my "cool" flats and I feel like I might actually have to go out and do something on a Friday night.....watching Project Runway in my bed counts, right? I think so.

Happy Weekend, Everyone!
   

OOTD: Chambray Everyday

What I wore [Top: Gap, Skirt: J Crew, Bag: Target, Shoes: Target, Necklace: vintage, Nails: Essie’s “Coat Azure”]

Long time no post! My family has recently gotten a new puppy so I have been a bit preoccupied for the past few weeks (and have not been wearing anything cute or notable). Recently though I did get the chance to get a bit more dressed up than usual and go out to eat and be with the real world again. One of my go to outfits, aside from a dress and tights, is to pair my beloved chambray shirt with some kind of colored or patterned bottoms. Since it is July and it is warm out I chose this obnoxious orange skirt, which in my opinion is a good representation of the “right” kind of neon (leave it to J Crew to do everything perfectly). Anyway, all I did to complete the outfit was to put on some metallic sandals and an interesting necklace and I was quickly out the door!

I’m heading to Chicago next this weekend for a short little vacation, so look out for some up coming outfit posts from there, you can also see more of my everyday life updates via my Instagram (@evagoellner). Thank you all for reading, and have a beautiful Monday!
