Work Wear: School Girl Chic

I've been wearing this black pleated skirt to death since I got it. It's so versatile! This week, I paired it with a heart sweater and embellished button up for a school girl look with a sophisticated twist.

Day to Night: Plum Coated Jeans

I recently bought these jeans at JC Penney on sale for $14! These coated denim jeans are perfect for someone who is faux-leather phobic like me. I love the trend, but doubt I could pull it off. For $14, these were the perfect way for me to fake the trend. (And can I tell you how much I have been loving JC Penney lately? So many good buys...)

For daytime, I wore these jeans with a polka-dotted chambray shirt for casual Friday. I paired this look with my Wanted glitter booties because every outfit needs a little sparkle!

Shirt- Old Navy, Jeans- JC Penney, Belt- Target, Scarf- J. Crew Factory, Booties- Loehman's

How cute is this little leopard bow bracelet?! Bought this recently when F21 was having a 30% off sale on all jewelry. My mint link bracelet is from one of my favorite etsy shops, GlamourMeJewels. Check out more of her pieces here.

Bangle- Forever 21, Link Bracelet- GlamourMeJewels, Watch- Marshalls, Bow Bracelet- Forever 21

For night, I traded my chambray top for this cobalt peplum one. I loved the unexpected combination of cobalt with the plum jeans. I also exchanged my mint bracelets for a cobalt one.

Top- The Limited, Shoes- Shoemint, Bracelet- Forever 21

I can't believe I have had this blazer in my closet for almost a year, and this is only the second time I've worn it! I am in love with my Leila booties from Shoemint which further dressed up my look.

Blazer- Forever 21

To top off both outfits, I wore this mint floral statement necklace. This was another F21 find that reminded me of a J. Crew necklace I passed up several months ago due to the steep price tag. This one was only $8.80!

Necklace- Forever 21

Hope you enjoyed this day to night outfit post!

Current Craving: Ankle Straps

1/2/3/4

I have had my eye on ankle straps for a while now. I'm pretty short (5'3"), so I'm a little nervous they would make my legs look even shorter. Regardless, I'd still love to try out a pair! These are the some of the pairs I have been considering.

Which is your favorite?
