It’s pretty simple; in these last weeks of winter, I find myself gravitating to some of my favorite neutrals in my closet.  They’re all super cozy, and they are effortlessly chic when paired together.  

First, THE best nude turtleneck sweater. I mean this sweater just screams cozy.  It was one of those golden finds from Zara last year…you know those particular Zara finds that you have to grab ’em while you can, because you won’t find them again.  It’s always bittersweet when you find a piece like this, yet it’s also worth celebrating.  

Second, my favorite black distressed jeans that I wear all of the time. They’re comfortable to wear all day, and they instantly give my outfit a little edge to balance out the oversized sweater. 

Next up, a structured, black leather purse that can take me all the way through business meetings to happy hour.  You know I’m a huge fan of Zac bags (as you can see here), so this beauty was a welcome recent addition in my wardrobe.

Lastly, a pair of statement sunnies always, because the struggle is real when it comes to that sunny winter glare!  Truly, MKR

A Smart Transitional Piece Makes for a Stunning Style Statement

If you’ve been following along on my adventures, I recently flew between balmy LA and frigid Atlanta. I was so happy to have a great transitional piece to get me to and from in style, and one that doubles as a striking statement as well.  Enter: my Tory Burch vest

To say I’m obsessed with this long, jacquard vest and its notched collar would be an understatement….plus it gives me just the right amount of warmth.  And atop a powder blue silk blouse, it’s as comfortable as it is effortless. Grey just seemed like perfection with this duo, so I recently paired it with faded grey jeans (an Old Navy score! Similar grey jeans here and here) and the most comfortable heels ever…my grey suede Manolos. An investment, yes, but oh so worth it year after year. Lastly, and with what I like to call a true “boss bag,” I’m ready for a busy week back in the A.  Truly, MKR

P.S. These grey jeans were under $30! Shop similar pairs here and here
