Madewell Try-On: Spring

You know I can't stay away from my favorite store, Madewell! I always say you should sign up for their Insider's program because they do have perks throughout the year and one of those times is NOW. You can get 15% off your order including denim, but today is the last day. Most sales do not include denim, so get.on.it. It's a free program and who doesn't want extra sales?! While I didn't plan my visit too well, just excuse my black bra in a lot of these Spring fabrics.

9" High-Rise Skinny Jeans in Paloma Wash: Raw-Hem Edition // Size 25

Oh, again, I did say I didn't plan my trip well, right? I came in yoga pants and ended up grabbing these pair of jeans that I was just using to pair with all these tops for you. Turns out that accident turned into me finding the perfect basic jean that makes your butt look good. Why isn't jean shopping always this easy? So if you're looking for a nice high rise jean without rips and hugs your body so good, grab these.

Easy Crop Tee in Daisy Sketch // Size XS

Now, if you don't get Spring vibes from this floral tee, I don't know what will! The soft floral print is more of a minimal vibe that I find refreshing. It is boxy and cropped, which goes well with these accident jeans (as I'm calling them). Of course, this tee would go well with any high waisted bottom. At first, I tried on an XXS but then went with the XS (seen here). I wanted a little more room and concerned it could shrink. It's that perfect tee to toss on when you don't feel like trying too hard.

Eyelet Keyhole Peplum Top // Size XXS (on sale!)

When I saw this online, I knew I needed to try it! Madewell always does eyelet so well. Again, hello black bra. Truthfully, I thought this would be a top I would fall in love with. Maybe it's the bra throwing me off, but the slight puff shoulder threw me off. It is very sweet and perfect for Spring, but just wasn't me. I will say that if you do pick it up, just know that it is slightly on the sheerer side. For work, you'll want to wear a tank under. Weekend wear would be fine with a nude bra.

Botanical Embroidered Bell-Sleeve Sweatshirt // XS

In my head, I have a cute garden and I would wear this cute sweatshirt. The quality on this sweatshirt is thick and gives that good quality feel. The embroidery is the perfect detail. It does have wider sleeves, so I rolled them up.

Village Ruffle-Sleeve Shirt in Highgate Rainbow Stripe // Size XS

Okay, another kinda sheer top. This one feels more like summer with the stripes and fabric. While you could wear this for Spring, I do think it could require a tank underneath. It's adorable, but sheer. The fit is less oversized than other shirts they make. Normally, I'm XXS in their shirts, but went with the XS.

Blakley Stripe Sweater Tee // Size XS (on sale!)

They made this style shirt last year and brought it back in these fun stripes. They totally get you can never have too many stripes. The fabric is a knit and so much better in person. For the fitting, I would go with your normal size. It's not oversized, but has the right amount of room in your normal size. If you have a bigger bust or muscular arms, you might want to go up a size.

Which one's are your favorite?

I think I might say this evvvery Friday, but it's F R I D A Y! It's been rough transitioning into this new job, well the balancing part. And everytime I think I've got it down turns out I don't. #ProjectLife Oh, and daylight's saving has still got me off. Is that just me? But I was able to squeeze in a haircut and color. Annnd I'm trying to prep for my Costa Rica trip coming in less than 2 weeks. It just hit me as I typed that sentence. 2 weeks! And when I say prepping I mean picking up my passport tomorrow from the Passport Agency because I barely renewed it. FYI your passport actually expires 6 months before the date it shows on your passport. Go read that sentence again and then go check your passport. You don't want to be the lady I met who should have been in Paris instead of trying to renew her passport and board her plane the same day. 

Let's flashback to last year's look here. Actually, you might remember it from last week's. Opps! I used the wrong one, soo...yeah I'm a little off. 

  Thanks for linking up! We hope you'll join in this week!

Casual in Window Pane + Linkup

Happy Friday! Raise your hands if you're ready for the weekend? Me, me, me! This girl is catching an early flight out to San Francisco for a quick trip! My girlfriend just moved up there a few weeks ago and naturally I'm the first to pay a visit (aka crash her couch). It's my first time visiting the city decorated for the holidays and hoping to eat my way through. Before I was all about the shopping, but now it's all about the food and drinks. You don't even know how big my itinerary is! So far the Ferry Building and lunch at Coqueta are at the top of the list. But I'm open to any suggestions. You can follow along on Snapchat username: AdriLately

Now, it's time to flashback to a year ago. While I'm not going to lie, I have to say this one really makes me see how far my pictures have come. Note to self: keep practicing with that camera because things do get better with practice. Anyway, these boots were a favorite last year and probably coming with me to SF. 

Thank you for linking up! Hope you join Jessica and I for the linkup this week!

Layered Sweaters

tribal sweater (love this, this too) // cowl neck sweater // skinny jeans // booties

Maybe it's an LA thing, but I've always been resistant to sweaters. Like I really just loathed the idea of having to buy sweaters. Maybe it's the fact that it rarely stays cold here. Maybe it's me trying to fight the fact that  my favorite season is over. But, yes, but this year is different. I've been on a sweater hunt and the chunkier and oversized the better! Oh, and paired together is just the coziest feeling not to mention warm. This tribal sweater has been on repeat ever since I got it. I'm really thinking this striped one might be next. Could this be a sign I'm officially a sweater lover?

Weekend Casual

 

Target blouse old // Distressed jeans // Cognac Espadrilles // Long pendent necklace (it goes with everything!)

Did you have a nice weekend? I hope you did! I have to say mine was so full and really didn't want it to end. But you know what makes a great closing to a weekend? Brunch. More like Sunday brunch. So sure I didn't go to yoga, but how do you say no to amazing eggs and french toast and your favorite guy? You just don't. If you are in the LA area, I highly recommend trying Canele. I can't wait to go back to try their baked pancakes! Okay, now I'm hungry again.

Now, let's chat about these jeans. I'm sure I'm like the last person to get a pair of distressed jeans. You know the kind your mother questions and offers to buy you new pants without holes in them. I really try not to wear these around her. Anyway, after trying to find a pair that has some distressing but not over the top because I have this fear they will fall apart when I have them on. I gave up only to find these from Old Navy on a whim. And you know what? It took me months to actually wear them, but they are easily becoming my favorite jeans and I've gotten over my fear of distressed jean falling apart. Don't ask me where I got that idea!

Thanks so much for reading!
