My friend Ashlee picked these beauties up in Navy, and I knew they had to come home with me, too—especially when I learned they were only $80! I opted to get them in the bush color since I wear a lot of black in the winter and wasn’t sure a navy x black combo would always work for me. I find they run true to size as the 7 works great for me. However, I will say, they are pretty stiff the first couple of wears, to be prepared to break them in for a little while.

This time of year, one of my favorite outfits for work is a pair of black crop pants and a nice black blouse. I snagged this one from Ann Taylor since I loved the tie-front and dotted detail. It is somewhat see-through, so I’ve opted to wear a black cami underneath it for work. On the weekend, I could easily do without the cami—but want to keep it professional in the office.

I was a BP Trolley Bootie loyalist for years. I bought two pairs—black and a congac—back in 2014 and spent the next three falls and winters essentially walking through them. When I went to purchase new pairs for this season, I discovered that BP had redesigned the Trolley bootie—now called the Lance Block Heel Bootie—so I decided to try a pair. Good news—they are just as fab as the trolley bootie, so I purchased these in black and cognac. I find they run small, so I bought a half-size up.

I purchased a Halogen Drop Waist dress during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and loved the quality and fit for the price point—under $100! So when I was looking for a new work dress to add to the rotation, I started browsing the Halogen dress selection at Nordstrom and stumbled upon this beautiful number. I find that Halogen dresses run slightly large—I stuck with a Medium, but both are a tad roomy. If you’re in-between sizes, I recommend going a size down.

Monica was wearing these sneakers the last time we were hanging out, and I knew I had to snag them, too. These were somewhat of an impulse buy—I loved how lightweight they are and the black Nike swoosh—but I was looking for another pair of shoes to add into my sneaker rotation for OTF. It’s the little things!
