saturday night superhero

Sometimes the best part of going out is getting dressed for it. You never know what a big night out is going to bring, so it doesn't hurt to work a bit of a superhero vibe to get yourself in the right mindset: ready for anything, not taking any shit.

every superhero needs a cape -- this sequin jacket cape is very sleek and fab, a great nighttime outerwear option (because wearing your daytime coat never feels right) // a black jumpsuit is the easiest when you literally need to suit up // an all-black canvas, including a simple clutch, makes your rad accessories pop // I love the idea of one of these chunky bracelets on each wrist, Wonder Woman-style // rainbow lace-up booties definitely say kickass

ETA: and now the jumpsuit is sold out. Super bummer. A few more to try: ads for this jumpsuit have made a permanent home on my Facebook feed (being retargeted like whoa), but I do like it. This cropped one would be even better for showing off those badass boots. And this one looks super comfy.

a touch of spring

I don't always love Punxsutawney Phil's predictions, but it looks like that little dirt beaver was right this year -- Florida has had almost no winter to speak of, and much of the country has been seeing real signs of spring for the past week or so. It's almost March, and then there's nothing but sunshine, crisp air, and long days ahead.

There's a reason that everyone needs at least one good light spring jacket. This weather calls for loose, easy pieces you can layer and unlayer as needed. It seems like everyone has a version of a rugged field jacket lately (see here, here, and here). I wasn't initially sold on it, but it is starting to grow on me as a less fussy alternative to a trench coat. It's a perfect topper to a very easy Sunday afternoon outfit:

I like the color and the shape of this utility jacket, a closet staple that you'll wear for years // a big, fabulous pair of sunglasses to protect against too much sun or too little eye makeup // I'm always on the hunt for the perfect striped shirt, and this one comes pretty damn close // weekend pants should always be comfy // a good crossbody bag that is surprisingly affordable // these slides are perfect for showing off your new spring pedi

new weekend uniform

I'm not shopping this month, but if I was I'd probably head over to Target to check out the Who What Wear capsule collection that launched a few weeks ago. The one piece that caught my eye was, of course, the striped tee. The 3/4 length sleeves and sweet boatneck detail give it some extra interest, and I like this bright, summery shade of blue. Paired with a few great basics, this shirt would easily become the basis for my new weekend uniform:

You'll never regret having a great striped tee in your closet, and this one is super affordable. On the weekend, I always love a pair of long, lean flared jeans -- legs for days, super chic, super comfy. This little crossbody bag is practical and won't interrupt the overall silhouette you're creating. I love a cool pair of sneakers, and these Adidas tennies with rose gold cap toes are perfection. When I'm bumming around on the weekends I get too fussy with accessories, but a little sheer pink lipstick and some simple rings are nice finishing touches.
