Recent Purchase: Current/ Elliot - Low Rise Cropped Skinny Jeans

Well, not so recent purchase, but I haven't updated in a while...  I purchased a pair of Current/ Elliot's Low Rise Cropped Skinny Jeans, and I love the pop of color it brings to my outfits.  It's cute with a well worn t-shirt, or even dressed up with heels and a blazer.

I've been searching for the perfect shade of mustard yellow jeans for a while now but haven't found it, so I was very excited when all the bold colored denim came out this season.  Alas, of course the thing that only exists except in my imagination, is just that.  If you ever come across a pair, let me know!  In the mean time, I heart my royal blue one!

Found: The Perfect Black Cropped Pants

Perfect black pants are a must, and for the summer, the perfect black cropped pants are a must.  I bought J Crew's Minnie pant in stretch twill a few weeks ago, and it's been in my office wardrobe rotation ever since.  For not a lot of money, it's perfect!  It works pretty much with anything... literally.

I think I may just get it in all available colors (yes, I'm one of those!)

I love this red, it's like a bright red with a slight orange tinge. 

Speaking of J Crew... I'm loving the Edie purse - structured and ladylike, for a more polished look.  I figured with so many slouchy bags... I "need" a more structured bag in my wardrobe.  Right?

From Young Adult to Young Professional

It's time for a major overhaul, especially for my professional image as a designer.  The outfits I wore on a daily basis, was what I used to wear to work.  Sometimes inappropriate... but I do love, and live in jeans.

 The look I am afraid of:
