Black & White Stripes

Who doesn’t love black and white? It is such a classic combo and always makes me feel pulled together. Add stripes and it’s even better! I scored this Topshop dress in December on sale for $29 and I wasn’t sure the stripes would work for me but the fabric is thick and the turtleneck definitely helps give the appearance of longer and leaner. Similar dress here.

I have been dying to recreate this outfit since last year but I managed to ruin my most favorite winter striped dress after washing instead of dry cleaning. I had almost given up before finding this dress.

I love the polished look of this field jacket and it is definitely one of my favorite pieces to carry across seasons. J. Crew has a very similar one right now that also comes in a wine color that I really have my eye on. I love this one.

I almost always reach for this scarf with stripes on a cold Texas morning. Since a boutique owner showed me a different way to tuck the ends back under I have loved it even more.

Of course I almost always have to add tights or leggings with dresses especially for work as my legs definitely make it appear shorter than it actually is. I don’t mind though as I think it adds the perfect touch with my Frye boots.

Last week I was feeling particularly sassy and decided to pair my leopard coat with stripes. I bought this coat last year from Forever 21 and tried to return it but was one day past the return date. I’m thinking lucky me! A similar coat can be found here and here.

Look it’s my favorite $12 ring again! I seriously love this ring so much and even ordered in silver. If you want to splurge I hear the Bony Levy is a nice choice but I honestly can tell you I have received tons of compliments on this one.
