Purple Dot

[Polka Dot Blouse: J.Crew factory (old); Cardigan: Banana Republic; Pants: Theory via Crossroads Trading Co.; Shoes: Bandolino via T.J.Maxx, Necklaces: J.Crew factory (old); Earrings: BaubleBar]

I love when Boston decides to be sunny and warm. It makes waking up in the morning and snapping some outfit pictures before work much more pleasant. 

J.Crew factory pieces definitely dominate this look, with the purple polka dot blouse, two necklaces and "bracelet" (another necklace actually). I come from a place with two J.Crew outlets within five miles, so the store can definitely be seen a lot in my wardrobe. This whole outfit feels like one shopping deals win. There's the Banana Republic cardigan, which I picked up in December when they decided to discount the entire store by 40 percent one weekend. My black pants are Theory and were thrifted at this fabulous store on my San Francisco trip. And the shoes are the T.J.Maxx ones I've gushed over before. 

I'm starting to realize finding deals on clothes runs in my blood. Every time I compliment my beautiful stylish Nana on what she's wearing, she says something like. "Oh I got this at Macy's, on their clearance rack, which had another 30 percent off. AND I had a coupon. So it cost me $7." I also inherited my nocturnal and anti-morning tendencies from her.
