BOP: winter white

 I'm excited to announce that this is part I of III of a fall/winter collaboration with one

of my favorite stores, BOP! I'm making assumptions here BUT, I'm sure (almost) all of

you have heard of shopbop.com? yes? no? Well, what some of you may not know is 

it all began here in Madison, Wisconsin with one single retail store, BOP. Cool, right?

BOP is a go-to for us Mad Towner's for lots of reason. First, their selection of denim is out 

of this world. Did I say an entire wall of all of your favorite designer denim? Yeah. I did.

Here I am wearing a current love, Frame denim along with a super soft 360 Cashmere 

sweater, a statement Rebecca Minkoff leopard print bag and a pair of Karen Walker

sunglasses that I can't get out of my brain. 

This is just the beginning of what BOP has to offer to all of you fashionable ladies.

Make sure to pop on into BOP next time you're in downtown Madison to find all of

the pieces I am wearing here plus loads more! I promise you'll find something to take 

home with you.

feeling feminine.

Although practically my entire wardrobe is black and grey 

and a bit towards the edgy side, I do like to dress a bit girly 

here and there... a bit, kind of... barely. I loved the way this

 top fit when I found it at BOP, but it had those goofy off the 

shoulder sleeves. They made me look like I had wings. 

Although I'd love to fly, it was just too weird. But there 

must be a solution to every problem, right? I cut the sleeves 

off and WA-LA!  A fun, girly, easy to wear tube top. 

Looks like we're in for a treat with some warm weather 

the end of this week, so pull out your favorite girly tops and 

soak up the warm sun while it's still here!

boyfriend dressing

One trend I love but struggle with a bit is dressing like a boy(friend). 
At first, I was puzzled by the baggy jeans, baggy shirt look being worn by 
all the hottest (tiniest) women in fashion. Why would they want to hide 
their amazing figures? I thought to myself. Then I tried on this pair of 
J Brands a couple years ago and realized exactly why... What's not to
 love about soft, baggy, super comfy jeans? They work any way, with sneakers
 or heels, an old t-shirt or silk blouse. Wear em, love em... you can even 
dance in em, if you want to.

transitional dressing.

When you wake up in the middle of June and it's barely 60 degrees, 

it's kind of tough to decide what to wear. An easy transition outfit 

is always the way to go. It keeps you warm enough in the morning and 

let's you cool down enough in the afternoon. Open toed shoes, ripped jeans,

 a good t shirt, light jacket, a hat and a killer backpack sounded perfect to me. 

This is my favorite lightweight jacket. It works with everything 

and is nice and comfy. Pair it with a t shirt and you're good to go for 

those cooler summer days.
