Earth Tones With a Pop of Red

Howdy! I've been MIA because of my busy schedule lately. Here's a quick outfit post before I finish cleaning up and head to the gym.

Gap Sweater    |   Gap Pants   |   Gap Beanie   |   Jeffrey Campbell Shoes

This sweater made an appearance in my last post, and I'm wearing it again here! Slouchy sweaters are a no-brainer when it comes to incorporating them into your outfit. You can wear them with everything: mini skirts, pencil skirts, a-line skirts, jeans, trousers. Since my ensemble is mostly earth toned, I opted to wear a bright red beanie for a pop of color and extra warmth.

I've been thinking about the act of multitasking, and its effectiveness. Some say that it's not really multitasking but task switching, and that multitasking actually results in lower productivity because you're not entirely focused on one thing. What do you think? I'm always multitasking because I often feel pressed for time, and feel that things get done faster if I do several things at once. I eat breakfast while getting ready in the morning or while walking to the train. Sometimes I exercise while watching tv at home. I cook, clean, and do laundry at the same time. But now I'm rethinking this whole multitasking strategy. Sometimes I find that if I start several projects at once, I get sidetracked and then the projects are halfway done. And this is only my personal life.

At work, the multitasking increases tenfold. I always have a list of things that need to be done for the day. But there's also emails that need to be answered. People coming to you in person with questions all day. Last minute requests, deadlines to be met, tasks to delegate. Does this sound familiar to you? I'm sure you can relate. So, do you multitask and if so, do you find that it's effective? I'm really interested to know!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Leather you will or leather you won't

gifted Bebe Jacket    |  Gap Dress    |  Apri Boots  |   Top necklace:DIY  |   Bottom Necklace: Lucky Brand

Last week, you could still get away with rocking bare legs, but now all I can say is brrrr! You'll freeze your tootsies off.

Every woman should own a black leather jacket. They make you look instantly cool and chic. But owning a light colored leather jacket was something I never gave a second thought to. My friend had this jacket that I'm wearing in these pictures. I thought it was kind of cheesy when she showed it to me, but after some convincing I thought "why not? There's no harm in just trying it on." I was sold! It fits well, it's real leather, and surprisingly, I reach for this jacket more than my black one. Moral of the story: Step outside of your comfort zone because sometimes your friends know best. Happy Monday ya'll!

Ombre + Knits: The Gap Edition

Gap Cardigan (similar)   |  Gap Girls Dress (cute one here)   |  Gap Boots   |   Free People Belt worn as necklace

TGIF! It's been a long week, and I can't wait to unwind with some tea and catch up on episodes of Californication. You know how most people dress down on Friday's? Well, I do the opposite. Friday's are the day I put in a little more effort and finally put on some makeup. It helps to lighten my mood and makes me look forward to the weekend.

Simple pieces like this Gap Kid's ombre dress I'm wearing can be dressed up or down. Since my black booties and awesome statement necklace add a little bit of edge to the outfit, I threw this cream colored cardigan on to soften up the whole look. Also, my necklace is actually a belt from Free People.

Remember to always accessorize and have a terrific weekend folks! Thank you so much for stopping by!
