[Dress Shirt: Gap, Sweater: J.Crew, Belt: Old Navy, Leggings: H&M, Boots: Ciao Bella, Watch: Fossil]

Went home for a long weekend and spent time with many of my favorite people; of course I needed a look that was comfortable and polished. Layering closet staples can give a different, as well as textural feel that looks effortless. I had to add a belt that would augment the look and add a contrasting pattern to the mix. Also, meet my favorite boots which have walked me through several European countries, and have recently been resoled … you will see them many, many more times here.
