What Does the Fox Say?

Old Navy fox sweater, Kohl's embellished blouse, Jessica Simpson dark wash skinnies, Rock and Republic pumps, Henri Bendel bag, Kate Spade watch and bangle, Burberry glasses

Ok, let me just state the obvious: there is a fox on my sweater. And, before anyone asks; Yes, half the reason (ok, maybe the only reason) I bought this is to have a post titled exactly what it is titled. So, now that I've admitted on the internet that I choose my clothes based on oddly popular YouTube videos, we can move on. 

I was never a huge fan of layering my clothes because I felt like it created unnecessary bulkiness. But, now I love it to add an extra pop to my outfits! I paired this sweater with a hot pink blouse to pick up on the fox's glasses (foxes wear glasses?!) and to bring in some sparkle with the pearl embellished collar. Neutral accessories seemed like the way to go with such a quirky statement sweater, so I chose a simple bangle and gold watch with my Henri Bendel duffel.

Fall/Winter has been extremely mild here in SoCal, as expected, up until this past week where the temperature dropped dramatically. So, I've kind of just been pretending it's cold enough to wear sweaters and boots. 

And I know what you're all thinking about the glasses. Totally on purpose to match the fox. Obviously.

Purseday Thursday


Welcome to Purseday Thursday! If you couldn't tell from the name of this blog, I love purses! From oversized totes, to mini cross bodies, to envelope clutches, in my world, there's just no such thing as "too many" when it comes to bags. So, keep an eye out for Thursdays where I'll share all my handbag happenings!  


This week, I'm showcasing my Henri Bendel barrel bag that I got as a graduation present a few months ago. With the signature brown and white Henri Bendel stripes, gold hardware, and camel leather trim, it's a classic piece that's great for a girl on the go. I'm able to tote around everyday necessities like my phone and lipgloss, while also squeezing in my sunglasses and an umbrella to be prepared for all kinds of spontaneous fall weather. There's also more than enough space for a water bottle, snacks, and even an extra change of clothes. For a commuter like myself, this bag is both spacious and chic! 


What's in my Bag:
  • Revlon lipgloss in Bordeaux: A beautiful berry color that's great for fall
  • NYX lipgloss in Sugar Pie: My first nude lip color, and I love it!
  • Burberry glasses case: Just in case my contacts decide not to cooperate
  • Ray Ban folding wayfarers: The only thing that gets me through my morning commute of driving toward the sun
  • Leopard print umbrella: Serves as a functional yet trendy accessory to make even rainy days fun (similar available here and here)
