hi everyone! sorry about the lack of posts this week. i've been trying to focus a bit more on getting a design job, since that was one of my new year's resolutions! small steps, you know? :)

while i was gone, i put together a little mid-winter style inspiration board. i had gotten a request before to write a post about closet essentials, and so here are my picks for winter essentials! simple yet full of style. and i am in LOVE with that red wool pencil skirt. oh j.crew, why must i love you so much..?

what's your favorite piece from this board? :)
