Hi guys!

Sorry it's been a millionnn years since I wrote my last blog post! It's been a busy time for me! Both exciting and stressful. Anyways, today I am writing a post featuring my new white cropped sweater from Tobi! I am so excited to collaborate with this brand because I absolutely love their fun, flirty, and fearless fashion. As you guys probably know, I am a major fan of crop tops, and I am always looking for more pieces to add to my collection! (P.S. FIRST TIME SHOPPERS AT TOBI GET 50% OFF! HEC YES!)

This top seemed like the perfect addition to my little crop family for a number of reasons. First, I loved the ribbed detailing, it adds a more textured feeling to the look. Second, I love the fact that this little piece is 3/4 sleeved! Even though it's a crop, it doesn't mean it can't keep you cozy! Last, I love a good white shirt. This piece is perfect for neutral outfits and simple color palettes. Can't go wrong with white!

So after falling in love with this adorable top from Tobi, this is how I decided to style it:

Top: Tobi | Jeans: Genetic | Jacket (similar): Maje | Shoes: Maiden Lane | Bag (similar): Marc by Marc Jacobs

I wanted to go for a more chic, sophisticated look with this top, but it can definitely be styled more casually with a cute pair of shorts, a flannel, and some sneaks. (Gotta love that versatility!)

For the bottoms paired with this top, I decided to go with my distressed skinnies from Genetic Denim. Distressed denim is soooo in, guys! And I honestly can't foresee it going out of style any time soon. I love distressed denim because it gives any look an edginess that it otherwise would not have had. However, if you aren't a fan of holes in your denim, fear not! This look would still work with regular skinnies as well. But if you feel like being a little daring with your look, I highly recommend getting some distressed skinnies!

To continue to amp up the look, instead of keeping it on the more casual side, I thought I would pair the top and distressed jeans with a pair of two-piece, suede heeled sandals from Gilt by Maiden Lane. Wearing heels with denim definitely adds a level of sophistication to the look, but if you're not a big fan of wearing heeled sandals a killer pair of ankle boots could do the trick as well!

keeping with the neutral palette I have so far created for this look, I wanted to add outerwear and a handbag to tie it all in. These choices came easily for me! One of my absolute favorite thrift finds of all time was this gorgeous Maje leather jacket I spotted at Wasteland on Melrose. Now this beauty is usually way out of my price rang, but I am an avid thrifter, and love coming across specialty pieces like this! A well-made leather jacket is a great investment - timeless and long lasting. If you don't have a neutral leather or faux-leather piece such as this, an extra-long cardigan or blazer could also be worn. And last but not least, this leather jacket matches perfectly with my neutral handbag from Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Hope you enjoy! xoxo
