hot & fresh

I've had a long-running checklist of necessary wardrobe items, and last week I finally got to check off nearly everything on the list.

Okay, so the items weren't exaaactly "necessary," but most are wardrobe staples that I will incorporate in my fall and winter style in a big way — the blazer and cropped jeans in particular.

And a little more about those jeans: they are a-mazing, and to add to the amazingness, they were only $12.50 at Forever 21. They are perfect fit, perfect length and perfect wash. In the fall, they will look adorable with oxfords, moccasins and gladiators, and in the winter they will be perfect for sliding into leather riding boots. Everyone deserves this pair of jeans, really.
