Lately 9/15/2016

Black Silk Ruffle Tank// Black Pants

Sunglasses// Shoes// Chanel Bag (similar) 

Wearing: I got a lot of questions about this outfit-- the full outfit post will be coming soon, but sharing the details so you can shop now if you'd like! I wrote abut these 'jeans' in last week's post-- they're seriously the most comfortable pants I've ever owned. I plan to pair them with these shoes once they arrive in a few weeks (they're back ordered). Since they are quite distressed, it gives anything you pair with an edgy look (which I love because I'm not really an 'edgy' dresser.) So it makes looking chic a whole lot easier. Not to mention they'are a steal at under $60. They run true to size, I'm in a size 27. 

Steal (also here) vs. Splurge

Loving: I'm back with another look for less. The 'steal' (also available in navy, here) is still somewhat of a splurge in my opinion, but they're also almost $300 less than the splurge! I've never  tried on the steal before, but they look almost identical and I wear the Varas several times a week and have them in multiple colors because I love them so much! They look great when worn casually but also make for a really great wear-to-work shoe!

Loving II: Gap is currently doing a collaboration with Pendleton. I'm a huge Pendleton fan and who doesn't love a good plaid print in the fall?! Pendleton is always well made and high quality, so I'm excited to check out some of the pieces! I particularly love this plaid shirtdress!

Wanting: It is still pretty warm here in Pittsburgh. We've had a few brief tastes of fall weather, but overall, sweaters and coats are still in waiting. I'm counting down the days until a sweater is comfortable to wear outside!

Wanting II: Louis Vuitton has released 7 new fragrances. Every year around Christmas, I choose a new scent for the new year. This year, my scent is Carven, and I always have Caudalie and Arquiste on hand, too. So maybe 2017 will be a new LV scent!

Pittsburgh-ing: Sharing this photo that I Instagrammed from PNC Park last week-- the sunset was unreal. A reminder of why I love this city so much.

Reading:You can now wallpaper your home with Lilly Pulitzer prints. Yes, it is true and you can read all about it here.

Listening: I embedded my September playlist in last week's post, so this week I am sharing a playlist that I call 'Sunday Mornings'. It isn't really just for Sunday mornings (obviously), but these are calm, but upbeat songs to get your day started or really for dancing in your kitchen as you brew up a pot of coffee and cook up some pancakes and eggs!
