Outfit of the Day: Well, This is Exciting.

Hey guys! If you are following our IG account you'll know that I posted a shiny new striped bag that I am super into. I will be very upfront that this bag was given to me by Kate Spade in exchange for talking up their Mother's Day promotion. Please know that I was allowed to chose something that I really liked and this doesn't happen here very often because I am super picky about sponsorship (and also because nobody is sending me loads of free stuff. Madewell! ILU! Call me!) It's just not that kinda blog so when I do have a c/o item, it's going be something I really love. Anyway, off we go:

I'm wearing my awesomely blue Pleione top from TJ Maxx which I love a lot. This one at Nordstrom is the same blue but with a really cute gathered waist. This Pleione top is reeeeallly similar to mine but doesn't come in the bright blue. Dang. However! I found this one by Gibson that's a dead ringer. Also, I scoured TJM and found this bright blue top for under $15! 

I'm also wearing my Everlane skinny ponte pants which I kind of forgot about? I bought them last fall and they don't really work with ankle boots so I just stopped wearing them for the winter. Luckily they still fit me because I've been wearing them quite a bit. Shhhh...don't tell Marianne but I've been pondering a pair of Everlane white boyfriend jeans because...maybe? I should probably stick to Madewell. I do want some white boyfriend jeans or maybe a demi boot? We'll see. 

I threw on my Universal Thread denim jacket which I am seriously so glad I bought. It's just a perfect layer for this time of year and half the time I'll wear it to work and then just keep it on all day because it's mad comfy. GET ONE. SERIOUSLY. $30! You will not regret it. Go go go.  On to details: 

This BAG y'all. It's the Kate Spade Washington Square Mega Sam and it's a perfect warm weather tote. Striped canvas and leather trim, are you kidding me? It's a roomy bag with two inside pockets, two outside pockets and leather ties at the top. It's so fresh! I am really enjoying a break from my usual droopy leather hobo. This bag is part of Kate Spade's Mother's Day gift guide (which I'll be exploring more later in the week) and you can get 20% off with code MDAY18.  Lest I forget, my necklace is a SOKO Paddle Pendant and it's just so good. There's also a petite version which, dammit. 

Another shot of the KS bag AND what is that on my feet? Why those would be gold Sam Edelman flats. I move fast, ya'll. I bought these on Poshmark when my first choice sold out and even though I was convinced they wouldn't spark joy, I've been quite happy with them. (They have zero support but they are ballet flats so really, why would you expect them to?)
