Since I’ve been home for the last month, I haven’t been blogging as much—I tend to do that when I’m less stressed, remember?—but have attempted some small increases in my closet, beginning with my employee-discounted items from BCBGMAXAZRIA. I’ve made a goal to work on my accessories (jewelry, belts, scarves, bags) the most this summer, as in south Florida it’s inappropriate to carry your possessions in university-labeled canvas totes (it’s hobo chic though, amirite?), but also nail down some quality basics to mix future pieces with. Below are three starter items I recently purchased from BCBG—unfortunately for my wallet, the first mini-haul of many. Did I mention the summer collection is nearly flawless? See for yourself.

Simone Skirt in Dill, BCBGMAXAZRIA.

Silk Kelsey top in White, BCBGMAXAZRIA. 

Black snake-print leather ring, BCBGMAXAZRIA. (Note: this is more of a cocktail/statement ring since its diameter is gigantic, but gorgeous nonetheless. Wish I could find a picture of its face, so I’ll have to post one on my own in a look of the day post)

So excited to put my new goodies into action and add to the collection—all the while whining and rationalizing, “but it’s with my discooouuuuunnnnt…” 

Hakaan Papaver Trousers, $1,660, on ShopBop.

Look at these supergoddess wonders! The man-repelling powers are almost overwhelming—both skinny pants and an attached cape skirt? Gimme, gimme!
