Designer Dupe & Denim Favorites

Hello there!
Yes, I braved the MN cold to get some blog pictures. I don't know if this is a universal sentiment, but after the holidays I am over the snow. It stops being whimsical and magical, and just becomes a nuisance. I had the basically ice skate to this spot in these heels, and almost snapped my ankle. Perhaps these white heeled booties weren't my best choice. Luckily I  lived to tell the tale so I can tell you about this outfit. A worthy cause, right? 

LoveShackFancy is one of my very favorite designers, which is a shame because there stuff is not for people in my tax bracket! But I just adore their sort of unabashedly feminine designs, and I am always on the hunt for comparable pieces. So when I saw this sweet sweater from Poppywells, I couldn't pass it up! 

I'm craving my springtime florals and ruffles, and this sweater is perfect since it is still clearly freezing in Minnesota. Florals, ruffles, puff sleeves- all of the elements of a very me piece. I paired it with this pair of straight fit jeans from Express, which have been an unexpected favorite! I picked them up in a New Year's sale for $18, and they have quickly become my new go-to's. I'm liking the lighter wash heading into spring, and the rose gold buttons are a nice touch! They're linked with everything else on my LTK.
Send me your warmest thoughts,
