A Few of My Favorite Things





I wanted to share a few of my favorite wardrobe pieces I've been wearing this winter. The dress is Brooks Brothers which I bought for my Christmas Party when I was in a pinch and needed to find something quick. Brooks Brothers always comes through for me! The coat was one of my favorite thrift finds of the season! My current favorite piece of jewelry is my Kiel James Patrick Jacqueline Bouvier pearl bracelet, which is perfect for almost every occasion whether classy or casual!
