What?! Two looks in one post?! YES. And there’s leopard.

This leopard-print pajama-style blouse is another recent purchase from the French sustainable brand Balzac Paris (check out my earlier review here). I didn’t wear it 2 days in a row, but I did wear it twice within a couple weeks, happened to get photos of both outfits, so I figured why not post both looks together?

This way you get to see how versatile it is. You can wear it with jeans, or…with different jeans.

But you must admit – other than the denim, these are two very different outfits. One I wore to work (casual Friday), and the other I wore to play outside at the zoo. Option 1: concrete jungle. Option 2: actual jungle.

The wide leg jeans are from Madewell, and even though I don’t shop there much anymore since resolving to be more eco-friendly, I still say buy any jeans you really love, and then wear them enough to make it worth the buy.

These Stuart Weitzman pumps, on the other hand, I scored secondhand for twenty-six dollars. If you’re less patient and have money to spare, check out these.

And there you have it. One shirt, two (sort of similar) ways.

You know what happens when a cheap store does a collaboration with a famous designer? People wait in line at dawn or set an alarm to shop online in the middle of the night, and they buy a bunch of stuff without thinking because they’re afraid everything will sell out. #buyallofthethings

That’s exactly what happened with the Phillip Lim for Target line last fall. Remember the obsession over the bags? Oh man. Anyway, I was one of those people waiting in line at Target, and that’s when I got this dress that is in no way a closet staple. BUT. Can I just point out that I have now worn it in 3 different seasons?

Take that, impulse buying! If I can make it work for fall, I’ll take that as a sign that everything I ever want to buy is a good decision.
