Layers + Lace

Hello and happy Tuesday to you! My apologies for no blog posts on Friday or yesterday- we're currently undergoing a major renovation at Finicky Filly (aka my office) and the store is closed, so things are pretty much cray right now. I'm working remotely this week and we also just launched a giant project that I have a big part in, so I'm currently going a million miles a minute with work (and honestly loving every minute of it). Sufficient to say, the blog has to take a back burner, but I'm okay with that for the time being. I hope you can forgive me/understand. :)

 Anywayssss- This past Saturday I was so excited to finally be reunited with my bestie Emily of Cooper & Thames. We started the day at St. Alban having coffee with Gillian (who is the absolute sweetest!) then went about our usual Charleston routine of eating (Lee Lee's Hot Kitchen = A+), shopping (basically everywhere on King), and exploring (random streets South of Broad).  I never could have predicted that starting a blog would lead to meeting one of my best friends, but I'm beyond thankful it did! Em, you da best - especially for agreeing to play photographer!

This outfit has been on serious repeat over the past few weeks and I have no complaints. I found the sweatshirt, lace-trimmed tee, and marble ring in J. Crew's sale section all at fabulous discounts and have already gotten my moneys worth a hundred times over. They're both so comfortable and laid-back, but still chic and relevant at the same time. Elevated basics = my fashion bread and butter right now. Take a look-

Emily and I pretty much cracked up the entire time we took these. I have no idea how bloggers can be serious while taking these outfit photos on the reg- I felt so silly and as a result we ended up with lots of pictures like these...  

Such a fun day with the only girl who gets the blogger/social media part of my life. What pieces are on heavy rotation in your closet right now? I'd love to know!
