Opening Ceremony jacket
Cheap Monday sweater from Alter
Levi's Jeans
Nanette Lepore handbag
Vintage two-tone pumps
Thrifted ring + silver chain necklace 


Although Lauren will deny it, it's rare to see the girl in jeans. This is where our closets diverge... drastically. I have 30 pairs of jeans. Ok, I don't wear all of them--and especially not since Lauren's closet was introduced into my life--but for the most part I am a skinny-jean-wearing type of girl in the fall/winter. Cut-off jeans in the spring/summer. I even have a black denim romper I break out when I want to channel my inner 50s pinup. I can't help it. But with Lauren's help I've been introducing more dressy pieces into my wardrobe and the result is, Lauren has made me look more like the adult my age would imply.

Lauren, on the other hand, already has more dresses and skirts bursting from her closet (paired with sky high platform heels) than I think she knows what to do with. That's why it's such a head-turner when I see her in loose-fitting denim and kitten heels. I also convinced her to let me give her a side braid and, voila! The entire look is one of my faves.

Pssst. Much, much love if you vote for The Marcy Stop here in the R29 Style Blogger contest. <3

    Love this outfit. The shape of the jacket is incredible. Also, totally love the shoes and big necklace.

    I'm completely with you on the jeans thing - they are my complete staple. No matter how many dresses and skirts I buy I still always stick to my skinny jeans. They're just the easiest. xx
