Hi loves and happy Tuesday! How was everyone’s weekend? I had a big work event on Saturday and it was a smashing success! It is the very best feeling when you and your Team reach the event goal and surprisingly (alarmingly so) nothing goes wrong! For anyone who works in event planning, you know that is a rare gift!

It was absolutely frigid on Friday & Saturday… like bone chilling cold. Who else is sick of being cold all the time?! Good Lord, I sure am. But we’re supposed to creep up into the 60’s this week so I am very excited! And because I’m certain we’ll see another round of snow & cold weather, layers are still a must for this Nebraska girl. I’m yearning for Spring so badly and don’t want to spend an arm and leg on new winter-wear. Like hello, I do not want to buy another coat! I want to splurge on open-toe heels and pastel blouses, ok?!? So to mix practical with fun, I found this perfect gray sweater coat for those transitional winter/spring months! It’s tailored without feeling tight, roomy for layers but not baggy, and is the perfect weight! This coat will be taking me right from cold winter weather into cool spring days! Plus it’s on sale for $14!

Also stepping out of my comfort zone a bit, I paired this black zipper sweatshirt (under $16!) with black moto jeans. I don’t know if it was the lack of creative juices this morning when we were shooting, but I felt simple yet put together. Normally black on black would not feel very Sara-like, but I was feeling this look, girl! And to keep it light and fresh, I added a pastel pink bag, my favorite T-strap nude heels, and some dainty gold jewelry! PS – This black zipper top is super fun! It can zip as high (or as low) as you want, which definitely lends some sass to an otherwise basic piece! I plan to pair it next with distressed boyfriend jeans and a bright heel for a date-night!
