Wintry Layers

January 12, 2015

Shen Dove | Wintry Layers 1

Coat: Macy’s | Sweater: Old Navy | Skirt: Old Navy | Boots: F21 | Bag: H&M | Sunglasses: F21

First outfit post of the year! It’s been a while.  I realized recently that my sweater collection was pretty diminished, so when I saw this sweater in Old Navy on the clearance rack while looking to spend a holiday gift card, I picked it up.  The recent frigid temps in Philly makes me realize, it might be a good idea to invest in a couple more sweaters to keep me warm until Spring…Wintry layers are a must right now.

Style vs. Comfort

January 27, 2014

Shen Dove Style | Kimono Style

Kimono style shirt: UO // Jeans: UO (old) // Boots: F21 (old) // Hat: AA

Happy Monday!  Hope you all had a restful weekend.  I certainly did.  Winter has really asserted itself this year.  So though I love style, I refuse to sacrifice style for warmth and comfort. It may look like I walk around with no coat on, but I promise you my coat is right outside of the frame of all of these photos!

I’ve also been reaching for black a lot lately.  I know when spring (finally!) arrives, I’ll be wearing more bright colors, prints and maybe even some pastels, but for now, black clothing and accessories are welcome additions to my outfits.  Stay warm!

 Plaid + Black | Shen Dove Style 3

Shirt: Old Navy (similar) // Jeans: UO–old (similar) // Bag: H&M // Necklace: H&M // Ankle boots: Target

Happy MLK Day!  My temporary hair change randomly coincided with the national holiday.  I make it a point to read some of Dr. King’s writings around this time each year and bookmark a few of my favorite Dr. King quotes.  One that of the many quotes by Dr King that resonates with me today is:  “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is what are you doing for others?” -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It’s a good reminder to think about service and the small ways we can help others not just on MLK Day, but all year.  Do you have a favorite quote by Dr. King?

Leather & Dots

Shen Dove Style | Dots & Leather

J. Crew Top: thrifted (similar) // Leather Skirt: swapped (similar) //

Coach Vintage Bag: thrifted // Necklace: H&M (similar) // Heels: Payless

Instead of opting for my usual black pencil skirt, I opted to substitute it with my rarely worn leather skirt.  This leather skirt adds just a touch of fun to my usual skirt/shirt work outfit. As much as I love color, I never tire of wearing the occasional all-black look.
