Classic Herringbone

April 15, 2016

I’ll definitely be ready when the time comes to fully put away my winter clothes — seriously, I’m dreaming about the beach already — but I am a bit excited for one last go round with my vests. They’ve been perfect lately with how crazy the weather’s been between the early morning and midday.

What Nicole Wore: Classic Herringbone — shop the post: westwood leaning sunglasses c/o ditto {use code whatnicolewore to try one month free of charge} + brooks brothers shirt {similar here | also seen here} + j crew factory herringbone vest {sold out, similar linked | also seen here} + dressbarn dark blue jeggings {also seen here} + clarks shoes flats {also seen here} + kendra scott black druzy necklace {also seen here} + yellow beaded statement necklace {also seen here} + madewell transport tote {similar options under $50 and under $30 | also seen here} + pink lipstick + nail polish

I have a huge problem with getting up way too late for work; it’s more of an ‘ignoring my alarm’ problem that usually results in my hopping out of bed 10-15 minutes before I need to leave my house and attempting to cram in 30 minutes worth of primping. #TheStruggleIsReal

One of the ways I’ve found to combat this {and allow myself a few extra minutes of shut eye without feeling guilty} is to pull and set aside items in my closet that are easy to wear. For me, a white oxford is a must have. While you won’t see me wearing mine every week, it is a closet staple that I can always have faith in. On any given day, for any given occasion, my white button down can be grabbed, quickly styled, and I know that it will look great. The fact that this one is a no-iron just makes it better. These shirts can be tucked into a pencil skirt, worn with dress pants or dressed down with colorful chino shorts or jeans.

My biggest keys lately to looking a little more put together on the fly is accessorizing and adding in a bright lip. My latest pair of sunglasses from DITTO are these fun Westwood Leaning pair that have tortoise frames and funky blue mirrored lenses. They make making a statement look and feel easy.

My black druzy necklace from Kendra Scott is probably my most frequently worn jewelry item. It looks great alone or layered and the black druzy goes with everything. I pulled it on in addition to a bold yellow necklace that I haven’t been able to get enough of lately. I ordered this necklace in four different colors and have thrown them on so often since they got here. The multiple lengths within the necklace make it easy to wear with any neckline. I liked how the yellow really popped against this neutral outfit.

I’ve raved about my Transport Tote before but I was drawn to this bag because of the gorgeous color and up top interior pocket. I usually zip my keys and phone up top in the pocket {along with my extra plastic spoons and forks — a girl can never be too prepared} which gives me some freedom to throw all the

New Warby Parker Sunglasses! #SeeSummerBetter

April 12, 2016

I’m super excited to pop in today to share some exciting news; Warby Parker just launched their new summer collection of sunglasses today! There are brand new frames, new colors to snag them in as well as a few timeless fan favorites that have returned to the starting lineup.

Warby Parker truly captured the spirit of summer with this collection and drew inspiration from brain freezes, that sand that just seems to keep appearing in your bag, barbecues, long days at the pool, beach hair and summer picnics. Sunglasses are a must have accessory when taking in everything summer has to offer and the new collection offers a frame for every style. The new Crystal and Grapefruit Soda color options present a very mod, futuristic vibe; Belize Blue gives a strong and bold punch to your frames and while the color clearly has a masculine influence, it still is a shade that can be worn by anyone.

My personal favorite new hue, Sand Castle, is a tortoise that mimics wood, giving a very neutral look to your sunglasses {you can wear them with anything!} while still being super unique and eye-catching.

Are you near a Warby Parker store? You may want to stop by on an upcoming Friday as they are doing all sorts of fun things like live performances from local bands, lemonade stands, custom lens cloths and more.

All of the lenses come with polarization, are UV protected, {bonus, if you’re like me and find yourself dropping your shades in your beach bag throughout the summer} scratch resistant AND probably the coolest thing about them — every time you purchase a pair of frames a pair is donated to someone in need.

Frames start at just $95. Which pair do you love?

Thank you to Warby Parker for partnering with me on this post. I love being able to work with brands to create fresh, new content for What Nicole Wore. As always, all opinions presented are my own.

Derby Days: Pink for Kentucky Oaks

April 11, 2016

With 25 days until Oaks Day, today’s look is inspired by the annual Friday race that will be here before we know it. Each year a pink out is held, as I shared in my last Derby post. I decided to go with a pink fascinator and accessories with a white dress.

Derby Days: Pink for Kentucky Oaks — shop the post: white dress c/o shein {also available in red and blue, under $25} + cut out wedge sandals {on sale, also available in black | also seen here} + fascinator {under $12 with 2 day prime shipping & available in orange, similar option available in more colors} + necklace {also seen here} + clutch {also seen here} + nail polish + lipstick {mixed a little bit of this in the middle} + kylie cosmetics lip liner + blush

This fascinator is by far one of my favorites that I ordered: under $12, free two day shipping, and tulle, pom poms, fun netting and feathers?! I was sold! Sadly, it’s sold out in pink, but I’ve linked a similar option that also doesn’t break the bank and shows up on your door step in two days.

My pink clutch and multi strain hot pink beaded necklace seemed like the perfect choices in my head so I was thrilled when they matched my fascinator. I went with a brown-nude matte lipstick that’s super affordable, but I wanted it to appear a little pinker than usual, so I applied it over my Kylie lip liner in Posie K. I broke down and ordered one of the lip kits a few weeks ago because I was curious after watching some YouTube videos where the quality was said to be much better than the ColourPop mattes I wear quite a bit.

I have to say that I agree with the beauty gurus; the formula of her liquid lipstick isn’t drying which is rare to find with a matte lipstick and has incredible lasting power. Typically, I find myself up a creek without a paddle if I eat after applying matte lipstick. It runs, it smears easily and it needs to be reapplied. Unfortunately, with ColourPop, I’ve found that reapplication leads to a crumbly lip that isn’t very attractive.

Kylie’s lipstick lasts through drinking, eating {non-oily foods}, washing your face, etc. {If you’re wondering how to remove, I use coconut oil!}. She is re-stocking several of the mattes as well as her glosses {which I haven’t tried yet} today at 3 pm EST, if you’re interested in trying to order a kit.

SheIn is one of my favorite places to look for trendy and affordable pieces. Right now I have my eye on some of these pretty pieces:

How gorgeous is the back of this dress?! While I’m usually drawn to blue, I ended up ordered this in white. I love the way the back attaches together at the top before opening up down to the waist. This dress is lined in the front of the torso portion and the skirt of the dress has a light lining as well. While the top was fine with the very light lining {I’m wearing this sticky bra}, the lining of the skirt wasn’t enough with my darker skin so I pulled out this mini length slip {under $10, I’m wearing latte}. If you don’t own a slip, I would highly recommend purchasing one as mine comes in handy pretty frequently during the spring and summer months.

Full out bringing the sass today in dark matte lipstick and some new neutrals for spring.

IG Roundup

April 7, 2016

This Instagram roundup was starting to get a little lengthy so I decided to go ahead and publish it today so it doesn’t get too out of hand AND because some of my favorite items lately are part of Shopbop’s 25% off sale that ends today. I’ve noted them for you below.

What Nicole Wore: IG Roundup — shop the photo: double hooded striped sweatshirt c/o + dark skinny jeans + orange nike women sneakers + prada sunglasses c/o {budget friendly option} + orange michael kors purse {on sale for $133 with code INTHEFAM} + nail polish

These brown wedges are super comfortable. I love a low heel because in all honesty, I’m horrible at walking in a stiletto. This heel is cute and makes your legs look longer without being dangerously {at least for me} high.
