When life gets busy for me, I tend to gravitate towards neutrals and add a pop of color with statement earrings.  This outfit was something quick that I put on the other day but got so many compliments on that I had to share.  You may recognize this womens trench coat from this post but I’ve been wearing it nonstop — it’s the perfect lightweight layer for those chilly mornings and the scallop detail is just too good!  Plus, it’s on sale so really you can’t lose.  Club Monaco is a store that I’ve only recently started frequenting more as one just popped up at my local mall, and I’ve found so many classic pieces that have become my favorites!  I just love how the style is clean and minimal yet have subtle details that give it a modern twist (you guys might remember this white Club Monaco skirt that I’ve styled previously!).  Their current selection of trench coats is seriously amazing and I’ve linked up a few that caught my eye below:

Meanwhile, it’s storming outside as I’m writing this and I wanted to just kind of share a bit of what’s I’ve been up to lately.

• I went out after work today to catch up with a girlfriend I haven’t seen in to months and it’s left me feeling fulfilled and reinvigorated!  Any of you moms dinner out there know how precious a night out without the kids can be so I definitely took enjoyed every minute of uninterrupted adult conversation that I could (plus some amazing wine + tuna poke appetizer from Public School 972!).
• I’ve been lazy about my hair lately and just ran across The Sleep Styler over on Instagram.  I love the idea of not having my hair curled in my sleep and just be ready to go in the mornings!  Have any of you guys tried this?
• You guys all know that I’m obsessed with The Chainsmokers.  Their latest album just dropped and while I was a bit skeptical of the more ballad-like songs initially, it’s really grown on me and I can’t stop listening to it (“Don’t Say” is a new fave!).
• On the health front, I started taking this collagen powder about a month ago (I’ve been adding progressively more each morning to my coffee or green smoothie) and I feel like it’s starting to make a difference!  My skin has seemed more radiant lately and the texture is definitely a lot smoother.
• This might be a little TMI, but last weekend I also had my first Brazilian wax (swimsuit season is around the corner!) and it actually wasn’t bad at all!  I went to the Red Door Spa for my service as they’re having 20% off all waxing services right now (including eyebrows too!) with code GSFANMAR4.  If you’re in Dallas, be sure to ask for Cezanne as she has a few tricks to make it not hurt!

 

Earrings: Baublebar ‘Merengue’ (similar, similar)

You need to get on the pre-order list for these earrings!  They’re so fun and the mix of colors actually makes it so easy to pair with every outfit.  I’ve linked up a few more statement earrings that I’m loving below:
