Outfit: Topshop textured stripe sweatshirt dress (only $55!) / Rebecca Minkoff ‘Mini MAB’ crossbody bag / Converse ‘Chuck Taylor’ sneakers / Kendra Scott ‘Rayne’ tassel necklace

Outfit: Too Faced Born this Way foundation in ‘Ivory’ / Bobbi Brown bronzing powder in ‘Golden Light’  (recent purchase!) / Dior ‘2-in-1 Prime & Conceal’ in ’02’/ Anastasia ‘Brow Wiz’ eyebrow pencil in ‘Dark Brown’ / Urban Decay ‘Naked’ eye palette / Make Up For Ever mascara / NARS blush in ‘Dolce Vita’

That’s why I love this black and white striped sweatshirt dress. I made a vow to bare legs from here on out (no more tights or leggings!), so the hint of texture and the long sleeves are just what I need to stay warm. Another thing that’s carrying over from to winter to spring with me: my recent affinity for neutrals. On the days where I need a little break from bold and bright colors, I love the simplicity and modernity of a monochromatic look. Like I said – balance is key!
