Meet Scalawag // Black & White Beauty

Today The Creative Closet is linking up 'Black & White Beauty' looks. So I thought, what better time to introduce our new, black and white kitten, Scalawag?! Well, briefly before the outfit post anyhow. :)

He is 6 months old, has a sweet little wink, and a big, cuddly personality. We adopted him a little over a week ago, and he is adjusting to our apartment (read: Duchess) pretty well. :)

They cuddle a little, and play pretty rough. But it's sweet, and I think she will be very glad she has a friend someday soon! :) - I could say more, and I probably will later.... but for now.....

....on to the fashion part! :) 

Since I'm introducing Scali... why not keep it cat themed? I thought I would use these old pictures from my very first fashion post, 'Black Cat'.

I love this look. It's really simple and clean. The leather tights, black and white oxfords, and printed scarf keep it from being too basic though! 

Blazer: TJMaxx, $30 - Old

T-shirt: J Crew Factory, $12 (sale price) (buy here)

Cat Print Scarf: Icing, $18 - Old

Faux Leather Leggings: Target, $25  - Old

We are heading to Nashville soon, and are super excited! :) 

I hope you all are having a great week so far! :) 

What is your favorite way to wear black and white?

Do you have any tips on getting cats to play together / adjust to one another?! 

XO,

Black Cat // My First Fashion Post!

I have been wanting to get some fashion posts together for a while... but just hadn't had time/energy/motivation... ;) Until now!

A few things you should know about me (or will find out quickly in these posts): 

1) Blazers are the most worn items in my closet
2) I have an unhealthy amount of scarves
3) I'm a bargain shopper. We're on a budget so it's good that I am naturally one of those dig around, mix it up, garage sale-ing, wear it until it's falling apart kind of people!
4) I looooove little vintage touches in an outfit!

So here you have it, my first full blown fashion post! I hope you like it! I thought it was Halloween week appropriate. :)

(but really much less once you think of how long I've had the jacket etc. ;))

At the beginning of the school year I really wanted something with a graphic cat print on it. I don't really know why.. but I was on a mission! After a day at the mall I finally(!) came across this cute scarf. I think it's super fun, and luckily still in stock (follow the link above)!

Also, I live in these leggings... so advance apologies for many many outfit posts including them. :) Anybody else obsessed?!?

I'm linking up with Danielle & Andi for Blazer week! You can linkup here! :)

Thanks for reading and Happy Halloween week!

All for now,

Alexandra
