Everyone is probably well aware by now that I am obsessed with silk, or anything that looks silky. I talk about it all the time, and wear my Aritzia silk camisoles over and over… and over. I was able to score the perfect oversized silk top from Zara’s winter sale, so I debuted it at the IKEA Pre-Spring ’17 event not too long ago.
It was a little chilly outside, so I paired my ensemble with a faux fur teddy bear-style coat from Zara, also scored during their winter sale. You guys…it’s seriously like wearing a blanket. Or a sheepskin area rug (to go with the whole IKEA theme, of course). I decided that I wanted to make the look a little more casual, so I wore the silk top with AEO Denim X Hi-Rise Jegging in Shredder Indigo from American Eagle, and perforated mules.
Mules had a big moment in 2016, and they don’t seem to be losing momentum anytime soon. I was always a little skeptical about rocking them, but I finally took the plunge and got these really cute Women’s Sam & Libby Hillary Mule Booties from Target. I don’t know why I didn’t try them sooner – slipping on shoes that aren’t flip flops is genius when you’re in desperate need of a pedicure, and you don’t want to be bothered with intricate zippers or laces.
I didn’t get to capture the details of the shirt, but I left the first three or so buttons undone and wore a delicate Y-chain necklace to compliment the delicacy of the silk fabric. I wanted to go the extra mile and leave more buttons undone to reveal my bralette, but I didn’t think IKEA was ready for all of that on a Friday evening.
The event itself was really fun and I thought it was well put together! Most of my pictures are already up on my Instagram. I can’t wait to re-decorate my room with some pieces from there.
I hope you lovelies have an amazing week! Be fabulous, and wear what makes you feel fabulous.
