CONDO UPDATE: BEDROOM

*all photos by myself for the casual classic

If you have been following my blog for a while, you probably know that I promised to post finished pictures of the condo when I did my first post on "the beginning stages". When I did so, I didn't think it would take me literally 7 months to follow through on my promise. It took a while, but I finally got my bedroom decor to the point where I was ready to take some photos! That and the fact that my damn bed was back ordered for almost 6 months - talk about a long wait!

My bedroom is a room that I like to be very cozy, peaceful and bright. My condo has windows that face the East, meaning I get all the morning sunlight, which I absolutely love. As you probably know, I'm a big neutral person, which is why my color palette consists of grays, tans, and shades of white. I can't help it! These colors are just so calming and peaceful, they make me so happy!

I've tried to list where I found everything in the photos below, but let me know if there is something you are looking for, and I'll do my best to find it!

STARBURST

Equipment Ava Top // Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans // Charles Jourdan Pumps (identical here) // Clutch (old, similar here and here) // Loren Hope Sarra Cuff

Equipment has very quickly become my go-to for silk shirts and shirt dresses. Their quality is fantastic, and the material feels like butter against your skin. I can't say enough good things about their colors and prints too. I have yet to find a company that compares. This print is next on my list to buy.

So here is the deal with this Equipment top: I saw it at the SoHo store during my NYC Christmas trip, and immediately fell in love. If you didn't notice, in the middle of every starburst is one small crystal. (Side note: this is actually called the "wicked eye" print, but I like the sound of starburst so much more). The detail on this top is absolutely gorgeous. I decided immediately that this would be the perfect New Year's Eve shirt... but that didn't end up happening. This baby was just a little out of my budget. Now what you guys don't know about me is that I very VERY rarely buy something full price. I decided to patiently wait for this gorgeous top to go on sale, and as soon as it did, it was immediately mine.

Of course, for some reason it's no longer on sale and why that is, I have zero clue. Equipment doesn't put their pieces on sale often, so make sure you consistently check the sale section on their website. Their friends and family sale just ended too, so I hope you all got to grab some goodies!

A special thanks to Morgan for taking these photos for me.
