Last week, the folks at Madewell UTC invited me to have a little Insider Event with a few of my friends to view their new spring looks.  Bianca of The Inbetween Girls and Laura of Laura Neuzeth joined me for a fun evening of shopping.  I was especially excited about the wonderful new tees that I saw because they’re simple yet chic.  Thankfully, this Insider Event provided me with my last haul before my Catholic service of giving up shopping for Lent.  So I’ll be “shopping” in my closet and doing quite of bit of re-mixing until Easter.  It’s a nice challenge because I want to feel inspired without having to constantly buy something new (although I will admit that it is fun).   Thank you Lauryn and Joseph at Madewell UTC for setting up the event, and special thanks to Ashley and Courtney for showing Bianca, Laura and me a great time that evening!

The tee I was going to get, but…

I decided on the following: the linen Paris stencil muscle tee (which runs big, I’m wearing a small) and the Tête-à-Tête tee (seen below in medium, but I could not locate it online).  I also purchased the Inlet Cardigan in Colorblock (at the time was on sale for $49.50), Skinny Skinny jeans in cream (on sale for $24), and the Braided Geochain Bracelet in true black (not pictured).

Afterwards, we all had coffee together before Bianca had to leave.  Then Laura and I bought more macarons to take home from Lette Macarons La Jolla (their kiosk is pictured below) because we loved them at the event.  Now, I’m completely addicted to their macarons, especially the Salted Caramel ones.
