A Little Feminine // A Little Edgy

I am usually not a huge florals person but I absolutely adore this dress. I like the combination of the super feminine fit with the edgy mesh overlay. It kind of makes the dress a little more edgy for those of us who normally wouldn’t wear a full on floral dress!

I often like to combine super feminine and girlie looks with more edgy pieces. A great way to do this is to throw a leather jacket over a cute little blush dress, or pair black booties with a flowy top!

How do you guys like to combine styles in your daily outfits?

Transitioning

Happy Friday! Not sure about you but this week flew by for me! I have slowly but surely been incorporating fall pieces into my wardrobe lately. This balloon sleeve top is a perfect piece to add to your wardrobe now and wear all fall long! This weekend I am going to pair it with cut off shorts and sandals to help deal with this heat! Keep reading for a few ways to incorporate summer fashion into your fall wardrobe!

Invest in pieces that you can layer. What I mean by this is invest in tops and blouses that are easy enough to layer a jacket over or to add an extra layer of warmth underneath. read more

Get Fall Ready

best items from nordstrom anniversay sale 2017

Every once in a while you come across something that you know you must have in your closet! That is how I felt when I saw this jacket! I remember originally seeing it last fall but then every time I went to order it, it was sold out in my size! Major sad face. Fast forward to this year and it’s a part of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale – annnd they had my size. There was a little hunting involved as I had ordered it for pickup at my local Nordstrom and then after I already ordered it they cancelled my order because they no longer had it in store! Anyhow, long story short…I called and they actually DID have one left in my size and put it on hold for me (even though they aren’t supposed to during the sale!) and I rushed over there, baby in tow, and got myself the jacket. I love the embroidery detail and I’ve found it is the perfect way to jazz up some black skinnies and a t-shirt. read more

Menswear Inspired

how to style a shirtdressWhen getting dressed lately I’ve found myself reaching for a shirtdress more days than not. It’s one of those easy-to-style pieces year round and you can totally dress them up or dress them down! For spring or summer I love to pair a chic shirtdress with a cute pair of sneakers while running errands. Or, if you want to dress it up a little more you could add sandals or booties like I did. When fall hits you can have a little bit more fun! I love throwing a leather jacket over a simple shirt dress and then wearing some flat over-the-knee suede boots. Pile on a chunky scarf and you will feel oh so cozy and look chic as ever at the same time. how to style a shirtdresshow to style a shirtdress how to style a shirtdress read more

Mixing Styles

how to wear a romper for summer

I’ve always been a big fan of mixing in vintage items with new items or high-end items with super affordable pieces. I feel like this outfit is the epitome of all of that. For instance, my bag is vintage Chanel circa 1980- something or other and my romper is under $20! I love collecting items that I know will fit into my wardrobe for a long time to come and then I can purchase fun seasonal items and sprinkle them in! how to wear a romper for summer
