The deets: JOA skirt and top; Zara heels; South Moon Under sunnies & clutch; J.Crew necklace & bracelet.
I helped throw a baby shower for one of my best friends last weekend. When I saw this perfect little baby boy blue, flowy, summery, striped set on Kendi, I knew it had to be mine in time to wear for the party. I immediately scoured the internet, found one in my size, and slapped a two day shipping on it. Love at first sight totally happens via outfits on people you don't know sometimes guys, and it's awesome. And I know I totally cut myself off from buying any more striped dresses but this one is a two piece so it technically doesn't count right? Right.
..Pencil Skirts on the Weekend
August 27, 2013 • Firmoo J.Crew Outfit Post pencil skirt Steve Madden Stripes
The deets: J.Crew pencil and chambray; sunnies c/o Firmoo; Steve Madden wedges (now on super sale!); vintage necklace; South Moon Under earrings; Piperlime clutch; Michael Kors watch; Lancome "Midnight Rose" lipstick.
I have amassed a pretty extensive collection of pencils skirts in the five years that I have been in the workforce. They are brightly colored, printed, and striped. They are not, however, very useful outside of the M-F workday, so after seeing J.Crew (me favs!) put out an absolutely fabulous e-mail ad about wearing them on the weekend, I decided to give it a shot. It actually didn't feel as work-y as I thought! I ran my errands on my day off in perfectly normal pencil skirt style. What do you guys think? Should we let our work clothes out on weekends or no? I say yes as it helps to justify my future purchases (wink wink).
..Summer Work Uniform
July 25, 2013 • banana republic J.Crew J.Crew Factory Outfit Post South Moon Under Stripes Work Style
The deets: J.Crew top (now on sale!) & Cardi; Banana Republic wedges (old); South Moon Under sunnies; Factory skirt; Wet Seal necklace (similar); Michael Kors watch.
During the gorgeous DC summer months this is what you will find me in 90% of the time. A bright pencil, a easy breezy top and maaaybe a cardi in tote for those times when the office gods decide to blast freezing air on us for laughs.
Sidenote: If you are wondering why I look so darn tan in this post please refer to my cheat sheet here (and also magic).
..Bright Stripes
July 15, 2013 • ivanka trump J.Crew michael kors nautical Outfit Post South Moon Under Steve Madden Stripes work wear
The deets: J.Crew blouse (last year) and pencil skirt; Ivanka Trump heels; South Moon Under earrings and sunnies; Steve Madden bag; Michael Kors watch; Revlon "Apricot Blaise" lipstick.
Whenever I wear this top I feel like it's such a fun idea. Then two hours roll around and I begin to feel like I'm missing a squeaky red nose and over-sized shoes. Office attire? Yes. Clown colors? Yes. Office clown?...Maybe. These sunnies were a surprise b-day gift from a bestie and didn't she just do the best job?! I lov'em. Ever since I lost my favorite pair of Ray-Ban's at Seacrets (the place where sunglasses, coherence, and dignity do to die) in Ocean City there has been a little sunglasses void inside of me. Until I can afford to replace them (which probably wont be until my apartment is fully furnished) these are my new favs!
..Pretty Printed Dresses
June 27, 2013 • chevron currently coveting Fashion necessary clothing printed dresses Stripes tribal
How adorable are all these pretty printed dresses? I KNOW. And they all ring in UNDER $35. I might be late to the game but I just discovered Necessary Clothing and had to share with you guys. Above are some of my favorite picks but they have lots of other gems just waiting to be adopted into loving homes. Enjoy!
..Striped Maxis and Rooftops
April 21, 2013 • Color by Amber DV by Dolce Vita fedora Forever 21 Gigee Marie maxi dress Outfit Post ray-ban Stripes
The deets: Wet Seal dress; F21 jacket; Nordstrom fedora (similar); DV Dolce Vita shoes; Gigee Marie clutch; Ray-Ban sunnies; Michael Kors watch; link bracelets c/o Color by Amber.
Rooftop/patio/BBQ season is upon us and nothing compliments it better than a maxi dress. This cozy cotton one only cost me a measly thirteen dollars (if you read this blog regularly you know I have a shopping addiction and the only store within walking distance is Wet Seal), so fun-time penalties like spilling beer and/or dripping mustard all over myself aint no thang.
Also - how cool are these bracelets? They are made from 40% recycled materials so basically I'm helping the planet and accessorizing at the same time and that = WIN WIN!
..Sisterly Love
August 19, 2012 • express Outfit Post Rachel Zoe Rebecca Minkoff Stripes Urban Outfitters
The deets: Top stolen from my sis; Express shorts (old); Rachel Zoe heels; Rebecca Minkoff tote; Urban Outfitters sunnies; eBay necklace.
I had such an awesome time having my sister Kaylin all to myself for a few days down here form NJ. I took off from work for the whole week in between weddings and we lounged by the pool, had not one but TWO amazing Mexican dinners, shopped, got pedis, and just did all the mandatory sisterly things that I miss. You know what one of the best parts of having one is? Getting to raid their closets. I totally stole this top out of her suitcase and she didn't even mind one bit. That's love.
The deets: LOFT shirt and skirt; Seams to Be hat; Betsy Johnson chain necklace.
To my dear friends and family,
WHY HAVEN'T YOU TOLD ME I NEED A STRIPED SHIRT INTERVENTION? Seriously, this is a shot of my laundry pile (I haven't done laundry in longer than I care to admit on the Internets..) which was my immediate wake up call, or I guess they would say if this were a real intervention "when I hit bottom." Where were you guys on this one? I am forbidden to buy another single stripe!
