Happy Monday!!

I hope everyone is doing amazing! As the summer comes to a close I find myself questioning weather or not to invest in certain items. It is time to start thinking about our cooler-weather wardrobe , but sometimes it is just TOO hard to pass up on certain pieces (hint: today’s tank!!!)

I feel like it has been forever since I have put a new outfit post up on the blog, but I couldn’t be more excited to share how this ‘girls’ knit top purchase can be justified and worn right into the fall and winter.

When it comes to autumn dressing…layers are key…so what makes a tank top any different? For this one in particular, I would add either a black bodysuit underneath, a snug fitting turtleneck or long-sleeve top.

Today, I have it paired with vintage inspired jeans with white eyelet details, and pink patent pumps for an unexpected GIRLy pop. A pink and brown suede bag mixed with silver and black jewelry acts as a perfect combo between street and chic. Shop today’s look below:

With summer coming to a close and fall right around the corner we all have one thing in mind…transitional dressing. Sometimes it can be the worst especially when it comes to shoes!!

When I think about shifting into fall, I start to wear more neutrals. It is important to remember there are more neutrals than just your black, gray, and beige shades. Think olive green, mustard yellow, burgundy, etc.

It is still very hot out so I am sticking to cooler clothing for now. When the temperature starts to change, a silk romper like the one I am wearing today can easily be paired with an oversized sweater.

With summer coming to end, there are some really great deals out there.  Starting with Intermix, now 50% off sale, check it out.  I was able to get these great sandals for only $64.00. I found this J.O.A. Varsity mesh sweater at Urban Outfitters and these adorable print trousers were from Zara. Putting this outfit together was so easy...I just added a tank from Banana Republic and jewelry by Chan Luu and Alexis Bittar. Hair up in a pony and my new monster bag for a touch of fun. I found this outfit to be perfect for a day when I'm running errands. Casual, fun and comfortable...unfortunately these items are already gone but I have found similar items I have listed below to make it easy.  I also thought you might like a couple recommendations which are favorites of mine just in case you might be thinking of a warm weather get away as the seasons begin to change. Selections go quickly so get them while you can...

Happy Shopping!!

Fine Print

Every time you “have nothing to wear” are your black and white pieces your go-to?! I know for me I feel like I can always depend on my all black or all white outfit’s last minute. There is something faultless and reassuring about simple black and white and todays outfit combines the two.

 After purchasing my first Tanya Taylor piece last fall, I fell in love with the line.  There is something very feminine and chic about her garments. I love this dress in particular not only because of the fine print, but because of the style as well. It is almost trendy and elegant at the same time with the A-line hem and the cut-out shoulders. I added my black and white contrast leather pumps and went for a little jewelry change…switching up my usual Yurman chain for my Alexis Bitter crescent necklace. 

Leather & Lace

Dress:Alice & Olivia| Sandals: Stuart Weitzman

Before going to the Bahamas in May I had originally bought the Stuart Weitzman gladiator sandals with the side zipper and elastic straps in the back… however, I ended up returning them because the straps didn’t fit my leg properly (a constant shoe struggle of mine). On my last visit to the city I found the “Backview Sandal” (photographed above) and they are the perfect addition to my wardrobe. Not only do they fit better with the adjustable straps, they are a chic cross between a boot and the popular gladiator sandal. They give a funky and more rebellious look to any outfit. The cutouts make a simple black dress like this Alice & Olivia one look fierce, and I love the combination of the bold leather with the dainty lace. I layered a few of my favorite Chan Luu necklaces with my crescent shaped Alexis Bittar because in this case…more is more.
