How to Make a Dressy Piece Casual

Dress: Eliza J. (old, Nordstrom); Vest: Target (Who What Wear brand); Shoes: very old (Shoemint); Knot Bangle: Kate Spade; White /Gold Bangle: Vintage; Clutch: Target; Ring & Earrings: Charming Charlie

Ok so technically this isn't casual, but it's definitely a chic and stylish way to re-wear a special event dress. I love this yellow bejeweled dress I bought for a wedding from Nordstrom a couple years ago, and felt bad it was just wasting away in my closet. I was playing around with this vest pairing it over different pieces in my closet (which a good vest can be worn year-round with so many different looks) and I loved the color combo of the olive green and yellow. I paired some neutral accessories for a look I would rock out to dinner, going out downtown, or switch out the heels for nude strappy flats and wear it for a weekend look.

Casual Friday Cute

Jacket: American Eagle / Top: Express / Jeans: NYDJ / Shoes: Target / Bag: Nordstrom 

I'm lucky enough to work in a law office that is super casual since business pants and blouses are so not me. When I wear jeans, I like to pair a cute top with either a sweater or a jacket, and this spring/summer I'm all about a soft jacket. This particular one, I wear with so many things and it always looks good because of the fitted, tailored shape. This jacket is pretty old from American Eagle, so when I see pieces like this, I make sure to scoop them up!

Fall-ing for Autumn Neutrals

Dress: Bloom Boutique / Vest: Old Navy / Booties: Joe's Jeans / Hat: Nordstrom / Bag: Kate Spade

 

How beautiful is this school campus?! I felt like I was in the south with the big, brick buildings and tree-lined walkway's. It was the perfect backdrop for a fall, neutral look featuring a midi-dress and simply chic accessories.This dress is a light olive green color with mock-neck and open back in a stretch knit that made it perfect for twirling in the leaves! On Wednesday I'll share how I switched up my accessories for a second look.

Bell Sleeves & Boho Vibes

Dress: Forever 21 / Hat: Nordstrom / Booties: Dolce Vita / Bag: Rebecca Minkoff / Jewlery: Bauble Bar / Nail Polish: Zoya 'Casey'

Another fabulous, pre-fall look that I can't wait to layer up come chilly temps. My love for boho style can be seen throughout all the seasons in my outfits, so when it comes time to layer up, I will add on a suede moto jacket, a fringe bag, and my brown suede knee-high boots that lace up the front for a boho-licious look. Another way I will style this is with a long sweater, lace-up flats and a hat! Bell sleeves are a huge trend this fall, and while the boho look is pretty much always in, this year I'll be channeling a chic, laid-back '70's prairie-rocker chic vibe.

Craving fall and all it's layering glory, I will be putting together a collage of the standard pieces I go to for my fall wardrobe, coming soon!

Make a Statement

 Clockwise from top left: No Cardio Tank / Baseball Tee / Eat Tee / Sorry Tank / Keep it Real Tank / Boss Sequin Tank / Killin it / Basic / Gypsy /

So I saw a sick workout tank on Betches.com that said "my favorite workout is running my mouth" and it instantly spawned an idea to do a post on statement graphic tees. I love a good witty line, especially if my top is saying it for me. I have my own little collection of statement tees and what I like is that there are so many different choices that I can find one that reflects my mood or personality. Sorting through all of them was fun, but above are the ones I would rock with a moto- jacket and boyfriend jeans, or with my workout leggings, a cute baseball hat and my Nike's. Shop these options above!
