Shift into Neutral

Sunnies: HERE | Cardigan & dress: c/o HERE| 
Nude sandals: Another option HERE| Purse: TJMAXX

Today's look is a perfection transition duo to carry you from summer into fall. If the weather is hot, lose the cardigan, if there is a chill in the air-rock them both! I can even see pairing the duo with a long scarf if temperatures take a dip + adding a pair of booties or boots 😊
Temperatures are mild during the daylight hours in my neck of the woods, yet the cotton blend material was totally comfortable and breathable. 
I decided to stay in neutral lane, pairing with the ensemble a nude bag & matching shoes. BTW-This purse is so fun! I saw it in TJMAXX (I find the cutest stuff there) when I was out of town last month and I could not leave it behind. 
When I got home I realized that purse was a perfect match to this pair of shoes- I knew I had to wear them together, at least once 😍 Mission accomplished!
Until next time,

Monochrome By Lace

Sometimes you only need three main elements to pull off an effortlessly chic look: A top, a bottom, and at least one item of interest. I am a believer that more is more, so I usually add in several item(s) of interest, just because...

For starters, this lace trench coat is EVERYTHING!!! Every single time that I have worn it thus far, the compliments pour in. Most importantly- I feel WONDERFUL in it! I'm so happy that I snagged it on sale! This time around I decided to style it with a basic tank top, a pair of destroyed denim jeans, pompom accented Mary Jane peep-toe shoes, and a fringe bag.

I wore this look to an event last week (I got my make-up done there, but it looks a bit heavy for my taste ) with the lovely Sheena of IAMSHEGLOBAL and also to the office. Perhaps you already saw it on my InstagramStories :) I loved how it turned out so much that I just had to share it with you! Although this look is totally monochrome, I added in textural interest with lace, ripped denim, faux fur, and fringe. Are you loving this ensemble as much as I am?! What three elements do you employ for effortless chic?

Until next time,

XO

Grey Matter

I am a fan of colors as bright as they come, but every now and then, I drift over to grey. This dress is actually quite dressy. 

I set about styling it in a way that is more practical for day to day wear. How?

Well it may sound a bit silly, but first, I wore it backwards. You see, the front of this dress has a low plunge and unnecessary fussy details. I wanted it to look like a plain a-line dress. To accomplish that, I need to play down the details.

To conceal the front, which was actually the back, I wore a grey pinstripe vest. Next I added a handful of pearls, footless fishnets, and matching Mary Jane peep toe heels.

Finally, to completely seal the deal, I added grey bangles and a small handbag to match my footless fishnets.

There are only a few pieces in my current wardrobe that I purposely wear infrequently. Aside from those exceptions, I wear all of my "good" clothes. In my opinion, there is no time better than the present to enjoy the best of what I have, from dishes to clothes!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
