Day & Night

So in my last post I asked for feedback on what the next one should be.  I got a resounding (which equates to one response) request for both options.  Woop Woop! That being said, the day to night look is up first!  Now this can be tricky because I chose to use leather in the look.  When wearing leather in the workplace, first assess your work place - you can tell the level of edginess or trendyness your office allows.  This usually works for entrepreneurs, tech, media, and casual/trendy offices. Next, make sure to still keep the look professional.  Balance out the edge with some structure.  For this look,  I added a blazer, blush cami, and nude pumps for a modest flair.  Finally, pay attention to fit. Leather is naturally more clingy, but make sure it's not skin tight (as in, don't get the second skin version you saw a celeb wear from topshop).  Fit tip:  It should not bandage your knees together.

To take it to night, I ditched the blazer to let the cami take center stage.  The delicate details of the cami transition perfectly into evening.  Removing the blazer also put the skirt on full display.  To kick it up a knotch, I traded the pumps for my go to nude strappy sandals.  Nothing adds a little sexy like a strappy shoe. A little leather, a little cami, a sexy shoe and you're ready for your evening activities.  Get into the details below and and have a stylish week!

Leather Weather

This jacket just makes me feel some type of way whenever I wear it.  Everyone needs a great leather (or faux leather) jacket.  Definitely a fall/winter staple.  It instantly adds edge to any outfit and can be paired with almost anything.  For this look, I decided to layer it on top of an olive green sweater dress.  A good sweater dress is another great add to your fall rotation, and I love the fit of this one - super comfy but still chic. It's also versatile enough to be dressed up with strappy heeled sandals and cute accessories for a date night or dressed down with a bomber jacket for casual weekend activities. I finished the look off with cutout booties, a slick ponytail, and silver hoops. Get into the details below! What would you like to see next?  1. Work to night look or 2.  One look - heels vs. flats.  Let me know your vote and thanks for stopping by!

Two In One

This dress was a fun find, and although it came in both black and burgundy, you know I had to pick my favorite hue for fall. The mix of textures gives it the illusion of a two piece skirt, blouse combination, with the ease of slipping on one piece.  The waist sash adds a slimming, interesting detail.  I decided to pair it with neutral accessories since the dress is already a movement by itself.  Putting an outfit together doesn't always have to be super involved, sometimes you just let the clothes do the work.  Get into the details below and thanks for stopping by!
