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!

Pleated

Pleats have once again made it into the trends for fall.  They were pretty popular last year, but this year they are everywhere.  Cue this pleated number from none other than New York & Company, a hot spot for me recently.  I love the thigh split (although it makes wearing it in professional settings difficult). Then the fact that it's black makes it all the more sleek.  I paired it with a high neck sleeveless top (I hate saying turtleneck) and mesh French Connection pumps I picked up on sale from DSW.  Now if I can only figure out how to get the creases out from being folded.  Learn from me and pay attention to those details.... One battle at a time, but nonetheless it came together. Get into the details below and stay stylish ladies!

All About the Pleats

Getting ready to start a new work week and decided to do a little blogging! I'm really trying to keep up my goal of more posts this year (at least 3 a month - which I missed in February, whoops) so help keep me honest!

This skirt was love at first sight.  I was in the Limited for the first time in a really long time styling a client for a campaign she was doing with them. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of cute (and affordable) pieces they had, plus we got an extra 20% off , so I indulged in a few things.  This skirt was my first pick.  Rich color, pleated details, (faux) leather  - what's not to love? These details created a nice juxtaposition of feminine and edgy, and, as I've gotten older, I've really come to appreciate pieces that outlast more than one season.  I love pieces that dabble in a trend but still have classic hues and shapes. I kept the rest of the look romantically neutral with a blush wrap blouse and nude pumps.  Love how these colors came together, so you'll probably see this color combo from me again! Get into the deets below and thanks for stopping by! Go out and slay this week. :)
