Chevron

Since I can't stay away from summer brights (such as my hot pink skirt), I balance the hue with black and white chevron. I like the idea of different elements, such as preppy and punk. Therefore, I added the pointed patent flats with studs. Happy summer!

Casual Khaki

A khaki skirt is my timeless, in-a-hurry piece. It is easy to match and ideal for a morning that you can't get out the door! The ensemble is relaxed but functional for a work day. Today was a throw my hair in a bun and red-eye coffee kind of morning!

Summer Sheath

Not much is cozier than a soft cotton sheath dress. (Ok, maybe your PJ's) I find this vibrant shade absolutely irresistible for summer. The ruching through the side of the dress adds a little something extra and takes it from a plain cotton dress and adds a touch of glam. The gold braided espadrilles add summer shimmer as does the gold cutout necklace and clover earrings.

Pretty & Preppy

I enjoy pairing different elements and I believe pretty and preppy are a winning combination. The crisp white  tulip skirt with pleated waistline details is flawless and I paired it with an effortless cotton tee. Again today, wearing my go-with-anything Rebecca Minkoff wedges and stacking bangles!

Posh Hot Pink

This frock is anything but fussy; it's a throw-on-and-go kind of dress! The bright colors and print are vivid, so I went with subtle brown wedges. Since my color crush is slightly out of control, I couldn't resist the neon MAC to throw over my shoulder.

Exaggerated Peplum

I'm on board the peplum train and I squealed a little when I found this one with such an exaggerated one! The contour on the waist followed by a dramatic flare make for a figure flattering top! I belted it to break up the black with gold and per usual insisted on a pop; so I let the citrus pumps speak for themselves. 

Top: Olivaceous Peplum Top (faux leather version here; found locally at Uniquities), Skirt: Old, but I'm loving this similar one, Belt: Asos, Earrings: Sonya Renee, Bag: Furla, Exclusively For Saks, Pumps: Ann Taylor Loft (different color sold here), Bracelets: Alexis Bittar, Hermes, Stella and Dot

Playful Pattern

I'm convinced that a pattern can amp up any attire! Not only do I adore the color combo of the frock, I think  it can dazzle from work to play! The print is just edgy enough, but add the heels and a refined necklaces for glam.
