Hail the Shirttail

It's officially fall and I'm looking forward to tailgates, layers and afternoon coffee drinks. The arrival of crisp air brings leather paneled leggings and a shirttail sweater. (these are everywhere!) Finished off with a tiered gold necklace and a classic black pump.

Black & White

It's back to basics with classic black and white! There's something about these neutral colors that make you feel ultimately posh. The look is minimalist, yet crisp and elegant. I love the way the top is cinched at the waist with the accordion pleating that almost creates whimsical movement. I had to cheat a little and throw in the hot pink wallet, while combing downtown for an afternoon coffee fix!

Peplum

After an extensive search, I finally found the perfect pair of distressed denim! Being short, I like that you can roll them at the ankle for a preppy look. Combining the casual jean with a flirty peplum top offsets the idea of "grunge" because of the torn threads. The final feminine touch is the classic black pump! Sorry, when it's 70 degrees in January, I can't help put reminisce on spring/summer with a pop of neon!
