Rebecca Taylor Print Maxi

November 12, 2015

Dress number two from Rebecca Taylor by way of Rent the Runway. Another gorgeous print I fell in love with! The styles are also similar, with a self-tie waist-cincher, button-down front, and ruffled cap sleeves on both dresses. The maxi flows beautifully when you walk, allowing a little leg to peek out too.
This dress would actually be the perfect thing to bring on the upcoming cruise (4 days in Catalina/Ensenada) I’m planning for! I’ve never been on a cruise before, so I’ve spent my recent downtime at work researching every little thing I shouldn’t be caught without.. I’ve already locked down my “formal dinner” gown here, and only have one swimsuit so no guessing game in that department. It’s the in-between time that I’m trying to figure out dressing for. I’d love to hear your tips on dressing for a cruise!

Moto Jacket and Pleated Skirt

October 26, 2015

I was going through my closet a few days back and came across this tank I had bought from Nordstrom Rack. I realized that all throughout summer, I hadn’t worn it even once! For shame, I think it’s quite cute. Then I got the idea to make it a layering piece for fall! I could also wear it with jeans, boots, and a long cardigan on top.
What’s a summer item you’d like to restyle for fall?

One Item, 5 Ways ~ Downtown Chic

October 25, 2015

Look number 4 in the One Item, Five Ways series!
I had to admit, this may be my favorite of all of the looks that we shot for this series. I love how versatile it is! I could wear this pairing to work, on a date, out shopping or to one of my favorite outings, brunch with the girls.
Army green jackets have always been a staple in my wardrobe, and I feel like they’re an essential when the cooler weather hits. Some are super lightweight, like this JcPenney version that I’m wearing, unlined and with roll-up sleeves, and others can be fully insulated with hoods. They’re fantastic for adding a touch of edge to temper an outfit that’s a bit fancy or girly.

One Item, Five Ways ~ Date Night Chic

October 22, 2015

Look number three in my series One Item, 5 Ways!
This outfit could easily take me from drinks to dinner and then a movie or dancing! My best tip for finding footwear that is dance-worthy is to look for open-toed shoes with a platform. That way, there is room for your toes to move around a bit, and less pressure on the balls of your feet. Or, if you know you’ll be walking a lot (or don’t want to have to think about it at all), go ahead and wear flats. They’re low-maintenance and can be just as cute as heels.
I also love the idea of incorporating something personal about myself into my look for a night out with someone new, something that will spark a conversation, such as this dog bone necklace. I love my dogs like they’re my kids, and it’s a nice to teach someone about things you’re so passionate about.
