One Item, Five Ways ~ Date Night Chic

October 22, 2015

DFT- Downtown Tracks for keeps48Look 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.

One Item, Five Ways ~ Relaxed Chic

October 14, 2015

DFT- Downtown Tracks for keeps14The last and final look for the One Item, Five Ways series!
I love cozy, yet still polished outfits. This one is ideal for brunch, running out for a seasonally-themed latte, or my favorite, staying in and cozying up on the couch with loved ones.
It may be cliché to match your shoes to your bag, but I kind of don’t care. I actually think it looks great and pulls together/grounds a look that combines multiple colors. Here, I kept the materials the same, with rich orangey leather.

Flamingo Set

August 21, 2015

DFT Library Picks23When I was perusing JcPenney’s website the other day for fun little things to help decorate with for our upcoming housewarming anniversary party (any excuse to throw a party, right?!), I couldn’t help wandering over to the I Heart Ronson section. I’ve found some really cute, well-made tops from this line for work before and love that the inventory changes so frequently. I fell in LOVE with this top and skirt set as soon as I saw it… Playful, flattering, kind of cheeky, but still work-appropriate. With eBates, a coupon code, and their already reasonable prices, both of these items were under $35 total! I would definitely pair the top with some skinny black pants or blue jeans, and the skirt with a black top or white T-shirt and sneakers to casualize (that’s not a word, autocorrect?!) the look.

Neon Florals and Rebecca Minkoff Bag

June 17, 2015

DFT 2006

I’m so in love with the palette of this look, from the neon shades of the floral-print skirt to the icy lilac of my newest handbag acquisition from Rebecca Minkoff. I grounded those vibrant colors with black sandals and this great asymmetrical top, and I loved the effect. I wore this outfit for wandering around downtown in my city, sipping on an iced coffee and window-shopping.
