Holiday Party Look : Striped Dress

DFT- Caroline Favorites - 20Hello loves!
I hope you’re all having a fantastic weekend. I’ve just come back from brunch with a few of my favorite people and the tipsiness has mostly worn off by now. I love that we have the tradition of meeting up every year around this time, exchanging gifts and stories and so much laughter. Even though we all have so much going on in our lives, we manage to find one afternoon where we can all get together and I think that’s so special. I’m one of those people who consider my friends as family, and I treasure them all so much!
Sorry for getting sappy for a minute there!
Let’s get back to fashion, shall we? This second party look is featuring a super versatile dress from Layered by Cake. It can easily be worn with heels and a statement necklace and little jacket, or as I’ve shown here, with print flats and a lightweight trench. I wanted to keep the look pretty simple, so I paired it with some delicate gold jewelry, a luxe little vintage handbag, and a bow belt to accent my waist and add some interest.

Redlands Art Walk

DFT Art Walk Winners18I love my small town. Have I mentioned that?
The sense of community is definitely a huge plus, and they put on some of the most fun events to get everyone outside and giving back. Most recently was the semiannual Redlands Art walk, welcoming hundreds of local artists and vendors to sell their goods. As is the case with most events, they also offered beer from several of the local breweries and some tasty small bites as well.
I thought this would be the perfect time to pair up my new branch-print skirt from Layered by Cake with a button-down, cage sandals and a vintage leather-accented belt.

One Item, 5 Ways ~ Downtown Chic

DFT- Downtown Tracks for keeps03 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 ~ Relaxed Chic

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.
