Blue Stripes :: Zara Midi & Cinnabar

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Hi everyone! So excited to post today's outfit. Yesterday Matt and I went to the Garment District and then headed to the Chelsea area to explore. The Garment District is great place for someone who loves crafts and sewing. There was inspiration all over the place! Our first stop was Bead World and got so many great ideas for statement necklaces and bracelets.  This winter when I'm stuck inside, I'll be spending a lot of time with my list of DIY projects. 

After the Garment Districts we headed to Chelsea Pier. There was so much going on in the area.  We stumbled up Chelsea Market and had a great time exploring. I also found a great sample sale. I spent 10 minutes in the sample sale and picked up two work dresses and a plaid coat. I've learned to be an efficient shopper when I'm with Matt.  After the Market we went to the High Line. The High Line Park is a 1-mile park built on a former elevated New York Central Railroad. It's such a beautiful green getaway in the middle of Manhattan.

In the mist of all of the exploring, we found a pier door that matches with my Zara midi. I loved wearing my Coach boots with the Zara skirt. The graphic tee made the outfit casual and perfect for strolling around New York City.

Thursday Night Football :: Boyfriend Jeans & Faux Leather Peplum

 

 

Happy...last day of the week! Yippie! We made it. Put everything behind you and get ready for another beautiful September weekend.

About today's outfit. I wore this to watch watch Thursday Night Football with friends in the city. If I had to wear one outfit for "the rest of my life" (I know we've all asked this question before), this would be the outfit. Let's start with the top, cotton and faux leather at it's best! The most comfy shirt I own. Then my Current Elliott Boyfriend jeans that I got on sale for $99. These jeans area heaven-sent! So comfy. I could spend 5 days in these jeans and they are so comfortable. The jeans are soft and worn in! Last, but not least are the Boutique 9 heels. These open toe booties are one of my favorite heels in my collection. I've only worn them a handful of times, but I love the wool, and faux leather on the heel. I've spent some time trying to find the link to the shoe, but I'm unable to find it online. I'll continue to search and update you wit any progress.

Falling for Midis :: Zara Skirt & Target Sunnies

 

 

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is adjusting to the Fall weather. Late last week I had to come to terms with the colder weather and I packed up all my summer clothes. A few didn't make it into the box, so I'll need to do another sweep. Since this will be my first fall/winter in New York, I'm preparing myself for cold morning! I'm really excited for the gloves and hats! However, talk to me in January and ask me if I'm enjoying the weather :)

Today's outfit is such an easy outfit for the office. It's sophisticated and sleek. Since the midi is back and in full effect, I've taken advantage of the trend and stocked up on several of the skirts. I've been wearing pencil skirt for years, I'm ready to wear a new type of skirt to work. I'm limited to on what I can wear to the office due to the lengths of dresses and skirts, so I'm really pleased with this type of skirt for the office. I think today's outfit is very professional and I compare it to a man in gray slacks and blue oxford shirt. 

One last thing...I picked up these sunnies from Target for $12.99!!! Earlier in the day I purchased Michael Kors sunnies for $120, then I made my way to Target and got 3 pairs of sunnies and a cute hat and spent under $75! Needless to say, I took back the MK sunnies. Very happy with my purchases at Target!

Office Outfit :: Zara Sweater & Skirt

Good morning everyone! Look forward to seeing all the cute fall outfits. Here's one of my favorite sweaters with a pencil skirt with ruffles. This sweater I picked up from Zara a few weeks ago and I've already worn it a few times. This fall, be sure to pick up a few sweaters that can be worn with boyfriend jeans, slacks and a standard pencil skirt. It makes for a comfy and warm day at the office!

Trend this Season :: How to wear a Baseball Hat this Fall

This week has begun! Morning everyone. This weekend I spent time with my family in Kansas City, Missouri. When I'm back home, I spend most of my time running around seeing my favorite people in the world.  I always find time to do some shopping, they always have great sales! This weekend I found my new "fall" bag. Can't wait to show you photos. 

Today's post was inspired by one of my favorite accessories. The baseball hat. I've been getting away with this trend for years. I've always owned some type of hat. For years it was a STL Cardinals hat, then a Chief's hat, then a leather hat and now it's this beautiful J. Crew hat. I got this hat in navy and it seems to go with everything. It doesn't look as "tough" as my leather hat and doesn't look as sporty as my sports hats. The best advise I can give when wearing a baseball hat is to keep it simple. I think a white top and jeans are a great look. Then put on your favorite pump and you look like Sporty Spice! What do you think about the baseball hat trend? Do you like or love? 

Place you could wear this outfit :: happy hour, brunch date, strolling around the city on a Sunday.

Perfect "Date Night" Dress :: Zara dress & Zara heels

  Hello everyone! So happy it's Friday. Tomorrow we celebrate the birthday of my niece! She's turning 7 and she's the apple of my eye (is that how you say that saying, I'm notorious for saying them wrong). I think she's going to like the Barbie house we got her...it has an elevator! Talk about upgrading Barbie ;) 

Today's outfit was what I wore on our last date in San Francisco. I love this dress. I think if there were one dress in my closet that spoke for my overall style, this dress would be that dress. It's simple; black and white. I love the cut of the dress. The long sleeves, but showing legs. It shows my curves in a flattering way. The dress is from Zara and is made really well. The fabric is nice and thick. The last reason, probably my favorite. It was on sale! $39 for this dress! 

Looking forward to transitioning this piece into the fall and winter. It can be work with tights and also boots & booties! I'll be sure to wear it a few more times and you can see the different styles.

I'm sure most of us ladies are familiar with the "cold offices". A sweater is always a good idea when you work in an office. An easy way to change an outfit from day to night is adding leather and more gold. The long pencil skirt is a great transition piece.  This outfit could also be word with flats during the day and dressing it up with heels at night.
