Weekend Wear | Striped Crop Top + Black A-Line Skirt

Hope everyone is having a good weekend! 

Black and white pieces are slowly taking over my wardrobe. I've found stripes and simple patterns, like the palm tree cami I wore yesterday, are easy pieces to dress up or down. As most of you know, I'm a huge advocate of statement necklaces. They spruce up any outfit! What I love about today's outfit is that nothing is new, they're all pieces I've had in my closet a while. Times like this show, that I always have something to wear in our closet, it's just finding the pieces that work well together.

Wearing Striped Crop Top + Bold Red Skirt

My closet mainly consists of stripes and solid color pieces. I've found that these pieces can easily be transition from you work wear to daily wear. Today's outfit is a great example of mixing these pieces.

Although this outfit isn't something I would wear to the office, I would wear it with a oversize top (like here) and the looks is ready to wear to your 9-5. This look is perfect for a date or meeting friends for dinner. The booties give it a trendy and updated look (here a office look wearing these heels). A classic black pumps, like these, would make this outfit perfect to meet the parents or go to Sunday brunch.

Wearing Stripes and Camo

Spring has been teasing New York. We've had a few beautiful days, but it looks like we have a few more days of winter in NYC. Today's outfit I've been wearing the last few weeks. The sweater from H&M keeps me warm and the camo pants are a good change from your standard jeans. Originally when I bought this sweater I wanted to wear it with my faux leather skirt (like I wore here & here), but I was clueless on what tights to wear with the look. As the weather starts to warm up, it's an outfit I might try for the spring. I could always brighten up the look with a spring color. 

I have to tell you about this sweater...I cannot say enough good things about it. H&M has been doing a great job with their quality of clothing and I think this is a piece that can be worn for a few years and seasons.

Coffee Break :: Floral Peplum & Striped Skirt

Happy Labor Day everyone! I hope most of you have today off and are enjoy the time away from work.  I'm a big believer in "breaks" from work.  If it weren't for the weekend to slow me down, I think I could work seven days of the week.  I owe this to being a slight perfectionist and a multitasker, ladies I know several of you can agree! On the weekends I  shut down my "work brain" and focus on my fiance and my blog. It's a good time to regroup and focus for the next week.  

Today's outfit is two of my favorite pieces in my closet.  I love this floral top, I could wear it everyday.  The same for the skirt. The material is so pretty and it fits me perfectly around the waist. It poufs out just enough to be a girly striped skirt.

  Yippie! Happy Friday everyone! I'm really looking forward to this weekend. We have tickets to a Yankee's game tonight and we're going to the beach over the holiday. It's sad to say, but I haven't been to the beach once this summer. The closest thing I got to being at a beach was going to a water park with my niece.  

Today's outfit was worn to my engagement party in Kansas City at the beginning of August.  A few months back I saw this midi skirt on a few bloggers and I obsessed over it.  I thought about how I'd wear the skirt, hundreds of times, before I bought it.  One thing about fashion, style and trends is that they look different on everyone.  There have been plenty of times I have obsessed about purchasing something and then when I went to go try it on, I was really disappointed.  It typically has to do with the fact that I'm only 5'1. However, over the years I've really paid attend to what is flattering to my body.  Takes practice and I'm still not always right.  

If you haven't tried on a midi skirt, I'd recommend you trying one on the next time you're out shopping!
