Skirt The Rules // Pinstripe Midi Skirt

Short sleeve button up // Striped midi skirt // Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’ sunglasses
Ann Taylor crystal statement necklace // Movado ‘Bold’ rosegold bangle watch // Cocktail ring // Bucket Bag
Ann Taylor ‘Margo’ leather heels

Considering how hot it’s been lately, wearing anything other than a slipdress requires a lot of effort. On days where I feel like putting in more energy, you can usually find me in some sort of skirt – I do have a blog name to live up to, after all! This pinstripe midi skirt from Chicwish is sold out, but I linked a few options below (including this affordable number). I paired it with short sleeve button up and my new tan sunnies, for an outfit that feels like it’s from another era. Dare I say, I can’t wait for it to cool down again so I can play around in more looks like this.

Floral Organza Skirt

July 20, 2015

Skirt The Rules // White Floral Skirt

Lush blouson chiffon skater dress (worn as a top) // Chicwish ‘Blooming Magnolia’ organza midi skirt (only $30!) // Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’ sunglasses // Rebecca Minkoff ‘Mini MAB’ tote (30% off!) // Kate Spade ‘Sailors Knot’ hinged bangle // Bourbon & Boweties pearl bracelet (c/o) // Similar cocktail ring

Remember this dress? Well today, it’s doing double duty as a top. This outfit was actually from way back in May, which I barely got around to shooting it last week. I wore it with this gorgeous floral skirt the day before our wedding – we went to the courthouse with our family to get all the paperwork together and then had brunch with my beautiful bridesmaids. Nothing like a little Throwback Monday to get the week started!

Summer on the Rocks

Dress // Sunglasses // Necklace // Bracelet // Bag

One of the reasons that I love living in New York City is that there’s always something to do, and to my delightful surprise, a lot of the activities are free. Last Thursday, I ventured to the west side of town for the kickoff of Hudson RiverRocks – a series of free concerts on the pier. I definitely don’t hang out on the Hudson River enough, but I’ll take any excuse to be outdoors during the summer – especially when it involves live music, food trucks and good vibes.

I also paid a visit to the American Honey VIP Lounge, where they were serving up Wild Turkey American Honey® on the rocks or mixed into a deliciously sweet lemonade. Megan and I grabbed our mason jar mugs and watched the concert from backstage. You can’t really ask for a better summer night in NYC than that…

Well… as luck would have it, a storm rolled through just as the night was ending. We took cover in the American Honey VIP tent, polished off our drinks and made a mad dash to hail a cab. The other reason I love living in NYC: you can always count on the city to keep you on your toes! There are two more concerts slated for July 23 and August 6 – be sure to check it out!
