Spring Update

Skirt The Rules // Denim Jacket & Drop Waist Dress

You know I love a good dropwaist dress (last seen here and here), but this navy one in particular has been a staple since I got it last fall.  I probably wear it a couple times a month and have no plans on stopping!  Last month, I wore it with a knit bomber, but this past weekend I opted for a denim jacket and as long as there’s a spring breeze in the air, I’ll keep switching it up with all kinds of different layers.  A mint-colored crossbody bag and a bold lip color is all I need to complete this little spring update.

Bachelorette Party Outfits

Skirt The Rules // Little White Dress

Dress // Earrings // Cuff // Clutch // Heels

It’s starting to hit me that our wedding is almost here (t-minus 46 days!!!). This weekend, I’m headed to New Orleans to celebrate with my best friends and my future sis-in-law. I can’t even explain how excited I am to have my favorite ladies from all over in one place. And even though I’m not that much of a party animal these days, I will always love a good reason to get dressed up!

I rounded up a few outfit options for a bachelorette party, whether you’re the bachelorette or one of the besties. Personally, I’m passing on the little white dress (I’m a notorious spiller), but I love this option paired with bold accessories like these coral earrings and this colorbock clutch.

If an LBD is more your cup of tea, I’m loving this cut out option (click through to see the open, criss-cross back!). But again, pops of color are key!  I need this hot pink crossbody bag in my life.

If solids aren’t your thing, more power to you! You know I’m a sucker for a print. I’m loving this printed dropwaist dress (which is on sale!) because there are so many colors to pull from for accessories. Add a cobalt clutch and a pair of red heels and it doesn’t get much more festive than that!  Let me know which one is your favorite look and follow me on Snapchat (username: SkirtTheRules) for a peek into this weekend’s adventures!

Skirt The Rules // New Balance 501 Sneakers

As much as I love a good heel, sky-high stilettos are not the most practical option for a city dweller like me.  I’m either biking to work or running down a subway platform to catch the train, so that “cab to curb” kind of lifestyle just isn’t going to work.  In reality, I’ll usually have a pair of flats on during my commute and then throw on my heels right before I get to my destination.  If you see a girl switching out her shoes on the corner of the street, that’s probably me…

Skirt The Rules // New Balance 501 Sneakers

Enter the perfect sneakers from DSW.  It’s a shoe style that I never thought I’d pair with something other than sweats and a tank top until recently.  Times have changed, my friend!  Athleisure is the idea of being sporty and comfortable, without sacrificing your style.  The first time I explained the term to a friend, he laughed at me, but it’s a thing!  Sneakers aren’t just confined to the gym or to the feet of middle-aged tourists.  They’re being worn with dresses and skirts, or in my case, with a refined coat and leather leggings.  Gone are the days where I have to stuff an extra pair of shoes in my already brimming tote bag and that’s a trend I can totally get behind.
