Going from princess to prep today.  This week has been particularly gloomy and I find myself reaching for darker colors already.  Plus, there’s much less fuss in throwing on a denim shirt, a striped skirt, and a pair of flats.  With the three day weekend around the corner, my wardrobe and I are already on cruise control and ready for fall.

There are a few things in life that will never get old: morning strolls by the water, the view of the Manhattan skyline, and floral print frocks.  … Okay, so maybe the first two have a little more longevity, but I love that there’s an infinite amount of ways to wear florals.  This is my first foray into mirrored prints and I’m really digging the sleek and modern twist on an otherwise everyday classic.  This dress will definitely be in heavy rotation both in and out of the office as we transition from summer to fall.

now & later: sam edelman wedges.

July 30, 2013

Skirt The Rules Blog; NYC fashion blogger; style blog; Forever 21 Twisted Cut Out Cuff; Gap Colorblock Leather Envelope Clutch; Urban Outfitters byCORPUS Silky Scallop Hem Red Dress; BaubleBar Ivory Sunburst Bib Necklace; Sam Edelman Sutton Leopard and Cognac Strap Wedge; Piperlime Tinley Road Camel Black Striped Ponte Fit and Flare Dress; C. Wonder Pyramid Gold Stud Cuff; Banana Republic Flavia Foldover Clutch in Berry; J.Crew Crystal Color Stone EarringsSam Edelman Sutton Wedges — $87.99 (on sale!)

Whenever I go shopping, I make it a rule to only buy pieces that I can imagine myself wearing in at least two or three different outfits — a standard that helps me to prevent impulse purchases and saves me from buyer’s remorse later down the road.

Well, when I saw these these Sam Edelman wedges on sale, I immediately conjured up two different outfits: the first look still very much in a bright, summer mindset and the second being slightly toned down for fall.  I love the looks equally and have pretty much convinced myself that these wedges pass the test!  Leopard, after all, is a neutral. Which look is your favorite?
