jam packed.

May 22, 2013

I usually like to plan an outfit around one piece — a statement necklace, a printed blouse or a pair of killer shoes — and build from there. Well today’s outfit was spontaneously jam-packed with a few of my favorite things: floral, lace and neon. There wasn’t really a starting point — just a bunch of fabulously bright and punchy pieces from my closet coming together to make one heck of a colorful spring outfit. Try it some time — you’ll never know what you’ll come up with!

style formula: stripes + floral.

May 21, 2013

Skirt The Rules Blog; NYC fashion blogger; style blog; spring outfit collages; how to wear striped shirts and floral dresses; Old Navy Lightweight striped tanks; ModCloth Ikebana for All yellow floral skirt; J.Crew Factory floral printed pencil skirt in stretch cotton; Dorothy Perkins gray floral skirt

Today, I thought I’d share another one of my fail proof style formulas: stripes and florals. I’ve been wearing this combo a lot lately (last seen here and here) and as you know, when I find something I love, I stick to it! If you’ve been wanting to get into mixed prints, this is definitely the playful pairing to get you started. Take any thin-striped top (like this) and pair with different floral prints for a variety of summer savvy looks.

sharp + chic.

May 20, 2013

Even though this weekend went by way too fast, I figured I’d start off the work week right with a sharp and chic outfit. As hard as it is to pull myself out of bed on a Monday morning, getting dressed for the day helps put a little pep in my leopard step. And while I’m not certainly not ready for the craziness of this week’s events, I can at least look like I am. Happy Monday friends!
