To The Max

October 23, 2014

Considering how much I’ve been loving a good maxi dress lately (see exhibit A and exhibit B), it was only a matter of time that it would translate over into skirt form. I snagged this burgundy maxi skirt (which you can score for an extra 50% off today only!) in petite so that the hem floats just around the ankles instead of dragging on the ground. I told you my hem lines were only going to get longer from here on out.

Wear:
Top: Express
Skirt: LOFT (take an extra 50% off today only!)

Gone to Great Lengths

September 29, 2014

I don’t think I’ve ever had much luck with maxi dresses. Since I’m only 5’2″, there’s usually a few inches of fabric puddling at my feet. Lately though, I’ve been browsing petite sections of my favorite brands and finding the perfect maxis left and right. It all started with this flowy floral number, followed by the same cut in teal and now that I know where to find the right size for me, I don’t think I’ll be stopping anytime soon.

Wear:
Dress: Ann Taylor (similar)
Scarf: Express (similar here and here)
Sunglasses: Karen Walker
Clutch: GiGi New York (c/o)
Cuff: Ann Taylor
Ring: Kendra Scott (c/o)
Sandals: Banana Republic (similar)

Work & Play

September 17, 2014

During Fashion Week, everyone wants to know what shows you went to and how many more you have lined up. The truth of the matter is, going to shows at Lincoln Center is a treat, but for me, NYFW was a balance between work and play. I still punched in at my 9-to-5 during the day and headed to events during the evening and weekends.

So on days where I played double duty, my outfit followed suit. This particular look was leaning more towards work wear, but details like the leather trim on a pair of slim dotted pants, the rich shade of burgundy on the clutch and the killer statement necklace took it from office to runway show in no time flat. For more on NYFW, check out my video recap!
