There are two ways I usually wear my hair: pin-straight or in a loose curl. As nuts as this might seem, I have never ever worn my hair up on the blog before and I rarely wear it up in real life (with the exception of the gym). So when the team from The Stylisted swung by an NYFW pre-party hosted by Krista for hair and makeup, I figured: no time like the present (which is my grownup way of saying YOLO).
So we indulged in mimosas (lots of them) and hairspray (lots of it) before heading over to the RewardStyle Party on the rooftop of Empire Hotel. I decided on a messy low bun full of braids and enough volume to make my baby Bump-It (circa 2008) jealous. It was the perfect updo to match my jewel-toned cami and floral pencil skirt, making for the kind of look that you wouldn’t expect had one too many cocktails all weekend long. Cheers friends!

These days, a-lines dominate my wardrobe, but there was a time in my life when pencil skirts commanded their fair share of closet real estate. This was especially true while working in conservative offices, where black, gray and navy reigned supreme. I’m in a more creative environment now, but I still have a soft spot for the classic cut. Just serve it up with a side of summery stripes and the pencil skirt will always have a place in my heart.

It’s my second spring in NYC and wearing lighter layers is still a relatively new concept to me. If I were still in Arizona, I’d probably be in shorts and a tank top and blasting the AC right now. But here, I need to be ready for all sorts of temps — a chilly morning, a sunny afternoon and a usually freezing office. So when I first saw this military vest, I knew I would probably be living in all season long. It’s the perfect layering piece for a laid back look. So don’t be surprised if you see start to see it over and over again on the blog.
