Skirt The Rules // Windowpane Print Dress

I spent the past weekend in Arizona for my bridal shower and flew back to New York on a Monday night redeye. After only one uninterrupted hour of sleep on the plane, I surprisingly made it through my first day back in the office without falling asleep on the job (yay me!).  It wasn’t until I finally laid down for the first time in 36 hours that I immediately crashed and haven’t fully recovered since.  I feel like I could sleep for DAYS.

So I can guarantee you that I’m probably putting as little effort into my wardrobe as possible this week.  This windowpane dress has been on major rotation lately.  It’s super comfy, but still put together, which makes for the perfect standby for recovery weeks like this one.  It also comes in a top and a skirt if you want to mix and match.  I love the dress paired with a military vest, a simple black clutch and a pair of leopard heels.  Easy peasy and effortless!  What’s your go-to lazy outfit?

Skirt The Rules // Spring Trench CapeWhen I lived in Arizona, outerwear used to be at the bottom of my sartorial priority — I remember buying my first pea coat from Forever 21 and thinking it was an unnecessary splurge.  Oh how little I knew.

Skirt The Rules // Spring Trench CapeNow I have a coat for nearly every occasion.  A puffer jacket for the bitter cold,  a trench for rainy days and a wool coat for the chilly days in between.  The current focus: spring outerwear.  I’m in love with this trench-inspired cape from Ann Taylor.  It’s a modern twist on a classic style and I have a feeling I’ll be wearing it all season long.  Happy Monday friends!

Skirt The Rules // How to Layer a Sweater

It’s been an interesting month in NYC so far.  Mother Nature decided to dump one last pile of snow on us before the temps hit a glorious 45°F this weekend (can you believe this Arizona girl gets excited about the mid-40’s?). The only downside of being stuck in between the end of the winter and the first signs of spring: waiting for the snow to melt.  It’s like we’re stuck in this wet and slushy limbo and — let me tell you — it’s not fun.

Skirt The Rules // Grey Sweater & Olive Tunic

As we impatiently wait out this transition, you can probably find me kicking through mountains of dirty snow in a pair of leopard rain booties.  I’ve already traded in my thick knits for lighter layers, like this easy sweater and tunic combo and once it hits 50°F, I can almost guarantee that I’ll be bare legged.  Too soon?  Or not soon enough?  Spring, where you at?!
