rediscovered.

Whenever I feel like I have nothing to wear (which is just about every morning), I try digging through my closet and dusting off a few oldies.  I love pairing pieces that I haven’t worn in forever like this navy tank (May 2012) and this white lace skirt (December 2012) and suddenly discovering a new outfit to add to the arsenal.  It’s a great way to rediscover your wardrobe and an even better way to start the week.

P.S. Congratulations to Robin W. on winning my giveaway with The Rad Market!  I’ll be reaching out to you soon — can’t wait to see which piece you pick!

la vie bohème.

August 22, 2013

Skirt The Rules Blog; NYC fashion blogger; style blog; summer outfit photos; Gentle Fawn Swift boho dress; J.Crew Double-Tassel Gold Necklace; C. Wonder skinny snakeskin cuff bangle; CC Skye Maize geometric gold bracelet; J.Crew magenta skinny belt; Piperlime DV Dolce Vita Helia gold chevron cognac sandals; Linea Pelle Grayson Bar clutchI must not be feeling like myself lately.  Yesterday, I traded in my brights for neutrals, and today — probably for the first time ever — I’m pulling a bit of boho in my outfit.  You may have noticed, but my looks are generally classic, prim, preppy and sometimes even a little punk-inspired, but I’ve never really dabbled in la vie bohème.

Wonder skinny snakeskin cuff bangle; CC Skye Maize geometric gold bracelet; J.Crew magenta skinny belt; Piperlime DV Dolce Vita Helia gold chevron cognac sandals; Linea Pelle Grayson Bar clutchWell this Gentle Fawn dress was the perfect excuse to experiment with my style.  The earthy colors are the perfect compromise between my love of color and my recent desire to tone it down a few notches.  Paired with my new favorite tassel necklace and chevron-adorned sandals, and I’m pretty sure I could get used to this.

in between.

Guys, I’m so torn. I’m not ready for summer to be over, but I’m actually excited to trade in my brights ensembles for something a little simpler (go ahead and rub this in my face in six months).  I mean, they don’t call neutrals a classic for no reason — they look and feel effortless and timelessly sophisticated.  So while I’m stuck in between seasons, I’ll be sticking with lighter layers, but reaching for more subtle shades.
