My favorite thing about getting out of NYC is seeing it from afar. If you follow me on Snapchat (username: skirttherules), you saw that I was in Brooklyn on Sunday evening to watch my husband play soccer (and maybe to take blog photos… #multitasking). Williamsburg is only one stop out of the city, but it feels like a world away. Things are a little quieter and a lot more laid-back, so I followed suit and embraced those off-duty vibes.

Skirt The Rules // Teal Dress & Tan Bucket Bag

I wish I could say I was cool and always tie a button-up shirt around my waist with ease, but I’m not. I haven’t rocked this look since the 90’s, but have been meaning to give it a whirl again. I recently got this turquoise tank dress for summer, which I love because it’s so soft and simple! Still though, something felt like it was missing so I grabbed the coziest chambray shirt in my closet and voilà — extra cool points and an extra layer to keep me warm when the summer breeze rolls through.

Navy as a Neutral

Skirt The Rules // Navy Dress & Leopard Clutch

Lush blouson chiffon skater dress (similar here) // Clare Vivier leopard flat clutch // Kate Spade ‘Sailors Knot’ hinged bangle // Kendra Scott ‘Arden’ bronze druzy cuff (50% off!) // Pour La Victoire ‘Yaya’ heels (similar here)

It’s Monday again and I’m dreaming about two things: a double shot of espresso and this navy dress that I recently got from Nordstrom (it’s almost sold out, but this is another great option). I wore it with a floral skirt when James and I went to the courthouse right before our wedding, but I’ll save that outfit for another day. Right now, I’m loving navy as the perfect summer neutral — from this botanical print cami to this flared skirt, you really can’t go wrong … even if you get dressed before having your first cup of coffee.

Trapeze Act

Skirt The Rules // Striped Trapeze Dress

LOFT striped swing dress (sold out, but in pink stripes here) // Fringe necklace // Clare Vivier leopard flat clutch // Kendra Scott ‘Arden’ bronze druzy cuff (50% off!) // Marc Fisher ‘Candice’ fringe suede sandal (c/o)

You know what the best thing about post-nuptial life is? NO DIETS. Not that I was body-image crazy before the wedding. I was just mindful of the amount of sweets and drinks I consumed and had a strong desire to work out. All. The. Time.

Skirt The Rules // Striped Trapeze Dress with Pockets

Well let’s just say “healthy Jen” is on hiatus for a while — just in time for bikini season. I’m not stressing too much though. Trapeze dresses have been my jam lately. They’re my go-to outfit for overindulgent trips to Shake Shack, frozen yogurt or happy hour — pretty much everything I refrained from for the past six months.

Skirt The Rules // Leopard and Stripes Mixed Prints

I wear this black and white striped number at least one per week (it’s sold out, but comes in pink and white and solid white or grey). I also just got this short-sleeved swing dress in the mail yesterday and have a feeling it will get just as much love this summer.
