Outfit Planning: Weekend Trip

What to Wear on a Weekend Tripfloral dress | white dress | romper | sunglasses | wedges | bracelet | cuff | bag

This weekend, I’m headed on quick trip upstate for the boyfriend’s family reunion.  I’m talking a six-hour drive on Saturday morning and back to the city by Sunday night.  It’s a lot of travel for such a short stay so a carefully curated weekender wardrobe is a must … which is easier said than done for a serial overpacker like me.  This time around, I’m counting on one-piece outfits like a floral dress or a striped romper.  They’ll take up minimal space in my weekender bag and should cover the range of weekend plans.  I’m keeping the accessories to a minimum with a cute cuff or two and a pair of comfortable wedges and I’ll BRB!  Happy weekend loves!

Currently Craving: Black & White

Black and White Summer Essentials

shorts | crossbody bag | cami | earrings | pumps | bikini | necklace | sandals | satchel

It looks like New York might finally be rubbing off on me.  This summer, I’ve been gravitating toward more neutrals than neons.  I’m especially loving the high contrast between black and white.  I know it’s not earth-shattering, but in a season full of brights and bolds, it’s refreshing to tune out the noise and keep things simple and sharp.  I recently picked up this black and white striped dress and have my eye on these crocodile print shorts.  What monochromatic pieces are you currently craving?

Fluted Skirt

How to Wear a Flared Mini Skirt

Teal isn’t usually the first color that comes to mind when you think of summer, but I recently snagged this fluted skirt on major sale from J.Crew and had to take it for a spin.  I decided to keep the rest of the palette on the same side of the colorF spectrum, mixing a navy printed tank with this gorgeous leopard clutch.  I’m feeling more like fall in this outfit, but don’t you worry — I also just scooped up the skirt in bright red and poppy, so we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled bolds and brights soon enough!
