Not Business, Not Casual

Windowpane Shirt & Leather Shorts

I have another NYFW outfit coming atcha today and I especially love that this one’s a combo of business and pleasure — well, the kind of business that only goes down at Fashion Week (or maybe on a street corner).  I took a day off from the real 9-to-5 and wore this look to a few showroom visits with some of my favorite brands.  It was also the perfect getup to grab drinks later on with my girls Ashley, Ali, Lindsey and Adriana.  Work hard, play harder, right?  As for actual business meetings … I would probably suggest wearing real pants.

White After Labor Day

White A-Line Skirt & Fall Accessories

Top // Skirt // Necklace // Bracelet // Bag // Heels

We all know that the “No White After Labor Day” rule is long dead, but actually practicing what you preach is a whole ‘nother conversation.  Instead of throwing on head-to-toe whites and brights like you might during the summer, pick one crisp piece and pair it with a darker palette of fall shades.  I love the idea of a white flared skirt with a burgundy top or a sharp white tote contrasted against a simple black dress.  Balance is everything — especially when it means the difference between looking like you’re ready for fall versus looking like you’re on the walk of shame from Diddy’s white party.  How are you wearing white this season?

Currently Craving: Matching Sets

Zig Zag Print Matching Set

Matching Set // Geode Necklace // Quilted Bag // Cut-Out Booties

I’m not usually a matchy-matchy kind of girl.  My boyfriend can attest to that, considering that I constantly force him to change shirts if we’re ever wearing the same shade of anything (sorry babe!).  Even my fingernails are never painted the same color as my toenails.  But lately, I’ve been entertaining the idea of the matching set.

Matching Set // Bucket Bag  // Leather Watch // Ankle-Strap Sandals

I never thought I had the je ne sais quoi to pull off the look, but the more I see it rolling down runways and onto the racks, the more I want to give it a shot.  Because why not?  Whether you’re dipping your toes into a fun print or a classic texture, there is plenty of experimentation to be had!  And when you’ve given it a whirl, each piece is as perfect on its own.  Check out how I would style a matching set and let me know what you think of the trend!
