The Cutoff






blazer (J.Crew on SALE), blouse (J.Crew, LOVE THIS OPTION), belt (Banana Republic), cutoffs (J.Brand, Alternative ON SALE), heels (French Connection ON SALE), bag (Louis Vuitton), watch (Michael Kors), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck), bracelets (J.Crew, Linea Pelle), shades (Ray Ban), necklace (Maya Brenner)
Normally left for the more laid back crowd, I wanted to add polish to the Cutoff with a Blazer and tucked in blouse.  Once we head into fall, I already plan to pair em' with a cozy Sweater & laid back Sneaks.  Piperlime is having an addt'l 20% off sale apparel with code TREAT.  Perfect for us because there's a ton of denim on sale---check them out below!  Make it a good one, gang!

Lacey Stripes





  
skirt (Forever21, old, other lace options HERE & HERE), vest (J.Crew), top (Loft), heels (Sam Edelman, other colors HERE), necklace (BaubleBar Silver Version), bag (Michael Kors), watch (Michael Kors), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck), bracelets (J.Crew, Stella & Dot), shades (Gucci)
Y'all getting sick and tired of this VEST yet (see HERE & HERE)?  Clearly it's proven to be a fantastic summer topper but that's not to say it won't transition perfectly into the fall.  I highly recommend snagging one--obviously, I wear mine pretty regularly!  
My gal, Danielle, visited several weekends ago for a day of sun & shopping and of course did not come empty handed.  Kid is so great she brought the lace skirt above I've been clocking for a bit as well as THESE PANTS.  Remember to swap pieces with your gal pals in an effort to test run some new threads without having to shell out any dough!  You will find some odd gratification, too, seeing your pieces worn by a fellow friend--weird, but true!
Did you all check out yesterday's $150 INPINK Jewelry Giveaway?  It's a goodin'--make sure to check it out!  Cheers to a lovely weekend--make it a good one!

Getting Graphic





shorts (ASOS sold out, options below), blouse (J.Crew), shoes (Kate Spade), bag (Rebecca Minkoff), bracelets (J.Crew, Stella & DotStella & Dot on SALE), ring (Lagos), watch (Michael Kors), shades (Ray Ban)
I am SO BUMMED THESE SHORTS are sold out!!  The good news is; however, Asos does restock their items so you have my word I will keep an eye out for you.  I did spot THESE CANDY COLORED STRIPES as a fun alternative as well as some other graphic stripes below.  Technically you could say there's a lot going on in this rig, but the graphic black & white and METALLIC HEELS keep it crisp and not overbearing.  And don't be so quick to pack up your shorts as the weather starts to transition to fall.  You'll find they make for a perfect pairing with casual SWEATERS. Alright gang, make it a good one and enjoy your Tuesday!

Emerald City







dress (Line & Dot, Piperlime), heels (Rebecca Minkoff sold out, DVF Sale Option), faux jacket (BB Dakota, almost identical version), bag (JJ Winters), necklace (Hyla Dewitt, Adele of Lexington, DYING for THIS & THIS), watch (Michael Kors), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck), cuff (unknown), shades (Gucci)
Y'all know I've been yip yapping about THIS DRESS for a bit now and let me say, she did not disappoint!  Even though it's obviously loose & trapeze fitting, the color, little ankle peek, and shoulder display make it surprisingly flattering (I suggest sizing DOWN).  And how happy am I that it works well with a Faux Leather jacket for a perfect fall transitional look.  Not to mention you could pair this lovely with a handful of hues--how about yellow, gold, or royal blue?  Apologies for the hemline wrinkles--was sitting cross legged and seems she got a little crumpled (major pet peeve)!  Alright gang--insane work day ahead--make it a good one!
