My day gig as a medical sales consultant in the oncology field typically calls for traditional suit garb.  Thankfully, my clients know me well enough to know that a suit just ain't gonna cut it--and they've grown to appreciate my interpretation of business wear.  For you gals looking to infuse a little personality into your work day...take the printed pant for a ride.  I'm obsessed because they give us the ability to play with separates, textures, prints,  & colors, too!  Take a look at some lovely options below.  Also, in celebration of s + s' big bday this Thursday, stay tuned for some flash giveaways popping up throughout the week...Make it a good one!

Field of View

 Apologies for the no post yesterday; however, work was BONKERS!  Let's get to it:

So here's the thing with Lexington scenery--it is beyond gorg!  The simplest of fields, horse farms, or parks can look magical at sunset.  I never thought I would find a place with equal charm and beauty as my hometown, Jupiter, Florida, but Lex manages to have just that!  

But what about THESE PANTS?  I just adore the graphic punch they deliver--and the pairings we could muster up--forget it!  Essentially any color you match with these lovelies is going to work.  I'm already imagining a cozy black cable knit, layered over a striped button down, my bright red coat, and some black ankle booties--no doubt y'all are going to see some repeat performances from these bad boys this season!  

On a much more heartfelt note, sending my deepest continued prayers to those affected by the storm.  God bless.

Have a fun little print mix for you all heading into a very exciting weekend!  My guy and I are en route to Chicago to celebrate the nuptials of my oldest and dearest pal, Tiff.  She was my very first friend I made in Mrs. Prokop's kindergarten class and now here we are many, many years later...truly such a fun and special weekend ahead!  Follow me on Instagram to keep in touch with the weekend's festivities.  Y'all make it a good one!

The Weekender

sweatshirt peacoat (Splendid, AJs Casuals, Lexington), jeans (Paige), tshirt (GAP), chucks (Converse)

bracelet (Stella & Dot), shades & watch (Michael Kors)

A weekend filled with family, football, and a fall festival sounds like the absolute perfect one to me!  We have quite a bit on deck for this weekend and can I just say this Splendid Sweatshirt Peacoat is the perfect cozy addition to the outdoor activities.  After all, it has the classic shape of a peacoat with the never ending comfort of a sweatshirt--perfection! Wishing you all an enjoyable weekend filled with some fun & relaxation--make it a good one!

Sweats & Leather

  

sweatshirt (Current/Elliot, options below), leggings (Members Only, oodles of options below), oxford (J.Crew), shoes (Zara), satchel (Cambridge Satchel Co.), watch (Tag Heuer), bracelet (Stella & Dot), ring (Lagos), shades (Michael Kors)

Faux leather that is.  Two things I will indefinitely repeat the heck out of this season--the leather legging and a good ole' cozy sweatshirt.  They make for a lovely pairing don't you think?  I like how the fitted toughness of the legging is balanced by the ease of the sweatshirt--not to mention the whole rig is so darn comfortable...truly!

Oxford University

blouse (J.Crew similar HERE), skirt (3 dots AJs Casuals, Lexington, KY), satchel (Cambridge Satchel), watch (Michael Kors), bracelet (Stella & Dot), shades (Michael Kors), shoes (Banana Republic)

Morning gang, hope y'all have had a lovely week---been a beauty here in the Bluegrass!  The Oxford Shirt.... man is this sucker versatile.  I know, I tout the word 'versatility' all the stinkin' time, but in this transitional phase we're embarking on season wise, it is of the utmost importance in my opinion.  I promise you all the Oxford Shirt will give you so much bang for your buck year round.  Clearly I'm diggin' it solo.  It is also the perfect layering piece (think under SWEATERS, BLAZERS, JACKETS, with PRINTED PANTS all buttoned up with a STATEMENT NECKLACE under a folded collar)--such a goodin' with endless options! Crisp, fresh, versatile equals a perfect recipe for a closet staple!  Make it a good one!

The Tweed

jacket (Zara, sold out--SIMILAR BELOW), tee & necklace (J.Crew), jeans (7 for all Mankind), shoes (Kate Spade), clutch (Urban Expressions), bracelet (Stella & Dot), ring (David Yurman), watch (Cartier), shades (Ray Ban)

Got a little fall teaser this weekend with some mild temps--it was just a perfect excuse to break out this little number!  Yet another fall staple I think is a must--the Tweed Jacket.  I am just loving it dressed up and clearly dressed down.  So much so that I'm definitely thinking of snagging another one of these lovelies--check out some fun options below, y'all have a great start to the week:
