Staple. This navy dress, my dears, is a nice, solid, staple. It can be worn alone (sans belt if you so choose). It can be worn with a leather or UTILITARIAN JACKET (a must for the FALL). It can be worn with a trench. It WILL be worn with tights this fall/winter. It can be paired with ballets, sandals, or heels. It can be layered over a collared shirt. It can be neutral or splashed with color (pink, turq, yellow, red, green). It is without a doubt one of my fave lovelies in my closet! So much so that I am super tempted to snag one of these pups below:
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:
What's not to love about a good Polka Dot? It's all the rage right now and basically adorns anything you see fit. Yes, they look great with solids, but don't forget about stripes, checks, or even a small pop of leopard! This lovely sweater is going to get major mileage this fall! See below for other ways the Dot is gracing our presence. Here's to a lovely weekend, gang (PS: the kicks are on sale for $55)!
New LunchBox, Backpack, Threads...could only mean one thing...Back to School Shopping! Hands down one of my most fave times of year as a kid. I can vividly remember getting home with all of my new goodies, laying them out on my bed, and getting down to the business of the "First Day of School Outfit." Now my big gal is heading back to 1st grade next week and while she wears the standard khaki/polo school uniform, it got me thinking...What would my back to school uniform look like if I was to head back to the hallowed halls of SFHS? I love the idea of the traditional khaki/collared shirt all buttoned, tucked, and prepster; however, I would definitely spruce her up a bit with bold hues, bags, and baubles! If I may make a suggestion for a fall staple purchase...the SchoolBoy Blazer.
I have had this one for at least 5 seasons, I never tire of it, it goes with so many darn things, I am definitely getting it in another shade this season--it's just a goodin! Y'all can shop pieces of the look below if you so choose:
Couldn't sleep worth a lick last night, gang...no better way to cure my insomnia than with a little online shopping soiree! I've been clocking this UK online hotspot, Dorothy Perkins, for quite some time and did a major peruse last night. Remember Current Asos Loves? Well Miss Dorothy delivers similar stylish, ladylike pieces for an insane price point. The DP pieces showcased above (Dresses, Blouses, & skinnies) are all under, y'all ready for this....60 BONES!!! I love myself a good mix of high and low and this indeed does the trick. I took the liberty of pairing these Mrs. Perkins pieces and creating some rigs for y'all.
My collage was getting a bit cramped so if I may add my own commentary to several of the looks. How cute would the WHITE LACE DRESS look paired with either a leather jacket, cargo, or denim vest and the INSANELY precious Loeffler Randall dotted ballets (I am so obsessed with those flats)? Speaking of the FLATS, a precious addition to the last two looks--I'm totally convinced we could get some major mileage outta these flats!!! I'd also add This TWO TONED BELT to the last two looks as well. Lots of intermixing with these pieces which is always a wonderful thing! Take a gander at the pieces live below:
