High-Low

Dress: Vivienne, Vivienne Tam. Sweater: cAbi. Boots: DVF. Clutch: Cole Haan. Headband: F21. Bracelets: F21 & BaubleBar.

The high-low trend, (mullet dress…whatever you want to call it) is all over the place right now.  I am loving this, this and this version.  When adding layers, I didn’t want to lose the shape (short in front, longer in back), so I paired it with a cozy circle sweater that has similar proportions.  How are you styling yours?

At the end of another week, I just wanted to quickly say thank you so much for reading!!  I hope you have a great weekend!

Some days just don’t call for high heels.  I wore this outfit to run some quick errands, and couldn’t have been happier in my new favorite “flats.”  Of course, it’s impossible not to feel happy when you’re sporting neon yellow in any way, shape, or form.  What’s your favorite bright piece?

When you’re getting ready to buy something, do you think about everything you can pair it with in your wardrobe at home?  Or, do you buy it because you love it and worry about your outfits later?  I tend to act on impulse, and buy because I am in love.  However, I think it’s important to stop and ask yourself, ”will I actually get any use out of this piece?”  When I came across this adorable swan print skirt from Topshop, I couldn’t help but think about how perfect it’d be paired with stripes….and then how equally perfect it’d be with a solid…

When it comes to putting a look together, let your imagination run wild and challenge yourself to come up with something different.  Just because you’re wearing the same piece doesn’t mean you have to look the same every time.

This past Saturday, we nixed our original plans and ended up going for a walk through Woodley Park (DC).  It’s amazing how quiet and quaint certain parts of the city can be.  We stopped for some drinks at a rooftop bar, and wandered aimlessly through the Zoo; all in all, a great day.

Trust: when you’re heading out, unsure of where the day will take you, you can never go wrong in a maxi and flat sandals.
