Top, Garage. Cutoffs, Hollister. Gladiators, Aldo. Sunnies, Foster Grant.

 
We spontaneously took off to the cottage for a few days, leaving very little time to pack while scrambling amongst other tasks. When up here, I tend to keep it simple and live in cutoffs during the day, switching into 3/4 or full-length trackpants by night. Only because the mosquitoes can get out of control at times. (Having learned my lesson after approx 20 ankle bites in one night). I try not to sacrifice too much style in lieu of comfort, so I paired a pretty lace top with denim cutoffs and gladiators.

On a side note, I couldn’t find my sunglasses anywhere, so we had to dip into the nearest town about 30 mins away and I was lucky enough to find these cute leopard detailed ones. Guess it all worked out in the end.

Have a lovely day!

Spiked Gold

Top, Jacob. Skirt, American Eagle. Gladiators, Aldo. Purse, Marc Jacobs. Sunnies, Dolce & Gabbana. Snake bangle, bebe. Spike collar, Nasty Gal.

 
I’ve had this chiffon waterfall skirt for some time now, but only started wearing it recently; although I’m not sure why, because I love the way the fabric flows, and it’s pretty easy to style. Worn here with a recycled silk top, gladiators, and subtle gold detailing.

Floral Flounce

Top, Garage. Culottes, J Lo. Pumps, Aldo. Sunnies, Celine. Jewelry, Samantha Wills.

 
Wore this floral print flounce top with culottes to work the other day. For the first time in a really long while I didn’t find it necessary to change afterwards, and so it served its purpose for sushi later that evening. Based on some of the comments I get, I know I’m not the only one who sacrifices personal style in an effort to conform to a work environment. Personally, the sight of a dress shirt/pant combo make me cringe. Although I have seen some who look incredible in just that. Any thoughts to share on how you balance your personal style with work?
