Vintage Houndstooth

Sweaters, Scarf, H&M. Skirt, Vintage. Boots, Aldo. Bag, Coach. Sunnies, Ray Ban.

 
By looking at my last few posts I think it’s become pretty apparent that I am stuck in a skirt phase. I think I’ve subconsciously decided that I am done with Winter for the season and this look fortifies that. This work outfit features a vintage houndstooth skirt with a cobalt blue sweater. Wore riding boots instead of booties for a more laid back feel for dinner after work. Saw this spectacular sunset on our way to eat and managed to take a few photos. Which in itself was a pure fluke as it had all disappeared within a mere matter of minutes.

Wishing you all a fabulous week ahead!

Skeleton Grasp My Dark Virtue

Blouse, Lovely Day from Nasty Gal. Jeans, Zara. Jacket, Danier. Boots, Ralph Lauren. Bag, Coach. Belt, Guess. Ring, Nasty Gal. Scarf, H&M.

 
Really digging this Lovely Day blouse I just picked up from Nasty Gal. Initially I bought it with the intent of wearing it as shown here tucked into a pair of jeans, trousers or skirt. However, the blouse does have a longer cut at the back allowing for more versatility. The dark romantic florals of this sheer blouse flow oh so beautifully giving it a loose, yet feminine cut and the plunging V neckline is a bonus. Hence I am already pairing this blouse with a simple pair of leggings and over the knee boots in my head for its next outing.

Have a fabulous afternoon!

Into the Blue

Top, Shadow Edge from Nasty Gal. Jacket, Old Navy. Skirt, American Eagle. Sneakers, Converse. Bag, Coach. Sunnies, Ray Ban.

 
Here is another look from our road trip. Same idea here, trying to find something that will last all day without sacrificing style. Always tending to overpack I limited myself to only the clothes that I could fit inside my overnight TNA bag (not an easy feat I assure you!). As such, I decided on a few key basics that would mix and match for the entire trip. Basics like a denim mini skirt and shorts, crop tops, long sleeve shirts, a few sneakers and sunnies. Figured those were safe bets…let me know what you think, and stay tuned for more looks using the aforementioned basic pieces.
