Layer It On

Even in the summer, I'm a huge fan of layering. It spices up plain sweaters, button-ups, t-shirts, etc. It's the perfect way to make a piece you wear all the time look completely new and different. I love this chambray shirt and honestly, I probably wear it too often. This striped t-shirt (Target - little girl's section...seriously) has some details of it's own but takes on a whole new life over the denim. I paired these layered tops with these fun watermelon Gap trousers, Target nude patent leather flats, a sock bun and this polka dot makeup bag-turned-clutch from Forever 21. 

J.Crew Junkie

Who says conservative can't be cute? This new top from J.Crew is the perfect amount of non-flashy and leopard. Topped with a vintage-looking chunky J.Crew necklace, Joe's Jeans and some Dolce Vita loafers and I had myself a nice little Monday work outfit. I've been rocking the necklace over a collared top for a bit now but this pop of color/shirt combo is my new fave.

Espadrilles Are Everything

On a rainy day packed with movies and facials, you want to look presentable without being too fancy. I kept in casual in some dark denim shorts but jazzed the outfit up with a gold Ann Taylor belt, my favorite espadrilles from Aldo and and Ann Taylor Loft striped top. Keeping it classic with red, white and blue is one of my favorite looks. I kept the jewelry simple with some sparkly studs and my two-toned Michael Kors watch. 

That's Casual Thursday

Our office is the breeding zone for some of the most casual work outfits around...still stylish and presentable, but casual none the less. I usually have something against mixing yellow and red (yes, it has something to do with the fact that it reminds me of mustard and ketchup). Today, however, I put my opinion aside and did a little red jean action with a yellow and white striped tee. Throw in a denim jacket and blinged out flats and that's a Thursday outfit. Gradually working in the denim to prepare myself for the best day of the week...Friday...Casual Friday.

Seeing Red

For years I have given my dad a hard time for wearing denim shirts and now I'm shamelessly browsing stores in search of another one for myself. Luckily for me, it was a little cooler this weekend and while out running errands, I wore this outfit. I wore leopard flats instead and my earrings were hearts...not skulls (I'm a lover, not a fighter...usually). Red pants make a statement and I'm not mad about it. Swipe on some red gloss and call it a day. I did.
