Short-Sleeved Sweater







I got a manicure on vacation, a rarity indeed, it's been like 5 years(!!!!) since my last one. 
This is a scarf/vest hybrid type of garment, last seen here. 






jacket-Mikkat Marget(similar here), sweater-BCBG via Le Tote, scarf-BCBG(similar here), pants-Gap, necklace-Forever 21(similar here), watch-Nixon via Urban Outfitters, ring-Jewel Mint bracelet-Le Tote
Yes, this is the same jacket from yesterday's post, BUT that doesn't mean I wore it for two outfits in a row. Come on, I'm no outfitting amateur over here. Anyway, I love the idea of a short-sleeved sweater for fall, great for wearing under jackets and blazers without feeling too bulky, and even though this was a Le Tote piece I've decided to keep it. I'm thinking it would work well over LBDs and button-down shirts later in the season. 

 Also, I think this fall is going to be strong on black, white, grey, and beige for me. I've been reading about this season's trends and there's an emphasize on metallic florals and rave prints, but I'm not feeling it. Instead I plan on riding my normcore wave a bit longer leaning toward more neutral and minimalist looks.  

 What are you outfitting plans for Fall '14?

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's  Dallas .  It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show.  Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic!  I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit.  Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here  I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here .  Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set. Here's a referral link to also become an ambassador for discounts ...
