Hi lovelies! I hope everyone is having a fantastic week so far! This week I've been in the mood to switch things up from my typical black trousers and black blouse, tank, sweater, you name it! When I think of Fall I think of layers so styling myself with a vest was a no brainer! I like that vests give you many looks depending on which top is worn and can easily transition from casual to edgy in an instant! 

Leaning more towards edgy, leather is the perfect staple. What makes these Banana leggings great is the mixed material; leather on the front, stretchy cotton on the back! These are one of those universal bottoms that will fit any size and shape, petite, curvy, boyish, or tall! And since they're ankle length you can strut in any shoe and they be completely visible! I decided on the burgundy suede Adelia's to contrast the olive green vest. Unfortunately, this BR vest is sold out but I've found a number that will look killer!

Hi Dolls! Happy Friday! I don't know about you but I'm so stoked Fall is here...and Friday! I'm working my way step by step to break away from summery items. The solution...spaghetti straps and chunky cardigans! It's where I find that happy medium. Or maybe it's just my way not not being able to completely let go of Summer! When the afternoon sun is at it's peak I can go bare armed around town...the second that bay breeze rushes in I'm ready!

I'm wearing a Theory tank I located online at Shopbop! I love that they have the 'heart it' feature so if your favorite item gets marked down, you'll be the first to know! It's totally worth diving through the site to pick out your favorites and let ShopBop do the rest! Distressed jeans have because a regular for me recently. My favorite thing to pair distressed skinnies with are comfy tops and chunky cardigans. Unfortunately, there aren't enough casual Friday's in the week for me to wear them more often! Till next time, here are some more chunky cuties that'll keep you cozy this Fall!

xoxo

Hi lovelies! I hope everyone is having a great week! The weekend will be here before we know it! When it comes to dressing for work, especially the office, you don't have to compromise your style. Today I decided on a crisp white lace skirt. It could easily look a bit on the dressy side due to it's fit so I paired with a wool blazer to pull of a more professional look. My work style motto: Make everyday desk to dinner!

Here are other great lace skirts out there! Check out BR, they've got a few currently marked down!
Till next time...Ciao!
