Mostly Sunny/Partly Cloudy

One Jumpsuit Done Two Ways




I was looking through some of my favorite websites, trying to decide what my next post would be on when I saw this jumpsuit. I hate to say that it 'jumped' out at me (so cheesy, I know), but it did. I immediately knew that it was a piece that could be styled many ways. For time's sake, I chose two different looks.

The first look (mostly sunny) is styled specifically for the hot, sunny days that are most certainly ahead of us. I really like pairing aviators and a fedora together. They just seem to be a natural match. The scarf adds a little visual interest to the top of the jumpsuit and looks chic with the hat and glasses. The stacking rings are another cool accessory in an all-together cool look. This is a look that is completely 'me' and I would wear it in a heartbeat! (Did I just call myself cool? Because I'm most certainly not! More like, borderline nerd with hopefully decent taste).

The next look (partly cloudy) is probably more appropriate for those cooler, cloudy days that hit in early spring. Just because the weather may be cool and cloudy, doesn't mean your outfit has to be drab! The bright blazer will keep your arms covered and keeps the jumpsuit from looking too summer-like. I really like the floral scarf with the hummingbird bracelet. The bracelet and delicate earrings keep this look pretty and elegant.

I found several different blazers (here and here) that I thought would be appropriate with this second look as well. Take your pick!

Have a great Wednesday!

Leather Pants: 3 Ways to Wear Them

Leather Pants: 3 Ways to Wear Them

Here are just a few examples on how I like to style leather pants. I really like the boot in the first look. Mixing brown boots and accessories with black leather adds a 'cool' vibe to the ensemble. I also love the little bull ring. It gives this look a modern, cowgirl-esque vibe. (At least, that is what I would wear if I were a horse wrangler on a ranch). Since I don't work on a ranch (thank goodness because I am terrified of horses), I will just stick to wearing this around town.

I did a post on loafers not too long ago. You can read it here. I still have not ordered mine, but when I do, I will be wearing them with a chambray shirt for sure! I also like how the cross-body bag keeps the entire look casual.

With most looks, I like to throw in something a little unexpected. These little stud earrings by Marc Jacobs add the perfect hint of unexpected to the third look. A wedge boot makes the outfit casual enough to wear during the day. Try swapping them for a pair of heels and add dramatic earrings to transition this look into evening attire.

I think the first look is my favorite. Which is yours?

Loving Loafers!

Loving Loafers!



I am obsessed with the loafer trend! Upon first glance, they remind me of something that an old man would wear. I can picture an elderly (esteemed) gentleman wearing a robe, a pair of loafer-esque slippers, and smoking a cigar. So why, you ask, would I want to look like THAT? Heck, I don't know! I just love it and you better believe that I am on my way to DSW today to see if they have this pair of flats that I recently spotted online. :)

I think that a loafer in a bright color paired with skinny jeans would be super cute. I'm sure that if I am careful with my styling, 'old man' will not be the look that I communicate.

What are your thoughts on this trend?
