I went on a little bit of a hiatus from this navy skirt from Zara and didn't wear it very much when I first got it. But over the past six months or so, it has quickly become one of my most-loved pieces. It pairs well with so many textures, colors and patterns. I love this blood orange and navy combo. Both colors are rich and ...

Neon After Summer?
I've been talking a lot about fall lately because a lot of my readers have asked about transitioning pieces into fall. Neon is the perfect example of something that's tougher to bring into fall. I paired my neon pink sweater with a deep burgundy skirt and added warm, gold accessories---a perfect way to wear neon into ...
Striped Blouse For the Win & We Got a New Car!
I blogged about how much I love stripes last week and when I saw this gorgeous striped blouse on fellow blogger and teacher extraordinaire Tara from Mix and Match Fashion, I just had to have it...plus, it was 50% off! Blouse- The Limited (on sale!) Skirt- J.Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt Shoes- Nine West Martina Necklace- c/o Stella ...
Stripes & Lace
I absolutely adore my recent purchase of the rugby stripe boatneck tops from J.Crew. Though someone told me they are dry clean only (I didn't notice when I got them) I can get a few wears out of them before I have to send them away for cleaning. I love the way the bold, thick stripes look. Today I paired the preppy top with lace and ...
Bright Into Fall
It's still summer and it's still hot and I'm milking that for all it's worth. That means wearing as much white, bright and neon as I can before I start getting weird looks (though, thankfully, the fall color palette is full of brights so I'll be able to carry a lot of my items over). When I was getting dressed this morning I wanted to wear a ...
The Silk Blouse
When I don't know what to wear in the morning, I always reach for a dress shirt. It's the always appropriate, can't-go-wrong choice. I especially love this silk dress blouse from Banana Republic. It's a perfect off-white color and the fabric feels luxurious and a little fancier than cotton. The other thing I love about a silk blouse? ...
Blood Orange for Summer & Fall
I absolutely LOVE the Hunter Dixon blouse I purchased at a trunk show held by my friend and fellow blogger Nina. In fact, we are planning on hosting a trunk show together sometime soon :) Now, it's not getting any cooler anytime soon here in Texas, but this blouse is the perfect example of a transition piece that can be styled for summer ...
Pleats, Please
Today I wore my Banana Republic accordian pleat skirt and it continues to be one of my favorite new pieces. You can see how I styled it previously in my Banana Republic Desk to Dinner post. Even though it is more of an A-line shape, it wears just as well as a classic pencil skirt and is just as versatile. Fuller skirts with pleating ...
Bright As the Sun
Hello, yellow. As I mentioned in my post where I got to rent a dress from Houston's New for the Night, yellow is a color that has always been out of my comfort zone. But when I saw that J.Crew's Lucille dress also came in a sunny yellow lace, I couldn't resist (I got it on sale, too!) Dress- J.Crew (buy it here)Belt- ...
Orange You Glad I Heart Coral? & Bubble Necklaces for $19.99!
I always shyed away from coral and orange colors, but this summer, I've embraced coral, blood orange and everything in between. In fact, two of my most recent outfits have featured pretty pops of orange: In addition to adding lots of pink, green and blue to my wardrobe this summer, I'm glad I also stepped out of my comfort zone ...
