Split Sides

When I think of a side slit two things come to mind: a pencil skirt that's trying to hard or an oversized tunic. We're looking at neither of these things today. This side slit is quiet and unassuming. It's a small detail on these tops that kind of make the look.

Nordstrom, Lush Side Slit Tank, $34

Simple. It also comes in eight other colors so have some fun.

Macy's, Freshman Juniors' Side Slit Mock Neck, $24

Nothing about this says hippy tunic, this is modern and chic.

BCBGeneration, Faux Leather Side Slit Collar Top, $20

We all need this top. Its sassy with stitched stipe details and a collar.

Victoria's Secret, Side Slit Anytime Tee, $34

Comfort meets style. I like the athletic look of this tee but the slit really steps it up a notch.

I'm a sucker for simple details and the side slit top is no exception. Dress it up, down or take it from desk to drinks. It's an easy style.

I'll Have a Wrap

I love a wrap dress. It's easy, form-flattering and classic. I also love that the wrap style is making its way into tops. A faux wrap top is an effortless way to create a shape. Solid, patterned, cotton, or silk these picks are perfect for fall.

This blouse comes in almost a dozen pattern options. I like the draped collar and high wrap neckline. No need for a cami underneath.

Rub You the Wrong Way

It's Monday, which is a huge bummer but it also ankle strap sandal day here on the blog, and if that doesn't blow your dress up, I don't know what to tell you.

The ankle strap style is a classic and one that you will see year round on a stiletto, a flat, or even a flatform. The key to a comfortable ankle strap is the width. You don't want it cutting off your circulation, but you also don't want it to rub. Look for a strap with a substantial width. This will give you a nice balance of style and comfort.

Victoria's Secret, Ankle Strap Mid Heel Sandal, $78

Let's talk about this sandal for a moment. The color is one that can be paired with everything from white to cobalt (yes, cobalt), the mid heel height means its the perfect shoe for a wedding where you know you'll be dancing a lot. The kicker? Where these with a relaxed bf jean and a roomy top on Friday night.

Hello. I mean. Wow. Nice wide lines on this shoe. And the color really does the talking.

These Boots are Made for Buying

It's still cold outside. And to me, the easiest thing to throw on in the cold is a pair of flat boots. They can pull any outfit together and if you get through the first round of blisters, you'll have them for years to come. Now the difficulty is finding them under $100. And while I find nothing wrong with investing in something you'll have for a long time, it's nice to know there are also some affordable options out there. 

Victoria's Secret, Quilted Riding Boot, $79

Gorgeous, supple suede that is a great combination with these colors.

Stepped Up Jeans

Coated jeans have been huge this season. They are a great alternative to the usual denim, a bit dressier without trying too hard. One color that I really love in this style is the red or merlot. How often do you get a chance to wear red pants? This deep red is such an easy go to.
