Proper Pleats

Some people despise shopping for work, I love it. I think it's like playing dress up. Corporate barbie, casual cool, or fashion forward. I especially love trying something out of the box that shouldn't work but it does; like pattern mixing, culottes, or pleats! Today let's look at some super chic pleated pants that will turn heads for all of the right reasons at the office.

Macy's, Calvin Klein Pleated Trousers, $64

Command the room in these sleek pants. Picture it with a silk blouse.

Nordstrom, Topshop Peg Leg Trouser, $48

I'd mix these casual pants with heels and a neck scarf.

Brooks Brothers, Wool Drawstring Pants, $148 $44

Tell me where else you find a wool trouser for under fifty bucks. Gorgeous.

Banana Republic, Avery Fit Jacquard Pleated Pant, $98 $48

A great cropped pant that is fantastic for warmer weather and even through fall. 

A pleated pant has such an old-school professionalism vibe that you can't help but feel a little Mad Men in them.

Falling for Plaid

It may be a bit early to talk plaid but when you mix it with a lighter fabric, you're good. That's why we're looking at silk plaid. It's got the masculine print mixed with the ladylike medium of silk.

Saks Off Fifth, Equipment Slim Signature Silk Plaid Shirt, $258 $89

65% off. I repeat, Equipment blouse 65% off. 

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Nicole Miller Artelier Jillian Plaid Drape Pants, $82

I love these pants. A high fashion designer making a casual yet professional pant. These are going to look great with heels.

Lord & Taylor, Lucky Brand Long Sleeve Silk Top, $79

Side note to this great top. How amazing is this model's hair? 

Brooks Brothers, Linen and Silk Blend Plaid Scarf, $74

This scarf is going to look fantastic with your cable knit sweaters or waffle knit thermal tees. 

Yes plaid is traditionally a winter print, but this isn't wool plaid or fleece plaid, this is silk plaid and it's made for fall. Still not convinced? Lighten it up with some baubles or a jean jacket.

Bring It Rain

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. The weather in DC was phenomenal. Sunshine, breeze, and the perfect temps...and then the rain came. Par for the course in April. So today I thought we would look at some rain footwear that are not your standard wellies. Step up your rain game with these options.

Zappos, Chooka Solid Duck Skimmer, $55

There is something so cheerful about yellow in the rain. I love these skimmers for spring.

Brooks Brothers, Rubber Penny Loafers, $98

Alright Brooks Brothers, I see you. Preppy meets rain, win win.

River Island, Black Glitter Ankle Rubber Boots, $40

Great price point on these modified wellies. I like this style recently because it reminds me of the Chelsea style boot from this winter. 

Nordstrom, Kate Spade Jove Jelly Skimmer, $73

Even our girl Kate is getting into the skimmer game! You really can't go wrong with a punch of pink in the rain.

Don't let the rain bring you down with wet stilettos, slide into some rain flats, skimmers, and boots for some real style.

All Tasseled Up

Happy humpday lovebugs,
I love earrings, probably because they add the perfect addition or enhancement so close to your face. They can stud, dangle, or in today's case tassel. We've looked at other tassel accessories in the past, but today let's look at tassel earrings.

Brooks Brothers, Stone and Tassel Drop Earring, $64

These are half off and they are a steal in my opinion. Just beautiful, and you can't beat Brooks Brothers quality.

BaubleBar, Snow Pearl Tassel Drops, $26

Oh just so classy. Perfect for a sundress for evening or LBD.

Macy's, Jessica Simpson Gold Island Blue Stone and Chain Tassel, $24

A little rocker-chic from J. Simp. I dig it.

Max and Chloe, Kenneth Jay Lane Tassel Earrings, $52

Simple, elegant, and so easy to mix in with just about anything.

Tassels don't seem to be going away anytime soon. We seem them on jewelry, bags, shoes, you name it. Try these beautiful earrings and get some guaranteed compliments.
