Give Me A Twirl

A great skirt is essential for your Monday through Friday domination. Might I recommend an accordion skirt that has movement and grace. It's a skirt that will work for all seasons and all weather. Pleats and all.

I dare you to find a better deal. Also comes in merlot or black.

Everlane, The Pleated Skirt, $88

Pick your staple color: navy or black. This is a workhorse skirt.

Loft, Shimmer Pleated Skirt, $12

I kid you not. This price. Also comes in a steel shimmer.

Ok, is it a splurge? Maybe. But look at the fit and the movement and the tiny black detail hem!

A great pleated skirt is perfect for twirling, I mean the office. It's sophisticated and chic while also being perfectly playful.

Well I Heard You Were A Wild One

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I don't know about you, but I had a fantastic weekend when a friend from college and her fiancé came to visit. Great weather, good girl talks, and late nights. Pretty perfect.

Today I thought we would look into some fall jackets. It's mid-October and while some days are still hitting 70, the mornings are chilly. A classic coat is the motorcycle jacket. It is chic and timeless in the same way as a pearl necklace, but not so sweet around the edges Believe it or not, these jackets can be found for under $100.

Max Studio, Designer Leatherette Moto Jacket, $118 $58

I like this jacket because of it's boxy silhouette. It's got more of an urban cool feel.

Gilt, Cotton Motorcycle Jacket, $177 $89

How about a cotton moto jacket? So different!

Uniqlo, Women Riders Single Jacket, $69

Gotta love Uniqlo for delivering the trends without the price tag.

JCPenny, Belle + Sky Pleather Moto Jacket, $100 $59

Think moto isn't feminine. Boom.

Think twice before you spend an arm and a leg on a motorcycle jacket. There are great options in the double digits that will keep you stylish and warm.

Play the Accordion

Earlier this month we looked at some great printed maxi skirts. They are playful, elegant, and versatile for summer into fall. Today I thought we would look at some great pleated maxi dresses that scream summer but transition well to fall with the right jean jacket or cardi.

Nordstrom Rack, Garcia Accordion Pleated Colorblock Maxi Dress, $59

The fiancé and I have a 'no spend August' thing going on this month. If we didn't...this would already by in my closet. I love the contrasting colors, trim, and lines!

Asos, Pleated Maxi Dress in Dip Dye, $27

The price on this is unbeatable. Throw on some of yesterday's beaded earrings and you are ready to go!

Buckle, Hyfve Pleated Maxi Dress, $39

Have a warm weather fall wedding to attend? This is your go to dress.

JCPenny, Rebecca B Ombre Sleeveless Pleated Maxi, $59

Warm night, sunset party/date/wedding? Yes. 

Maxi accordion pleats are one of my favorite styles for warm weather. I think they are easily dressed up or down with minimal effort. Play with colors, patterns, or solids to really have some fun.

Colorful Culottes

Let's talk culottes. They're back and I think we've figured out how to style them. We being us normal lady bosses who are just trying to look amazing on a daily basis. Culottes are tough but I think with the soft pant trend we embraced last summer, culottes are a little easier to wear. Today we're looking at some great printed options.

Nordstrom, Olivia Palermo + Chelsea28 Floral Print Silk Culottes, $98

I need these pants. Is gifting for St. Patrick's Day a thing? Can we make it a thing? Because this is what I want.

Shoptiques, Endless Rose Melrose Culotte, $69

Is it a skirt? Nope, just the most comfortable high waisted culottes ever. Finish the look with this matching top.

Nordstrom, ASTR Lola High Rise Floral Culotte, $84

 I usually try not to post two of the same retailer in one post, but when you've got it, you've got it. This print reminds me of an adult coloring book in the best spring way possible.

JCPenny, Worthington Wide Cropped Pant, $40 $9

Want to try the trend without the investment? I've got you covered. A neon floral oversized print for under ten bucks.

So how about it? Ready to try the trend? Sure you can grab a navy or black pair and test the waters, but why not dive in? The waters fine. Go with a print. You're going to look amazing.

Makes Wide Turns

It's Tuesday and I don't know about you, but I need some motivation. Some inspiration, and an outfit with an exclamation...point. It's ridiculously cold out right now so I've put the tights away and I'm all about pants, but snooze not, I'm loving this season's wide leg trousers that are high fashion but not high in price.

Nordstrom, Halogen Flat Front Wide Leg Pants, $88

A beautiful, leg lengthening pant that is sure to turn some heads.

JCPenny, Liz Claiborne Sophie Secretly Slender Houndstooth Trousers, $27

This charcoal houndstooth is going to go with every sweater in your closet.

Everlane, Slouchy Wide Leg Pant, $88

I love that they've styled these pants with flats. So often wide leg pants require heels but this pair is great with loafers.

Macy's, Free People Oxanna Velvet Flared Pant, $89

So chic. High waisted and perfect with a sweater, blazer, or silk blouse.

A wide leg pant is great for the middle of winter. Don't bother shaving your legs, and look runway ready in these trousers.

So Over the Knee

The over the knee boot trend is something that (surprisingly) stuck this year. The problem is that they are usually over $100. Not to worry lovebugs. I have done the research, and I have found some great options that won't break the bank.

Nordstrom, Bell Vita Romy, $84

I love this boot. It's a classic. I also love that it comes in extended calf sizes.

This zipper on the diagonal is something quite different. Also comes in extended calf.

So luxurious. These boots are going to be your go to.

Forever 21, Faux Suede OTK, $45

A very sexy boot. Quite the statement maker, even in olive.

Ruff Around the Edges

Amazon, French Connection Sausage Dog Sweater, $44

Sausage dog. I love this. So chic!

Prefer a pug? I've got you covered.

Wrapped in Style

Happy hump day, it's a great day because we're talking wrap dresses. The ultimate throw on and go outfit that is great for fall weather. I love a great print for this style of dress. This season the 70s are back and bold prints and open necklines are perfect for a wrap dress.

Check out this oversized collar, it is stunning. 

Lord and Taylor, Adrianna Papell Printed Wrap Dress, $90

These billowy sleeves are super feminine. A great sized print makes this easy for any occasion.

A pop of red is lovely for fall. You can add on a blazer if needed or just enjoy it on its own.

A great wrap dress works for any silhouette and most are machine washable. A great option to go from desk to drinks.
