Come Sail Away

Here we are. Friday Eve. Thank goodness. I'm ready for the weekend, sunshine, and summer. While I might be city bound, I'm dreaming of the sea. I love the boat motif for women's clothing because it's graphic yet nautical. You don't need stripes or high waisted sailor pants (though, they don't hurt) you can wear a boat and they're adorable.

Jack Wills, Raddery Sailing Print Dress, $89

So sweet. I love this for a night out on the (beach) town.

Bluefly, Wyatt White and Navy Sailboat Print Racerback Tank, $34

A simple tank that is completely versatile, heck I'd wear it under a blazer to work on a Friday.

Modcloth, Light Seas, Cool Breeze Dress, $59

Shirt dress in the most unique shape. Check out the way this waist knot nips in at then waist.

Sperry, What Floats Your Boat Triangle Bikini Top, $24

Half off right now!! And look at the detail with the ship wheel ties!

Whether you're going to the surf or stuck on the sand, the boat print is perfect for summer!

Blue's Clues

We all know that radiant orchid is the color of 2014, but I'm not quite over this beautiful blue. I'm talking about cobalt. It's so rich and eye catching and I can't get enough of it. It pairs beautifully with yellows, plums, and even black.

Bluefly, Wyatt cobalt and white color block blouse, $51

This strong blouse commands attention. The black lines are cut perfectly, and yet, the shirt is a sheer lightweight material making the top feel airy and feminine.

Neiman Marcus, Kendra Scott Dayla small drop earring, $65

This statement earring is all you need to complete the perfect lbd look or maybe throw on some jeans and loose blouse with these beauties.

Banana Republic, Lightweight Wool Pencil Skirt, $89

Ok, here's something I will spend on. This is a well constructed pencil skirt in a material that is four seasons. It's fully lined, double vented, and a beautiful alternative to navy.

LandsEnd, Fit 1 Corduroy Ankle Pants, $18

Ankle pant cords are perfect for this time of year and into early spring. Throw on heels show some ankle and get going.

Cobalt is that perfect shade of blue for all four seasons. You can find it on bags, shoes, clothes, jewelry you name it. Why is it so popular? Because this vibrant color looks great on everyone.

Walk the Panel

We all know leather is huge this season. Leather shoulder details, leather jackets, even leather pants. Don't worry we'll get there with the last one. Today I thought we would start slowly and look at some leather panel pants. Let's get our feet wet ladies.

Shopbob, Black Denim Paneled Skinny Jeans, $89

 I like this option because the jean has a bit more structure than your standard legging.

Lord and Taylor, J Cooper Ponte Riding Pant with Faux Leather Panels, $54

These are adorable! The equestrian flair is so sexy in leather!

Wyatt, Black Stretch Faux Leather Side Panel Leggings, $59

Originally $109 these leggings are easy to dress up with a silk button down and some bling.

Bloomingdale's, Aqua Pants Moto Cross Faux Leather Combo, $68

And a blue option, because why not?

Leather panel pants are a great way to ease into the full on leather pant trend. Pair these bottoms with a blazer for work or a denim jacket for girls night out.

Plum Luck

It's been too long since we've done a nail polish inspired post. And I'm feeling plumy. Look at this gorgeous OPI Plugged in Plum color.

Bluefly, Wyatt Plum Lace Peplum, $39

Originally $117. You can't beat this girly peplum top!

Bluefly, Romeo & Juliet Couture Plum Stretch Skinny Jeans, $65

I don't think this model will ever need to understand "stretch" jeans but for the rest of us, these rock.

DuWop Cosmetics, LashLaquer Conditioning Mascara in Plum, $20

Yes plum! Do you have green eyes? Try purple mascara for an extra kick!

Modcloth, Rebecca to Basics Dress, $49

Oh how comfy does this maxi look? The beautiful waistband is a little boho-chic.

As you may know by now, purple is my favorite color; and these saturated version like plum are just beautiful.

Accordion Skirts

Accordion skirts are a ladylike style that I'm loving for the winter. They have great flow and go with just about anything.

Forever 21, polka dot accordion skirt, $24

I love the ribbon waistband and we all know I'm a sucker for dots.

Modcloth, Plumes in Paradise Skirt, $81

I'd pair this with a tie neck blouse. Perfect for work.

Wyatt, Olive Chiffon Short Accordion Skirt, $65

This is a great mini, I'd pair it with tights are a v-neck sweater.

Macy's, Accordion Pleated Faux Leather Waistline A-Line, $22

This is gorgeous. I love the chocolate color, I love the waist, together it's very retro.

Do you own any accordion skirts? They're a great option to mix in with your pencil skirts.

Today's post is about the perfect semi-dressy outfit for __________. You know what I mean, church, Christmas dinner, holiday party, take your pick.  You want to look fabulous (obvi) but you don't want to look like a walking Christmas card either.  My advice is to stick with a few basics: cords, chunky sweaters, dresses and skirts with tights.  Use your accessories to show you Christmas spirit.
