Spring into Action

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I hope you had a great weekend. The weather in DC is really feeling spring-like and I think it might stick. We're talking 70s and sunshine, perfect for skirts and denim jackets. So let's look at some April and May friendly skirts that make it easy to put away your sweaters and embrace the sun!

Loft, Striped Eyelet Skirt, $69

This skirt screams spring. I love it because you can dress it up for work with a blazer or dress it down with a tee.

Joe Fresh, Tulip Hem Skirt, $34

I really love this drawstring waist mixed with a dressier fabric and hem.

Asos, A Line Mini Skirt with Scallop Hem, $31

Lavender with scallops. What else does a girl need? Oh a sale price. Done.

Madewell, Ruffle Wrap Midi Skirt, $98

Floral and feminine. 

Before we get to blistering temps this summer, let's enjoy this beautiful weather and some springy skirts that show off our legs!

How Original

Florals for spring, how original. But hang on, florals have changed. They've been upgraded. Florals are not just Easter Sunday or pretty cupcake prints anymore, oh no. They're oversized, unexpected colors, and nothing you'd expect. Today we're taking on florals in work-ready pencil skirts.

Nordstrom, Cascade Detail Floral Print Pencil Skirt, $78

See what I told you? Didn't see this one coming. So crisp and fresh for spring.

River Island, Orange Floral Print Pencil Skirt, $20

A little That 70s Show but pair it with a silk bow blouse and you're ready for 9-5.

Ann Taylor, Curvy Hibiscus Pencil Skirt, $89

This skirt is going to hug your hips and slim your waist. 

TJ Maxx, Printed Scuba Pencil Skirt, $16

Can't beat the price! This is something out of an adult coloring book and I love it.

Don't pass on floral this spring. I promise you can find something that is going to work with tops that are already in your closet. Play with stripes or dots on top to really add a punch.

She's Got Flare

Let's talk denim. You've got your skinny, bf, distressed, jegging, but today we are throwing it back. Flared. Stay with me. You remember your bell bottoms and how long your legs looked. Well it's back and it's grown up. Flared jeans come in any wash and so many styles. Let's take a look.

Shopbop, Free People Jolene Flare Jeans, $78

Clean lines and the wash is "perfect navy" and it is.

Loft, Flare Jeans in Dark Rinse Wash, $69

Hello lovely price! I love a great Loft jean. They last forever.

Asos, Mango Midwash 70s Flare Jean, $47

This high waist jean is lengthening your leg and nipping in at the tiniest part of your waist.

French Connection, Belle Bottom Flared Jeans, $99

Laid back and ready to party. 

Bring back your flares. It's time to dress up your jeans and put on your heels. Your skinny jeans need a break.

Howdy Bootie

Last week we looked at some boots with buckles, sticking with the boot topic, let's go western. A little cowboy infused into our boot game. Something with sass, personality, and potential to jump on a horse at a moments notice (hey a girl can dream).

Amazon, Steve Madden Sogood Boot, $90

Real leather, which means these babies are just going to get softer every time you wear them.

American Eagle, Side Zip Western Bootie, $59

Here's a sturdy, yet fashionable boot that is going to work with jeans or cords.

Nordstrom, Sole Society Talisha Tassel Bootie, $99

I love an olive shoe because they are so versatile. 

Sole Society, Lucky Brand Sesame Heeled Suede Bootie, $95

Casual western with a 70s flair. Amazing.

It's bootie season so why not grab something that has some spunk? Try a western feel and mix it with a cable knit or moto jacket.

Anything but Quiet

Happy Monday lovebugs,
Let's kick off this week with a bang. I want to wake up this week with prints. Quirky, interesting, and unexpected prints. We are going beyond stripes and dots, I want to pull from the 70s style and artistic prints. Let's grab some attention with pieces you already wear daily.

Dorothy Perkins, Camel Geo Print Blouse, $44

Something a bit more retro but is completely easy to pair with pants, skirts, and the items in your closet.

Modcloth, Practitioner Makes Perfect, $89

When I think quirky prints, I think Modcloth and this dress does not disappoint!

Forever 21, Medallion Print Tapered Leg Pant, $14

These pants are going to be in rotation all year round. Picture it with a chunky oversized knit for now or a trapeze blouse for summer.

H&M, Blouse with Standup Collar, $17

So chic and breezy. I love this for work with a pencil skirt or wide leg slacks.

Prints are always eye catching but take them to the next level with 70s inspired, tribal, or more mod and you have a completely different look.

Smooth Operator

Let's play with suede. It is such a chic yet retro fabric that is perfect for outerwear. Suede is sleek and warm which is perfect when you need to bundle up and still look awesome. It is the epitome of 'oh this?' not trying too hard perfection.

Saks Off Fifth, Calvin Klein Faux Suede Jacket, $59

This jacket is currently 56% off. And when has CK ever steered you wrong?

Missguided, Collarless Suede Jacket, $68

I love the copper snap buttons on this jacket. Makes a chic coat a bit sporty.

Mango, Zippered Suede Jacket, $89

How about a beautiful cranberry suede? Perfect for winter to stand out among the black outerwear regular go tos.

Nordstrom, Bernardo Zip Front Suede Jacket, $99

Oh hello classic perfection. Adding you to my cart asap.

As you can see suede is uber-chic with that 70s vibe and careless air. Pick your color, you can't go wrong with this luxe fabric.

She's Got Flare

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I thought we would ease into the week with some casual looks with denim. As I've mentioned earlier, the 70s are a big deal this fall. Part of this trend is long leg flared denim. It creates a dynamite silhouette and you can find a pair that fits any budget.

Gap, 1969 Resolution Skinny Flare Jean, $69

Gap makes a really solid jean and I love this simple yet sleek look.

Asos, First & I Flared Jeans, $51

A lighter wash and a higher wash, very 70s. Also love her sweater.

Loft, Flare Jeans in Dark Rinse Wash, $79

I love a dark wash with no fading or whispering. They create a long line and are easily dressed up or down.

Nordstrom, Two by Vince Camuto Classic 70s Flare, $89

The name says it all. These jeans were made for the 70s and they are oh so fab with long sleeve floral, drapey sweater, or simple tee.

Flared denim is not your middle school bell bottom. It is tailored, fitted, and ready for some heels. Preferably chunky or stacked heel for maximum impact.

You Can Ring My Bell

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.

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Laundry by Shelli Segal Honeycomb Wrap Dress, $89

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.

Nordstrom, Loveappella Seamed Wrap Dress, $78

I can't tell you how often you're going to pull out this dress. It's absolutely stunning in this deep navy. Dress is up or down with shoes and jewelry.

JCPenny, Liz Claiborne 3/4 Sleeve Belted Wrap Dress, $34

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.
