Sweater Leather

Leather can be scary. But why not soften it by wearing leather with something softer? Like pairing leather with a sweater. Leather trim to be exact.

This slouchy sweater is dressed up with a great neckline that gives some edge to something comfy.

A fabulous 3/4 length sweater from lambswool. A great chevron print with leather trim!
 
It's hard to see here, but the sleeves have a great leather argyle pattern.
 
Warm, chic and a touch of leather around the neck!
 
This is my kind of leather. Very subtle. What are you thinking? Big and bold or trimmed and tiny?

The Future is So Bright

Happy humpday lovebugs! We're getting there! Today we're going to look at some cords, but not a particular style, rather a color. We're looking at brights! Who says cords need to be in black or chocolate? Let's have some fun!

Nordstrom, KUT Diana skinny cords, $69
Woo! Sunglasses please! I love these bright orange cords, and the price!

Free People, Skinny Corduroys, $44
Thinking pink? Can't go wrong with there skinnies. 

I've posted them before and I'll probably do it again. Under $25 these would be perfect with black or brown boots.

Lands End, Fit 1 Slim Ankle Cord, $49
A great saturated green is perfect for fall.

Where are you finding the best cords this season? I love my chocolate brown cords, but sometimes you have to throw in the unexpected!

Paisley Please?

Let's take a traditionally summer pattern, paisley, and make it work for the cooler months. By picking the right colors you can make this pattern perfect for fall, winter, work, or play.

These colors are great for any skin tone. I might switch out the belt for something leather.

This oversized print is great for taller ladies, and the pleating at the waist will flatter just about anyone.

Modcloth, Swirled of Possibilities, $44
A simple shift is perfect for a fall weekend. I would pair this with a nice long charm necklace.

This dress is 50% off. It also comes in a golden yellow. It's got great clean lines that are good for work or play.

Don't let summer paisley keep you out in the cold! Try to mix it in with some other colors with a richer, darker hue.

Be fabulous today!

Tightly Woven

Hey there lovebugs,
Happy Monday. I hope you had a great weekend. Today we're looking at a clutch that is very intricate. It's the woven clutch, this great detail is such an easy way to dress up your go to weekend bag.

Piperlime, Roberta Frey Rafia Clutch, $98
I'm loving the oversized foldover on this clutch and the faint metallic weave is perfect for day or night.

This bag has a great Aztec pattern to it. Very different.

Nordstrom, Top Choice Woven Clutch, $26
This pattern reminds me of when I used to fold my Starburst wrappers together. Super fun and I love the price tag.

I'm obsessed with this bag. It's so chic and visually appealing. Square body but rounded hardware.

A good clutch is just that, clutch. But think about mixing in a great woven material to give the eye some interest.
