Guest Post: DC Girl in Pearls

Hi, everyone! It's Lauren from DC Girl in Pearls. As the lovely Kelsey is on vacation this week, she asked me to guest post and I was more than happy to! Today we're talking about the Saturday night out on the town outfit. This can be tricky because it seems most of my nights out start at brunch with gal pals that leads to shopping that leads to a light dinner that leads to going out. So what you need is an outfit that will take you from brunch to midnight. Never fear, it can be done! 

Top | Skirt | Jacks | Arrow Bracelet | Link Bracelet | Cuff Bracelet 

A couple of weeks ago, I purchased this skirt from the J.Crew Factory Store and while I haven't worn it yet, I am rather excited for an opportunity to bring this skirt out of my wardrobe now that the weather is cooperating! The stripes and glitter add a touch of whimsy and I pull it together with a chambray top (undo an extra button if you're feeling risque after hours) and match with gold sandals and accessories. This outfit is perfectly suited for a rooftop brunch with your girlfriends as well as flirting with a handsome stranger later that evening. 

Thanks for reading my guest post and I hope to see you on DC Girl in Pearls soon! You can also me on Twitter, Pinterest & Instagram!

Guest Post: Capital Style

Hey there everybody! It's Emily Kate from Capital Style here. Kelsey asked me to keep you company while she's on vacation, so here I am. Now, when I sat down to think about my perfect weekend outfit (the subject Kelsey asked me to write about), I realized I don't so much have a perfect outfit, but a perfect piece that I've been using over and over this spring to make many perfect weekend outfits. Sooo, I hope she doesn't mind, but I took a little creative license with the post topic and am writing about my perfect weekend piece - my utility jacket!

The weather has been all sorts of annoying so far this season. One day it's in the 40's, the next the 80's and sometimes, it's both in the same day. My jacket (which happens to be the 3rd from left above sans belt) has been the perfect compliment to a wide range of looks for a wide range of activities/events/life. From grubby "throw on a t-shirt, jeans and flip-flops and drag myself out for coffee" to want to look nice for a day of brunch and shopping to it might be cold at the baseball game tonight - I've worn similar version of all these looks (except for the shorts one) over the last few weeks.

You can pair it with just about anything - skirts, shorts, dresses... This one is a Mural Utility Jacket available at Nordstrom ($59) and the rest of the outfit details are available HERE. So how about you? Do you have a perfect weekend outfit or do you have a piece that compliments lots of options?

Guest Post: Rosa Loves DC

Hello Capital Barbie readers, I'm Rosa Loves DC and I am so excited to share with you about my perfect Saturday outfit. 

I basically run errands on Saturday mornings: a trip to the grocery store, a stop at the farmers market, a visit to the vet with my Chihuahua Lola, a doctor's appointment, you name it. Of course a date lunch with friends or my husband is pretty much on my Saturday agenda as well. So my perfect outfit consists of skinny jeans, a blouse, and comfortable flats. I also love to add a little sparkle with a necklace. You can say that comfort is always on my mind when thinking about outfit options on Saturday.

Thank you Kelsey for inviting to guest post here on your fabulous blog.

Hello Capital Barbie readers! I'm Emily from Blue Dog Belle and I'm so happy to be with y'all today! As a fellow DC girl TCB is my daily go-to for district style, so I was thrilled when Kelsey asked me to put together my perfect Saturday outfit. 

Normally on a Saturday you will find me running around town catching up on errands, spending time at eastern market or maybe a baseball game. I'm all about comfort during the weekend, but that doesn't mean you can't still look cute. 

My first rule is to leave your contacts in the case and give your eyes a rest. I'm loving these Warby Parker 

Warby Parker, Percey Eyeglasses, $95

Now since springtime has finally arrived, add in some color. It's clear that the color blocking and neon trends are just as hot this year, so why not embrace it? I normally go for a comfy tee shirt, and these v-neck gap ones are so soft and not too tough on the wallet. Pick one up in every color.  

Gap, Neon V-Neck Pocket T, on sale $8

I love to pair a jersey skirt with a tee for running around town. It's more chic than your average pair of shorts, but just as easy. 

Nordstrom, Top Shop High Waist A-line Skirt, $68

Then, who doesn't love a bit of sparkle on the weekend? I'm loving that it's full on sandal weather again, and these Steve Maddens are definitely on my wishlist.

Thanks for having me Kelsey!
