Twirl So Hard

Happy Friday Eve!

I thought we would dress things up around here and play. When we were younger that mean putting on something fun and twirling. We don't twirl enough anymore. Right? You know what twirls super well? Pleated maxi skirts. I really love the patterned ones because they're punchy, unexpected, and twirly.

Asos, Pleated Maxi Skirt in Polka Dot, $68 $32

Picture this: night out with a black silk came and tassel earrings THEN Saturday afternoon chambray button down and tie the waist. 

TJ Maxx, Printed Pleated Maxi Skirt, $75

Oh hey Badgley Mischka for under $100!

H&M, Chiffon Skirt, $59

I dare you to have a bad day in this skirt.

Shoptiques, Glam Squad Tribal Maxi Skirt, $34

This pattern has movement, even standing still, it's got style.

So get to twirling. Play with patterns, don't let a maxi skirt shy you away from prints. These skirts make an impact in the best ways possible!

Ankle Envy

Last month we looked at some great lace up espadrilles. Today we are taking that trend into the evening hours with some truly fabulous lace up heels. These shoes are sassy and so much fun to mix and match with dresses or jeans.

Topshop, Rapping Ankle Tie Sandals, $45

I mean, come on. Did I deliver? How amazing are these block heeled beauties?

Sole Society, Madeline Lace up Pump, $79

An elevated take on the lace up flat trend. These are going to transition perfectly into fall.

Asos, Lost Ink Catch Black Soft Tie Wrap Shoe, $52

Date night, meet your match.

Dillard's, Steve Madden Rizzaa Sandals, $79

A little festival chic in cognac and that is fine with me.

Play with the ankle wrap, bow, and tie when you wear these heels. They are cute but not in a quirky way; in more of a 'dang girl' kind of way. And that's a good thing.

Carefree Kimono

Let's play with sleeves today. Something a bit different than your regular short, long, 3/4 length. Let's look at kimono sleeves. They give tops a relaxed feel with a elegant touch. A blousy feel that is great for any season, any time.

Macy's, ECI Kimono Sleeve Tie Waist Blouse, $48

How beautiful is this blouse? It's professional and eye catching. Play with the belt and mix in your own.

Amazon, Vince Camuto Wrapfront Kimono Sleeve Blouse, $25

Looking for a staple work piece? You've got to get this crisp white top.

Asos, Closet Tie Front Dress with Kimono Sleeve, $73

And speaking of work staples...this navy dress. Tell me this doesn't go from boardroom to cocktails.

Loft, Nautical Kimono Jacket, $49

And now for something  little more casual. A beautiful and cozy option as the weather starts to cool off (eventually).

Such a small detail can make a major impact. I love the kimono sleeve because it is graceful and feminine but it can translate from lounge to professional so easily.
