I’m
starting a monthly recap wherein I will highlight my top 5 outfit posts from
the month. These are outfits SO good that I might actually repeat them (but please don’t tell anyone!).
When I received this sweater
for Christmas, the obvious and simple choice seemed to be to style it with
jeans. However, I want to challenge myself and style it as part of a dressy
ensemble first. I selected my black ruffle skirt and it ended up being the
perfect pair to my “Pardon My French” sweater. If I repeat, I am likely to
select a different shoe—maybe my new oxfords or a pair of heels.
Thrifting this pleated
tennis skirt has totally started a new obsession and I suspect it will turn out
much like the one with secretary blouses (I have 10). This was the first time I
styled this skirt and I loved the simplicity of the two solids together. I’ll
probably wear this outfit again out to dinner.
I’ve seen plenty of bloggers
wear shirts over dresses, but I
haven’t seen many wear a shirt under
a dress in this style. Every once and a while, I am randomly inspired to put
two seemingly random pieces together. Even more rarely than that—those two
pieces seem to work together in perfect harmony. I would have never thought
that an LBD and a plaid shirt could be such good friends—an unlikely pairing
that works!
When I began focusing on
building my professional wardrobe this fall, I wanted to add more button up
shirts, and boy, did I. This one, a striped blouse by Ralph Lauren, is in
perfect condition and looks great dressed up and with jeans!
This post was inspired by a
Ralph Lauren ad which paired a rugby shirt with a blazer. I typically think of
wearing rugby shirts in a super casual way—like with jeans. Dressing it up with
a blazer and skirt expands its versatility in my wardrobe. I’ll definitely try
this look again with some tweaking.
