Mid Summer









Blouse: Sway; Skirt: Forever 21; Oxfords: Franco Sarto; Clutch: H&M; Silver Ring: Recent gift from my parent's Swedish trip; Bracelet: Vintage; Other Rings: Vintage
The summer months have been rolling by fast--
cannot believe it is almost the end of July!!
I wore this look to work yesterday, so the longer skirt was an appropriate necessity. 
I also love this cut out blouse from Sway, especially its metallic studded collar!

maxi








Button Up: Broadway & Broome, Madewell; Maxi Skirt: Pete, Loft; Tasseled Woven Loafers: Mom's hand-me-downs; Gold Rings: Vintage;  Bangles: Vintage; Red Leather Bag: Vintage, Mom's  again :p
I am obsessed with this maxi that I recently purchased. 
Since I am pretty short, I typically stay clear of the maxi lengths, 
but this maxi skirt has amazing lines, giving it a really beautiful shape.
I couldn't resist it... and it was on sale, so holla!

Cool Summer

Once I was done with work, 
I met up with Jackie and we quickly pulled together a shoot.
I've been toning down the bright colors recently, 
and playing around with more subtle shades. 
I love this tan dress: the print is interesting but not overwhelming, 
and its layered look gives the dress a really nice shape. 







Look:
Dress: F21
Shoes: DV by Dolce Vita 
Necklace and Ring: Vintage; borrowed from my mom (good thing she is on holiday :P)

Keeping it Simple

I wore this look over the weekend, while I was working, 
and I absolutely love this black dress that I recently got from Forever21.
It was such a great essential steal!
I liked how chic it looked with the black leggings and tan sandals. 
I added a pop of blue to bring some color to the look. 
I am not used to wearing such a simple fit- I am such a huge fan of colors and prints- 
but sometimes it is nice to switch it up!








Look:
Black Dress: Forever21
Black Leggings
Tan Sandals: Steve Madden 
Bag: Burberry 
Necklace: Outside Market; Visby 
Bug Ring: Vintage
Sunnies: Sway
