Welcome back!
This week, let’s look
at re-purposing some of your favorite pieces. Who says your best summer
pieces can't be worn year round?
Here's a few fave
looks from this week:
This skirt pictured
above is so beautiful. It's light, airy, and feminine; it has these
gorgeous openings in the front and back that flow so marvelously as you
walk. A tank top with this skirt is perfection. To make this function
in a work environment, you really need a cover-up of some sort. For some
time I had been pairing it with a sweater; it does not look great. It
detracts from the skirt and the overall look can get a bit frumpy. I was determined
to find something that worked, because there was no way this skirt was going to
be tucked away in the closet.
Enter a great plaid
shirt! Tied up in true '90's fashion, it complements the skirt while
providing a super cute cover-up option with a subtle nod to grunge.
As far as shoes, I
used my new boots from last week! They actually work super well with this
look.
How about some NY love
with this look? J&L New York State Ring!

In keeping with the
grunge trend, a black spinel entwined ring would be perfect:

For a softer, feminine
look, here's a classic James & Lily favorite: Catherine Ring!

I wanted to try out
this look before it got too chilly. Walking around NYC you’ll see a
myriad of amazing looks. On the train every morning, the temptation to
take pictures of all this great fashion looms large. But I don't want to
be a creep here. So as the old adage goes, "Imitation is the
sincerest form of flattery".
These shorts are
perfect. Seriously. They're high-waisted which is super flattering
and loose at the thigh which is a nice contrast to traditional shorts.
And the pattern....oh my. Lovely. They could really be paired with
a variety of tops, because they're the star of the show. I chose a
sweater - seasonally appropriate and gave the look a casual feel.
I encourage you to try
out shorts and tights! It's fun and could really go in a variety of
different directions. I love the casual and playful look when paired with
a sweater. And a sexier top and a change of shoes could transition this
combination to an amazing date night look.
In keeping with the
bright theme, I love these rings.
