WORK TO WEEKEND: CROP TOP

Work // crop top - pumps - studs - blouse - bangle - pencil skirt - bag

Weekend // crop top - earrings - sandals - bangle - bag - shorts - sunglasses

I've wanted this crop top for a while now. Zara carried it in white this summer and it has since sold out. Now they are carrying it in black for late summer early fall. Even though crop tops don't scream "workwear," I figured it couldn't hurt to figure out a way to pair with work clothes and make it office appropriate. Then I thought, why not pair it with a neutral blouse almost like a vest. You can wear a long sleeve blouse or sleeveless blouse depending on how conservative your office is. Also, pairing it with a black blouse would create a subtle monochromatic look. For the weekend look I lost the blouse and kept it simple. I really like pairing crop tops with high-waisted bottoms. It keeps you from showing too much skin.

SUMMER ESCAPE: CHARLESTON

One thing I love about summer is the chance to pack up and getaway for the weekend. I live for little summer escapes. One place I always try to go is Charleston, SC. My dad grew up in Charleston and several members of his (very large) family still live there. I love exploring the historic sites, eating the delicious food, and relaxing on Folly Beach. Here's what I'd throw in my suitcase for my trip to low country.
