CROPPED

Asos crop sweater (similar here), Rebecca Taylor coat (old), Arden B. skirt (old. Similar here), Zara heels & bag, vintage watch and bracelet

This weekend I helped my dad organize his closet and introduced him to Spotify. I've been listening to James Brown and Stevie Wonder all weekend. I wore this out to brunch on Sunday to Print Works Bistro. They have the most amazing profiteroles. 

IN THE NUDE

DVF Beyatta dress // Sunday in Brooklyn Astral skirt // Zara leather sandals // MAC lipstick in "Velvet Teddy" // Tibi cutout jacquard dress // Theory Simbra blouse // Catwalk 88 nude clubmasters // Essie in "Sand Tropez" // Topshop boyfriend blazer // J.Crew Janey flats // Elizabeth & James Katia shorts 

Other than gray, nude is my favorite neutral. I love how chic the color looks and how well it pairs with every other color. I especially love neon and nude together. 

THE PENCIL

 

I've written about pencil skirts so many times on this blog that I have lost count. But, I can't help it. A great pencil skirt is a staple that every woman should have in her closet. I of course have the neutral black, navy, and gray pencil skirts in my closet. However, after building a great foundation of pencil skirts, I love to find pencil skirts with unexpected details. I am drawn to great prints and bright colors. I always purchased the skirts for work but now I love to wear them on the weekends with a comfy t-shirt and sandals.

WINDOWPANE

I'm loving the newest trend in prints. The windowpane print is clean and bold. Looking at the print makes me think back to high school algebra. Call me a nerd but I loved graph paper. Check out some of my favorite printed picks below:
