Coming from a private school educational background, I never would’ve thought that I would end up in a skort by CHOICE, especially considering all of the memories I have about the years of being confined to a uniform. That said, things change and style evolves so when I came across this raw edged denim piece, I was instantly intrigued. As it is still Summer and showing off bare legs is pretty much an everyday occurrence, I like finding new pieces that can give me more options outside of standard cut-offs or dresses; and this item did just that. Because this skort is a dark wash, the options were endless in terms of what I could pair it with. After much thought, I decided to accentuate the metallic D-ring belt detail by reaching for a champagne colored blouse. For me, this piece was simple enough to keep the overall look sleek while still adding a bit of drama with the ruffled sleeves. Though I was off to a good start, I still felt like this outfit was missing something and my snake print flats provided the extra bit of interest I was looking for. Mules, and other various forms of “slip-on” footwear, have been extremely popular over the last couple of years and I personally loved how this particular pair tied the look together with the color scheme as well as adding another element of texture. To finish off the ensemble, I decided to accessorize with my aviator readers and nothing else. There were so many focal points to this look, I didn’t feel as though a bag would’ve added anything extra. For me, it’s important to show diversity within the outfits I choose to wear so that getting dressed never feels like a mundane chore. Let me know in the comments below what you do to stay excited about your personal style. Until next time!!

Typically when thinking of the holiday season and all of its festivities, we prepare to bring out our most eye-catching pieces containing sequins, fur, and bold statement jewelry. While I fully enjoy and can appreciate partaking in the glitz and glam, I wanted to style a look for the more subdued, non-nonchalant chick who chooses to take more of an understated approach. In my opinion, holidays or not, you can never go wrong with an all black ensemble. Because of my dark color palette however, I definitely wanted to add dimension by mixing up the textures. As soon as I saw the top and its gorgeous lace detail, I knew it would make the perfect piece for this time of year while still being versatile enough to blend with the more casual pieces in my wardrobe. The tailored culottes helped to maintain a “smart” vibe that kept the look relaxed yet formal, and I couldn’t help but add my cropped leather jacket for an extra bit of edge. In order to maintain the “holiday feels,” I accessorized with my iridescent heeled sandals and diamond hoops for a bit of sparkle. Lastly, to complete the look, I grabbed my chain link leather purse and was good to go! A lot of times, I find myself guilty of wanting to throw on my entire closet due to the holiday excitement, but this look has shown me that less can definitely be more. So if you’re struggling to find a look or simply just feel like toning it down for your 5th party of the season, try something like this out and enjoy yourself! Until next time, & happy holidays!
