BOW TIE SKIRT & SUEDE WEDGES

SKIRT | CAMISOLE | BRALETTE | WEDGES

X STATION | BUCKLE | TWO TONE CABLE

When I saw this adorable bow tie skirt, I knew I had to have it. For less than $50, it's a steal. I brought it home, styled it, and shot it all within 24 hours because, honestly, it's so cute! I would wear this to synagogue (or church, if I went,) to the office, or even for a luncheon.

This skirt can easily be paired with so many shirts in different patterns, fabrics, and colors, but, I'm a sucker for keeping it simple, so I pulled out my favorite silky cami. This cami is super affordable, but looks expensive. It can be thrown in the washer and dryer, without a second thought.

I have paired it with this bralette. It's one of the more affordable ones I've found and I've owned several of this brand since discovering them in college. They're adjustable, and come in a ton of different styles and colors. I'm not busty, so I can get away with only wearing a bralette under a loose fitting shirt. For those of you who are more well endowed, I would recommend wearing a strapless bra under the bralette.

Now, let's talk about these wedges. Fortunately, they are still being sold, even though they're over a year old! They are at an amazing price point, and I can wear them all day and not have sore feet. They have never left blisters, and do not need to "broken in," to be comfortable.

I believe that certain jewelry items are worth the investment, especially if it's pieces that you love and know you'll wear for years to come. That's how I feel about these bracelets. I've been blessed enough to have been gifted several of these for birthdays and anniversaries, but have also saved and purchased some on my own when I feel like I "deserve" it.

Do you have a different way that you'd style this skirt? If so, I'd love to hear about it in the comments below! As always, thanks for stopping by :)

OFF THE SHOULDER BOW TIE TOP AND PEEP TOE BOOTIES

Seeing as it's not quite autumn weather yet, I'm squeezing extra wear out of as much of my "summer wardrobe" as possible - this outfit is a perfect example of that and better yet, it's super transitional as the days cool off.

It's no secret that I have broad shoulders. Growing up, people used to say, "with shoulders like that, you must be a swimmer..." I was. I never really paid much attention to it until I took my senior portrait in college and realized that there were certain clothing styles that were not flattering. I have met plenty of people who are not self conscious about their shoulders....I say, hats off to you! Anyway, the "OTS" (off-the-shoulder) trend is one that I have been weary about. I used to think about how cute every other girl looked wearing these summery tops until my mom told me, "just try one on, and see how it goes." So, I did. And, I loved it! I've linked a few different styles above and below for you. I've also linked the bra that I wear with this top. 

Oh Paige Denim, how I adore thee. This specific pair is called the Legacy. Stretchy, comfortable for all day wear, and definitely worth the money because they are durable through the washing machine without fading instantly! Y'all know I loved a good pair of distressed denim. 

These Steve Madden peep toe booties have been on constant repeat since I purchased them. I wear them with jeans, shorts, and dresses. I am always getting compliments on them and I highly recommend them for two reasons. 1. Booties are a trend that will not be fading any time soon - they're a great transitional piece. 2. I can wear them all day and my feet do not hate me after. I work in a corporate buying office which means I am running around ten to twelve hours a day, every day. I only wear shoes that I am comfortable in (okay, and that are cute, too!) These fit the bill and right now, they are....drum roll please....ON SALE! 

Is there a fashion trend that you were skeptical to try? Did you end up trying it and loving it?  Let me know! I'd love to hear about it in an email or in the comments, below. As always, thank you for stopping by!
