Wearing White AFTER Labor Day

I'll admit it. I slacked on this post. Clearly these pictures were taken well before Labor Day and I was worried I had missed my opportunity to use them in a timely fashion. We've all heard the old adage "don't wear white after Labor Day," and Bustle can tell you why that's bunk and how it all started.

Even though fashion rules are meant to be broken, I kind of had it in my head that I would maybe need to tuck away these pants until May until I saw some of the NYFW street style (Exhibit A, B, C) and knew that these pants could take me year round. This top, while definitely much more of a spring summer look, can transition great with a navy trousers or a cropped leather moto and some skinnies.

But let's be real, you've seen these pants before here and here, all within a summer setting, and I wasn't kidding when I declared them part of my warm weather uniform. I'm just expanding my apparel into multiple seasons, and breaking some fashion rules along the way.

Tell me: what pieces are you transitioning into the fall in?

Navy & White: The Summer Uniform









Happy Memorial Day, all! I hope everyone had a great weekend and start to their summer. This weekend [and all summer long] I rocked my "summer uniform" aka navy and white everything. I love this color combo, it's the perfect chic summer pairing. From desk to date night or beach to BBQ, I can't get enough navy and white into my summer wardrobe. What's everyone else wearing this summer? Anyone else have a "summer uniform?"

Happy Summer!

The Daytime LBD

I'm not a fan of having having one-purpose clothing, i.e. a "work wardrobe" and "weekend wear." I think the key to a functional wardrobe is having multipurpose pieces that you can dress up or down and wear day or night. This strategy has helped me rethink how I style and pair pieces, while also helping stay on budget. I recently purchased this LBD and loved the unique neckline and body conscious fit. While most people think LBD = date night uniform, I'm determined to get more wear out of this dress beyond when the sun goes down. I present you with the daytime LBD, paired down with my favorite army green jacket and styled with minimal jewels.

Who says you can't wear an LBD to brunch?

Vintage Silk Special








Happy Tuesday, all! Today's post is a special one. The dress in today's post is a 20 year old silk dress purchased in the alley markets in Beijing that was gifted to me. With a few very minor alterations and some fun accessories, I have a brand new, one-of-a-kind LBD that I absolutely love. The quality of the silk is amazing and the draping and pleats of it make this an effortless dress.
