Matching Set

Matching sets are an elevated outfit in the sense that they aren't common and to have a top & bottom in the exact same fabric & print is very intentional. You can pair a top and skirt that compliment beautifully but to have them be an exact pair is literally perfect. When you have a matching set together you get a seamless look with the added benefit of styling them separately.

The modern design of this top and tiered mini skirt is so pretty with the vintage bock print.

Bonus: You can choose different sizes! I'm wearing an XS on top and S on the bottom.

Tip: a white top or jean is an easy & bright pairing for styling these pieces apart

but don't be afraid to pair a color from the print like a pink or green.

Friday Favorites: Ruby Red

TGIF! Gals it was straight up hot this week! Vivian keeps asking how much longer until Summer so we can go to the pool & beach ... not much my darling!

I recently cleaned out and organized my seasonal clothing in my closet and realized I don't own any red outside of 1 sweater and 1 pair of pants. I wear both at Christmas time. I do have a red handbag and pair of crocodile knee high boots but for some reason red accessories (my favorite being 2 ruby bracelets) appeal to me more than clothing. My only guess is that I wear a big red mane on my head every. single. day. so I feel no need for more.

I've actually encountered a lot of gals who let their hair or skin color hold them back from colors. I say, Nonsense!

My Red Floral Ruffle Top

This red blouse spoke to me with the ruffles and classic print. I also find it versatile for all year wear.

Here are some ruby red pieces sure to make you feel like a gem!

Friday Favorites: Maxi Skirts

Maxi skirts have climbed so high up on my wardrobe ladder they're almost up there with jeans. What got these skirts promoted to such a powerful place is their beauty, comfort and style versatility.

From solids to florals, pastels to jewel tones, tiers and ruffles, a maxi skirt exudes so much femininely. In a long length there's ample coverage (no need to shave your legs) and you can move with easy especially with a pair of sneakers. And as for styling options ... the sky is the limit.

Here are some of my favorite pairings:

Causal: Tank, Knotted graphic tee or cropped sweatshirt

Dressy: Embellished Blouse, crisp button up or even blazer

In between: Denim jacket or sweater

Resort: Over swimsuit or crop top

And then there's shoes: sneakers, sandals, block heels and boots

A maxi skirt can transition across seasons and occasions.

Here are some great maxi skirts ...

Statement Sweater

My Sweater in Green - Tan - Light Blue - Navy - Ivory

Note: the collar is removable

Happy Monday! It's a cold one here and I'm quite happy to bundle up in a cozy sweater and warm fuzzy slippers (life changing!).

Sweaters can often be 'basic' in solid colors, and simple designs. As beautiful, warm and versatile as a cable, turtle neck and cashmere knit is, it can lack the details and embellishments that a blouse offers.

So I encourage you to consider a sweater that makes a statement with big balloon sleeves, oversized collar, beaded embroidery and/or exaggerated weave.

Just in case mine is too #Extra for you here are some others that make a bold statement ...
