Take Your Tunic From Day to Night

Long, oversized tunics have been my go-to lately.  Maybe its the long length, but I love the idea of a patterned top that can work both during the day and at night.  Are you looking for ways to take your look from daytime to night?  My two favorite ways are to elevate and accessorize.  Swap the flats for some heeled booties or your favorite pumps, and trade in the tote bag for a feminine clutch...  Or if the night air is too much to bare, use your scarf as a shall and add a statement necklace around your neck.

Shirttail

Happy Monday all.  How about this look?  Easy-peasy, the layering was done for me with this shirttail sweater.  Pretty sweet deal, plus the sweater is now 40% off.  Lots of colors + patterns to choose from..  

Oh and in other news, my sister is getting married this week!  I. am. so. excited!  I will be sharing more photos and wedding details with you later (maybe next week).  I designed the invitations and we did mostly everything else in house.  It was lots of work but we enjoyed (almost) every moment of it.  Now, time to party!

Burnts + Blacks

From the color to the length, these shorts lend themselves to being the perfect pair for Fall.

 

I didn't expect I would get as much wear out of these shorts as I actually do.  They are my go-to for a quick run to the mall, dinner dates, ever casual Fridays at work.  I'm glad I snagged them when I did.  Happy Hump Day... {HUMP DAY!}

OUTFIT DETAILS: 

{ shorts: the Loft, last seen here, another cute option here }  { top: Lord & Taylor Split Neck Blouse }  { clutch: Clare Vivier Foldover Clutch in Leopard }  { shoes: V.C. Signature, similar }  { rings: BCBG Branch Ring, BCBG Double Panther Ring }  

Dressed-up Denim

My friend Bridget introduced me to these shorts back in May while I was visiting her for the weekend/half marathon in Brooklyn.  {She's on top of her style game.}  I was obsessed with them, but I waited until the Loft 4th of July sale to finally give in to temptation.  I'm glad I did.  Though, it took me nearly a month to decide how to style 'em..  

I opted for a denim button down, white pumps, some sparkly jewels + some leopard (ovb-y).  But, after wearing them for the first time, I easily have pick out at least 3 other ways to style them.  Happy Styling, stay tuned.

Olive

Happy Wednesday everyone!  We're almost to Friday + I cannot wait.  Today's look is easy-breezy.  I just love the flared sleeve on the blouse, and the olive color will totally transition well into the Fall.  Thanks for reading.  Cheers!

Fall First

[ leggings: Top Shop ]  [ blouse: Vince ]  [ wedges: DVF ]  [ purse worn as clutch: Tory Burch similar ]  [ shades: Burberry ]  [ watch + ring: Michael Kors ] 

So, this blouse.  A fall first + perfect for date night or dinner with the girls.  Believe it or not, I bought this Vince blouse over the summer  [on the clearance rack]  at TJMaxx and I've been anxiously waiting for its debut.  The burnt color is very fitting for fall, if you ask me.  Pair it with a pair of (faux) leather leggings, my favorite wedges, some rose gold accessories, and voila, the perfect early fall look.  Any suggestions how I should style this blouse with jeans?  Skinny or boyfriend?  With a pair of pointy toe pumps.. thoughts?  Thanks for stopping by.
