PS for M&H: Silk Top and Flares

PS for M&H: Silk Top and Flares

 

flared jeans and floral topFinding a blouse to wear in the Dallas summer heat isn’t always easy, which is why I’m loving this paisley flowy blouse I picked up at Milk & Honey. The cut out sleeves and open-back make it airy and lightweight, perfect for a summer Texas night! Something about this top reminded me of the 70s, so I paired it with my Lovestory flares and my favorite aviators to top off the vibe. As I mentioned yesterday, I’m trying to get back into the groove of jeans, so stocking up on fun tops will definitely be my shopping goal! Check out my look below:

Paint It Black

When it comes to style, I think you can never have enough black. It’s such a versatile color and is effortlessly chic. I mixed our Karen Millen jacket with this embellished top to add a touch of femininity to the edgy bomber look.

TREND ALERT: Leather-Sleeve Jackets

TREND ALERT: Leather-Sleeve Jackets

It’s always refreshing when a style is carried over from one season to the next, which in this case involves leather-sleeve jackets. What I love about this trend is how the leather can add a hint of “cool” to even the preppiest pea coat. From trenches to bombers to blazers and more, the leather-sleeves are making a statement this season. Can’t afford the price tag of true leather? No worries, designers like Vince Camuto have made their own faux leather styles for the Fall. Check out some of my favorites below:
