One Flared Skirt, Two Ways

One Flared Skirt, Two Ways

Plaid Shirt with SkirtWhen I’m traveling for more than a week, I like to pack items that I know I can mix and match to save space in my suitcase. This J Crew flared skirt is one of my favorites to travel with. Though a blue skater skirt may not seem like the typical neutral, I love the way it can be dressed up and dressed down so easily! Pairing it with a soft plaid flannel and ankle booties was the perfect look for an afternoon in the mountains, whereas pairing it with this heart-print blouse and pearl statement necklace made it an easy transition for an evening dinner look.

Bold Prints

Bold Prints

Lela rose shift dress

A bold print on a classic shape is one of my favorite ways to add a little pop into my look. I love investing in designer pieces that will not go out of style, but can still be dressed up or dressed down depending on the occasion. Last night I paired one of my favorite Lela Rose dresses with a bold statement necklace, a classic black stiletto, and a bright orange clutch to pull out the warm tones of the fabric for the Red Cross YPA kickoff party at Hotel ZaZa.

Wrap Blouse and Denim Shorts

Wrap blouses are a classic and feminine trend that works well on every figure and can be worn on any occasion. I snagged this Nasty Gal wrap blouse before my trip, and it has definitely gotten its fair shares of wear since then! The feminine fabric makes it the perfect top to dress up or dress down, and I loved pairing it with distressed denim cutoffs for a casual look around the city.

Leather Trim Top

One trend we cannot stop craving this season is definitely leather. Whether you choose a full-on leather look like Ellen or decide to add subtle hints into your look like I did, leather will definitely give your look a simple yet bold kick for Fall. Finding an awesome pair of jeans at an incredible price is often a rarity, so when I found these distressed leather-trimmed skinnys, I knew I had to have them. I paired them with my leather-trimmed top and my Gorjana earrings for a fun birthday night look! See how I styled this bold trend below and shop my links beneath to steal my look:

Trendy Travel Outfit

When it comes to traveling, comfort is definitely my primary focus for dressing. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I see people venturing through the airport looking like they just rolled out of bed in their pajama pants and a college tee. With all of the cozy-chic pieces readily available in retail stores, I think it’s time we all put that look to rest. Whether you choose a great pair of stretch jeans, trendy joggers, chic sneakers, or a classic Vince tee, your travel look will be updated in a snap.

For my recent travel experience, I picked up a new pair of DL1961 stretch skinnys for the journey and paired them with an oversized Free People thermal. I tossed on my favorite floppy hat to give that “put together” look, my floppy combat boots to save my soles from heels, and my favorite leather messenger bag for all of my travel goodies.
