Dressing for the office is one subject people ask me about frequently, and my advice is always to find the perfect balance between fashionable and conservative. Just because you may be working in a corporate office doesn’t mean you have to leave all your style at home. I love finding classic “work” pieces with a twist, which is why flared pencil skirts are a favorite of mine. It still has the classic look of a suit skirt, yet the flowy hem as a feminine touch to the basic pencil. I paired it with my favorite J. Crew sweater, which I own in nearly every color – love these! See how I dressed for my 9-5 and shop the look below!

Now that the weather is finally cooling down here in Dallas, I’m thrilled to introduce coats into my wardrobe again! Dressing for Fall is definitely one of my favorites, as styles circle around cozy classics and boots with everything! Though I love all things trendy, one thing I believe every girl needs in her closet is a versatile jacket in a classic style that can be worn for years to come.
I am loving this new belted quilt jacket from Johnston & Murphy I found this season. I paired mine with a soft flannel, my favorite skinnies, and an amazing pair of wedge booties for a casual weekend look. I also love pairing it with a fitted sweater dress, tall boots, and a printed scarf for a dressier look! Click here to snag my new must-have Fall jacket and see how I styled my look below:

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. Check out my look from the event and shop some of my favorite printed shifts below!

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. Check out how I styled my Nasty Gal top and shop some of my favorite wrap blouses below!

When the term “shift dress” comes to mind I immediately imagine a conservative and classic structured dress. Though this is often the case, I have developed a new obsession with Missguided’s shift dress section (well.. all of their dresses for that matter), which contain a wide array of styles from classic to modern, structured to slouchy. This checked shift I snagged for my recent trip is one of my newest favorites. The shape is extremely comfortable and perfect for those relaxed afternoons, and the shirt sleeve tie waist totally embraces my favorite 90s trend. I paired this dress with my platform boots and mirrored aviators for a casual daytime look. See how I styled my checked dress and shop some of my favorite shifts below!
