The SKIRT + SWEATER COMBO

I get it. Dressing for chillier temps (and those tricky in-between days) can be confusing to navigate. That’s why I'm sharing today's look—a combo of my two favorite wardrobe staples. You know the one, it's that never-fail satin skirt and comfy sweater combo. The two contrasting textures make for an easy outfit win that you can turn to season after season. I pulled together a light neutral look today but honestly, the options are endless here! Best part about this particular pairing? The sweater is on sale and the skirt is under $50! Talk about a win-win situation.

COMFY & CHIC

As much as I love dressing up for a night on the town or a dinner with friends, sometimes comfort is all I really want (especially after a long day of travel). I've learned that wearing a laid-back look doesn't mean you have to compromise on your personal style. In fact, casual doesn't actually have to be all that casual.

Alas, this Morning Lavender jumpsuit proves that cozy and chic can be done! Paired with nude sandals, it's a throw-on-and-go type of outfit that works for day or night. Paired here with simple jewelry from my new Aurate curated jewelry box and a hair scarf, it's perfect the perfect look for an afternoon date.

‘Tis (Almost) the Season

The sun’s out, the weather’s heating up, all signs point to one thing: wedding season. And while in years past, I’ve had one or two to attend, this year, I have a lot more! From beach weddings to vineyard celebrations to grand escapes in Tuscany, my wedding season itinerary is fully packed. And while I’ve never been much of a planner, I’m starting to get my reception looks lined up because let’s be honest, the best styles get scooped up the fastest.

This dress by Morning Lavender is a gorgeous option for a spring or summer celebration. Not only does it work well as a guest outfit for a variety of wedding venues, but it is also perfect for a bridal shower. I mean, doesn’t it look like it was just made for a bridal brunch or tea? I adore the delicate lace detailing and flattering tiered silhouette. When it comes to shoes, these strappy Something Navy pumps add a bit of extra feminine flair—and if you can stand being in high heels all evening, they’re truly perfect. The best part of this ensemble? It’s very affordable. It’ll give your wallet a much-needed wedding season break. Amen!
