THE WEAR EVERYWHERE SKIRT

Before I say how much I love this skirt, l will just admit that pencil skirts used to be the bane of my existence. Constantly tugging and readjusting them as I walked, I used to think of them only as an office attire staple, kind of like a button-down top. Professional, stuffy, and something to wear to an interview, I definitely didn't ever think of them as being 'cool'.

That said, after seeing this style season after season, I've decided to embrace it and find new, dare I say 'exciting' new ways to wear it. The high waist and tailored shape are truly figure-flattering and I love this one from Chicwish because the neutral plaid print looks great with sweaters, graphic tees, silky tanks and more! I can wear it with a blazer to the office then swap out the top for a comfy tee to meet friends for dinner. I can pretty much wear it EVERYWHERE. And while I never thought I'd say it, I totally have a newfound obsession with the pencil skirt.

Embroidered Ease

This season, everyone (including me) is falling for embroidery. From floral patterns to boho designs, right now, it's all about the details. And from the bright threading, to the intricate stitching, it's the trend that can take your plain tee from basic to statement-worthy. My ruffle blouse today is only $12 and looks good with just about everything. I like it paired best though, with ripped jeans or edgier booties.

BEND THE RULES

Some rules are meant to be broken, especially when it comes to style. That being said, when it's a matter of wearing white, I have always been a fan of donning it before Memorial Day. After all, why should it be a faux pas to rock it on May 29th yet totally acceptable on June 1st? Pure madness!

So when I received this crisp pair from AG Jeans the other day, I had to find a reason to wear them immediately. Besides being insanely comfy (like all of their styles) this pair takes your ripped skinnies to a whole new level with edgy step hems and an ultra high-waist. I can already see myself wearing these everywhere over the coming season and today, I paired them with a high-low top from SHEIN. As you guys know, I've always been a sucker for stripes but I love how this tank puts a unique spin (with a longer silhouette) on an age-old print. The resulting look is fresh, playful and great for a busy spring day.

So what do you guys think? Is white before Memorial Day ok in your book?
