Polka dots have been a classic yet girly look for ages and we are seeing this famous pattern once again. This trend can be a bit intimidating at first but it's not complicated. Whether in jean or trouser form, polka dots give off a dainty, feminine feel. Try pairing them with solid blazers for work or with neutral peplum tops for a night out. Keep in mind, the more subtle the spots, the easier this look is to pull off. In trying to prove that anyone can pull off this look, I made sure that this one was tailored (but not tight) and paired with items that would help tone it down (in this case a neutral modern vest and tan bag).

 

What do you think about polka dot pants?

The Boyfriend Blazer

Hi everyone! I hope you ladies had a great Mother's Day! I'm finally done with law school - whoohoo! This week I have a break until graduation and bar prep classes start next week. I was going to give up blogging altogether until after the bar exam is done but I've missed you ladies dearly!

Today I want to talk about the boyfriend blazer an offset of the earlier trend of the boyfriend jeans - fundamental principal remains the same - it needs to be somewhat oversized and comfortable. What I love most about this trend is its versatility, it looks as good running day errands as it would look in office meetings or at night catching up with friends.

Not only that but it has the ability to convert a basic outfit into something more elegant and classy. Whatever the occasion, just roll up the sleeves for a cool and casual feminine look. This season with the multitudes of bright colors to choose from I recommend getting one in your favorite neon palette to brighten up any outfit!

PFC #15: Chic Pin-spiration

This month’s Petite Fashion Challenge is hosted by Long Live Classy.

The Challenge: Find a pic of an outfit you love on Pinterest, and re-create it the best way possible!

 I fell "head of heels" in love with this Pinterest photo and knew that I wanted to replicate it one day. Unfortunately I was unable to find a mint peplum top that I liked so I wore my mint chiffon blouse instead.

With temperatures continuing to rise, this spring is the perfect time to flirt with the lace trend especially when paired with a mint top, the color of choice this season.

 Dress these shorts up, or pair them with a tee for a more casual approach. These are the bottoms that will really take you from day to night instantaneously!

I usually pin travel and home decor photos on Pinterest but once in a while I will find an outfit that I cannot get out of my head. This is one of them and I was super-excited to get the chance to replicate it today =)

Hope you enjoyed my 4th PFC. Check out my last one HERE. Thank you Long Live Classy for hosting! Be sure to check out the rest of the Petite Fashion Challenge participants listed over at Long Live Classy.

Comfort is Key

Hi everyone, I've missed you guys!

Due to studying for Finals, I've been sitting around all week shifting in and out of uncomfortable chairs at the library, the school must use them to keep students awake. My ultimate goal is to stay as comfortable as possible therefore I've been choosing breathable outfits with multiple layers to  keep up with the changing temperatures in the library.

When it comes to comfort and versatility, nothing can compare to a sweater wrap. Part blanket, part sweater, a wrap is ideal for travel, running errands, lounging around or in my case to study it. It gives you that chic and put-together look without much time or effort. Time of which I don't have and no energy to put much effort into anything...

In any case, Spring is in the air and the weather has been pretty nice around here, hopefully it is as beautiful wherever you are. Enjoy it ladies and if you can, please stop and smell the flowers for me =)

Weekend Comfort :: Hot Pink & Forsythia

Happy Friday everyone!

I've always wanted to experience the Spring cherry blossoms in DC but the festival and blooming schedule always fall right smack in the middle of Finals study period. So these forsythia are the next best thing =)

Right now I am loving these hot pink trousers. Not only are they fun and comfortable to lounge around in but they are also perfect for a night out as well. For a more sophisticated look I would recommend pairing them with a top that is more structured and intricate. Otherwise for a casual demeanor I just roll the hems up a few times to create that relaxed look.

Another fool proof trick to keeping it casual is by gently tucking in the front corner of your blouse. This helps achieve that asymmetrical draping effect - don't you just love it when small tricks like this makes everything look better =)

Blooming :: Tulip Dress

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a great week so far!

One of the trend that is currently blooming with sensuality and zest is the tulip dress. The tulip dress got its name because it takes on the shape of an inverted tulip - fitted at the waist and balloons at the hip. As such it creates a shape that is forgiving to people with a heavier midsection and create curves for those with a less shapely figure.

Most tulip dresses have wrapped drapings at the bottom but this one just has a blooming pocket on the side giving it a more modern flair. I love how captivating this dress is with its simple structure and bright turquoise hue.

Tulip dresses makes for a great investment piece as they can be worn for a night out in town or incorporated into your work wardrobe simply by pairing it with a tailored blazer. Talk about an effortlessly chic piece!

Cobalt Crush

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! 

There are a lot of popular colors making an appearance this season but none are quite so bold and vibrant as cobalt blue. It is one of those colors that flatters most skin tones and the brilliant hue is a lovely way to brighten up the lingering gray days and will last into summer.

I've been looking for the perfect cobalt piece to bring along with me on my trip. The piece should be light and compact and transition-able from day to night. This whimsical yet sharp, airy yet structured tunic fit the bill. I love how even though it is simple it has a lot of dramatic movements going on.  

Another nice feature of this tunic is that it is see-through in the back so you have the option of wearing it with a black or nude camisole or paired with a favorite swimsuit like I've done here. To mix it up a bit, try pairing cobalt with silver/gunmetal accessories for an edgier urban feel or with lace and pearls for an ultra-feminine look. The possibilities are endless when it comes to this bold and vivid hue!

Spring Vibe :: Floral Prints and Peplum

 Happy Spring everyone!

Sunny days and blossoming flowers are the perfect inspiration for the up and coming floral print trend this season. And with the right silhouette, flower-patterned apparels can give you a sleek and sophisticated look that will be perfect for any occasion.

When it comes to floral apparels, it's important to choose a simple silhouette so that the focus will be on the prints. Therefore to create a stylish and slim look, I paired my floral peplum top with an intricate wide belt and balanced it out with matching color wedges. As long as you keep your accessories to a minimum, you're sure to flourish in your floral ensemble! 

Floral prints are a great incarnation of this feminine spring style so whether you choose a print dress, leggings, or a pretty top, there are plenty of opportunities to add some flower power to your spring look!

Postcard :: Daytona Beach FL

Hi everyone!

On the drive back to Savannah we took a detour and stopped into Daytona Beach. Located on Florida's Atlantic coast, the beautiful Daytona has an endless stretch of coarse sand that is hard enough to drive on.

Upon close inspection the sand contained a high percentage of crushed and worn coquina shells that gives it an almost orange appearance. It was amazingly beautiful and feels so nice to walk on! 

In keeping with the beauty and vigor of the colorful sand I decided to wear my equally colorful dress to blend in with the astonishingly rich palette of this shoreline.

But after seeing my kids have so much fun in the water I had to change into my bathing suit to join them =)

Romance :: Blissfully Sheer Dress

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a great week so far!

This blissfully sheer dress is absolutely breathtaking. The details are incredible – I particularly love the delicate overlay of bows on the side giving it a whimsical yet glamorous element. 

This was actually not my first choice dress for the wedding but I am glad I chose it at the end. The movement of this dress is amazing, the soft overlay tiered design really gives it a romantic flapper vibe.

The best part is - I got it on sale for $10 =)

Mint & Chiffon

Hi everyone!

One thing I love most about summertime is the opportunity to wear neon color apparels. I love pairing iridescent color blouses with abstract skirts during long walks on the beach. Not only are the garments lightweight they also make packing a cinch since they take up little to no space in the suitcase. 

Among the many neon color choices, I find that mint is the easiest to work with. It does a great job of brightening up our complexion and pairs incredibly well with a variety of colors.

This gorgeous chiffon skirt was sent to me from YesStyle and is part of their 59th Street Collection. This collection provides a variety of youthful and classic pieces for the corporate woman. I wanted to test the versatility of this skirt and brought it along on my trip. The soft and flowy material was perfect for a breezy walk on the beach. I love subtle pieces that offer a unique construction, it instantaneously transforms a monotonous corporate look into instant chic style!
