A Chambray Collar

 Top- TJ Maxx (similar in black, white), Skirt- Lulu's (similar), Sandals- Target, Watch- Fossil, Bracelet- Target

I hope you all had a great weekend! I spent it taking a little trip to Austin, TX and floating the Guadalupe river, which was so much fun. I definitely want to make it an annual trip!

I bought this shirt knowing I wanted to pair it with my chambray skirt. I love the extra touch of the chambray collar. So fun! I also tried my hand at layering necklaces. They were both pretty dainty so you can see they got a little tangled. I really love my evil eye necklace. I got it this spring at a jewelry shop in Athens, Greece! It was the perfect souvenir.

Work Wear: Black and White

Top- Forever 21, Skirt- Forever 21 (similar), Heels- Zara (similar), Necklace- Baublebar, Watch- Fossil, Bracelet- identical

Black and white is such a easy color combination. I love wearing lots of color to work, but on those mornings where you hit snooze just a few too many times, a black and white ensemble is an easy go to. I added a little color with this pink gem of a necklace from Baublebar.

I'm guest posting on Dayi's blog today. Be sure to check it out!

Summer Lookbook: Maxi Skirt

Tee- Target, Vest- Forever 21, Skirt- c/o Oasap (on sale!), Sandals- Target, Necklace- Jeweliq

A few weeks ago, I featured a maxi dress in a summer lookbook post, but I also had to include maxi skirts as one of my summer staples. A maxi skirt is a little bit more versatile than a dress because you can mix up your top. Last Friday, I styled this Oasap maxi skirt 2 other ways, so you can see there are many ways to style them! I like this skirt because it's flowy and feels flirty and cute for summer. Because it offers more coverage, you can easily transition a maxi skirt into fall when the weather cools off. Keep reading below to see some more options for maxi skirts and how I would style them.

White Out

 Top- Forever 21, Blazer- Primark (similar) Jeans- (similar), Heels- Zara (similar), Watch- Fossil, White Pave Bracelet- Gigglosophy, Pave Bracelet- similar

I love a good monochromatic outfit, and white is just about the easiest color to pull it off with. While other colors come in multiple shades, making it a little tricky to match, white is just good ol' white. I wanted to make this look even more classy by wearing white shoes and jewelry to go with the monochrome theme. Or maybe, I just want to get in as much white as I can before Labor Day! (Though you will catch me breaking that rule anyway. White can totally work for fall and winter.)
