How-To Style a Jumpsuit

jumpsuit // sweater c/o // fringe bag c/o // watch // necklaces {similar here and here} // shoes 

The doors to the StyleME session for this season are still open and I’m featuring a few more of the must-have’s from the list. Yay, for sneak peeks!

If you don’t have a jumpsuit, run out and grab one! You’ll thank me later ;). Seriously, there are so many ways to style it {see the style note below}.

I’ve done this one several ways, and you’ve probably seen at least one of them on IG. The best thing about this one is it can stand alone, be layered up, decked out in jewels, and belted!

I went simple for this look with another favorite piece for summer: the sweater cape. Yes, you can… and should have a great summer sweater. This one is fab! And forget the old myth about not mixing black and brown. Add a bit of boho with accessories like my fringe bag/clutch and gold necklaces.

Okay, I’m way too excited, but seriously these are two pieces you’ll wear over, and over, and over, and over again throughout seasons; not just summer.

Style Note: DO add a blazer for chic sophistication and a dressier look

dress it up with jewels

replace your LBD with a chic black jumpsuit

add a belt to a looser style to break up a solid and accentuate the waist

if you’re a risk taker, go all floral; it’s great for summer 

pair with a leather jacket in the evening for an edgier style

layer up with a shirt over and you’ve just taken your jumpsuit and made separates. Hello, two outfits in one!

Now go get ya some and style away!

Style Note:  Keep in mind that though casual attire is perfect for most concert venues, your clothing should reflect your personality, the band your seeing, and should be well kept: yes, that’s code for clean ;).

Ok, so I’d love for you guys to weigh in here: I think the unspoken rule {or spoken, if you go searching on the net} is never to wear the t-shirt of the band you’re seeing. What do y’ all think?

Belated Birthday

chambray via {similar here & here} // printed shorts {last summer, current here} // clutch // necklace  // similar cuff // rings here & here // gladiators {splurge; save}

Oh hey, loves! You know that bloggin’ thing I used to do? Yeah, it’s been a while, but thanks for sticking around!

It’s been a mad house over here. Super scatterbrained, I can’t even remember if I mentioned I’ve taken on a job working a few days with a celeb stylist: pulls, fittings, and returns for celebrity clients; all that jazz, and of course I’m still stylin’ at Haven Street, so that leaves little time for the blog. 

I recently had a birthday, yay me! I don’t know how I feel about it… getting older is a weird thing ;). Anyhow, it was a chill weekend. I didn’t want anything over the top, so I spent a pool day with the fam and then a casual dinner at one of my favorite spots.

So on to this outfit, shall we? Chambray is all the rage and goes perfect with a pair of summer printed shorts and a gladiator or lace up sandal {a few of my summer must-have’s on the StyleME program this season ;)}.

Style Note: Naturally, chambray has this cool feel all it’s own. Play up gorgeous gams with a lightweight cotton printed short or skirt. Balance the look with a relaxed solid top {bleached denim is hawt right now, so try out chambray for relaxed cool}. Add a gladiator or lace up for a little edge and pull the look together. This look is perfect for a low-key date night, casual dinner or even brunch. Add a bright or neon {like my clutch} for a little summer-y bold chic-ness!

It’s Friday! Any fun plans, guys?

Classic Neutrals for Minimal Chic-ness

I seem to be gravitating to classic colors A LOT lately, and it was no surprise that when I needed to pull together an outfit for a recent graduation I went for a less is more look.

Sometimes dressing up can take on a bit of edginess with a sleek pair of dark denim, a blazer, and a tee. You’re still ‘classic’ in a sense, but in a relaxed, cool way, and I don’t feel like I’ve put on my grandmother’s pearls {which are definitely rad on occasion!} and donned a dress like every other girl attending a more formal affair ;P.

I did add a few pops of color to, well… pop off the neutral palette, but by only adding a small clutch in a solid color and earrings in another, the look maintained it’s minimal chic feel.

Congrats to all you grads! You’ve made it to the great big world.. knock ’em dead out there!

Style Note: For the perfect minimalist look choose crisp whites, go for a clean white and nude combo, or opt for classic black and white. Because it’s summer, I wanted to stand out with a bit of color to really make my neutral palette striking, but if opting to maintain the trueness of minimalism utilize the structure and cut of pieces as the focal point. Keep accessories understated and opt for similar shades for your bag and shoe choice.
