Putting Together Outfits

Plaid dresses and skirt are my newest obsession. I love plaid, don’t get me wrong,…

There’s nothing I love more than a striped shirt — except a striped shirt with…

Let’s face it: bathing suits are totally overpriced. And when it’s sweltering, it’s basically all you…

Wearing a dress over pants is one of those things fashion girls do that I used to feel like I could never pull off. But it’s actually pretty practical — it looks chic, keeps your legs warmer than tights (minus the risk of runs), gives dresses that cool tomboy contrast, and extends your wardrobe by essentially turning a dress into a top or jacket. I find a picture is worth a thousand words, so I just like to copy these cool examples of how to wear a dress over pants.

White jeans are the epitome of chic, and while I wear them all year round, they’re…

It’s the classic summer topper, but a denim jacket always makes me feel so middle school every time I wear one. Which is why I always end up tossing my jean jacket on the floor along with the hundred outfits I’ve just tried on. But what always draws me to my trust old denim jacket is the fact that I know it’ll go with whatever I’m wearing, and adds a laid-back cool factor to balance out my go-to work dresses and skirts. But I’m starting to get inspired to get over my denim jacket hang-ups after seeing so many street stylers and celebs own the look lately. Deep thoughts right now, people. But maybe it’s still middle school and maybe that’s a good thing now? Kind of like normcore, but now it’s what’s childish is now chic. Or maybe the jean jacket loses its tweeny-bopper vibes when worn by a “grown up”. Or perhaps it’s just all about how you style a denim jacket that makes all the difference (probably). Seeing how these bloggers and street stylers style their denim jackets makes me want to break mine out again right now.

Wide leg pants have officially taken over. While I love more structured styles for an incredibly chic work…

Dresses are my summertime staple. They’re easy, breezy, and always make you look put-together. I…

Yes, you can wear culottes and look cool. The trick to wearing culottes is to pick the right top; then treat them like any old pair of pants. You want a fitted shirt that’s cropped or that you can tuck in to balance out the wider silhouette of the pants. Here are my favorite ideas for how to wear culottes.

It feels like the military-inspired trend comes back every season, and therefore, is it really…

After seasons of skinnies, pant hems are getting wider and wider. I, for one, love a good pair of wide-leg pants.  The more forgiving style is perfect for work with a tucked-in blouse, or with a fitted sweater. Stick to heels, especially if you’re petite, to keep the wide leg from swallowing you up. Here are some of my favorite ways to wear wide leg pants.

I don’t know what it is, but for some reason, come winter, all I want…

The athletic trend has taken sports jerseys from the field to the streets, and now what used to be the biggest fashion turnoff a dude could rock is the coolest fashion trend a girl can wear. Personally, I still would save this trend for Super Bowl Sunday or watching your favorite sports team play, but if you’re feeling the athleisure trend or want to show your team pride on the reg, get inspired by these sports jersey outfits.

The only thing chicer than a crisp pair of white jeans in summer is a crisp pair of white jeans in winter. I love wearing white jeans in winter, with everything from cozy sweaters and flannel shirts to dressy tops and statement jackets. They’re unexpected and chic. Here’s how to wear white jeans in winter.

Basically a wardrobe staple at this point, over-the-knee boots are the easiest way to upgrade your fall/winter wardrobe. Over the knee boots feel more fashion-forward and slightly sexier than a classic knee-high boot, and look dressier when worn over jeans or skinnies for a night out. Here are some of my favorite ideas for how to style over the knee boots — plus, my favorite over the knee boots for every price point.

Luxe up your winter layers with a (faux) fur vest. Blacks and browns exude glam elegance, while…
