my go-to outfit: fall weekend edition

by

casual fall weekend outfit: chunky cardigan, jeans, ankle boots, statement necklace // click through to shop this look!

1/ racerback tank // 2/ oversized cardigan // 3/ distressed jeans // 4/ contra bib necklace // 5/ cross body bag // 6/ mixed metal stacking rings // 7/ lea wedge booties

I’m not lying when I say this is pretty much what I live in. Distressed denim, an oversized cardigan, ankle boots, and a statement necklace is pretty much my ultimate look. I also have to constantly stop myself from buying more chunky cardigans and ankle boots, because my closet is basically overflowing with them! (Fortunately, I never have to stop myself from making more statement necklaces, since that’s my job!)

elevated and chic everyday style

elevated classic and chic everyday style: jeans, patterned blouse, bib statement necklace // click through to shop this outfit

1/ printed blouse // 2/ distressed boyfriend jeans // 3/ contra bib necklace // 4/ grey clutch // 5/ fenix smart watch // 6/ suede ankle booties

There’s no denying that are collective casual style has gotten increasingly casual. (I’m looking at you, athleisure.) But just because everyone else has gotten increasingly lazy in their everyday wear doesn’t mean you have to. A great pair of jeans can be incredibly comfortable, and when paired with a simple blouse and easy to wear statement necklace, you’ve got an easy everyday look that’s chic and stylish at the same time.

rocker chic work style

rocker chic work style // click through to shop this outfit

1/ blush biker jacket // 2/ cami top // 3/ wool trousers // 4/ contra noir necklace // 5/ knot clutch // 6/ curve post earrings // 7/ kaden bootie

I like the idea of taking rocker chic pieces and toning them down with a softer color palette. (Plus I’m loving the blush and gunmetal combo with just a few hints of black.) It’s totally unexpected and a perfect way to show your edgier side at work without being, you know, too edgy.

bold necklace and off the shoulder top

bold necklace, off the shoulder top, jeans, and ankle boots // click through for outfit details

1/ embroidered off the should top // 2/ distressed boyfriend jeans // 3/ contra noir necklace // 4/ cross body bag // 5/ mixed metal stacking rings // 6/ suede ankle booties

I realize it’s probably getting too cold for off the shoulder tops, but I just finished this bold, one of a kind necklace, and it would look totally stunning with an off the shoulder top! Plus, we have jackets and indoor heat, so maybe this look is fine even into the late fall. (At least, that’s what I’m going to tell myself! Anything to show off a great necklace, right?!?)

an edgier version of my go-to outfit

by

edgy urban street style: grey distressed jeans, ankle boots, and black jewelry // click through for outfit details

1/ black cami // 2/ lace kimono // 3/ grey boyfriend jeans // 4/ contra bib necklace // 5/ embossed clutch // 6/ black stacking rings // 7/ ankle boots

I’ve mentioned my go-to outfit here before: jeans, ankle boots, and a cardigan. This is definitely an edgier version of that, with grey denim (which I’m totally loving) and and open-toe ankle boots, which would be perfect for this week’s weather forecast. (We’re seeing some mid-October afternoons that feel more like early September.)

chic and edgy holiday party style

chic and edgy holiday party style // click through for outfit details

1/ marni jacket // 2/ crepe top // 3/ tulle skirt // 4/ contra bib necklace // 5/ foldover clutch // 6/ curve post earrings // 7/ leather ankle boots

I know, I know, it feels a little too early to start thinking about the holidays. (And I certainly don’t want to speed past Halloween, since it’s my favorite!) But the truth is, the holiday season affords opportunities for dressing up that I just don’t get the rest of the year. (Especially since I spend my days getting down and dirty in my studio!) So while I don’t condone Christmas decorations in stores in September, I think it’s never too early to plan what you’ll be wearing to those holiday parties!

What I love most about this outfit is how chic it would look at any holiday party, while still feeling a little edgy at the same time. I guess that’s what happens when I start thinking about holiday style in October – it’s hard to shake that Halloween influence!

1/ silk blouse // 2/ long cardigan // 3/ ripped boyfriend jeans // 4/ contra bib necklace // 5/ faye clutch // 6/ mixed metal stacking rings // 7/ lea wedge booties

If yesterday’s multi-colored skirt was a bit much for you, the blouse/cardigan/necklace combo would also look fantastic with distressed denim and ankle boots. It’s basically my go-to fall look!

how to wear a party skirt for day

by

granny chic style: layer a cardigan over a blouse and party skirt to make it work for daytime // click through for outfit details

1/ silk blouse // 2/ long cardigan // 3/ striped midi skirt // 4/ contra bib necklace // 5/ faye clutch // 6/ fenix watch // 7/ lace up open toe heels

How do you take a playful skirt that feels party ready and make it appropriate for everyday? By layering on a more casual cardigan, of course! I’m all about using a cardigan to make a fancy look more casual. (Not to mention the fact that I’m always cold, so any time I can add another layer, I will.) The end result is definitely a little granny chic, but in a really fun way that’s perfect for work (or just for fun).
