Call me old fashioned, but I believe that Sunday brunch is a reason to dress up a little. This pencil skirt is super chic, and the addition of the denim shirt keeps it from getting too dressy. True, you might be the most dressed up person at brunch, but in my book, that’s never a bad thing.

I’m in Philly this weekend for the Art Star Craft Bazaar. (You can find me in booth 37.) So I thought I’d share an outfit that’s perfect for browsing an outdoor craft show. Cute dress? Check. Comfy shoes? Check. Jacket in case the weather gets iffy? Check. Adorable clutch that you purchased from me at the show? (See what I did there?) Check.

Layering a dress over jeans is the perfect way to style a dress that’s just a little too short for your comfort level. It’s also the perfect way to make a summery dress work in spring. And, it’s a great way to make a dress a little more casual. All around, it’s a great combination. (Especially when paired with my newest casual statement necklace!)
1/ drawstring dress // 2/ distressed jeans // 3/ melissa necklace // 4/ saturday morning foldover clutch // 5/ sequence ring // 6/ t-strap sandal
I love summer, so as soon as the weather starts to warm up, I can’t wait to bust out my summer clothes. And if adding a sweater means I can extend shorts season by a few weeks in either direction, I’m totally down with that.

Every so often, I see an outfit on Pinterest that I love so much that I have to go create my version of it. This outfit was inspired by an image I saw of a woman wearing a denim shirt, polka dot skirt, and scarf. But since I’m more into pattern than polka dots, my version would include this Orla Kiely skirt instead.
1/ chambray shirt // 2/ monochrome skirt // 3/ sibling rivalry lightweight scarf // 4/ stripe market tote // 5/ atlanta on my mind flats
This outfit is perfect for a spring day where the weather is a little, shall we say, transitional. (Translation: Why the hell can’t it be summer already!?!) As I’ve mentioned here before, I love a good maxi dress, and I really love it paired with one of this spring’s major trends, the military jacket.

I know that, when it comes to shorts, many women either love them or hate them. But I love shorts. I love them for summer. I love them mixed with unexpected footwear. (Like tall boots.) And I love them dressed up in a way that is effortlessly chic, like this outfit, which wouldn’t look out of place on the streets of New York.
1/ wide brim fedora // 2/ emma necklace // 3/ origami cubo leather tote // 4/ girl about scranton tunic // 5/ defined the scenes flat // 6/ oversized cardigan // 7/ bronze sequence ring // 8/ lana shorts
Confession time: I’ve never been to the ballet. But I’m adding it to my life list, because I’m pretty sure I would love it. I love ballet costumes. I love cheesy movies about ballet dancers. And I love having an excuse to get dressed up. All in all, it seems like a pretty fantastic way to spend an evening.
And this outfit seems about perfect for my first trip to the ballet.
1/ linen and silk tank // 2/ dutch print skirt // 3/ audrey necklace // 4/ magpie foldover clutch // 5/ defined the scenes flats
I don’t have a chance to dress up very often, which is what makes going to a wedding so fun. (The same could be said about dancing.) I love having an excuse to wear a great little dress and heels. This navy dress is a fun alternative to black (and perfect for summer) and the lightweight scarf is a great addition if you find yourself a little cold. (Or want to cover up your shoulders in church during the ceremony.)
1/ droplet hoop earrings // 2/ clock strikes farewell dress // 3/ harbour lightweight scarf // 4/ remnant foldover clutch // 5/ selma pump
I love a good statement necklace. (And it’s not just because I’m a jewelry designer.) A statement necklace is the easiest way to take an outfit from boring to bold.
Most people tend to think of statement necklaces as a fancy accessories, but I believe you can wear a statement necklace anytime, day or night, with pretty much anything.
These twelve outfits are proof of that.
1/ with a ball skirt // 2/ with a party dress // 3/ with a pencil skirt // 4/ with a work ready sheath dress // 5/ with boyfriend jeans and a basic t-shirt // 6/ with a tunic and leggings
7/ with a shift dress and cardigan // 8/ with a mini dress and heels 9/ with a maxi dress // 10/ with a motorcycle jacket // 11/ with your favorite little black dress // 12/ with a classic white shirt
