classic white shirt and leggings

classic white shirt and printed leggings via megan auman

A classic white shirt should be a staple in most women’s wardrobes, but it’s also important to consider your shape when choosing the perfect white shirt. I’m on the boxier side, so if I wear a traditional men’s cut white button down, I end up looking like, well, a man. That’s why I opt for tunic length shirts that only button part way, or, like in this option, don’t button at all.

I also love pairing a classic shirt like this with the playfulness of my leggings. It’s an outfit that’s fun and chic at the same time.

1/ white collared tunic // 2/ wings leggings // 3/ droplet post earrings // 4/ emma necklace // 5/ saturday morning foldover clutch // 6/ defined the scenes flats

summer soirée

what to wear to a summer soiree - maxi dress and long necklace - via megan auman

The ethereal quality of this maxi dress is sure to make you feel a bit like a goddess, or, at the very least, a lovely lady. (This is one of the reasons I truly love maxi dresses – even in a casual one, I always feel like the fanciest version of myself!)

I imagine wearing this to a fantastic lawn party, ideally at a historical mansion. (Or just a regular mansion. I’m not picky.)

1/ justina maxi dress // 2/ alice necklace // 3/ golden lightweight scarf // 4/ bronze sequence ring // 5/ remnant foldover clutch // 6/ floral sandals

Style doesn’t have to be so serious. Sometimes, you need a little bit of fun and whimsy. This outfit gives you a double dose with a scribbly floral print top and a whale print tote bag.

Toss on a colorful scarf and some cute wedges and you’re ready for an evening stroll on the boardwalk, with an outfit that shouts to the world, “I look good, but I don’t take life too seriously!”

1/ floral print tank // 2/ boyfriend jeans // 3/ sibling rivalry scarf // 4/ fossil tote // 5/ audrey bracelet // 6/ toms strappy wedges

one statement necklace, two ways: little black dress and maxi dress via megan auman

It doesn’t take much to make a basic black dress look fantastic. Both these outfits pair a black dress with a statement necklace, clutch, and a great pair of shoes for looks that are truly stunning.

Now you just need to decide: short or maxi?

I’m pretty sure half the images on my street style board feature women wearing amazing, statement skirts. (The other half are probably wearing boyfriends jeans and heels.)

I don’t know where everyone is going in those fantastic skirts, but I definitely want to be invited.

casual spring style: how to wear yellow

leggings and flats - casual spring style - how to wear yellow - via megan auman

I know a lot of people are scared to wear yellow. (With the notable exception of my friend Elle, who’s obsessed.) These are often the people who have been dead set their whole lives against wearing gold or other yellow metals. (When I launched my steel and bronze shift collection, I converted many people to warmer metals that looked great against their skin tone. I consider it a public service.)

If you’re unsure about yellow, I say, go for it. Find a great top or dress and try it on. You may have to play with a few shades until you get it right.

And if you’re still nervous about yellow, you can always ease into it. Swap the yellow top for a black one and go for pops of yellow in your pants, bag, or shoes.

Now you’ve just added a whole new color to your wardrobe options!

1/ pam breeze-ly tunic // 2/ wings leggings in yellow // 3/ maya necklace // 4/ black and yellow clutch // 5/ point toe ballet flats

what to wear to an art opening: dressy boho edition

what to wear to an art gallery opening: dressy bohemian style - maxi skirt and point toe flats - via megan auman

Last week, I posted a sophisticated and chic look that would be perfect for an art opening. Today’s outfit would also be perfect for an art gallery opening, but the vibe is totally different. I’m calling it dressy boho. (What is it about a maxi skirt that always makes me feel so bohemian?)

If you wanted to, you could swap out the scarf for a statement necklace (like this one) and keep the look all black and white. But I like the pop of color this scarf adds for spring.

1/ johnny collar blouse // 2/ brush print maxi skirt // 3/ sibling rivalry scarf // 4/ susan bracelet // 5/ origami clutch // 6/ point toe flats

femme fatale

femme fatale - a classic black and white outfit by megan auman

I love old movies. There’s something about the combination of the style mixed with an emphasis on dialog over special effects that gets me every time. But a big part of it is probably the style. (I once saw an exhibition that included both Audrey Hepburn’s dress from Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Grace Kelly’s dress from Rear Window. I thought I might die from excitement.)

This outfit has that old movie feel to me. Like our girl would be sitting in an outdoor cafe (obviously in Europe), spying on the male lead through those dark glasses. But at the same time, you could look just as chic and modern wearing this outfit today. (Spying optional.)

1/ it girl next door dress // 2/ lorna flat // 3/ sun and games hat // 4/ the row sunglasses // 5/ magpie lightweight scarf // 6/ wings foldover clutch // 7/ susan bracelet
