black necklace with a bold lip, white t-shirt, and leather jacket

I love that these new necklaces (which are inspired by minimal floral tattoos) have me going just a little bit edgier in my every day style. (And by every day style, I mean the clothes I throw on in the studio to take pictures of my new jewelry designs!) Still, it’s fun to play dress-up and push your style comfort zone every now and again.

Plus with or without the leather jacket, I still love how the new Verdoyante necklace looks against a basic white t-shirt. And it’s available now in my online store. (Where you can also get it in bronze or silver.)

casual edgy style: jeans and moto jacket

Normally when I do a real world look, I do something similar to an outfit I’ve worn in real life. But in this case, this look, styled by Gina from On the Daily Express, was just too perfect not to recreate! It’s a seriously easy look to pull together that’s a little bit edgy and a lot stylish. Perfect for the weekend or even a casual date night!

1/ velvet military jacket // 2/ satin cami // 3/ boyfriend jeans // 4/ contra necklace // 5/ envelope bag // 6/ curve post earrings // 7/ arnita pumps

This look would be perfect a more casual holiday party or an amazing New Year’s Eve night out. And while I’m loving the dark and edgy color palette of black and blue (which is mirrored in the necklace), I’m also loving the idea of throwing in an unexpected pop of rose gold in the clutch. It’s the perfect finishing touch to the perfect party ready outfit.

holiday style with a nod to the 90s

90s inspired holiday style: plaid skirt and moto boots // click through for outfit details

1/ wool coat // 2/ cropped sleeve sweater // 3/ plaid skirt // 4/ contra bib necklace // 5/ faye shoulder bag // 6/ black stacking rings // 7/ moto booties

I started out trying to find a way to style this plaid skirt for a holiday party, and soon realized that I managed to put something together that looks like it was pulled from the wardrobe department of any number of 90s movies. (Personally I’m pretending it’s from Empire Records, one of my all time faves.) But then I figured, if you have to go home for the holidays anyway, why not relive a little of your teen angst with a holiday outfit that’s a nod to the 90s.

casual and a little bit edgy

1/ two-tone sweater // 2/ boyfriend jeans // 3/ contra noir necklace // 4/ cross body bag // 5/ black stacking rings // 6/ ankle booties

When it comes to my casual style, I like outfits that have just a little bit of attitude to them. Which is why my closet is filled with distressed denim, ankle boots, and lots of black and grey. Of course, it never hurts to top off the look with a totally bold (and slightly badass) necklace!

how to make a summer floral dress edgy for fall

make a summer floral dress appropriate for fall with black leggings, chunky ankle boots, and a leather biker jacket // click through to shop this outfit

1/ leather biker jacket // 2/ floral dress // 3/ leggings // 4/ contra bib necklace // 5/ cross body bag // 5/ mixed metal stacking rings // 6/ wedge bootie

When it comes to my own closet, I’m not really the kind of person who thinks in terms of “summer” or “winter.” (Maybe it’s because I’m not organized enough to put clothes away at the end of a season!) But this outfit proves that even pieces that feel particularly seasonal can be adapted for year-round wear. This summery floral dress becomes fall appropriate (and definitely edgier) when paired with black leggings, tough ankle boots, and a leather biker jacket.

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.

an edgier version of my go-to outfit

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.)

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!
