This outfit is all about juxtapositions, mixing a feminine blazer with casual, distressed denim for a look that’s got plenty of attitude.

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I’ve been more than a little obsessed with all the black and white that showed up at Paris Fashion Week. It looks like black and white is going to be a big trend for fall, and I couldn’t be happier!
Of course, you don’t have to wait until fall to rock this trend. Black and white is timeless and chic anytime of year, as exemplified by this outfit, which would be perfect for work, spring or fall.

I love a good shirt dress, especially when paired with skinny trousers, heels, and a great statement necklace. It’s so simple to put together but looks super chic when done right.

Now that we’ve got an official release date for the Apple Watch, it’s time to start planning your outfits. After all, if you’re going to shell out that kind of money for a watch, you want to make sure it goes perfectly with everything in your wardrobe!
After a long, snowy winter, it’s starting to feel a bit like spring! This outfit is perfect for days when it’s still pretty chilly, with added pops of color to remind you that spring is just around the corner.

Despite a bitterly cold brutal winter, every so often, we do seem to get a day that reminds us that spring isn’t too far off. (I hope.) This outfit is perfect for those days when 38 degrees feels like 50 and you just can’t stand the thought of putting on your winter coat and hat.

Last night, one of my all time favorite shows came to an end. It’s amazing that a fictional show could provide such an amazing role model, but that’s what Leslie Knope is. She showed girls (and, let’s be honest, women) that it ok to be smart and weird and outspoken and ambitious and passionate and caring and kind, all at the same time.
I can’t help but love Leslie Knope because there’s a part of me that is Leslie Knope. I was the overachieving girl, participating in student government and Model UN and the Congressional Youth Leadership Conference, all while dreaming of being the first women President. But I also love Leslie Knope because we need more characters like her (and Donna Meagle, who brings a different type of role model to the show) on TV. The strong, confident woman who inspires girls to be themselves and go after what they want.
As for Leslie’s outfit? She could totally wear this to a swanky DC party. (Perhaps at Joe Biden’s house?)

I’m a big fan of distressed denim. Maybe it’s because it’s a little softer (and so much more comfortable). Or maybe it’s because the jeans I wear when I’m working in the studio are now suddenly perfectly on trend. Either way, I really love distressed denim. But the key to keeping it from looking too sloppy (or too 90s grunge) is to pair it with a few chicer pieces. Add a statement necklace and a nice shoe and, even when paired with a more casual cardigan, it’s a look that perfectly appropriate for a number of places.

Need a confidence boost at work? Look no further than a statement necklace. Whether you’re the boss or slugging it out in a cubicle, a statement necklace can let everyone know who really runs the show. Here are eight outfits to help you style a statement necklace for work.
1/ with a similarly colored patterned dress // 2/ with a simple blouse and trousers // 3/ with a sheath dress and cozy sweater // 4/ with a floral midi skirt
5/ with a warm, wool dress // 6/ with a bold floral print // 7/ with a powerful dress // 8/ with a chic all black look
It is freezing on the East Coast right now, but something tells me this dress would be nice and warm, especially when you add in a pair of cozy tights!
I’ve also become a little obsessed with wearing black jewelry over black clothes. It somehow manages to be subtle and dramatic at the same time!
