Black Slip Dress for Daytime

edit-1072edit-0870edit-1176edit-1092edit-0751edit-1188edit-1115edit-1108

Dress: Topshop // Sweater: Gap (similar) // Shoes: Marc Fisher // Sunnies: Karen Walker 

 I love finding pieces that can be styled into multiple looks such as this black slip dress from Topshop for Nordstrom. In the next few posts I will be showing three different ways to style this classic slip dress for all occasions. I have tried on a million slip dresses but fell in love with this one because it is lined and not sheer. Black is my favorite color, so naturally it was my first choice, but this dress comes in other colors including a light pink that I also love.
 
The first thing I like to do in the morning is grab coffee, and go through all my emails. This dress goes perfectly with a large knit cardigan when running out the door early in the morning. I am wearing a cardigan that I got from Gap last year, but they have a ton of similar cardigans in their new arrivals for fall! As the day gets hotter, this dress also looks cute with a jacket or sweater tied around the waist. I paired this look with my favorite Marc Fisher flatforms to add some subtle height without having to wear heels. These shoes are seriously as comfortable as wearing flats but give some extra length to legs when wearing a dress.
 
If you are ever near the Harwood District in Dallas, Magnolias Sous Le Pont is the cutest coffee shop. I enjoyed their medium roast during this shoot and my photographer had an iced latte that was so delicious! xoxo

Metallic Foil Sweater

edit-0115edit-0169edit-0133edit-0193edit-0106

Sweater: Banana Republic // Shorts: Nordstrom // Sunglasses: Karen Walker

Dallas weather changes like the wind, and it makes dressing for the day very difficult. Just last Saturday I started the morning in cold rain, and by noon I was getting a sunburn. Banana Republic has become one of my favorite places to find outfits that can easily transition through the seasons and the day. This metallic foil sweater has three quarter length sleeves and an open knit that allows it breathe. I am wearing a size small and it fits loose throughout (including the arms), but fits true to size in length. Not only does this sweater pair well with jeans or pants for fall, but I paired with with my favorite jean shorts for a cool summer morning. The metallic foil on this sweater will pair well with darker pieces for fall and winter looks. Shop the entire look below! xoxo

Burnt Orange Top

Top: Nordstrom // Shorts: Nordstrom // Shoes: Marc Fisher // Sunnies: Karen Walker

When Nordstrom had their Anniversary Sale, this Socialite off the shoulder top was one of the first things I added to my basket. I love the tassels and lace detail on the bell sleeves. This top fits true to size (I am wearing a small) and has adjustable straps, so it will not fall off your shoulders. Since it is still 100 degrees in Dallas, I wore my favorite denim shorts from Levi’s. I am wearing a size 25 in the shorts and roll the cuff down once so they are longer in length. This burnt orange top is perfect for football season, (even though I will be cheering for Oklahoma!) and looks great with wide leg jeans for fall. The Marc Fisher flatforms are available in multiple colors, and the burnt orange top is also available in white. Shop the look below! xoxo

White Lace Skirt

Top: Equipment // Skirt: J.Crew // Shoes: Prada // Pearls: Tiffany & Co.

This past week, I celebrated my 23rd birthday, and my grandmother hosted one of her famous birthday lunches. I decided to bring out my pearls for the occasion, as well as this adorable white lace skirt I found on sale at J.Crew. I paired it with a classic black Equipment blouse (one of the most useful things in my closet) and my black and white Prada pumps. The white lace skirt fits true to size (wearing 00) and is fitted at the waist, but flares so that it is easy to move in. Shop this white lace skirt and my favorite pearls below! xoxo

Olive Pants

Shirt: Urban Outfitters // Pants: J.Crew // Shoes: Kate Spade // Jewelry: Kendra Scott

The constant 100 degree temperatures in Dallas have made it almost impossible to wear jeans or even most pants. This makes dressing for work a little more difficult than usual, so I went on the hunt for pants that were cool enough for the heat. I found these olive pants at J.Crew on sale and they are super light weight and the cropped length is great for the heat. I am wearing a size zero and it fits perfectly in the waist and is loose through the legs. My favorite Urban Outfitters tee goes great theses pants and Kendra Scott cuffs from their fall collection. Shop my look below! xoxo
