blazer <willow and clay>, top <ann taylor>, skirt <cythnia steffe>, shoes <l.a.m.b.>, bag <antik batik>, necklace <amrita singh>, belt <target>

architecture and clothing can have similar elements of design.  here, clean lines dominate and recur. the roof line, windows and curb parallel the shoe straps, skirt and belt. i love the cohesiveness of this outfit coupled with the construction of the scene. with the mustard top and bold necklace, there’s something perfect, yet unexpected about this look.

sparkling jewel tones

top <french connection>, skirt <bordeaux los angeles>, booties <dolce vita>, clutch <target>, belt <anthropologie>, clear bangle <the limited>, gold bangle and necklace <vintage>

my favorite colors to combine coexist in jewel tone family.  each color on its own is so rich and vibrant: yet when combined, they can be quite striking.  this fuchsia sequin top radiates when paired with the muted color of the skirt.  to offset the top and skirt, i added a rich cobalt blue clutch and turquoise blue necklace.  the multicolored belt brings the entire look together. with the length of the skirt and the shine of the top, this is a perfectly sophisticated urban look.

all day chambray

layer, tie or button your chambray shirt to transition it from a day at work, to lunch with friends and then a night out in the city.  first, i layered the chambray shirt under a blazer adding a professional touch for a day at work.  then, for lunch with friends, i wrapped my chambray shirt over a lace dress and added wedges to make the look feel more casual.  since tying button-up shirts are back in style (welcome to the 1990s), this shirt plays a simple role as a lightweight sweater.  finally, for a night out on the town, i tucked in my shirt into a bright, tulip skirt and added some hot, strappy heels and flashy bracelets.  i love the chambray shirt!
