A Midsummer Night Out

Hi everyone! Hope your summer is going well and you're keeping cool in these hot temps. It's been so hot these last few weeks that I've just been staying indoors and devouring a number of romance novels and RomComs and it got me thinking about creating fun date night outfits. One is for a nice, casual dinner and drinks in the city, and the other is for a night clubbing and living it up. I wanted both looks to be affordable but there are expensive pieces to serve as inspiration. Let me know what you think!

Closet Lust... May


Summer is basically here but it seems to come and go in Pittsburgh. I've been so chilly in between the warm rays of sunshine that manage to peak behind the clouds. The heat just needs to come already and thaw us out, I swear. But I've found four new items that I think will be very useful for the summer, items I would be consistently pulling from out of my closet.


$44.98 - Aldo SMILE Bag
Aldo is a shoe and accessory company that is really providing an interesting perspective to the fashion industry and this handbag is the perfect example of this. The architecture is so well done that it looks expensive and I wouldn't be surprised if it gets marked up by another $100. The biggest strength I see of this bag is its versatility because I could see anyone using it to go to the supermarket or meet up with friends for lunch.
Summer is sandal season and this wedge is a beautiful addition to any shoe collection. There are a few colors on the Nine West website but I'm quite partial to the blue shown above. This is something that personally I would wear with jeans and a nice t-shirt. It's casual, flirty, and perfect for the season.

A maxi skirt is great to have as they can be worn on many different occasions. One day at work, I saw three different women sporting beautiful maxi skirts and I thought I was out of the loop somehow. I've been searching for a yellow maxi skirt ever since and I'm really happy to have found this one from New York and Company. The floral pattern is summery and bright and from the pics from other users on the website, it looks like a great buy.


So that's it for May. I've been kinda stressed out these past two weeks but I'm glad I came across the items I found. Not sure if I'll have more to say this month, but I'll keep you posted.

Workin' It In the Winter

I honestly love work apparel and today I decided to create two work looks for the upcoming colder weather. In the first look, you'll notice that there is very little color in the actual work outfit. To add a spicy pop of color, I picked a bright tangerine pashmina to put off the darker tones of the look. I adore the pashmina but my favorite piece is the coat, mostly for its construction. A long single breasted coat in a simple gray color like the one below is a great piece to have for a winter wardrobe and when paired with the striking color of the pashmina, it looks amazing.

If you look through the items of Look 2, you'll notice some of the pieces are a lot more expensive. Not to worry, cheaper options are always available. I started this look with the knit top and the lattice print skirt and worked from there. To enhance the gold skirt, I chose a long turquoise coat from H&M and a champaigne pashmina scarf. A beige patent leather pump and a brown Coach handbag are great accessories that complete the look.
