The Statement Necklace

I recently got this beautiful color mix necklace for my birthday and I’m in love! It is definitely a statement piece and makes an impact on any outfit. The color-mixing gives it a ton of versatility, making it easy to pair back to almost anything. Today I chose to pair the necklace back to neutral colors to let the necklace shine on it’s own. Lastly, I showcased this fun necklace with a high pony to keep the look casual.

Leopard and Leather

As I referenced in my Black & White post last week, I love the clean and simple combination of black and white this season. Instead of opting for my typical take on this trend of colorblock or stripes, I decided to translate it into a print- more specifically a leopard print!

I love keeping this trend monochromatic, but sometimes the occasion calls for a pop of color! For a little whimsy, I paired this rocker look with some fun mint accessories. It’s a great way to keep studded, faux-leather pieces from looking too biker. This look is perfect for any night out; it’s the ideal mix of dressing up and dressing down, both casual and chic!

For a while now, I’ve been lusting over this ASOS trapeze dress, but haven’t been able to justify buying it. It’s not necessarily expensive ($50), but it’s a little impractical for San Francisco. Then I found this similar style at Forever 21 for just $22. Just like the ASOS style, it has a caged neckline and is a fabulous bright blue color. Who cares if it’s practical if it’s only $22?

Since I can’t leave my apartment without at least one layer, I sported this amazing floral bomber from Forever 21. Notice a theme here? With this whole outfit being bought from Forever 21 and the shoes from Payless, it can all be purchased for under $70! See below for links.

I’ve been living in maxi skirts/dresses this season. They are so versatile and can easily take you from daytime into night with a change of an accessory or two. I recently bought this chiffon maxi skirt from Forever 21 for only $12.80! I absolutely love the light pink color and how it catches in the wind! To keep this look from going too rustic, I paired it back to my favorite blinged-out accessories, creating a shabby chic vibe!

To keep this skirt looking casual and cool in the daytime, I wore this adorable horseshoe printed chambray button up from Banana Republic. Instead of my usual half-tuck, I knotted it at the waistline to keep it tailored and girly.

Black, White and Bright

I have always been a big fan of print mixing. It adds a little fun to an otherwise ordinary outfit. A great way to dip your feet into the trend is to start with a common print like stripes, dots or animal print and pair it with a bold printed piece, like this floral skirt. I chose to pair this loud skirt with this black and white striped tank- these days I wear stripes so much that I almost consider it a solid!

I paired this look back to my favorite black sandals. These Payless black shooties were such a great buy; they are both comfortable and super affordable! Originally, I had fallen in love with these Steve Madden NONSTP Sandals, but wasn’t feeling the $99.95 price point. Then, I stumbled upon these Payless shoes for a quarter of the price and was immediately sold! They are so versatile, I get a ton of use out of them!

Flowers and Vines

As I mentioned in Monday’s Red Wine and Red Rompers post, my husband and I had a great time in Healdsburg, CA this past weekend. This tiny town not only offered us great wine, but also gorgeous views! These snapshots were taken at Truett Hurst, a rustic winery with incredible landscaping and awesome grounds to explore.

On this windy day, I sported this chiffon floral maxi (an incredible deal I snagged from Forever 21!). I felt pretty fabulous as it caught in the gusts of wind as we walked around the winery. Since I knew we would be on our feet all day, I stayed practical and finished this look with my favorite rhinestone flats and this simple blush crossbody. It was a fresh, easy summer look that worked perfectly for a day spent relaxing outside.

Exploring San Francisco with my husband is one of my favorite weekend activities. When I know a lot of walking and hills are on the agenda, comfort is key! With this in mind, I chose the girl’s best friend, a maxi skirt. I love maxis. They can be dressed up or down and are a staple for any wardrobe. I especially love this one from Nordstrom with the side zipper. You can change the height of the zipper slit depending on your outfit.

When dressing comfy, I quickly pass up the heels and grab some flats. The key to looking put together when dressing comfortable is accessorizing! In this look I opted to glam it up with my white rhinestone handbag, rhinestone caged sandals and heart sunnies. This was a great ensemble to run around town in. What key looks do you explore your city in? What’s your key to dressing practical and comfortable and still looking fabulous?
