Today's dress is another easy cotton number to beat the heat. This black dress is by Kimichi Blue and I got it at Urban Outfitters last year for around $80. Shoes are my Enzo Angiolini Gladiators, $89, 
Basically the High Low is taking a super basic piece of clothing - in this case the low priced Grey Tee (Gap, $25) and mix it with higher cost pieces - linen skirt and jewelry, colorful shoes.
It was H.O.T. today so I went with a simple cotton shirt dress that would be cool and still look nice. This dress is a black Mossimo tie-waist shirt dress I got at Target awhile back for about $30-$40. 
Getting hot and humid here in NYC so this was probably not the best outfit, but I was (say it with me) RUNNING LATE! It was along weekend and there was not much time for prep the night before but I feel like I did ok. At least looks somewhat put together!
After hiking for 7 hours in the Andes for four days in a row, I fit in my Paige Denim jeans a little better so I thought I'd try them again today. I wanted to wear a pretty dress and heels after a week of looking like a crunchy granola girl, but the weather did not cooperate. Maybe Friday.
The shirt dress is a classic but can be hard to dress up since it's just one piece. Today, I tied the Chanel scarf Kim gave me along with the belt to give it some interest. The shoes are my Cole Haan gold hurrache pumps($338). Super comfy with the Nike air foot bed and the low heel. The dress is actually from Target (Merona, $25) and I have it in black as well. Kind of hard to go wrong with it!
What a blah way to start the week! I tried the chinos($60) again with a different top and still no go. Last time all the fabric on top felt too flowy with the loose fit of the chinos (where does the skinny come in, BR?) so this time I kept it simple. Paired with my Kimichi Blue embroidered blouse ($80) and Cole Haan ballets ($138). I think you can tell by the look on my face in the photo that I am unhappy. Blergh!
This little number was part of my ridiculous shopping trip in Nolita but I have to say I LOVE it. I stumbled on it while browsing through Tory Burch on eElizabeth St. First I tried on a sequin dress that looked like it fell out of Beyonce's closet, and then i saw this and it was just so me. The cherries are fun, the fit is great, and...it has POCKETS! 
Feel like this backdrop is washing me out a bit so bear with me. Today really felt like spring and getting dressed was a little different. No boots necessary! Anyway, I was a little tired of jeans but it's still too chilly for a skirt, so I pulled out these olive/gray chinos that I have never worn. I had always imagined these with a t-shirt and flip flops for summer, but wanted to try making them cute for work. Did I succeed? What do you think?
But I'm using it anyway. The weather has been absolute crap for the last five days so I've been dressing a little sloppier and didn't have much to post. Today I'm flying for a business trip, so I wanted to wear something comfortable and layered. I didn't put too much effort in this morning, but I think the blazer takes if from ok to cute. I'm telling you...if you don't have a boyfriend blazer in your closet, you're missing out! 
Who says you can't wear sequins for day? No one actually. In fact I've read several times that sequins are okay at any time really, just in the right amounts. Today I have on a new sequin jacket, but since the color (grey) is somewhat conservative, I thought it would be cute for work. Kept the rest of the outfit simple and wore very little jewelry. The result was lots of compliments! Yay!
SO much better than yesterday! I'm still out of town for business, but this looks cute and professional (Hey, I'm a creative. I can get away with this!) and the Lucky Strike Extra is that it will be ridiculously comfortable for my flight back. 
Oh boy - 55 degrees and sunny. Awesome. This inspires me to go through my closet soon and purge the heavy winter stuff that I didn't wear and there's a lot of it. I'll do that soon. Now - Tuesday's outfit.
I guess this really is my go to look. Ugh. Need to get more creative.
This is a pretty simple outfit today but I had fun finding accessories. I really wanted to wear the grey boots today - normally I'd wear this outfit with black boots or ballets - and thought it was either a great match with the blue/grey skirt or a terrible one but went for it anyway. After digging through my closet though I found a belt that I've never worn that seemed to pull it all together. It's a leather one from Target - was probably $20 - and it's hung in my closet unworn for 18 months. The brushed nickel look of the belt hook seems to bring the grey boots in to the outfit and balance out. Or maybe I'm totally over-thinking it. : ) Either way I'm happy with the way I look and I've worn something I haven't before. Win-Win.
