juxtapose

Efficiently paring down a sexy combination of sky high platforms and a skintight jersey dress with this handy blazer.  I like to call it- the mature version of a night out.

I’ve recently been super into high platforms and wedges.  Which comes as a serious shocker to me  because I have never once (until recently) thought them attractive  They just never seemed to be elegant or classy enough and let’s be honest, there are so many god awful versions of them lying around.  But I guess it is what it is and now I’m slowly turning into a die hard fan.  Let’s just hope that I don’t break an ankle walking in them because 5 inches is a long way down.

transitions

Slowly transitioning to fall by incorporating boots more frequently into my outfits and gearing towards longer lengths.  This outfit is screaming summer on top and fall on the bottom but I must point out that my top is still transitioning as well.  Because if you take a closer look, it’s a KNIT top!  I’ve always been such a sucker for knit tanks and vests, and Brandy Melville makes such great affordable ones.

By the way, I recently got this leopard bucket bag from Elizabeth & James, and I think I will be wearing it nonstop from now to forever.  I am dead serious!  If you get super sick of seeing me clutching onto it in every future blog post, feel free to intervene. 🙂

summer wedding

Gorgeous summer wedding!  I’ve never been to a wedding where the ceremony AND reception were held outdoors, and it did not disappoint.  The outdoor reception was so romantic and lovely.  I spent most of the night guzzling wine and cheering for the newlywed couple.  Almost to the point of pestering the bride to take an annoying amount of photos with me.  Blaming the wine for this!  I did manage to get a lot of great shots of and with them so I am still very pleased with myself. 😛

Now onto the outfit.  It’s fast becoming a habit of mine to not buy dresses because they’re so difficult to incorporate into multiple different outfits.  Which is why I decided to go with separates.  This Reformation skirt that I recently purchased seemed to be the perfect bottom piece because it’s so lightweight and that slit gives me a lot of leg room to dance my heart out on the floor while looking a bit sexier.  I paired it with a crop top that was hiding out in my closet and also some heels that would not match with anything I own.  I love it when you’re about to give up on something and it somehow finds it way to being useful again!

think pink

It’s amazing how a good dose of pink can liven up an outfit.  Wearing the same Cos shirt that finds its way on my body every day and some pink shorts that I picked up at Zara.  I also added some silver heels to give the outfit a little extra specialness.  They’re such a great alternative to nude or black sandals!
