Ruffles

I wore this to girls night. I found this skirt on ThredUp I loved the little ruffles. I paired it with a simple black and white top. I'm trying a little bit of a capsule wardrobe right now with neutrals, pink and green and whatever else that still fits me in my closet but I saw this skirt and even though it's not in the palette it goes with the neutrals.

Blush Leopard

I got most of this outfit from ThredUp.  I placed 2 orders this month. I want clothes that fit and I feel confident in but I don't want to spend a lot while I'm trying to get healthier. ThredUp was a great solution and I can search by color so everything goes together. I thought this fuzzy skirt was such a unique piece.

Wear it Now and Later

Some fall styles are out and there are good deals on summer pieces. I'm going to take a dress, top, and skirt and style them for summer and fall.

The Piece: Black Maxi Dress $68  A black maxi dress is a great year round piece.
Summer: Paired with a fun straw hat ($25), a coral-esque cuff ($24.50), and red sandals($50) it's a great look for a vacation or just a fun weekend.
Fall: You can put a cami on top of the dress to keep everything smooth. Add a jewel toned sweater ($34.50) and a fun printed scarf ($29.95) some flats($39.90) and you are ready to go. There are endless combos for this look.

The Piece: Blue button skirt $69.50      It's an easy to wear shape and it would look great at the office. I'm styling it for the weekend and date night. I would look great at the office with a blush or white blouse.
Summer: Go to brunch with the girls by pairing it with a striped off the shoulder top ($36), a nautical necklace (similar $17.99) and fun sandals ($49.99).
Fall: Go a little monochromatic on a date by adding a navy bell sleeve blouse ($24.97), navy over the knee boots ($32.46), and a jeweled ring($14).

The Piece: Mustard Ruffle Top $34.95    Mustard is one of my favorite fall colors but it's great in the summer too.
Summer: This is a great weekend look with white denim shorts ($39), brown sandals ($15.99), and a matching tote ($37.50).
Fall: Take it to the office with a navy pencil skirt ($29.98), and your favorite pair of heels($49.96). If you keep your outfit simple you can really have fun with shoes and still look pulled together.
