Throwing on jean shorts and a basic tee in the summer is an easy go-to outfit when you're in a rush to get out the door. But wearing the same basic outfit just because it's easy is a bad habit to get into; that's why having statement pieces, like this sleeveless vest, are always a good investment. Adding this vest and some lace-up block heels take a basic summer look from casual to edgy in under ten seconds (and side note - these are the comfiest heels I've ever owned!!). I can't even count how many times I've worn this vest over various outfit combinations - it goes with everything! Wear it to the office or to brunch on a Saturday morning - you really can't go wrong. Many retailers are coming out with more sleeveless vest options in their fall lines. Check out this bright pink sleevless jacket or baby blue drapey open front vest at The Limited! I personally have my eye on both :) The "third piece" is going to be huge this fall! Happy shopping loves! xoxo

Today marks the beginning of February, which means Valentine's Day is just around the corner. The status of your dating life doesn't need to determine how much red and pink you wear in the next two weeks though. Have a significant other? Awesome; here's a date night outfit idea with a little edge...Single? Just as well; here's an outfit to rock on Valentine's Day before you treat yourself to a nice bottle of vino...These red dress pants from Gap are probably the most comfortable that I've found, and I just snagged my BCBG pumps off the clearance rack at DSW for $20!! It was "shoe love" at first sight. I decided to pair these with a sleeveless maxi blazer. To say maxi blazers have been hot this season is an understatement, and they're an extremely versatile piece to have in your closet on top of that! If red pants aren't your style, try a black tshirt dress with red strappy heels for a pop of color, or a pink lace blouse with white destructed denim. Links to similar styles below! xoxo
