Feminine and Fun!

Look of the Day:

There is nothing wrong with looking girly and feminine. The key is to not over do it. if you are wearing a girly color, such as pink, I think it works well to add in a color to offset it. With this outfit I have chosen a pinkish red dress and matched it with gold and blue accessories. I think the combo works great for summer! This dress is adorable and conservative enough for the office, but pretty enough to wear to a nice lunch or even for an evening out.

Blouse and High Waist Skirt

A great look right now is a plain, cute, white blouse being tucked into a high waist skirt. And pairing the outfit with HOT shoes is a must! This look here is a great way to get started with this trend. its simple, yet chic and girly. The colors are pretty neutral and toned down, so I added a funky orange bracelet to spice it up.

Fun in Flats!

Flats don't have to be boring. So many stores and brands have beautiful new styles and shapes. And you can find them to go with just about any outfit for just about any occasion. I personally have been wearing flats a lot lately for work. I work in Manhattan and have to walk a lot. I am not the sneaker wearing type, so flats are perfect for me during the week. Find a style and a price that fits you!

Very Versatile

Look of the Day:

Here is a look that can be worn to work with no problem. But then it will also work nicely for an evening out as well. It's fun, but conservative and classic too. The colored shoes make this outfit perfect for an evening out, but they don't over power it making it be able to work in an office setting. I love the old fashioned, yet updated, feel of this outfit. I also think it appears to be high fashion, but these pieces are all very reasonably priced!
