Weekend Uniform

This past weekend I was in New Orleans and got to see everything from casual wear on Bourbon Street to preppy chic style on St. Charles Street. Even though Mardi Gras was over, the city was still vibrant and full of life. Beads continued to fly away from countless balconies and locals as well as visitors were as rambunctious as I had imagined.

My elbow patch blazer has become part of my weekend uniform and it was perfect for walking around Bourbon Street, Tulane, St. Charles Street and the French Quarter. Add camo pants and a chambray shirt to this mix for a fun, casual and chic combo. Camo prints are always fun to use, they add a little something extra if you ask me.

Zara blazer, JCrew chambray shirt, Zara camo pants, Tory Burch flats, American Apparel cities denim bag, Chanel Joues Contraste 55, Chanel April nail colour.

Accessories: Michael Kors watch, Rayban sunglasses, Bauble Bar chevron rings, Forever 21 ring. My favorite starfish earrings from Mint Julep. Starfish earrings go with absolutely everything, you can dress them up or down. I can’t wear them enough. They recently open a store in the West Village in New York. Mint Julep and I have a date this weekend!

Casual Bib Necklace

Bib necklaces are a great way to highlight your outfit, whether you’re going for a professional, formal or casual look. To get a casual bib necklace look, try using a loose top from Zara, skinny jeans from Marciano and Tory Burch flats (classic reva ballet flats).

Funny story about this necklace. I was at the Children’s National Hospital for an event and as I was leaving I found this necklace and I LOVE it!

As far as accessories, you know you love this trendy Michael Kors chronograph gold watch and Forever 21 bangles (similar ones). Stud gold earrings are simple and match the bib necklace peeeerfect! Marc by Marc Jacobs classic Q Hillier hobo bag.
