Pastel Mix

My dear friend Rana knows how to wear pastel colors and transition them from summer to fall. She’s sporting a pastel mix color dress she bought in Dubai with a BP classic crewneck cardigan (always a great addition to any outfit, I have them in every color, they’re chic and comfy), Urban Outfitters bag (I’m loving this similar style Coach bag), Steve Madden sandals (similar here) and sunnies from Anthropologie.

Light it Up

JCREW pretty much rules my work wardrobe. I love it, it’s so classy, chic and it just fits rights! I find myself using its clothes for all types of occasions, so easy to mix and put together great outfits. This outfit is one of my favorites, I can wear it to the office and to go out, isn’t it great when you can wear the same outfit for two different places?

JCrew anchor blouse (similar here), H&M bright yellow blazer (current), JCrew minnie pants, Lower East Side (under $20) tan flats, LAMB bag, House of Harlow 1960 Chelsea sunglasses, Michael Kors watch, Stella & Dot renegade bracelet, and my favorite hair accessory: the top knot also known as the hair bun!

Black Tie Optional Attire

I love showcasing what friends and other stylish women wear on my blog and when I saw beautiful Beth wearing a sleek Robert Rodriguez (similar here) dress at a wedding we were at, I had to snag a few shots and show her amazing dress. Her black tie optional attire was perfection.

I mean, come on, how can I not include her when she was looking like this? Beth sported this fantastic dress paired up with J.Crew earrings and clutch, and Manolo Blahnik shoes. Don’t forget the top knot bun, always a classic, easy to do hair-do and perfect for any outfit you decide to wear. I adored this look on her.

Peplum

Peplum outfits are taking over our closets! I’m not going to lie.. I have a few peplum outfits. I first fell in love with a Zara pink peplum dress and then this H&M peplum top (similar here) added itself to my closet. I’m still contemplating the idea of getting this fabulous leather peplum top for fall but haven’t committed just yet.

To complete the outfit I choose this H&M pencil skirt (similar here, here and here), Zara heels (last time seen here), House of Harlow 1960 Chelsea sunglasses, Michael Kors watch, arm party: Stella & Dot renegade bracelet, H&M, Foverer 21.

When I first put this outfit together I immediately thought cocktail party outfit, engagement party outfit. You can also wear it in the fall if you just throw a jacket or trench coat.
