Dots & Stripes

Layering and more layering. When will this weather go away and leave room for shorts and summer dresses? Hopefully soon but in the meantime, here’s another easy and fun way to layer and transition from winter to spring. Dot sweater and stripe shirt make up for an easy-breezy outfit. Whether you’re running errands, shopping or meeting your friends for a fun weekend brunch, this is an outfit that keeps you warm and brings out your style.

Red shoes are always a great option, they pop your outfit. I use these ZARA suede shoes on a regular basis. I also love these Alice + Olivia shoes that I save for special occasions. I do this because it took me years to find the perfect pair of red shoes so I have a pair that I can wear until I kill them and my nicer pair that I take extremely good care of and use for shorter outings.

Outfit layering essentials: Old Navy sweater, JCrew stripe shirt, Marciano skinny jeans and Clare Vivier clutch.

Jewelry: JCrew, Stella&Dot, Michael Kors, Lauren Ellan, House of Harlow 1960 sunglasses.

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.
