A White & Black Affair


Hair down, purse out for look #1

This outfit almost looks as if it's a sassy white cropped top paired with a skirt, but it's actually an all-in-one colorblock dress for a an easy summer night out on the town. The side cut-outs make for a little playfulness without overdoing a full skin-reveal made by a cropped top. Sometimes it's a little risqué to get a dress with cut-outs, but showing a little skin never hurt anyone. The medium-sized striped handbag is made by a funky designer fav, Betsey Johnson, but resembles Kate Spade as my friend Annie pointed out. :) The centered subtle bow and cute trim make the purse pop with detailed class- far cuter than just stripes on a bag.

Lose the bag and put the hair up for a simple, classier feel!

Simple Striped Love.

I can't express how much I love this handbag! You can't see it now, but it has the longer strap tucked in for an over the shoulder option. It's bigger than most bags I own, but it was too darn cute to say no to. Plus, you can't go wrong with a black and white combo purse since it goes with pretty much any outfit. The price you ask? Only $40.00 at TJ MAXX. What a good deal, for real.

Sometimes it's fun to switch up your purse routine so you have options with your daily outfits. Once in a while, treat yourself and don't be afraid of the price as many designer bags are sold for much less than their websites list! Get inspired: One of my fav sites to scroll through is ShopStyle.

Stay Classy everyone!   xoxo - Lindsey

Purple Haze

This day is all about easy-chic. Polyester meets faux leather for the ultimate swing skirt on bottom, equipped with a pastel purple up top. I could live in this  J.Crew Tee - meant for casual wear but easily classed up with a skirt! Who says tees can't be classy? This is not your only-wear-with-jeans tee. Don't be afraid to mix and match styles as they end up balancing for a soft, cute look worth writing home about.

Hair down...


...or buns up!

Shades of 70's

With summer slowly fading into fall, I'm on the verge of neutrals and 70's mod. I saw these Target tights on triple discount at Goodwill and thought, why not? I don't own anything else that's orange so better go with some colorful tights to color block an outfit and make it pop! Yellows, oranges and browns make for pretty autumn hues that are both vibrant and eye-catching.

Thanks for looking!
