Skirtin' Around

A super hot trend right now is a skirt and matching crop top set.  BCBG Max Azria has an amazing selection of these sets for the summer, most of which are 40% off! After multiple trips to BCBG, drooling over the chic cropped jackets, and  sets, Lindsay finally went for the purchase. This high wasited blue and white patterned skirt shares a matching top that is also very flattering.

 She decided in order to make the most of the purchase, the skirt and shirt need to be worn separately when possible. Yesterday, for work, she paired the skirt with a simple, blush Madewell blouse. She added her new H&M heels (that were less than $30), her stylish Karen Walker sunglasses, and a bunch of her favorite jewelry from Neely by NVB. Also from Neely by NVB is the Brown Evie bag seen here, that is a perfect size for an everyday work bag.

 What also makes this bag so special is that the colors of the bag represent each school that Neely's team visits on their college tours. While Lindsay obviously loves the Washington and Lee Generals Blue and White, she decided the Brown University's colors were more neutral and would work well with any outfit, as it does here.

Simple Essentials

Buying work clothes and clothes to go out in are often times very different and not appropriate for the other. Thus, expanding your wardrobe can be difficult as its hard to pick and chose between buying more for one. The outfit, pictured above, can be mixed and matched with other pieces to fit both because it uses items that are simple and understated.

A structured black skirt is a staple that you should have in your closet. It can be worn in all seasons (with tights in the winter) and dressed both up and down. 

This Zara crop top was initially bought as a going out shirt. Though paired with this skirt, it becomes effortlessly appropriate for work (if you are working for a more low key company - such as advertising or fashion). Wear the top with a tighter skirt when going out at night and capitalize on its versatility.

These Tory Burch 'Reggie Sandals' are a very easy and comfortable shoe. The thick heel dresses the outfit up while keeping it more casual than pumps. They were our favorite work shoes this summer!

Item of the Week-'Parker' Skirt

Since I've been back at school and sharing all of my sorority sister's closets, I have discovered a number of pieces that I NEED to have for school this fall. My favorite item thus far comes from my friend Dashiell's closet that is always stocked with the latest and chicest clothing that I never fail to take advantage of...This Parker skirt is a favorite of both of ours and amongst my friends, we have at least five of them in this style in different patterns and colors. It is so flattering and looks good paired with a sweater as a conservative outfit for class or something more fun like a crop top and cowboy boots when going out. Visit the Parker website and Parker on Shopbop and Revolve (our faves obviously.) Hope everyone's excited to be back at school! I know we are…

Finding Your Style

This past Monday Taylor began her internship at Louis Vuitton, in New York City. Finding everyday outfits that are both appropriate for work and stylish can be challenging. Today's ensemble seemed very fitting as it featured two timeless, black pieces and fun jewelry.

However, with the weather still a bit chilly, it seems as though the City hasn't switched gears from black to white. Because this makes finding the appropriate outfit more difficult, it's important to use clothing that is simple and timeless. Always remember that wearing your best clothes to create a good first impression and a positive image is part of the internship experience. Stay updated with our blog to see more work appropriate outfits!
