The Midi Skirt Secret

Skirt: Madewell  ||  Crop top: American Apparel  ||  Heels: Jessica Simpson (old)  ||  Clutch: J.Crew  ||  Necklace: Go Fish 

Dress: Urban Outfitters  ||  Tshirt: J.Crew (similar)  ||  Necklace: Go Fish  ||  Heels: Aldo (similar)

You all probably know by now that I love midi skirts! (You might even remember that In my Loehmann's video I say that it's my favorite trend!) As I've talked about in previous posts, they look great with crop tops or graphic shirts and my #1 rule is that you must wear them with heels. BUT what I haven't shared with you all is my midi skirt secret! It may come as a surprise that in the photo above, I'm actually wearing a yellow striped midi dress (not a skirt)! Whoa! I added a basic t-shirt over this sleeveless dress and tied it in a knot in the back to create the look of a midi skirt. I made sure to have the shirt hit my waist when knotting it to give the illusion that the skirt was high waisted. Is your mind blown or what?! :) Seriously though, I encourage you to try this with any of your mid-length dresses in your closet. It will immediately update your wardrobe! Plus you get to wear something old in a new way! Yippee! And I can't forget to mention my Go Fish necklace that I absolutely adore and wear all the time! Fall Styling tip: In cooler temperatures, throw on a jean jacket (over your shoulders of course!).

The Weekender: Dressing for Fall When it Still Feels Like Summer

Jacket: Urban Outfitters (old, similar)  ||  Tank Top: American Eagle  || Shorts: American Eagle  ||  Sandals: Madewell

I don't know about you guys, but it's been getting into the 80's here in New York this week. Which I'm not complaining, it's been absolutely beautiful and I'm still holding on to the last few days of summer! (I'm a Florida girl at heart.) But when it's the end of September, you want to start wearing your fall wardrobe. Here's how to do it without sweating bullets in full on jeans and sweaters just yet. The key is to find one or two fall items, whether it's a jacket, ankle boots, hat or flannel shirt to give your look that touch of fall paired with pieces that still keep you cool. I put together this military jacket, which is perfect for this season, with distressed jean shorts for a casual weekend outfit. Style tip: I started wearing my jacket in a new way by rolling up the sleeves. You can also rock this look with boyfriend jeans and ankle boots when the temperatures drop a little more. I got my jacket maybe 5 years ago at Urban Outfitters but there are so many similar options in stores right now (including a variety of cute styles at Urban Outfitters). In fact, Old Navy has one at the moment for $39.94...now that's a good deal!

My Favorite Street Style Looks from NYFW Spring 2015

During New York Fashion Week, like most bloggers and photographers, I was on the hunt for the best street style looks. While I absolutely loved going to the runway shows, a lot of the must-see outfits were just outside the tent. Each day I hung out at Lincoln Center and observed an overflow of inspiring head-to-toe looks from editors, bloggers, models, stylists and all around fashion lovers. From midi skirts and crop tops to distressed boyfriend jeans, floppy hats, and a number of statement accessories, I found SO many amazing ensembles that I know I will draw from when I'm putting together my next #ootd. Oh and don't get me started on all the bold prints and textures. I couldn't get enough! It definitely gave me a lot of ideas for new trends to try like wide leg trousers with a crop top, mixing prints and patterns, and matching separates.

Here are all my favorite styles from the streets. Which look do you love the most?!
