Hi Loves! Today's look is the second installment of my Skirt Style Guide! I styled my favorite leather skirt that I've also styled here & here on the blog. My aim was to style a look that was edgy and chic enough to wear when going out with your girlfriends or on a date night with your honey. I decided to mix prints at the last minute with a windowpane print blouse and striped blazer. I kept it simple with black white, and silver accessories but because I LOVE color, I threw on a bright orange bag. My pointy cut out flats completed the look. 

WHAT I WORE:

[ :: Striped Blazer (Buy) :: Windowpane Blouse (Buy) :: Black leather skirt (Buy) :: Shoes (Buy) :: Orange Purse c/o Rosegal (sold out, but Black version here!) :: ]

Linking up here, here, here, & here!

Happy New Year loves! I decided to take a few days off from blogging to relax and refresh myself for the new year and all that comes with it (last year of grad school, wedding planning,etc).  I didn't completely ditch social media, I still posted pictures to my Instagram! So join me there, if you haven't already!

 Sooooo, do you notice anything different on my blog? I'll give you a hint...my pictures! I'm so excited to play with my new DSLR that my fiance J gave me for Christmas (as if I didn't already love that man to the moon and back) and share higher quality images with you and maybe some video tutorials on some style questions some of you have asked me! I have wanted this camera for two years and I am so thankful to have it and I have so much to learn, so if any of you have any photography tips, please feel free to flood the comments/my inbox with them!

STYLE GUIDE: Try wearing a statement jacket when your outfit isn't particularly special, it not only keeps you warm when it's freezing but adds a pop of color and interest to your look!
