Bell Sleeve Gingham Dress

DRESS | HAT | NECKLACE similar | SHOES similar

I love the idea of putting a sporty spin on a semi-dressy look. It makes casual outfits that more fun, and functional. This bell sleeve gingham dress is the perfect example.

Normally I would pair this dress with booties and a cute handbag, and be ready to roll. Today I’ve added an athleisure touch, with black sneakers and a leather ball cap. The bell sleeve dress takes on a whole new look this way.

Of course you can still style this dress with booties and tights to dress it up, but I think this look is a lot more fun, and I’m digging the street style vibes.

Menswear Inspired

TOP | JEANS | PUMPS

Today I’m borrowing style inspiration from the fellas. This menswear inspired look is fall-ready and totally cool. This season we’re seeing the return of the power suit, lots of wools, tweeds and masculine cuts. Fall style is looking more like stolen from your husband style if you ask me.

I honestly don’t mind the trend one bit. It’s comfortable, usually oversized, and deep in color. All of these factors play nicely with my current wardrobe, and tend to be what I gravitate towards naturally.

So guys, take a step back from your closets, and let us ladies do a little shopping. Fall has us totally, menswear inspired!

Beaded Sweatshirt

SWEATSHIRT | HAT similar | DENIM | PUMPS

I know I’ve said this a few times before, but this might be the best top EVER! It’s literally the cutest piece, so comfortable, and it’s only $14. Have you ever heard of such good news? Seriously, I don’t think you can beat this top. I may surprise myself with a new favorite this fall, but for now, this beaded sweatshirt takes the cake.

The bead detail adds a little flair to an otherwise basic sweatshirt. I also love the white contrast and detail at the hem of the sweatshirt. It dresses the piece up, allowing you to style it with jeans, slacks, or a skirt. If you ask me, embellishments are always a YES in the style game.

Destroyed Denim Jacket

JACKET | TEE | PANTS | SNEAKERS similar

A denim jacket is a true wardrobe staple. It’s a classic layering piece that’s affordable and offers a flattering fit. So why not have a few options hanging in your closet? A light wash jacket, a dark wash jacket, and a destructed style are hanging in my closet. This beaded, destroyed denim is literally giving me life on this manic Monday. It’s such a fun piece, it can dress up the most basic t-shirt, and completely elevate your look. You can pair this with just about anything in your wardrobe, and you’ll have a statement-making outfit. For just $32, you can own this piece, and make every manic Monday a whole lot better. Cheers to starting the week off on the right foot with the perfect jacket!
