Window Shopping Wednesday: Fall Peep Toe Booties

I have a confession: today's post started out as a "fall lust list" but quickly morphed into a round up of all my favorite peep toe booties when I couldn't decide on just one bootie to feature in said "lust list."  #sorrynotsorry

So when I quickly tumbled down the rabbit hole at two of my favorite shoe retailers (DSW and Nordstrom)  I decided to share the results with you.  I think there's a little something for everyone in this post: fringe, suede, perforated leather, sleek leather, buckles, zippers...  Literally something for everyone.

And the most important question: which pair is your favorite?!

Window Shopping Wednesday: Nude Pumps

Happy Wednesday everyone!  Today I'm talking about another wardrobe essential: nude pumps.  I think this is the biggest roundup I've ever done because I couldn't.stop.loving.these.pumps!  So many good ones out there right now! 

The best part of nude pumps is that they elongate the legs and go with everything.  I especially love the look of the pointed-toe pumps but I know those aren't for everyone.  Come back Friday to see how I styled my pair!

Which are your favorites?!

Monochromatic Peplum

So I finally joined the year 2012 and bought a peplum top.  Now, before you jump to conclusions, hear me out.  I have that white/black floral peplum top but it was from a couple of years ago and I've just kind of made it work with this year's peplum trend.  I found this beauty during the Zara sale and I love how it can be nice for evening or paired with jeans for a more casual look.  I've had this skirt for at least two months now and couldn't ever figure out what to wear it with until, bam!  This peplum top came along.  It's a little crazy and bright but it worked and I loved it.

Oh, p.s. - this skirt has pockets.  Win!

"A Day In My Life" Guest Post!

Hi there! My name is Sara and I currently blog for A Day in my Life. 

A little background on me: Tracy and I went to college together in Reno and recently reconnected through the blogging world. After college, I moved to Washington, DC and started my new life here in the city. I started off working on Capitol Hill and recently took a position working in social media for a non-profit. Prior to this position, I worked as an editor in downtown DC. As an editor, we didn't do much writing so I thought starting a blog may be a fun way to incorporate writing into my life.

A few weeks ago, I was asked to write for DC Life Magazine covering fashion in the area. I just had my first article published and am working on a few more. I also am a stylist for Stella and Dot so you may notice a lot of the jewelry in my photos. If you are interested in purchasing, becoming a stylist or would like to host a trunk show (like Tracy did!) please feel free to reach out to me.

Hope you enjoy!

TGIF/Casual Friday to Biz. Networking

This is going to be a little quick - I'm very sleepy as I write this.

I hope you all had a great week!  These lovelies spent the week on my desk greeting me every morning:

And I'd like to share a quick "Casual Friday" to "Casual Friday needs to Business Network" look with you.  Let me warn you, the fuscia skirt strikes again...

Shirt: J.Crew (similar here), Skirt: Halogen, Sandals: Target, Watch: Fossil

This outfit is great for casual Friday because you have the business-y pencil skirt with the relaxed but structured chambray top paired with an easy sandal.  Well this is great if I'm just at the office all day and then having drinks with friends after work.  However...  If I have to go to a business networking event after work (which I just so happen to be doing after work today), I would switch out the chambray top with a sheer top and throw on some heels.

Jessica Simpson pumps

Ta-da!  Quick switches to take you from point A to point B effortlessly!

Happy weekend everyone!  Hope it's a great one!

#StyleMeMay 2 for 1

Can you believe today is the last day of May?  I'm having a hard time with it!  Not sure why - I guess it just seems like it was yesterday I was in NYC at Fashion Week and then starting #StyleMeMarch.  I want to take a minute and thank everyone that reads this little guy.  It means the world to me - that I can share my passion with you all. 

For today's post I have a little story.  I actually wore this yesterday for #StyleMeMay: Fancy.  It's been quite a while since I've worn this sequin top because it feels very fall/winter to me and with no luck of finding a summer sequin top I decided I had to find a way to make it work and not feel like December.  Enter my new fuscia skirt (thank you Nordstrom semi-annual sale!) and voila!  We are getting there.  Then I realized I had my gingham shirt hanging at the front of my closet and thought, "well, maybe we can treat this sequin top like a sweater and layer it..."  And here is the final product.  It amazes me that some mornings I'll put on very normal things and will think I look weird but in the case I put on this completely off the wall look (or maybe it's not?) and became absolutely obsessed with it. 

And why is the title of this post "#StyleMeMay 2 for 1"?  Well, today's #StyleMeMay just so happens to be "never paired together."  Because I haven't ever paired together a sequin top, gingham button up and fuscia skirt (or at least not since I can remember, but there were those dress up days as a little girl...).

Sequin Shirt: J.Crew (similar here), Gingham Shirt: J.Crew (similar here), Skirt: Halogen, Shoes: Jessica Simpson, Bracelets: Bauble Bar and Juicy Couture

Btw, I was really disappointed by the lack of comments I received today - not because I was fishing for them but because I thought this was a little outrageous and I figured everyone at my office would have a field day with it.  Not the case however...

One Vest, Two Ways

I wore the first outfit yesterday for #StyleMeMay "shows off your gams" and the other a couple weeks ago.  Apparently I like keeping it neutral when I wear this vest....  Might have to change that!

Large Striped Skirts and Bows

I know you were probably expecting a TGIF/Week in Review post here but I'm still on vacay so I decided to mix things up a little.  I fly back home tomorrow so I'm just trying to soak in the rest of my trip.  I'll have an update for you [hopefully] on Monday!

Jacket: Target, Blouse: Daisy Fuentes for Kohl's, Skirt: Forever 21, Heels: Jessica Simpson



 I am slightly obsessed with this skirt.  I love the wide stripe and it's sooo comfy!  I pulled these pictures out of the archives (as you can see with the tights), but I hope you enjoy!
