The Right... Weekend Exploring Look

I'm really excited to share my first outfit from our trip to Lexington!  I'm working on a full recap post (including our amazing Bourbon Trail adventures and alllll the great food we ate) but first up is what I wore for a morning of exploring the city.  I had an 11 mile run scheduled that weekend so while I did my grand tour around UK (literally loops and loops around the UK campus and the arboretum) Jackie, Jen and James found a new coffee shop and took blog pics near the super cute Gratz Park area.  And since they're such good friends, they took me back so I could snap my outfit before brunch (I was also secretly letting them scope it out first ;) ).  Gratz Park is a cute little area of town which reminded us a lot of Washington Square Park with the old architecture.

I decided to rock my sneakers that morning because #LongTrainingRun and I have to admit, this outfit has me really excited to wear them more this fall.  Since I wear heels so much more during the week at work, I need to save my feet every chance I get (especially after pounding out double digit runs!).

The Right... Leopard Dress Remix

Happy Friday!  We made it!  Everything seemed to calm down from fashion week but pick right back up at the career job - funny how that works right?  I'm headed to Chicago today for a short weekend getaway with one of my besties - follow along on my instagram and twitter for all the action.  And if you haven't followed along yet, I'm taking over the Laqa & Co instagram until Sunday - head over there for more of my adventures!



Anyway, onto the good stuff.  When I bought this Ann Taylor dress I knew it'd quickly become a staple in my wardrobe so I decided to challenge myself to style it beyond just one outfit post (and let's be serious.. when these outfit photos were taken it was about a thousand degrees and humid beyond all belief so I wanted to do some transitional styling).

The Right... Summer Work Look

Now that I'm thinking about it, this should have been my go-to outfit for August - a pencil skirt and strappy pumps.  I think there's something great about this combo that makes enough of a statement while still appearing effortless.

The Right... Go-To August Outfit

I'm super excited to join Jackie and Taylor in their monthly go-to posts!  I'm really looking forward to seeing what I have on repeat each month and sharing it with you.  







I snatched up this lace tank during one of the J. Crew sales earlier this summer and I have worn it nonstop since after the Fourth of July.  It's just SO good and goes with everything.  It's easy to dress up for the office or dress it down for a weekend in the 'burbs (as seen here).

Jacket: Kohl's, Tank: J. Crew (similar here), Shorts: Joe Fresh (similar here), Scarf: Ann Taylor (similar here), Shoes: Joe Fresh (similar here), Bag: Old Navy (similar here), Sunnies: Tory Burch

The Right... Leopard Pencil Skirt: Work Edition

  

 
I've been on the hunt for the right leopard pencil skirt for quite some time now.  Leopard is really one of those touchy prints that can either be really great or really bad (and I'm definitely one to get SUPER picky when it comes to prints so you can imagine how much more difficult tracking down the right one was for me).  Leave it to Club Monaco to have the perfect print that is great for summer and will go great with darker colors come winter!  Oh and right now it's an extra 50% off - what are you waiting for?

The Right... July 4th Look - City BBQ

Happy Monday friends!  I'm super excited about this week because I have a two day week and then I'm jetting off to my hometown for some family time, lake time, friend time and rodeo fun!  Stay tuned to instagram to follow along all the fun!

Then it's back for a day and then upstate to a lake house with some friends for the Fourth of July.  I have yet to spend a Fourth of July in the city and I can't say I'm too upset about it.  If I were staying in the city though, I'd imagine there would be some BBQ action followed by the fireworks.  Here's a little outfit inspo if that's what your Fourth of July looks like!  I'm keeping it fairly simple with a striped shirt, some great wedges and a flippy skirt (all in the red/white/blue theme of course).  Stay tuned for my lake outfit coming next week.  

 

Top: Joe Fresh, Skirt: J. Crew (on sale!), Wedges: c/o Trask (similar here and here), Bag: vintage Dooney & Bourke (newer version here)

The Right... Ball Game Outfit

 

One of the things I love about summer are baseball games.  There's nothing quite like spending the afternoon outside at a ball game drinking a beer.  And in my opinion baseball is always better in person :).  My first Yankees game of the season was a couple of weekends ago and I opted for a blue/white outfit instead of a team tee.  Sometimes team tees are the easy way out but IMO team colors are more fun to play with (especially when you throw in a  pair of lace shorts - pretty much my weakness in the summer time).  What are you wearing to your favorite team game this summer?

The Right... Printed Pants

 

Sorry for being so MIA lately guys!  Work's been a little busy and sometimes you just have to take a step back and live life a little ya know?  It gets exhausting schlepping outfits all over the place weekend after weekend for photo shoots too!

I digress.  I've been all about the printed pj-ish pants lately and when I spotted these at Joe Fresh I knew I had to have them.  I loved the little pop of red (and it just so happened to color coordinate with the tulips at Bryant Park!).
