Street Style: Mustard Yellow and Leather

This look was inspired by color and texture.  I really like mustard yellow for fall and a leather skirt is the perfect compliment for this color.

The shirt is from Free People, the skirt is from Nordstrom BP, the jacket is by Bar3, and the shoes are form Lord and Taylor and by Sam Edelman.  The sunnies are from Pacsun, the scarf is from Nordstrom and the earrings are from a local market in Shanghai.

What I love about this look is that is has edge.  Although the fit of the skirt is feminine, it doesn’t feel that way because of all the leather that it’s paired with.  The booties ground the look and keep it casual, which makes the look more approachable and easier to wear.

Street Style: Minimalist

This weekend I met up with a fellow blogger, Roses and Rose for a photo shoot in Boston.  We switched between photographing and posing and got some incredible shots!

The sweater is from Urban Outfitters, the pants and cocoon coat are from JCrew, and the ankle boots are from Lord and Taylor and by Sam Edelman.

The sunnies are from a local shop in Stone Harbor called Wayward Gardner, the earrings are from Bloomingdales and by AQUA, the scarf is (borrowed from my boyfriend) by Hugo Boss, my ring is by Bali Couture and my bag is from the LF in Wellesley.

It’s always fun to play with proportions when dressing.  For a comfortable look, I like to pair men’s sweaters with leggings or fitted denim and an ankle boot.  Although this sweater isn’t mens, it still has that oversized feel.  The blunt, boxy cut contrasts the tailored fit of the pants and balances them out.  To pull this look together, I opted for a cocoon coat to give a straight silhouette.
