I love a monochromatic look where the hues match up perfectly (as evidenced most recently by the cobalt blue monochromatic look here). But when it comes to neutrals—especially ivories/whites, greys and nudes—to me, the ensemble is often more striking and dynamic when they’re all a little different.
And, let’s be real. Yeezy and I share the same sartorial soul, so a melange of nudes is just what. we. do. Also, I know what you’re wondering and the answer is yes. I’ll be his veep when he runs for president in 2020. We’ll be re-painting the white house taupe.
Happy Tuesday!

Graphic Trumpet Skirt
SKIRT: TY-LR (also HERE, and obsessed with the coral version HERE! Update: Whew! Just found it on sale HERE in red and HERE in olive too! So many optionsss.) | SHIRT: Brooks Brothers | COAT: Andrew Marc | SHOES: Jimmy Choo (similar HERE) | BAG: Dolce&Gabbana (similar HERE) | EARRINGS: Kate Spade New York | LIP: Buxom (Brooklyn)
Happy Presidents Day! Today I’m sharing another pre-flu look from early last week when I was still good at things like standing upright and moving my limbs and stuff. It was an exciting time in my life.
As a dyed-in-the-wool midi skirt lover, I find the fit and flare silhouette of this trumpet skirt a refreshing switch-up from the typical a-line silhouette of most skirts this length. And, although the graphic navy and white grid print works well in a professional setting as styled today, I think the skirt would be dynamite paired with a tank or crop top (obsessed with this one, this one and this one—all at super good price points) for a more festive occasion. I should also note that as far as knit skirts go, this one has a thickness and structure that make it both incredibly flattering and amazingly comfortable. All around, I’d say this skirt is another huge win for TY-LR which might officially be my new favorite brand (remember the blouse in this post?! SO good).
My hopes for a quick recovery so that I could fly out for at least the second half of fashion week are pretty much gone since the flu still has me in its clutches. But, the good news is that I can still stalk all of my favorite shows on Vogue from the comfort of my ritz cracker crumb-laden bed. The collections this season look incredible, so if you’ve got a case of the why-the-hell-do-I-not-have-president’s-day-off blues, I encourage you to check ’em out for a little sartorial boost.
Oh, and one last thing! Presidents Day SALES y’all. I’m scouring this one, this one and this one. Happy shopping and Happy Monday everyone!

Lace Mock Neck Top + Flare Leg Jeans
LACE TOP: Plenty by Tracy Reese | JEANS: Frame | COAT: White House Black Market | BOOTS: Steve Madden (similar HERE, HERE and HERE) | BAG: Kate Spade New York (sold out, similar HERE, HERE and HERE) | EARRINGS: old but similar HERE | SUNGLASSES: Ray-Ban
Once again tapping into the 70s style renaissance with one of my favorite denim brands today. If you’re thinking of snatching up a pair of flares, Frame Denim is an awesome way to go. The fit is fantastic and they might just be the most comfortable pair I own.
While the overall feel of the ensemble is unmistakably 70s retro, I like the subtle nod to the victorian trend with the mock neck lace top. If you work in a creative or casual environment where this type of casual ensemble would fly, the high neck lace top with beautiful back button detailing is a great, conservative way to introduce the otherwise tricky lace trend into your work style. Just make sure you wear a white or nude camisole under this puppy… because HR. That could get dicey. For those of you who can’t get away with something quite this casual, I think the top would tuck nicely into a pencil skirt (love this one) as well. We got lots o’ options with this baby.
Thanks for all of your well wishes yesterday. Unfortunately the flu still has me down for the count, missing the first few days of fashion week. I’m waiting for my body to just be like Psych! JK! You’re all better now so go hop on a plane to NYC! Stay tuned.
Happy Friday everyone!
