STAPLES YOU'LL LOVE FOREVER

As a blogger, I spend a decent amount of time trying on new trends and testing out new ways to wear things. However, I think it's the classics that are really worth investing in. From timeless trench coats to accessories I'll always adore, I look to staple pieces to make up most of my wardrobe. You know what I'm talking about. It's the styles that you'll love for years—if not decades. One of my go-to classic brands is REPEAT Cashmere. Like this button-down I'm wearing here, all of their pieces are both versatile and high-quality.

Today I paired their top with ripped skinnies, spring booties, and a trendier belt bag for a look that's great for the office. However, it also works well layered over a tank, tucked into a mini skirt, or even as a beach coverup!

Today I'm slipping from weekend-to-work mode with my new button-up skirt.

Remember this piece from Friday's post? Perfectly casual when paired with an airy blouse and denim jacket, it feels oh so polished today. I chose to team it with a statement necklace from Rocksbox and collared jersey tank. The neutral shades blend well, keeping my look office-ready and simplistic. So it's official, I'm in love with this skirt and I'll be living in it this season.

Labor Day Weekend.

While I don’t necessarily love the idea that Labor Day signifies the end of summer (I go into great detail about it in this post from last year), I cannot deny that the gorgeous weather and long-weekend festivities that usually coincide with this holiday are pretty great. Instead of heading out of town like the rest of the city, I am soaking up the HOT California sun and enjoying what this place has to offer. Catching up with friends, stopping by the beach, browsing around the local farmers markets and reading poolside are pretty high up on my to-do list this weekend. And hey! I may even try to catch up on some work.

I am such a big fan of this trapeze denim dress from TOPSHOP. It is such a fun style and serves as a wonderful canvas for accessorizing. I chose to dress it down today for some ocean side weekend activities with my Sperry seacoast canvas sneakers, beachy blue beaded necklaces from Old Navy, and a sun-shielding fedora from ASOS. This dress has infinite options for accessorizing. Dress it up with some booties and slicked back hair, or keep it Boho with a headband and some Birkenstocks. Whatever you choose, make it your own! That is what I love about dresses like this one, they give you the option to accessorize in so many different ways, which truly individualize the outfit!
