office outfit – The Sol Compass

Pumped for Fall

These Adam Lippes for Target pumps are closely edging in on my Prabal Gurung for Target heels for favorite pair in my closet. The silhouette is perfect, the pattern is fun, they’re comfortable, and they’re only $40- what more could you want in a pair of heels?!

Two stores I frequently visit for office-appropriate clothing are The Limited and Banana Republic– The Limited for their timeless pieces that will go with any and everything for years to come (like this blouse), and Banana Republic for their chic, office-appropriate interpretations of seasonal trends (like this faux leather pleated skirt).

Thanks for much for reading! Have a great weekend!

Day to Night Dress Series: Fun and Flirty Edition

Last week was absolutely crazy for me, but I’m happy to be back at it this Monday morning with a new Day to Night Dress episode. This fun fit & flare is from GAP, and just one of their many dresses that I absolutely adore. Every year when spring rolls around I always check out the selection of dresses at GAP. With their fun colors and flattering silhouettes; they make up some of my favorite wardrobe staples.

Since I don’t have to follow a strict dress code during the day, I love adding bright and bold turquoise accessories to contrast with the fiery red dress. For those of you that may need a bit more professional look, a blazer and some closed toe heels would be a great conservative touch.

Outfit Details – Dress: GAP (sold out online, similar here, here, and here) | Necklace: Francesca’s (old, similar here and here) | Bracelet: Lucky Brand (old, similar here and here) | Ring: Lucky Brand (old, similar here) | Earrings: Nordstrom | Bag: Vera Bradley | Heels: Christian Siriano for Payless (for more turquoise shoes, check out these: pumps, gladiators, oxfords, wedges, lace-up heels, satin heeled sandals) | Lipgloss: Bobbi Brown ‘Petal’ | Nail Polish: Essie ‘Buy Me A Cameo

This dress also makes for a really fun going out outfit. I added my new Bauble Bar bib and the necessary crossbody bag for a fun night out at Lolita Cocina– a must visit for anyone planning on visiting Boston this summer!

Thanks so much for reading! I hope your week kicks off to a great start this Monday!

The New Neutral

As I mentioned in Tuesday’s post, I’m totally obsessing over pink this spring. Some of my favorite pink finds this spring have been these shoes and this bag, because of their soft and versatile blush tone. Blush is the perfect new neutral, because it goes with absolutely everything. It can tone an outfit down or add a feminine touch of color like it does here.

Thanks for reading!

Lavender Lace

If you follow me on Instagram, you may recognize this outfit as my Easter Sunday ensemble. Wearing a skirt was actually a tad ambitious, and I only wore it for church and pictures before changing into some more weather-appropriate pants! The purple was on par for Easter festivities, but it’s also a color I will gladly wear all spring and summer once the weather warms up here. I love wearing white tops with colored skirts so that I can add even more color into the look with accessories, like I did here!
