patterns – The Sol Compass

Welcome back, loves! I hope you all had a great weekend. I’m so excited that the weather is finally consistently warm out that I’ve been celebrating the only way I know how – shopping for new clothes to wear on patios and rooftops, clearly.

This beautiful Banana Republic skirt instantly caught my eye. I love the length, the pleats, the pattern, and the colors. I chose to pair it first with a lace top, to add some nice textures to mix up my look. To make it more work appropriate, just add a pair of closed toe heels and a navy blazer!

Thank you so much for reading. Have a wonderful week!

Despite being fashion’s favorite season, and indisputably the prettiest, fall always gives me a small case of the blues. While I love fall as much as the next person, it’s always sad to say goodbye to summer adventures, wearing skirts and dresses; especially knowing that the dreadful cold and snow of winter is just around the corner. One of my favorite coping methods last week was taking one of my favorite summer items (a skirt) and pairing it with my must have winter items (a sweater) to make a perfect fall ensemble.
