On the List:
As I gear up for Winter slightly cooler temperatures here in Miami, I find myself obsessing over all things leather.Although some would laugh at the thought of wearing leather in a tropical climate, I can assure you that I will be breaking out my leather (and fur) as soon as it drops below 70°.So I don’t look like a fool, I am trying to focus on pieces that don’t seem too “winterish,” ie. shorts and a tank top.I just ordered the shorts from ShopBop, I’ll let you know how they turn out.Once I get the tank and the shoes, I might try wearing all of these pieces together in one outfit.

After being in the professional
world for almost a year, I think that my style has noticeably matured. I’ve retired (most of) my college clubwear
(probably for the better), and I often find myself reaching for workish-type
clothes, even when I’m not going to work.
One good example of this is button down shirts-- like the striped, silky,
JCrew number I am wearing above. I’ve
been buying tons of button down shirts lately, and I have noticed that they are
so versatile. A cotton version can be
used on its own as a cover-up for the beach or paired with jeans for a casual
look that isn’t sloppy. A silk (or
polyester, which I actually sometimes prefer due to the wrinkle factor) can be
used for the office, or a night out on the town.
