Top 5 Favorites – February 2020

Your Top 5 Favorites from February were all about matching sets.
Knit Skirt Set

I did an Instagram Story wearing this knit skirt & sweater set and got so many responses.  You loved how sophisticated it looks, and bonus points because it’s super comfortable too.  This is a core set that Tibi releases season after season, so you can always find past colors on sale.

Bermuda Shorts Suit

This Bermuda shorts suit first made an appearance in What I’m Coveting.  I also shot it as one of my NYFW FW20 looks.  Another sophisticated piece, I love its fun vibe.  Plus, it’s the perfect set to pair with amazing footwear.

Which brings me to… boots!

Snakeskin Boots

I shared two pairs of snakeskin boots in February and you loved them both.  One is a statement, designer pair and the other is a more practical, affordable pair.

Vintage Band Tee

Vintage band tees are a wardrobe staple in my book and you loved this one.  Shopbop is having a spring sale and tons of these band tees made the list.  Here are my sales favorites.

Little Black (or White) Dress

Finally, if you’re looking for the perfect summer dress, look no further than this one.  It comes in black and white, runs TTS and is SUPER flattering.  While it is short, the mini length means every kind of shoe will look great with this dress.  Try it with flat sandals for a beach day or statement block heels for a night on the town.

Bonus points: it’s on sale at this retailer.

NYFW FW20 Day 2 OOTD

My look for Day 2 of NYFW FW20 was all about a trend I’ve been coveting.

The Bermuda shorts suit isn’t new – it first became popular a couple seasons ago – but I’m finally at a point where I know how to style it to make it work for me.

Enter statement boots.  When this trend debuted everyone was pairing it with Dad sneakers.  I just couldn’t get on board.  While I love the menswear vibe and 80’s inspired look of Bermuda shorts, they need a chic touch.  For me, that’s footwear that turns heads.  Something with a heel.  Something tall.  Something bold.

I scored these boots on sale after coveting them for months.  There are still a few sizes left, but there’s another affordable option here (30% off and also come in black).

Worn with my vintage leather trench (yay for sustainability!) and one of my favorite handbags, the look is super polished but also means business.

During NYFW I talked about how I couldn’t believe so many people were wearing shorts.  While I had a back-up plan for this look (pleated trousers), all of my NYC friends said the weather was actually quite mild.  So this look would have worked perfectly.
