Colorful Mondays

Today, I wore one of my favorite colors - cobalt blue.

I realized that I unconsciously choose bright colors to wear on Mondays more often than not, such as in these recent Monday work looks.

Happy Monday

Beads and Citrine

Red Pants, White Jacket

Prabal Gurung Neon Brights

I am NOT a morning person...EVER.  Daylight Savings Time threw me off even more today, so I wanted to wear an easy outfit and a favorite color.   

Bold colors are happy and project a message of confidence.  They're perfect for surviving those manic Mondays.

A simple outfit like this calls for bold accessories.

I recently got this beaded chainlink necklace, which I love.  It's super long and can be worn doubled or even tripled.  If you're interested in purchasing it, be forewarned -- it is a little heavy and the beads get a little scratchy throughout the day.  It won't stop me from wearing it, but it may be a dealbreaker for some.

Cashmere Cozy

Happy Sunday everyone!

Today, I paired my black skinny pants with a purple cotton/cashmere blend sweater for a comfortable and cozy outfit.  I like that the outfit is basic but refined.

Clutch:  Jason Wu for Target

The fit of this sweater is loose without being too baggy and a little longer than other similar sweaters, making it an ideal pairing for dress pants, jeans, leggings, skirts, and more.

V-necks are super flattering for most everybody.  They help elongate the neck and are great for women with larger busts and/or rounder faces.

I added burgundy pumps and green accessories for a few pops of fall color.

Heels:  Target (Available here)
Necklace:  Forever 21

Hope you all had a great weekend!!

Maxi-mize your weekend

During summer weekends, I live in maxi dresses.  They're breezy, easy, and fun.  Easy to pair with flats, maxi dresses are chic and comfortable. 

To me, maxis are perfect for running errands, brunch, shopping, or just hanging out!

Do you have a favorite summer weekend look?
