Safari Chic

I think there's something inherently sexy about a woman in safari gear-- neutral tones, camouflage, the bare essentials. To me, it evokes a sense of exploration and adventure.

Here's what I'm talking about...

J. Crew

Michael Kors

If I could walk around in the hat from the first photo all day/everyday, or even the Michael Kors bathing suit & belt combo, I sure as hell would! (Not sure that would fly at work, though!)

Have you rocked the safari chic look yet this summer season? I'd love to see how you styled yourself!

Keeping it Simple: A Day-to-Night Casual Look

I recognize that the majority of my outfits are geared toward a corporate work environment, and that not everyone can relate to that on a day-to-day-basis. So.. today's look is a more casual outfit :)

This outfit it great for a busy day, because it transitions perfectly from the office/running errands---> dinner and happy hour. Wear a leather jacket/blazer with flats during the day, and change to heels/lose the jacket for a night out! Incorporate your favorite denim and remember to just keep it simple with accessories (especially if you're blinging it out on your shirt).

Quick Tip: Don't be afraid to wear a little bit of sparkle to work or while you run errands during the day. There's no need to reserve all your glitter for a night out! If you work in a more business-casual setting, keep it appropriate by laying a suit jacket or boyfriend-style blazer on top.

Make it your own:

Top: Charlotte Russe (This store has the best affordable funky tops!)

Jeans: Matchstick, J. Crew

Flats: Steve Madden

Weekend Style Mid-Week: Denim & Leather

So you guys know by now that I work in a office environment, which influences how I dress myself each morning. I love being corporate Barbie on a daily basis!

However, not all of you work in offices and can be a bit more casual during the week. Hopefully, this post speaks to you!

I was inspired by a couple different outfits I saw pairing leather jackets with straight or skinny dark denims.

Here's my modification of the denim & leather look. It's a casual interpretation complete with skinny dark jeans, a loose embellished black top, and a black leather jacket. [[I also curled my hair for fun, inspired by the last pair of images above!]]

With the jacket...

And without the jacket :)

So throw on your leather jacket and dark denims, and rock it out this week!
