Style Shortcuts

August 20th, 2012

J.Crew Hat, Eight Sixty Dress, Elizabeth and James SunglassesMadewell Belt, Steve Madden Wedges, Straw bag (similar here)

I love a good dress that more closely resembles a billowy top and a fitted skirt (one of my favorite combinations), which makes putting together an entire outfit a little easier. Sometimes fashion should allow you to take short cuts without sacrificing on style.

    Hi Emily, I love the idea of this look – but it would drive me crazy that the stripes didn’t match at the side seams.
