Splurge or Save: Distressed Denim Skirt

I may be a little late to the game (blame it on SF's weather, and my inability to bare legs) but I've been obsessed with the destroyed denim skirt from ACNE. Above are two other options, one by Ksubi, and one by Zara. Would you invest in this trend?

Military Chic

Here is a look that I would absolutely love to own and wear! I love the Military inspired looks that came down the runway this past Fall Burberry show, and channeled that with this look. The vest style dress with oversized pockets is absolutely gorgeous, and I would pair a white button down to make it a little more crisp. Ankle strap heels continue the toughness of the look, while the red lip, and sparkly statement bangle feminize it. The bag is one I have been eyeing for months, and trusty Ray-Bans are my go to!

Summer to Fall Transition

Summer              |                 Fall

Now that Labor Day has come and gone, it really feels like Summer is over. School has started, work is picking up, and the city just lost it's ease. I thought it would be perfect to go over a Summer to Fall transitional outfit, because while it may still feel like Summer most everywhere, Fall is waiting right around the corner.

The denim dress is the perfect foundation for the transition, and while you can still pair it with flatform sandals, bold earrings, and a bright cross-body bag now, you can take those elements and make them Fall appropriate. Borrow the color of the earrings and bag, and transfer them to a light weight scarf, and work bag. Pair that with fall worthy boots and a leather jacket, and you are set!

Trend-Spotting: Fully Skirted

Another trend for Spring that I am absolutely loving is the full-skirted look. It's ultra-feminine and flirty, and yet can be dressed into many different looks. Since Spring is a season of color, and prints, don't be shy to try different takes on this piece. I'm especially loving the Proenza Schouler pleated skirt featured below. Though I cannot afford this lovely number, the black and white marbling, with the yellow color block is simply chic, and adorable.
