Day to Night: Part III and IV

Finally part 3 and 4 of my day to night series! Find one and two here.

My gorgeous girl, Jessica, volunteered to model, and let me dig into her closet for this one, so thanks Jessica!

Jessica has this great vintage Missoni sweater dress that she recently picked up at a local thrift store, and I thought it perfect to build a day and night look around.

The dress has some great colors that I wanted to work with, so for day I threw my Madewell cardigan on her. I cinched the waist with my vintage belt, to keep her figure visible, and also let her use my vintage bag. She wore her great leather sandals, and that was the perfect finishing touch for an outfit that's great to run errands in, get brunch, or picnic in.

For night, I thought it would be nice to toughen the dress up a bit. It has such a bold print, that only a bold nighttime look felt appropriate. Jessica has this great leather jacket from Forever 21 that I threw on her as the main contributing piece. I kept my belt from earlier on her, to serve the same purpose of highlighting her figure. I gave her my nude Zara pumps to wear, to tone down the bottom half of the outfit, to make sure the print and dress gets highlighted.

What do you all think of Jessica's looks?!

Trend-spotting: Bra Top

I feel as though, if done right, bra tops/cropped tops can be a very chic look for Spring. They were seen all over the runway, and I fell in love. I'm currently on the hunt for the perfect one I know I could pull off, and pair with my closet flawlessly. Instead of baring your mid-riff with this top, a la Carrie Bradshaw, show a hint of skin by pairing it with tailored high-waisted trousers or shorts. They also look fantastic with full, high-waisted a-line skirts, like above, or a tight, high-waisted pencil skirt. To add even more structure to the look, throw on a blazer. Below I have a few top options, paired with crisp shorts, and a tuxedo style blazer. Will you try this daring look?
