Miss Maxi

Summertime certainly calls for the maxi dress ... so why not one that is vintage, purple, and has a cowl neck?   And because my stellar stylist & I j'adore a good scarf, this dress called for one tied as a belt. After all, we've been known to re-think a scarf before.

Peplum Two Ways

I adore this silk peplum blouse I recently scored while digging through a clearance rack at the Anthropologie in the Meatpacking District. Because I can't get enough of it, leave it to my stylist to show me how to work it out two different ways to create two completely different looks: 

Option #1: silk peplum blouse (Anthropologie) over black knit jumpsuit (Anthropologie) with vintage belt / Earrings: Old Navy / Ring: Shanghai Ring by Trina Turk / Shoes: Lela Rose for Payless

Option #2: silk peplum blouse (Anthropologie) with black knit midi skirt (Joe Fresh) with vintage belt

Earrings: M Chandelier by Julie Collection / Bangles: two Marseille + Milano 6-Stone by Julie Collection / Shoes: Nine West (old)
