Sloan Sandal.

Obsessing over these Circus by Sam Edelman Sloan sandals: not only do I love their sportiness, and contrasting white, lug sole, they are extremely comfortable. They come in a handful of colors, but you can find them here on Piperlime in two colors for under $20, Happy Shopping!

I love throwing on a blazer, or structured jacket with a casual look. Most people think of jackets and blazers as stuffy and uncomfortable, too formal, or too businesslike so they disregard them for every day dressing. Finding a versatile piece like this H&M jacket, that is lightweight with mild stretch and is comfortable for layering is a great addition to your wardrobe! Something so simple can take your look to a whole other level of sophistication, you look totally polished, but you're completely confident and comfortable. Trust me, this isn't hard, and it's a fast way to top of any look whether its jeans and a top like here, or throwing it on over a casual sundress.

Lessons in Metallics.

This season brightly colored baubles and gemstone statement pieces have lost their sparkle making way for a heavy flow of mixed metals. Jewelry is all about silver and especially gold and you can't go wrong if you're mixing the two. Not only in accessorizing; metallics are becoming a staple to everyday dressing. If you're afraid of attracting attention from outerspace start out by trying something simple like a pair of silver stilettos.

Walking Tall.

I honestly don't have too much to say about this look, other than after wearing this flower cuff, I wish I wore it more often. It's fun and girly, but because of it's structure also makes me feel powerful and strong. I will say this though, this past week Southern California has been undergoing a heat wave, not to mention earthquakes, and after going home for lunch midday, I realized it was too hot and too much effort to wear platform heels all day. If I still lived in Ohio, I don't think I would wear heels hardly at all over the summer, too much work.

Shout for Chambray.

I'm mainly just SUPER excited about this chambray shirt! I found this insanely comfortable Marc by Marc Jacobs button down on the sale rack at Loehmann's, and couldn't pass it up. Using the additional percent off purple tags, plus my additional 20% off the total purchase, I got this $198 top for a mere $41. That is beyond a score! This is already my third time wearing it in the past week, I love a good button down, so you'll definitely be seeing it a lot more! The rest of the look is pretty simple, a styling technique I use often, taking a more masculine look (oversized denim; and a oxford) and making it feminine with dainty stilettos and a statement accessory. Perfect for heading back to work after a week off.
