subtle floral


J. Crew top | Swank shorts (similar) | Nordstrom sunglasses (similar) | Kate Spade bag (similar) | Michael Kors watch |  Nordstrom orange bangle | Henri Bendel yellow bracelet | Tory Burch sandals (close-toed flats) | Max & Chloe necklace

Today's outfit subtly mixes floral on the lace shorts, gold bag, and bangle. With the similar tones of gold and orange, it all works and makes the different sized florals go together. I love my J. Crew peplum top because it really can pull any outfit together (it is also SO comfortable). And I was excited to add my new neon sailor knot bracelet from Bendels! I got the bracelet at the Bendels summer sale in New York a couple weeks ago. Even though it's both neon and nautical, I have a feeling this bracelet will carry through to fall.

More ways to wear it....
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has only a few days left, and there are some great floral pieces on sale to choose from. First, I adore this hot pink floral pencil skirt from Kate Spade. It's $198, a hundred dollars less than the original price, but still a little spendy (for me at least!)
Floral tights add coverage to basic dresses and skirts in the cooler seasons, but still make the outfit interesting. This pair comes in black and a reddish-purple. There is also plus size available as well.
I couldn't resist adding this pair of bright, floral jeans to the list. I know, I know, they're very summer-y (and Kate Spade, again), but...they're wearable into September and you can save them for spring? Think of it as a future investment in next year's spring break wardrobe! :)

Brands I Love: Nasty Gal [plus a shopping guide!]

One brand that has been on my radar for the past eight months or so is Nasty Gal. The online retail shop carries vintage pieces as well as clothing, shoes, and accessories from contemporary designers. The pieces are fun and definitely add flair to an outfit! I have a pair of floral shorts from Nasty Gal that I love. [See a post with these shorts here.]
According to the site's about page, founder Sophia Amoruso began a vintage eBay shop in 2006 called Nasty Gal Vintage. The shop was such a success that Amoruso started what we know now as NastyGal.com!

For even more Nasty Gal, check out the shopping guide I made below! These are a few of my favorite pieces that are currently up on the site. How awesome is that polka dot chambray button-up? So fun!

winter florals

Blazer: Nordstrom Tank: Madewell Shorts: Nasty Gal Boots: Corso Como Tights, bracelets: F21 Watch: Michael Kors Ring: Kate Spade

Floral shorts! Wearing shorts in the winter in a floral print make me feel a little rebellious. With just a couple of pieces to save your skin from the wind and cold, floral shorts can be incorporated into an appropriate winter outfit, and then flawlessly transition back into spring and summer.

Plus, these shorts have hidden pockets - who doesn't love those? It's a random but nice - and convenient - detail.

I think I'm going to take a nap now...I'm exhausted! I had a fantastic workout at the gym but I need to recuperate a little. Ah, I love the weekend.
