Summer Date Nights
With a few weeks of summer left, try pairing your white skinny's with two of my favorite color combinations - Aqua and Pink! The rose gold accessories and nude heels help keep the outfit sophisticated, yet simple and stylish! Pairing the belt will help to create the illusion of a slimmer waistline, but if you're not into belts, the outfit will look just as fabulous without it :-) 
Mad Men Mania
So, i'm a little late to the Mad Men trend, but with my usual shows on hiatus for the summer, I figured this show could help feed my Revenge cravings until it returns in September!
This outfit is inspired by Joan, who is played by Christina Hendricks, and Peggy, played by Elizabeth Moss. Joan is known for her hour glass figure and curve hugging outfits on Mad Men. Joan always look impeccable, from head to toe!
Peggy, on the other hand, finds that her choice in fashion is often questioned by her male AND female co-workers. She tends to downplay her figure by wearing frumpy dresses or even "dressing like a little girl" as Joan once snapped. Talk about cattiness and lack of girl power at Sterling Copper!
The blouse and skirt are both youthful and tasteful, but still mature enough to wear in an office environment. Coupled with the purse, shoes and jewelry, you can take this look from the office to after dinner drinks and dinner.

Equestrian Elegance
When I first saw these red pants, I knew EXACTLY what I could pair them with! As I mentioned in an earlier post, I've started watching Mad Men this summer, so this outfit is an inspiration from Betty Draper, played by January Jones. It's a modern and everyday look inspired by the equestrian attire that Betty wears so well during her riding lessons.
When wearing a statement piece (such as the red pants) it's important to keep the rest of your outfit as simple as possible. Muted colors such as black, white, tan and grey are perfect color options to wear with a statement piece. They'll still keep your outfit sharp, but at the same time, they won't be stealing the spotlight away from your statement piece ;-)

Fashion is Art
I like to think of fashion as art. Each piece is unique in it's own way and when pieced together, a masterpiece (YOU) is created!
Sometimes I stare at my closet in the morning while getting ready for work, completely at a loss for that day's outfit. My go to item is always something black (pants, skirt or dress) and then a pop of color. Black is always so easy to play up because it WILL go with anything you wear!
The inspiration for this outfit is simply an example of fashion as art. If you think of yourself as a blank canvas, you'll be able to let your mind run wild with inspiration. However, if you ever find that you're having a creative block, just stop by here for a little creative inspiration :-)
