Happy Monday! Now what is a Fall wardrobe without including a great black leather skirt. This black leather skirt is from Alice and Olivia and I am obsessed with it! I bought this skirt 3 years ago during summer right before I moved to New York. My mother always says with certain staple items in your wardrobe they are your investment pieces. She says this because these are the pieces that never go out of style and you will wear from season to season to season. When it comes to looking for a great leather skirt find one that is a solid color, but also one that isn’t necessarily a straight cut. This skirt has pleats in it and also it cinches at the waist. Unlike other leather skirts that I have tried on in the past this skirt gives me more of an hourglass shape, but also with the pleats it makes the skirt look fuller than it actually is. Someone one time even asked me when I wore it out if I had something under the skirt to make it look fuller than it actually was.  If you are unsure if you would wear a leather skirt every winter then this season buy a faux leather one and test it out. See how often you wear it during the season and if you find yourself wearing more than 5 times before spring then you should purchase the real deal come spring. Like I previously said I purchased this skirt during the summer before I moved to New York because it was on sale. These pieces are honestly the best to buy during the off season because they get heavily reduced, but if you want one right now just remember that Thanksgiving is just around the corner!! Crazy! Hope everyone has a great Monday.

Happy Sunday Everyone! We are now gearing towards fall weddings, but one of the hardest things that I have found for me to shop for is that cocktail wedding. The reason I feel it is difficult for me is because it isn’t always the case now that everyone is required to wear short dresses to a cocktail wedding. I have also always been under the impression that if there is any hint of white in your dress that you can not wear it to a wedding, but that isn’t necessarily true. This beautiful white with black lace detailing Alice and Olivia dress if perfect for any cocktail wedding and is also appropriate to wear even though it technically is a white dress. I wore this dress to a wedding a year ago in California and it was absolutely perfect! I also plan on wearing it to an upcoming wedding this February in Arizona :-). Some people may think that this dress is only good for a summer wedding, but I disagree. I think that there is a common misconception for what to wear to summer and winter weddings. Yes, the light hues / colors are more for summer / spring weddings and the darker colors are for winter / fall, but a dress like this that is white and black together I think works for all year round. When purchasing a dress that has mostly white in it like this one, make sure that there is a pattern that is incorporated into it that isn’t white or nude. The last thing you want is to purchase a white dress with nude / beige pattern in it and then when you take pictures it looks like you are wearing a white dress. That happened to a friend of mine’s sister. She was a bridesmaid and the bride picked out dresses that are beautiful in person and are a nude color with beading, but when everyone was looking at pictures online the next day that they all took because of the lighting and flashes they all looked like they were wearing white dresses. The bride thankfully didn’t care or mind, but if you are one of those people that would have cared, make sure to take some pictures with a flash to make sure that this doesn’t happen to you. For some amazing cocktail dresses for this wedding season check out the beautiful Alice and Olivia dresses online.
