My Favorite Pleated Skirts of the Season

I love the pleated skirt trend, and plan on rocking these all Winter with chunky heel booties (once it gets cold enough here in Vegas). The midi length is my favorite because it can be worn so many ways for all types of occasions. Below I've picked out my favorite pleated midi skirts for the season.

SOME OF MY FAVORITE PLEATED SKIRTS OF THE SEASON

LEATHER NY&C PLEATED MIDI

Leather is of course a staple for Winter, so you can't go wrong with a pleated leather midi and some gorgeous booties to stay on trend. 

JERSEY TOPSHOP PLEATED MIDI

Even the lightest fabrics (like Jersey) can be layered with a chunky cardigan and OTK boots to keep you nice and warm. Living in the desert, we're not used to the Winter you east coast fashionistas are, so having light fabrics like this are great for layering in Fall and Winter and wearing solo in Spring and Summer.

TOPSHOP VELOUR PLEATED MIDI

In the past, I haven't been a huge supporter of wearing velour and velvet . Turns out, Winter 2016 clothing lines are full of both and I'm shocked to say, I couldn't be more impressed. Today there are pumps and skirts and jackets in every color of velour and velvet you can think of. . . This pink velour midi skirt for example is gorgeous. I may start with purchasing some velvet booties, baby steps (haha).

The Softest Grey Jumper

The Vegas pool days of Summer 2016 are dwindling. The wind is blowing everything that isn't stuck in the ground into our pool and while the 80 and 90 degrees are still happening here and there, the pool water is barely warm enough to get two feet in :( With that being said, we desert girls are finally ready for REAL transition outfits. I found the softest jumper for fall at my favorite Salt Lake City boutique, Flight. I see furry boots and a leather jacket with this jumper in my future. . . But for now, I'm wearing it solo along side my favorite booties.

Blush Tunic

We've had some crazy wind in Vegas the past couple weeks, which only shows off flowy pieces like this Free People Tunic even more. It comes in two gorgeous colors, blush/mink and a smokey purple/wine shade. I was so excited to put this on, I forgot to tuck in my hanger string (whoops). Lately I've been loving to wear this tunic with leggings or wide leg culottes. The materials is super light weight, the design is very flowing, a.k.a. super flattering and can be worn casual or dressed up. I will be using this to layer my sweaters this winter :)

As always, thanks for stopping by! - Crystal Marie

Emerald Floral Midi Dress

I'm jumping on the floral dress train and I don't want to get off.

Who doesn't want a floral dress sitting in their closet this fall. With this dress, I found I've been able to wear it to work, to a wedding rehearsal and for date night. I love the length of midi dresses. And because they are so versatile, it makes me want to keep styles like this in my closet that much longer. 

Thank you for stopping by. Have a great week!  - Crystal Marie

Fall Floral Dress for Work & Date Night

Does this black floral crepe dress just radiate "FALL" or what? 

The pattern is what caught my eye, but it's the leather trim detail around the neckline and sleeves that I'm obsessed with. Girly and edgy all at the same time :) 

This dress will be in your closet for a couple seasons. It's light enough to wear during the trailing off scorching summer days we're having in Vegas right now, but heavy enough that it'll be on my "Wear in Winter" list (with tights or leggins of course). I wore this to work and then out to dinner with my husband and it felt perfect for both.

You can pick up these shoes up at Target. They are by far my most comfortable pair of heel booties. 

As always, thanks for stopping by my page! Have a great weekend.

It's FALL - Transition Pieces

Happy Fall everyone! And Happy Friday! Vegas has been in the 70's the past couple of days, so it's been pretty hilarious to see everyone with their sweaters and jackets. I may or may not have been one of those people....

I've always been sad to see Summer go, but this year I'm a little more prepared with some style essentials so I don't freeze my buns off at the office (holy a/c BRrrr) or out to lunch and dinner. 

This Free People 'Love" Split Pullover is my new favorite top. It has an adjustable cowl neck, a gorgeous knit split back and best of all it's super lightweight, so I've been able to wear this day or night the past couple weeks. Oh, and it's super super soft which I love.  

Maybe I've been living under a rock, but besides underwear I've seen in actual Free People stores, I had no idea they had an intimate line. This swingy lace tank from their intimate collection is super delicate and feminine with tiny polka dots and lace throughout. I love wearing it under my Free People Pullover, but on warmer days I wear it along and have received so many compliments. Best part, it comes in four colors.

My new favorite sunnies by Chloe,were a gift from my husband. He has good taste, right? Ok ok I picked them out, but he still gets credit. They are super stylish and a good shape for my face. I don't leave home without them. 

When I'm not wearing heels, I'm wearing these Jeffrey Campbell Taggart Booties. I think they speak for themselves, but I'll say I just adore the design. They aren't heels, but can still dress up any outfit - who doesn't love that? 

As always, thanks for stopping by my blog. Have a great weekend!!!

Chokers - From Leather to Lace for Under $20

Today's post is all about chokers. I know I'm not the only one who wishes they hung onto their chokers from back in the day. I've started a small collection and I'm not sure I want to stop adding to it. Lately, I've been switching it up between choker styles, because they seem to go with everything.

I love this mauve soft lace choker (similar here and here)when I want to spice up an outfit with a plain tee or dress. If I want an edgier look with an outfit I really like this vintage inspired wrap choker. It comes in black here.

If you are looking to add a choker to your closet, shop this post below. Images are clickable.

I hope you had a great weekend. As always, thank you for stopping by.
