Poplin and Platforms

Top: Leith| Jeans: BDG| Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell| Bag: Gucci

Taking the poplin trend into fall with ruffle sleeves and ribbon suspenders. Absolutely loving my Stella McCartney look alike platforms by Jeffrey Campbell. I’ve been looking for this style of shoe for some time now and couldn’t bring myself to purchase the Stella’s. Although they are white, I plan to where these babies year round if weather permits. Polished the look off with my go to BDG high waisted jeans and this gorgeous velvet Gucci Dionysus super mini cross body in the color berry. This will be my statement bag for fall. I needed parts of the Gucci Dionysus trend but could not spend upwards of $2,000 on the bag. This super mini was a fraction of the cost but still gives all the feels. IN LOVE. 

The Midi Skirt

Shoe:Occasion Ratio

There’s so much to be said about the perfect midi skirt. The versatility is matchless as a different shoe can change the trajectory of your look. My current favorites to pair with my midi skirts consist of a closed toe pump for work, an open toe sandal for date night/evening, slides for brunch, and tennis for Saturday errands. 

Designer vs Standard

Through my shopping conquests both in store and online I have noticed the difference in midi skirt length given price point, designer, etc. I prefer a midi skirt that hits right below the knee to the shin area and it seems that only designer or higher priced skirts fit that description. A standard  (non designer) midi at best will come directly below the knee. Am I the only one who’s noticed this? For example, here is a standard JCrew midi skirt…notice length


Skirt: JCrew

…now observe this midi skirt from JCrew Collection, a higher end designer-like sector of the brand…


Skirt: JCrew

Do you see my plight!? I don’t know why this is but it seems that the standard midi skirts I purchase rarely come in the correct “midi” length (that perfect below knee to shin range) 

Current Selections

As frustrating as this can be fortunately this seasons fashion has taken a slight shift. I have discovered several purse-friendly “perfect length” midis that I wanted to share!


Nordstrom: Chelsea28


Zara


JCrew


ASOS

And finally, the perfect designer midis that are currently out of my price range but won’t be for long 😏 Gucci everything


NOTICE THE LENGTHS! I’m just sayin…lol

I know it has been a while but this Baltimore weather has me so confused. I don’t know whether to wear flowy printed spring tops or to keep out my suede thigh highs…so I did both. As you (should) know I am trying to go a few months without putting heat on my air hence the 70s puff balls. The Gucci belt has been on my wish list for months so I decided to treat myself for my birthday. The hair and belt tie this look together perfectly!

“You expensive, you know that? I’m high maintenance a little bit but not in a negative way, I just like extremely expensive things.” These Drake lyrics do not characterize me at all, however, my current cravings may cause you to disagree. Herein lies my fall wish list. These are items I’ve been gushing over for months/weeks on end. Clearly I’m in love with the new Gucci and that accounts for the bag, belt, and loafers on my wishlist…Christmas is around the corner. I also need a new laptop and the rose gold Macbook is a beauty. Stuart Weitzman Lowland boots are a staple in any fashionista’s closet, but that price point though!  I fell in love with Marc Jacobs Decadence a few weeks ago but ended up purchasing the YSL Black Opium instead. I see myself going back to pick this fragrance up in the near future. Capping off my list with a gorgeous sweater dress from Zara and the MAC Cleansing Oil, I’ve heard great reviews! What are you obsessing over this season?
