Falling for Fringe

Raquel Allegra Dress / Tibi Slingbacks / Gorjana, Ariel Gordon, Jennifer Zeuner, Vintage Rings

Ever since the Western revival via Chanel's Dallas show, I have been utterly obsessed with fringe. And I am LOVING how each designer/brand has brought its own interpretation to the trend. This Raquel Allegra piece is a perfect play on the classic tshirt dress. Wonderfully minimal and versatile with a pop of stringy goodness. I amped it up a bit by naturally pairing fringe with fringe. The thick fringe detailing on these structural Tibi heels is everything! Whether you take it in more of a western direction like I did HERE or a bit more minimal like above, you'll be swinging in the right direction ;)

Borrowed from the Boys

Theory Blazer / Rachel Pally Crop Top / Leifsdottir Pants (similar) / Grenson Loafers / Vintage Buxton Bag (similar) / Gorjana, Elizabeth and James, Jennifer Zeuner, and Vintage Rings

There's always some fun to be had with a menswear inspired look. A bit of quirky, whimsy, unexpected. The crop top, for example. In order to avoid looking too "borrowed from the boys", I threw in this Rachel Pally crop top to add some femininity and sex appeal to the outfit. Regardless of feeling boyish or sexy, I stepped out of the apartment feeling like a bit of a badass, wearing the pants.

On a shoe trend note, platform flats are all the rage for fall. The moment I spotted these Grenson loafers, I knew I had to have them. You can pair them with a blazer and printed pant like above, with a structured mini and comfy sweater, or with a boyfriend jean and slim tee. No matter which way you choose, you'll be stepping out ahead.
