But for the warmer summer months, go for a graphic tank top instead!     Leave it to Current Clothing to introduce me to yet another wonderful brand, Bear Dance. This line of graphic tank tops is truly unique and appealing to many different tastes. When I came across the whale tail top, I was immediately in love.

Leave it to Current Clothing to introduce me to yet another wonderful brand, Bear Dance. This line of graphic tank tops is truly unique and appealing to many different tastes. When I came across the whale tail top, I was immediately in love. The metallic print dresses it up just a tad, and the fit is amazing. Nothing frumpy about this pretty little thing! Since dressy is always better in my book, I paired this tank with black distressed jeans and black strappy sandals (although in between shooting I rocked a pair of leather flip flops). I accessorized this outfit with dramatic off-white tassel earrings, my go-to off-white clutch and a black cape. It is amazing to me how the addition of a cape can transform a look from good to great in a matter of seconds. If you do not yet own one, get on that! Aside from being a fab layering piece, you can wear them all-year-round. Call me the “cape lady,” but these sleeveless pieces are the perfect finishing touch to virtually any ensemble.

By playing, I really mean trying on various pieces and styling my favorites – there is nothing more fun for a fashion aficionado (thank you, Olivia!). While I would take one of everything from this cute little store, the look I chose to model is one that is easy to replicate, and can take you from the office to the dinner table.   When you come across a flattering patterned top, buy it! It’s easy to get into the habit of stocking up on solids and basics, but those won’t do you any good when you’re in a rush and you find yourself having one of those “I have nothing to wear moments.” When I tried on this multicolored top, I could immediately tell it would pair nicely with virtually any color denim, coated denim, or leather. In the ensemble photographed below, I suited up in some skinny jeans (not just any jeans, but Flying Monkey jeans – my favorite brand), and a black boyfriend blazer. Although you could get away with various shades of denim, I recommend […]

When you come across a flattering patterned top, buy it! It’s easy to get into the habit of stocking up on solids and basics, but those won’t do you any good when you’re in a rush and you find yourself having one of those “I have nothing to wear moments.” When I tried on this multicolored top, I could immediately tell it would pair nicely with virtually any color denim, coated denim, or leather. In the ensemble photographed below, I suited up in some skinny jeans (not just any jeans, but Flying Monkey jeans – my favorite brand), and a black boyfriend blazer. Although you could get away with various shades of denim, I recommend a fitted bottom such as a skinny or straight leg pant when wearing a boxy garment on top. I polished off the look with a glitzy necklace of similar tones, a navy blue fringe purse, and patent leather nude pumps.

For the alternate look below, my goal was to transform the same attire into an edgy ensemble appropriate for a night on the town. If you can avoid “wasting” a second outfit during the same day, do it. Swapping out the denim pants for some vegan leather shorts was an obvious fix – it was all of a sudden sunny and 70 degrees in San Francisco. Next, I switched up my jewels for some black and gold ones straight out of my armoire, replaced the navy purse with a classic Gucci bag, and threw on my blue Ray-Bans.
