While venturing out near Rio Vista, CA (aka the wind turbine capital!) for a summer soirée with relatives, it seemed like a rather fitting occasion to break out my fabulous find! The rest of my outfit consisted of what I like to call my “uniform.” Just like anything else in life, when you find something that works, take it and run with it. For me, that is a pair of jeans, a blouse, a statement necklace, and a blazer. In the ensemble below I styled a pair of mauve distressed skinny jeans. These chic pants can easily take the place of your traditional blue jeans – consider them a neutral. I paired a navy blouse with them and topped it off with my go-to cropped white jacket. To incorporate fuchsia back into the mix, I hung an iridescent rhinestone necklace around my neck, and threw on my favorite hot kicks.

In case you’re wondering, it was extremely windy during this shoot – hence the reason for windblown hair!

When life gives you lemons, wear orange lipstick! No really, how fun is this fruit-shaped purse?! Food items are trending in the fashion world so why not ride the bandwagon?! Being a huge fan of contrasting colors, I knew this accessory would pop nicely against a white pants outfit, so there you have it. Introduce me to a good peplum top and 9 times out of ten it’ll have a new home in my closet. Introduce me to a neon green lace peplum top and it will be hanging in my closet in a matter of seconds! As you can see in the photos below, I paired this gem with my favorite white flare jeans – I always prefer a tailored top with wide leg pants. To incorporate all of the colors in the purse, I styled this look with a chunky yellow necklace, a white watch, and a rhinestone bracelet. With my white laser cut sandals on repeat, I think they helped polish off this ensemble…although a pair of white or nude pumps would’ve worked too.

Is a fruit-shaped purse in your future?

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.

How about this outfit for under $100?! No matter near or far from San Francisco, this dress is perfect for you! Its draped cut makes it suitable for all body types and it is a great layering piece. Being in Cali, I was able to get away with bare legs, but it is the perfect length to wear over some printed leggings if you’re in a cooler climate. Anyway, I added some glam to this rather simple dress by pairing it with a paisley navy blue scarf and high heeled knee-high taupe boots (only $40 and available in black too!). I turned it up a notch with my gold and blue Ray-Ban mirrored sunglasses, and further accessorized with a glitzy watch, gold bangles and a statement ring.

As the sun started to go down, I put on a white blazer for added warmth and a floppy felt hat. See how easy it was to change the look and feel of this dress with just a jacket and hat? Imagine all you could do with the accessories already in your closet!
