Exposed Fishnets Ripped Jeans

The fishnets trend has taken over, and one of my favorite ways to wear the look is layering them underneath a pair of ripped jeans. I love exposed fishnets ripped jeans and like how the fishnets peek out at the knees and the thighs, and are exposed a tiny bit at the waist. If you would have told me I would be wearing fishnets hanging out from my jeans last year, I wouldn’t have believed it! But there is something so fun and undeniably punk about wearing fishnets ripped jeans, skirts, tights… and they look irreverent and cool.

The thing I like about this outfit is the balance. The bottom has attitude while the top exudes polish by way of a beret and blazer. Sporty-meets-spice-meets a little bit of downtown–throw in a French flag and you’ve got the whole look. Like what you see?

Pretty Pink Coats

I’m having a pink moment and I don’t care who knows it! Pink is easily one of the most important colors of the season, which is ironic since it’s usually reserved for warmer months. I have slowly been adding more pink pieces to my wardrobe, including this stunning topper. Personally, I am loving pretty pink coats, like this gorgeous textured one I snagged from H&M! You can shop this exact jacket below right now for $129, worth every penny.

I adore the way pink and red look together, so I made sure to punctuate this look with all red accessories. These shoes are proof that fashion is cyclic–they were one of the first purchases I made with some extra spending cash I had saved while interning at E! a decade ago! I usually don’t keep pieces for that long, but I always felt connected to these strappy ballet flats for some reason. I’m happy I hung on to them!

Killa Kimono

How awesome is this floral kimono? I’ve actually had it for awhile, but for some reason never wore it. A floral kimono is something you would typically envision wearing for warmer months, like with a bikini on vacation or with some shorts. I decided to wear it over a body con, navy knit dress and throw on some knee high boots for an unexpected look.

I really like the color story going on with this outfit, which was further punctuated by this muted blue wall, that seems to look a different shade in every photo. I love this mix of navy and subtle browns and tans, which evokes a soft, 70s vibe.

All About Those Ruffles

If it’s not clear enough, I’m having a ruffle moment. I just wore this gorgeous, vintage ruffle top last week, and have been slipping this tan top into my outfits a lot. I like this season’s interpretation of ruffles, because there’s a little something for everyone.

I’m not a girlie girl, but for some reason I am drawn to this trend. I’ve really been liking ruffles on tops, and for this outfit, I left my white, ruffle button-up shirt open and layered a black turtleneck underneath.

If you look closely, there’s not just one, but two ruffle pieces in this look… the shoes! These silver shoes have the tiniest ruffle detailing that I find so quaint and charming. Like what you see? Then shop shop below!

Bohemian Fall Dresses

I’ve been on a brown, boho kick as of late. Perhaps it’s the way warm brown tones compliment my hair…whatever the case may be, I can’t seem to get enough of gorgeous boho dresses. This one is from H&M and it’s only $20! You can shop this exact dress below. I can’t tell you how many compliments I received in this dress. I love the color palette and the pattern rift off of a typical paisley print. I also love the hidden ruffle details and the high neckline, two trends that are very current right now.

I like the idea of wearing a straw hat into fall, because a boater hat really can be worn year round. Funny story with this bag, I have almost given it away probably 10 times. Every season I do a closet sweep and I always *almost* get rid of this vintage brown and black bag, but for some reason I hang onto it. I’m happy I did because I have bene wearing it a ton as of late. I like the unexpected mix of brown and black and the dainty gold chain.
