Weekly Whistle: Plaid + Owls

Hello, fabulouses, and welcome back to the blog!

It’s Wednesday, and y’all know what that means–time for the VIP’s outfit of the week! Whoo hoo!

For this week’s Weekly Whistle, I styled my favorite Cynthia Rowley sweater with a green, curvy skirt, and a b/w plaid blazer to create a professional yet fun ensemble that is perfect for a relaxed lunch meeting. I love the play on patterns, textures, and trends! Plus…It’s kind of fun to wear plaid + owls *wink*

Weekly Whistle: Foxy Lady

Hello, fabulouses, and welcome back to the blog!

Oh, Wednesdays are so great–I honestly love sharing the outfit of the week with y’all! So–let’s get to it *wink*

What I love about this week’s ensemble:

1. It’s super comfy with several layers–layering is a huge key to surviving the hot-cold-hot-cold weather this time of year.

2. The mix of patterns and textures adds a lot of pizzazz to what could have easily been a boring outfit.

3. Cynthia Rowley’s fox tank always leaves me playing air guitar to Jimi Hendrix’s Foxy Lady *wink*
