Child’s Play {Anthropologie Jumpsuit}

Colorful Anthropologie Jumpsuit{ANTHROPOLOGIE Jumpsuit, H&M Earrings, NYC Street Vendor Sunglasses, ZARA Slides}

Truth be told, I have a love/hate relationship with this time of year. While I absolutely look forward to fall and the idea of breaking out my favorite sweaters and tights, I can help but cling to these last few weeks of summer. I’m definitely dragging my feet in terms of making a full-on wardrobe switch. And can you really blame me for wanting to keep awesome outfits like this crazy colorful Anthropologie jumpsuit in rotation for as long as I can?

About the Fit:
If you’re daring, it’s hard to go wrong with this one in terms of size. The crazy bold print might overwhelm some petite frames, but I’ve never been one to shy away from a crazy print (and neither should you!). I went with a size 10 to allow extra room in the chest area. But if you’re a smaller cup size, you could definitely size down.

J. Crew Postcard Prints

When J. Crew rolled out this postcard print, I just knew I had to have it. I took a gamble and waited a week or two for a sale to crop up (because let’s face it, who really pays full price at J. Crew?), and my patience paid off when I scored this top on the cheap! I didn’t get so lucky with the skirt as it sold out before going on sale, but luckily good old Nordie’s came through in a pinch. The two pieces together make a pretty bold statement, and I got tons of compliments while taking these photos. But you can definitely tone down the look by wearing them separately.

About the Fit:
Both the top and skirt fit true-to-size. The top is made of a substantial stretchy cotton and is a great length for wearing both tucked and untucked. Crew necks can be tricky if you have a larger bust (I usually opt for v-necks and scoop necks), but this tee was just too cute to pass up. The skirt hits right below the knee on my 5’7″ frame, and it also comes in petite (and tall) sizing.

Bows on Top

{ZARA Cardigan (similar), CLUB MONACO Top (on sale!), H&M Sailor Pants (similar), PRADA Sunglasses, c/o CHARMING CHARLIE Earrings, RALPH LAUREN Hat, STUART WEITZMAN Shoes}

90% of the time if you see me wearing head-to-toe black and white, it’s because I was in a rush to get ready that morning. It’s a foolproof style hack that never lets me down. I threw some fun into the mix this go ’round with a fabulous statement-making Club Monaco top. I fell completely in love with it when I spied it on the clearance rack and have been tempted to go back for the stripe version as well. The bow on the shoulder gives just the right feminine touch to finish off the look.

Because I had a client meeting to go to earlier in the day, I tossed on this contrast trim cardigan that I picked up from the Zara clearance sale a while back. It’s sold out now, but I found a really great dupe at Target.

About the Fit:
This relaxed-fit top is made from a stretchy knit with lots of give, so it’s hard to go wrong with this one. Just get a great strapless bra (this one gets a gold star), and you’re good to go.  The length is also perfect for wearing both tucked and untucked.
