Ring My Neck

April 5, 2011 by

I have a spring/summer staple in the form of a ring my neck style top. Yes, that’s the official term. You know what I’m talking about. It’s sorta like a halter, but not tying in the back. I must own a bajillion of them and I still keep my eye out for more and more. What can I say, I love what I love. I do have a stipulation though: It can NOT be form fitted… I like it flowing in the breeze. Do you have a go to style top for the warm weather?

Outfit Request: Defending a Thesis

March 9, 2011 by

I got a request yesterday from a Tipsy reader asking my opinion about what to wear when defending a thesis in a science field. For those of you who don’t know any science-minded people, many of them are a tad bit challenged when it comes to style. And by a tad bit, I mean a whole lot.  Because they often dress super casual for work (jeans and socks with sandals…eek!), the goal is to look professional without being too dressy (i.e. no suits). Here are a few options I came up with…

option 1. Fixed Bow Striped Sheath Dress +Mossimo Black Vanette Kitten Heel Pumps

option 2. Merona Collection Jillian Crosshatch Skirt + Merona Women’s Double Layer Shirred V-Neck Top + Adi Desings Classic Pointed Toe Pumps

option 3. Ruffle and Striped Belted Dress + Cuffed Sleeve V-Neck Cardigan + Mossimo Pearce Pumps

option 4.  Banded Waist Button Front Shirt + Chino Solid Ruffle Skirt + Mossimo Pearce Pumps

For those of you looking for something less trendy, you can never go wrong with a classic sheath dress!
