A Western Element

Bodysuit: American Apparel, similar here and here | Skirt: old, similar here, steal here | Shoes: Via Spiga (on sale for $65!!) | Bag: Chanel | Belt: Asos | Watch: Daniel Wellington (use simplybysimone for 15% off your order!) An easy way to upgrade your style is to incorporate a western element. I’m not saying traditional cowboy boots, I’m talking belts! I truly appreciate the detail in any item that’s western inspired.

Splurge vs Steal – Romantic Florals

Splurge vs Steal – Romantic Florals

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 Romantic florals are one of my favorite prints, they give off a soft feminine vibe. Today I’ve created a splurge vs steal inspirational look with this print that’s perfect for day and night. The small minimalistic bag with a leather strap keeps this look casual while the fringe high-heel sandals take it up a notch. I’m absolutely lusting over #1, the sunglasses. They are to-die-for and Olivia Culpo was wearing them this past weekend at the Revolve house (check out her insta). They…
