Classics With A Twist

If you’re an avid reader of Haute Off The Rack, then you know my personal style is constantly evolving based on my current mood and new trends. However, I always like to keep a fresh stock of ABC’s in my closet: accessories, basics and classics! My basics and classics consist of a variety of denim, solid black, white and striped tops, a moto jacket and a nude pair of heels just like in the outfit featured below. I especially love this white pleated chiffon tank from Banana Republic in today’s post because the added details  elevate the total look. That’s actually what I love most about Banana Republic! Their wide selection of chic classics with a twist keeps me coming back season after season. They also always offer a wide selection of trendy pieces along with a variety of cute shoes and accessories. Speaking of cute shoes, I’m obsessed with the suede lace up heels in today’s post because their dark taupe color and material make wearable year round.

Outfit: BCBG Power Bandage skirt in Aqua (Thank you to Femme Fatale), Lace crochet tank (Urban Outfitters), Dolce Vita wedges (Thank you to Park Lane), Straw Fedora (here),  Aqua scarf old, similar (here),  Fringe handbag (Vertigo boutique)

Jewelry: Penny Suede lariat necklace (Thank you to Samanca), Monogram necklace (Love), Ivory beaded bracelet (Thank you to Femme Fatale),  Michael Kors watch old, similar (here), beaded wrap bracelet (here), Natural stone ring (Frock Candy)

Good Morning readers! Let me just start by saying that I adore this outfit!  I’ve worn this skirt and top in previous outfit posts (Jazz Fest & Aqua and Tangelo Orange), but this one is by far my favorite.  It’s just such a fun and casual outfit that you could wear out to lunch and shopping with the girls or on a day time date.  The scarf and fedora remind me of vacation because it’s too hot in Louisiana for summer scarves so I usually only wear them while traveling.  I posted a picture below of me wearing a scarf and fedora while visiting my family in California last summer.  I know I look like such a tourist, but I love it!!  In case you’re wondering, yes, that is my boyfriend!  We are both squinting our eyes in this picture because of how bright it was, but man, would I kill to be there right now!

By the way, I couldn’t decided what I liked better between the Samanca necklace and the aqua scarf.  That is why I photographed both.  Which one do you like better?

Hey everyone, what did you think of my first Cinco de Mayo outfit post today?  I personally love colorful maxis, but maybe it’s a bit much for some of you.  So, here is another outfit that is still fun and festive but with just a little less color.  My favorite part about this outfit is the neon bandeaux beneath the sheer fringe top.  What about you?  Also,  I have to tell you that I am obsessed with the BCBG bandage skirts!  I just love how the skirts smooths out all of your curves while still flattering your figure plus they come in a massive assortment of awesome colors!  If you live in Baton Rouge, make sure to stop by Femme Fatale to pick up a few for yourself!
