Lace Crochet for Cinco de Mayo

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! How cute are these lace crochet off the shoulder pieces? I wish I was wearing one now with a margarita in hand. Instead, I’m currently celebrating in the Newark airport on the way back from my cruise to Bermuda with the girls, which was a blast by the way. I’ll be posting a full recap of the cruise on the blog soon, but until I hope you enjoy these festive off the shoulder looks for Cinco de Mayo below! I actually wore the red, lace crochet romper while I was on the cruise this past week.

Boho Printed Tunic + Denim Cutoffs

I’m going to be honest with you…I majorly struggled trying to style this boho printed tunic from Chicwish with my petite frame. In case you don’t know, I’m only 5 ft and 3/4 of an inch tall so long tunics either fit me like a dress or swallow me whole. However, I loved the style and print of this tunic so I was determined to make it work! I initially tried white jeans, but it was just way too much material for me and looked overwhelming in the mirror. Before I nixed the jeans, I tried knotting the bottom corner of the tunic, but I just didn’t love that look on me. Finally, I threw on a pair of denim cutoffs, some wedges and a hat and I immediately realize that I had found my winning combo.

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.

How To Master The Athleisure Trend

For my second post of the day, I’m talking about how to master the athleisure trend. If you’re one to dress in your activewear even when you don’t plan to hit the gym that day, then I’m sure you’re loving the new trend as am I!  Sometimes I’ll even shower after working out and put on new activewear clothing to wear for the rest of the day because hey, it’s comfy! Plus it’s easy and functional especially for someone who works from home. Scroll down to see how to seamlessly pull off the trend.

Outfit: Ripped Jeans | Similar Olive Jacket | Similar Sleeveless Sweater | Rebecca Minkoff Mini Suki c/o Emma’s Shoes | Chloe Marcie Satchel  | Nike Free Running Shoes 

The key to mastering the athleisure trend is chic accessories and a cool pair of sneakers. A really edgy yoga pant style doesn’t hurt either! If I’m heading out to run errands after the gym or if I just straight up want to wear fitness clothing that day then I like to my pair outfit with my black Nike running shoes and a nice handbag like my Chloe Marcie Satchel.  I like how the chic handbag offsets the casual vibe of the sneakers for an unexpected twist to the everyday activewear outfit. If you don’t own a big handbag, not to worry because a simple cross body like my Rebecca Minkoff Mini Suki looks just as cute!

As for the actual outfit, I say anything goes as long as you add a jacket, vest or even a scarf. In this case I’m wearing jeans, but this outfit would have looked equally as chic with yoga pants. It’s really the accessories that pull the whole look together. I also added jewelry to help dress up my look, but jewelry definitely isn’t necessary to pull off the athlesuire trend!
