Good Morning readers and Happy Valentine’s Day! If you saw yesterday’s post (Dress To Impress This Valentine’s Day: Casual Style), then you saw how I styled this Kate Spade graphic tee for a casual Valentine’s Day date with a pair of distressed denim and a pale pink jacket. Today, I styled it with a bight fun midi skirt by Bel & Beau and my Kate Spade beau bag for a fancy date. I love the unexpected twist of the pink midi skirt paired with the graphic “Dress To Impress” tee. It’s a sweet and elegant look while also bright and fun, which is perfect for a Valentine’s Day date with your sweetie or even your friends.

What are your thoughts on “the midi” skirt? Some of you might be thinking that you can’t pull it off because you’re too short, but let me remind you that I am only 5 ft tall!! So being short is no excuse! I am loving the midi skirt trend as well as the ball gown skirt trend too! They look great paired with graphic tees as well as cropped tops and sleeveless sweaters. Wait until you see how I styled the ivory tulle skirt and sapphire Maxi skirt by Bel & Beau! You can shop all of her skirts here–>Bel & Beau

I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

Good Morning readers, I know that usually on Valentine’s day people like to dress all fancy for their dates, but what if your date is casual?  How do you dress up a pair of jeans?  For my casual V-day look, I stayed simple with a graphic tee and distressed denim. Then I dressed up the outfit with a pair of heels, a pale pink Rebecca Taylor jacket and magenta embossed clutch by Gigi New York. For jewelry, I added a pair of the new Kendra Scott Alex earrings in white pearl with a few rings and bangles. Super easy and yet still so chic!

Also, can we talk about how amazing YSL lipstick is? I had never tried until recently and I swear it is a life-changer!! It’s so smooth and soft on my lips and the color lasts for hours. If you’ve been wanting to try a new lipstick, I highly recommend trying YSL!

Make sure to check back tomorrow to see how I how took this Kate Spade graphic tee from casual to dressy-elegant.

P.S. My nail color is called In-The-Cabana!

Good Morning readers, this is the full outfit I wore in this past weekend’s confetti party post.  I know I wore this jumpsuit recently on Haute Off The Rack (here), but I love it so much I just had to wear it again and will probably even pack it for New York Fashion Week.  Jumpsuits are super versatile and can easily be dressed up or down with the right shoes and accessories, which makes them perfect to pack on vacations or in this case fashion week. I can wear it casually during the day with a long coat, some ankle boots and a scarf and at night I can dress it up with a pair of heels, a textured or embellished jacket and some fun jewelry.

Happy Birthday Haute Off The Rack!

Good Morning readers, I know I don’t normally post on the weekends, but today is an exception since it’s Haute Off The Rack’s second birthday! These past two years have been such an amazing journey with Haute Off The Rack.  Through blogging I’ve made so many new friends and entered into a world of endless opportunities.  Thank you all so much for following along with me on this fun little venture of mine that has now become a part of my every day life. I’m especially thankful for all the photographers and WordPress web masters that I’ve worked with as well of my friends and family who have supported me the whole way. You all know who you are!

I hope that this year will be just as wonderful as the last two, but I know I’m already off to a good start with New York Fashion Week up ahead. What better way to start off the year than a trip to New York Fashion Week with some of my favorite bloggers: Brighton The Day, Living in Color Print and District Dress Up! A Pinch of Lovely will be joining us for the weekend too! We have some super exciting shows and brand meetings planned as well as some awesome giveaways while were in NY. Also, make sure to follow along on social media as we attend shows and Fall 2014 presentation collections to stay in the know for upcoming seasons!

Again, thank you a million for reading Haute Off The Rack. I hope you continue to follow along for style advice, fashion inspiration and to stay up to date with all of the “hautest” up and coming designers and trends. Have a great weekend!
