On Style
Believe me, I understand the struggle of looking at your closet and having no idea what to wear. This
always particularly seems to be a problem for me as the seasons change. Luckily, I have discovered a
few items that easing my season transition confusion. Here are some outﬁts for inspiration or as we’re
going to call it on #offdutyonstyle, “Style Schemes”!
Sporty and Sleek:

I have been loving the sportswear inspired trend lately, but I always give trends my own personal
twist. By adding two of my consistent wardrobe staples, a leather skirt
(https://www.missguidedus.com/faux-leather-mini-skirt-black)and some black booties
(http://www.charlotterusse.com/product/Side-Zip-Chunky-Heel-Booties/306130.uts?

QnoMDTuQifvILanVyNj_nCrVxSlBoCi6_w_wcB), the outﬁt is dressed and edged up with my own
personal touch. I plan to stock up on choker necklaces

61037452aeeb&istItemId=qmawwmalx&istBid=tztx)and reﬂective sunglasses
(https://www.shopbop.com/leonard-matte-mirrored-sunglasses-illesteva/vp/v=1/1508938890.htm?

work%7D!!%7Bkeyword%7D&ef_id=Vu41fgAAALPnM0Hh:20160320053038:s)for this upcoming
summer since they provide an effortlessly cool vibe. Toss on a beanie and/or a jacket until the
weather warms up a bit more! This is my current go-to look for a night out.

Desk to Date:
Off the shoulder tops (http://us.asos.com/ASOS-Off-Shoulder-Top-In-Structured-Knit/15qmgb/?

are hot right now and I am definitely a fan! Pairing them with midi skirts
(http://www.charlotterusse.com/product/Tulle-Full-Midi-Skirt/321978.uts?

7_lASJACL_d6wBEIoHJ4awOIfReMxNv5E9QHzoVIWGE6fUqjiFXZGjRoC7WDw_wcB)allows for
the dimensions to balance properly. Since this outfit is monochromatic, I love to add fun accessories
such as a statement necklace (http://www.charmingcharlie.com/rowena-filigree-
necklace.html#color=light-seafoam) and a flirty purse. This is great for a day to night look from the
office to a night on the town.
Everyday Errands:

Boyfriend jeans (http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?
id=32722076&color=106&cm_mmc=SEM-_-Google-_-PLA-
_-82529881504product_type_l1w%26product_type_l2app%26product_type_l3jeans&adpos=1o7&crea

7_lASJACL_d6wHwf0fZYZX3WMMm_0ejJ0VnbBz3DwkWo4gJJE2Y6CLRoC9u7w_wcB) are a key
essential for spring. With a light wash and rips, they perfectly emulate spring’s warmth. This remains
consistent with the floral top and the nude lace-up flats
(http://www.charlotterusse.com/product/Bamboo-Lace-Up-Pointed-Toe-Flats/314707.uts?

7_lASJACL_d6wa35VIYGWtAAHCJYqE8q4O1oelGLSTgo8TzJnUyUXHRoCx_7w_wcB) (I recently
picked up a pair of these myself, they are very versatile!) I could not decide whether to put this outfit
with a trench coat or a utility jacket so it was lucky when I stumbled on this sort of mashup between
the two, but either would work!
Statements for Spring:

Okay, so this Alexander McQueen bomber jacket
(http://www.farfetch.com/shopping/women/Alexander-McQueen-embroidered-bomber-jacket-
item-11305796.aspx?
fsb=1&utm_source=polyvore.com&utm_medium=afﬁliate&utm_campaign=Jackets%20Group%20C_
desktop) might be around $3,000 but it is seriously beautiful. It reminded me of bubble gum and
cotton candy, which made me instantly happy. Since it is out of my price range, I will admire it from
afar, but you can pick up bomber jackets at retailers like Topshop and Forever21 (which is where I got
mine). Using that as a statement piece, wear some ripped jeans
(http://us.topshop.com/en/tsus/product/moto-washed-black-ripped-jamie-jeans-4637755?

61037452aeeb&istItemId=mxqwqxrxa&istBid=tztx), sneakers
(http://www.eastbay.com/product/model:236472/sku:85139/adidas-originals-superstar-
