Today I’m excited to be partnering with Banana Republic again to style a couple of their new arrivals! In case you haven’t noticed, I am a total girlie girl. So I almost always prefer to wear a dress over pants. This ruffled vee dress has it all…ruffled straps, a flattering empire waist and best of all…pockets! We haven’t been to the race track in years but I would totally wear this look to opening day! Although I may add a slightly fancier hat. I just love a dress that looks as cute coming as it does going. The ruffled straps in the back are such a feminine touch.

For my second look, I went with a nautical vibe with some subtle print mixing thrown in for a little extra kick. If you told me years ago that I would be wearing stripes with leopard print, I would have thought you were crazy. And now I think of both prints as total neutrals that can be mixed with almost anything. Well, almost anything. A nice navy blazer is a timeless piece that will never go out of style. Plus, it looks just as great with a pencil skirt or sheath dress for meetings as it does pared down with distressed skinnies for a lunch date.

P.S. Banana Republic is offering 25% off New Arrivals w/ code BRSAVE through May 9th, 2016. Some exclusions apply. See Banana Republic for full details.
