Memorial Day | Spring Whites + Sales

One of my favorite things about spring is wearing white. There's a 99% chance that I'll spill something on myself, but it's worth it. I love the fresh clean look of an all white outfit. I mixed blush and nude tones to this outfit, with a pop of red. The eyelet skirt from J.Crew is one of my favorite pieces. I tend to reach for it most day when I don't know what to wear. All of these pieces can also be work to work. I wouldn't recommend reaching a cami to work, but you could easily throw a blush cardigan over this outfit and you're ready for the office.

In honor of all those who severed, this video really shows how much you're missed when you're gone. Thank you for your service!

3 Tips To Get Dressed Faster In The Morning

For most of us, our mornings start the same way. We hit the snooze button a few times, jump out of bed, head straight to the kitchen to start coffee and start our morning routine. I've found when I do a few things throughout the week, it makes my mornings a little less hectic and my days more organized.

1. Plan Your Outfit - this seems obvious, but take the pieces out of your closet and put them aside. Everything from your shoes to jewelry. This will cut out 5-10 minutes and you'll have a clear mind on what you want to wear to work.

2. Iron & Dry Clean Key Pieces - after you do laundry, iron your work pieces. Nothing more frustrating than having to iron something in the morning. Take your dresses and slacks by the cleaners. This will give you more options when picking out your outfit for the week.

3. Look at Your Schedule - before you head to bed, take one last look at your schedule for the next day. This will help you plan on what to pack in your bag for the day. If you have to run errands after work, pack a pair of flat, etc.

 For those of us who have busy mornings, today's outfit is a great option for you. The slacks and light sweater don't require dry cleaning and/or ironing. Both pieces are professional, yet practical for busy working women. What's so great about the pants, they can be folded or hung and they'll be ready to wear the following day. The sweater is a great pieces for colder days in the office. The sweater can also be worn with a shirt underneath for more coverage around your waist when you wear it to work. Both pieces currently 40% at Banana Republic with code BRSUMMER.

What to Wear to Work | Whites & Stripes

Although this is a simple outfit, it's an easy look to wear at the office. If you're like me, white pants probably scare you, especially at the work place.  To cover the bases, I always make sure my pants are not too tight, made of thicker material and wear nude underneath.  If you don't wear heels to the office, try these perfect office flats. This look can easily be changed from office chic to casual weekend with a pair of nude sandals. Have good rest of the work week!
