Let's Do Luncheon

Juicy Couture dress

Sperry Top-Sider wedges
Emporio Armani watch
Tiffany necklace

Today's outfit is perfect for a day out. The simple printed dress is girly and effortless at the same time and will last season after season. The cork wedges are a wonderful basic you could pair with nearly any sun dress. I accessorized lightly with a dainty necklace and silver watch. To top it off I included a picture of a voluptuous half-up do I thought would look especially good with this outfit.

XOXO,
Kate

"How can a young person stay pure? By obeying your word." - Psalm 119:9

Stripes, Sparkles, and Silver

H M double breasted jacket, £25
St. John Yellow Label 5 pocket pants, $395
Steve Madden high heel shoes, $90
Coach bag, $138
Tiffany Co chain jewelry, $250
Ae Striped Roll Sleeve T, $25

This outfit takes some of my favorite things and blends them all together. Rugby stripes are fun to wear and add a nice, casual vibe to a navy blue jacket and pair of dress pants. Sparkly heels in a soft neutral are a gorgeous compliment, especially when paired with a coordinating bag. Last but not least, a silver key pendant is a great statement piece and adds to the classic feel of the look.

XOXO,
Kate

"The Best Time to Wear a Striped Sweater is All the Time"

"the Best time to wear a striped sweater is all the time" by prettykeenkate featuring a cross body shoulder bag

Michael Kors merino wool sweater, £113
Ralph Lauren Black Label Denim mid rise jeans, £168
Franco Sarto flat shoes, $32
Dooney Bourke cross body shoulder bag, $298
Chain jewelry, $1,050

Hey all! Hope you've had a great week...and have an even better weekend! I decided to take a little fashion advice from Spongebob Squarepants himself and break out the trusty striped sweater for a chic weekend look. I kept it casual and accessorized this gorgeous Marc Jacobs top with dark wash, straight leg jeans, never-fail espadrilles, and a gold Tiffany key. This is a great look for shopping and lunch with the the girls, and as I'm partial to stripes and Dooney & Bourke all-weather-leather bags (patiently waiting for my first), one to pull out of the closet again and again.

Thanks for reading!
XOXO,
Kate

P.S. If you want to see where I got the title of my post from (and one of my favorite Spongebob moments) look no further than the video below:

P.P.S. A great alternative to the espadrilles found in this post are Soludos - only $28 - $36 a pair and super stylin' and popular!

The Playful Prep by PrettyKeen featuring sterling silver jewelry
Another outfit that I'd really enjoy wearing myself -- and the bag is absolutely darling!

"A Hazy Shade of Winter"

A great look for fall or winter featuring some of my favorite wardrobe pieces: skirts, motorcycle jackets, and suede boots. Actually, I really like all of the individual items in this look, like the silver jewelry and gray v-neck. Put these pieces together and you get an outfit that is casually cool and perfect for a day out. Throw on some black tights and you're ready to face the elements. :) Full product list here.

Smiles,
