Just a Girl from Portland: Kaitlyn

You'll probably notice that everyone I post on my blog always looks effortlessly put together. I think I'm just drawn to that "Oh I just threw something together" look, something that probably came together organically but ends up looking well thought out. Kaitlyn's outfit is no exception. This will be a great look to transition you into spring. I like her simple black shoes here, but you could add a pop of color in your shoes too, depending on your mood. Enjoy!

 

The Reverse Mullet Skirt (yes, you read that right)

I love this take on the maxi skirt--it's all business in the back, and all party in the front!

I wanted to do a day to night look, with "practical" (ok, let's be honest, when am I really practical) daytime shoe & bag, and then a chic shoe and clutch for night. I pulled these gold Steve Maddens out of my closet and had to give them a good dusting off as it's been years since I've worn them. I'm kind of feeling the pointy toe stiletto look again--what do you think? A do or a don't? The special thing about these shoes is that I was wearing them when I met my husband six years ago, at a swanky-themed party no less. Definitely worth hanging on to them, non?
