Style: One Skirt, Three Ways

Make the most out of your closet by creating different looks from one staple in your wardrobe. I recently found this neutral pleated skirt from a sample sale in downtown LA, and knew it would be a great foundation to build a ton of great outfits.

For all three looks, I added this light pink Coach purse because it's my absolute favorite bag right now. The color, the style... everything about it is sophisticated, classy, and easy to wear!

Lunch with the Girls

Relaxed and carefree, this soft look is perfect for a lunch date with the girls. These low neutral heels are super comfortable and easy to walk in for window shopping or taking a stroll after lunch. 

A pulled back bun is hassle-free and looks great with racerback tank tops. For a more undone look, pull out some strands by your face and loosen up the bun by gently pulling on various areas of the loop.

Instead of tucking in your tank top, try tying it into a side knot for a fresh look. I love the added sparkle stripes of this otherwise muted grey tank. It adds just the right amount of fancy to my lunch-with-friends look.

Work Day

Clean and professional, this outfit is perfect for the office. The neutral color palette is ideal for the workplace, but the polka-dotted top keeps it feeling fun and unique. I'm always a fan of adding in some style and personality!

You might recognize those black bowed Steve Madden heels from a few style posts ago. They are so adorable, I always find myself reaching for them when I need a fun staple.

I like to keep my hair pulled back at work to keep stray hairs out of my face so I can see and be productive! For years, this easy 'poof' has been my usual. It keeps my shorter layers in place, but stays relaxed with the the rest of my hair left down in loose waves.

Date Night

This look is ultra feminine and flirty. I've always loved lace, and I've recently been loving crop tops (if you haven't noticed ;) ), so this laced crop top was love at first sight for me. I actually purchased it in London, which makes it even more of a favorite of mine.

For chilly nights, or if you'd like a little extra coverage, add a cute coverup to your outfit. Sometimes I like to ditch the traditional blazer or jacket in favor of a button-down collared shirt like this one from Banana Republic. It keeps your look a little more relaxed for casual date nights.

And those shoes! A slight splurge for sure, but Vera Wang's amazing style and design make it all worth it. I call this my elevated neutral heel because it's a little more fashion-forward than a traditional nude pump.

It's so fun to create multiple looks with a common piece of your closet. I love all three of these outfits; it's so hard to pick a favorite! Chris likes the Date Night look the best, so I guess that one wins for me. :)

Which one is your favorite?!
