POSHEstyle: GingHam Romper & Letting Go

It's crazy to think we are already half way through the year, and summer is quickly making it's way to "until next time!" This year, so far - has been one of changes and transitions - some exhilarating, and some exasperating. But, one thing has kept me true to my resilience - and that is - letting go! 

Last year, this time, I had moved into my new apt in FiDi a few months prior; I had just launched my swim brand - LAPOSHE - my blog was really starting to grow, and I was about to embark on the different, but exciting territory of the real estate business. But, through all these promising accomplishments, I was struggling to keep my smile up and the tears away - because, I was simultaneously experiencing a plato of emotional turmoil and confusion from having my ex - and my heartbreaker - back in my life after 4 years. 

It was through that struggle, that I realized how crucial my emotional health is to my productivity - and though I was still pushing myself to achieve my goals - I could see them suffering. I lost momentum and consistency, I couldn't focus, and I was completely distracted. But, sometimes you need your kryptonite to remind you just how strong you really are, and how far you've come. 

And then...this year happened...and I made a promise to "let it go" and accept that not everything is meant to be, and that's ok! We can't steer someone else's destiny, we can only captain our own - it's ok to choose YOU! That lead me to where I am now - a new chapter, new neighborhood, new apt - filled with positivity, living in the moment, enjoying life, and feeling very optimistic and excited for what's to come :)  

Ok, ok...enough of my personal life banter...lets talk a little fashion and a lot of style. Gingham has been the biggest trend this season, and this Zara romper from 2 years ago was conveniently in my closet waiting for its perfect debut. The streets and modern architecture of my old neighborhood downtown was the perfect backdrop for this clean, structured and chic look. The classic accessories - Chanel bag, Chanel J12 watch, Chanel oversized sunnies and Louboutins - transformed what may be "trendy" right now into what will be "timeless" forever.

POSHEstyle: Sequins to the Office

Sequins to work? Sure you can!

I love to experiment when it comes to corporate style by wearing pieces that aren't generally associated as office appropriate. Wearing sequins to the office is one such situation. Many fear wearing sparkles during the day or believe it's too much for work, but this shimmery fabric - if done right - can really make an outfit.

The main trick is to rock sequins in a casual-glam way that looks effortlessly chic. Mix your sequins with something more casual or classic, to offset and balance the glitz. Another tip - especially if trying this look for the first time - stick to the darker hues of a color, such as, navy blue, black, maroon or a deep purple. The darker the color the more subtle the sequins.

The pencil length of this sequins skirt naturally gives it a sophisticated flair and is a great choice for an office look. Though I originally purchased this Forever21 skirt for a dressy event, I decided to add a little pizzazz to my day and wear it to work instead. Why not?

I paired the skirt with a crisp white shirt from ASOS and a Forever21 navy blue turtleneck sweater-vest with the most interesting cut-out side details. For more corporate chicness, I added a white blazer from H&M with white Christian Louboutin pigalle pumps.

I kept the accessories at a minimum with my Hermes watch, Tiffany & Co bracelet, diamond rings and one of my favorite pieces, a delicate evil-eye necklace.

The final touch necessary to pull together your corporate style and truly make it work appropriate is your bag. I love Coach's assortments. The styles are clean, classic, contemporary and a great price point. It's a classic brand with a solid reputation and a great choice for work. This Coach double zip bag has multiple compartments, is a great size and the neutral blue color works with everything. I even took a break from the office, as you saw in the video above, to visit the store. I'm on the hunt for a new classic black work bag.
