Oreo Chic

Out of all my new looks from this day's shoot, this was my fave. It's so different than my usual, in that it was so elegant. Still effortless, it took five minutes to put style, but I felt like Audrey Hepburn. I had never worn all these pieces together until I was futzing around in my closet, coming up with new ways to wear old stuff. This was spot on. This DKNY parachute skirt was easily one of my summer gems. Light, long, easy, feminine yet urban. The waist band cut me at the right spot, which served as a good springboard for the cropped white button down. I love how this shirt is the right mix of classic, chic, demure, yet sexy, showing just a smidgen of stomach. It's covered yet playfully revealing in a subtle way. Sometimes subtle is best!

My ubiquitous large scale Michael Kors belt is so often seen because it works with sooooo much. Lady Blaga is a mix master, if I do say so myself. I'd much rather reuse my stuff creatively than buy new. I'd much rather save my money and flex my styling muscle 💪🏼. It's amazing how many more outfits you have than you realize. Sometimes just relocating an item in your closet to another section, is enough to remind you of the uses for it. Fresh location, fresh visual, fresh ideas 👀. The Stella shoes are chunky, street, and give cool gravity to the volume of the skirt. Everything is black and white here. Chic and cool to the max. Don't F with a classic. Hair up, a departure for me, but I loved the clean, composed effect. If I actually had a meeting, I'd have slayed (instead I changed for carpool shortly after😹).

The ultimate accessory was this AVI medicine bag tote. Like a good old fashioned doc that pays house calls, this style bag is always a winner. It's structured and keeps all the crap in my purse in check. An outfit such as this which is based on structure, would look wrong with a slouchy cross body. Statement Prada sunnies needed to finish up the glam. This is an unfussy look, which is often needed to counteract the messiness of life. Listen, we can't always actually have our shit together. That's a fact. But, who says you can't look the part? Black, white, and right all over is a key component in any wardrobe. 🎹🗝, LadyBlaga
