Hello Lovely Readers!

Today’s look is one I wore a few weeks ago and features one my fave additions to my closet this spring: the perfect peplum.  As you may remember both W and I wore this top last month and had such a fun time styling it.  I wore it in MadMen style here and W mixed it up with a fun houndstooth print skirt here.  I kept it simple this go round with wearing a simple black pencil skirt and some of my gold jewelry staples. The outfit was complete with a stachel bag featuring bold gold hardware.  How are you wearing the peplum trend this spring?  We’d love to hear from you, so drop us a note on Instagram, Facebook, or in our comments section located below each post.

Happy Shopping!

Happy Monday!

This weekend was packed with lots of fun events: a wedding shower, landscaping our front yard, shopping at the J.Crew Factory 50% off sale…and a half marathon!  Needless to say, I’m a little pooped (well from the running/shopping, I can’t claim any of the work on the yard - shocker, I know). The race was a blast and the weather was picture perfect. I must give a special shout out to my college friends that also ran in the race: Carlie, Kara, Bailey and Claribel!  I also managed to convince my husband to run it with me. He did awesome, especially considering we didn’t train at all like we needed to and this was his first running event ever.  Check us out on Instagram if you want to see a few pics. :)

So today’s outfit pretty much sums up my normal take on style: chic, classic and comfy.  You can’t go wrong with nautical stripes paired with gold accessories, in my opinion.  I picked up the navy pleated skirt at a 40% off sale at The Limited a few weeks ago. It’s so comfy and already look forward to wearing it again. The outfit is topped off with my new Coach tote (“saffiano north/south city tote”) in this gorgeous tan shade that seems to go with ALL my spring outfits. It’s one of my fave purchases this season for sure. The price point is great too and makes it really affordable (especially with the 25% discount you can get for signing up your email address here).

Happy Friday!

So as spring normally likes to do, we’ve been experiencing some major temp changes the past few weeks. One day it’s 80 degrees, the next it’s 30.  So what’s a girl to do?!  Normally at DTG headquarters we advise putting away the tights/hose around the first of March. However, one chilly morning a few weeks back, L decided to pull out her trusty matte black hose.  It’s a great way to wear a skirt that would feel otherwise too short - although we do NOT mean that all short skirts can be saved by wearing hose.  While we may not be fans of super short hemlines, we promise not to judge you if you too wore some tights lately.  Sometimes you have to dress for the thermometer and not the calendar!

Hello Lovely Readers~

We are excited to bring you our “double take” edition of spring styling featuring this color block, peplum top from Sugarlips.  It features a bold blue bodice paired with a gorgeous flippy white lower half, finished off with black piping. While W paired it with a classic houndstooth print pencil skirt, I chose to add even more color to this vibrant blue top. Cue the 50s secretary feel with this seamed high-waist pencil skirt, belted cardigan, and top handle bag. What do you readers think? We are loving how versatile the peplum is this season!
