high utility

Jacket: Jack by BB Dakota // Top: Missguided // Skirt: Zara // Boots: Charles David // Bag: Mansur Gavriel via Net-a-Porter // Hat: Vince Camuto // Sunglasses: Celine // Lips: Stila 'Fiery'

Not gonna lie. I jumped the gun and wore this outfit during the freezing weekend. I thought the forecast said 40 degrees! I guess I was too excited to wear this perforated midi skirt from the Zara sale. It's the perfect bone white color and even came with the utility style belt. Too good. Speaking of midi skirts, check out this article from BuzzFeed Style featuring some of my previous outfit posts on some fun ways to style your midi skirt! For a more wintery look, I went for a comfortable pair of wedged ankle boots - perfect for running around the city in. 

What's your fav way to rock a midi?

I am so excited to share with you some of my favorite photos from our engagement photo session shot in the infamous streets of the Meatpacking District and LES. Matt and I wanted to go for more of a fashion editorial style and our amazing photographers, Joseph and Christina Mills of Still55, totally delivered. See more photos and their fav shots here. 

As for my outfits, I'm so lucky that I got to style two! I definitely wanted to wear white, but in a more street style sort of way and knew this blazer dress was what I needed. I paired it with ankle boots for a more fall/winter look. My second dress is a nod to my wedding dress.. hint.. lace, lace, lace! And if you know me well, you knew I had to sneak in some leopard print up in here somewhere ;)
