{guest post} Concrete Catwalk Styles Stripes!

Now, let’s get down to business… I wanted to share a few outfit shots with you because that’s typically what I do on my blog, and when I was getting dressed on this particular day, I made sure to choose my favorite new striped item to plan my look around!  This sweater has a roomier fit, and my first inclination was to pair it with my tried and true skinnies and some cute flats.  One of the things I tell my clients (and often myself), is that if you bypass the first thing that comes to mind when planning an outfit, and encourage yourself to be a bit more creative, you’ll often be surprised and delighted by what you will come up with!  I took a peek in the dress section on my closet, and found this lacy little number that was about to be packed away for summer, but decided to give it one last run – and I love the way it looks like a skirt and almost became a completely different piece!  I thought it would also be fun to share the way I originally wore the dress two years ago here (teaser: it involves cobalt blue)!
