In a ski resort town such as Jackson, we're pretty familiar with the term 'snow skirt.' Only, we're usually talking about that bit of extra fabric that cinches tight underneath your ski jacket to keep the powder from pushing up underneath. Yet, the snow skirt I'm talking about is the nifty thing you see me sporting in this post. Nohmii's quilted skirt is not only stylish, it's your best friend on a cold day in ski country. Like a puffy for your legs, it truly is a wonderful winter staple.

What to Wear on a Resort Vaca: Part 3

Winter is in full force, and although I love the cooler temps and the many layers, a mid-January trip to a tropical locale has me daydreaming. If you are lucky enough to have an upcoming trip on the calendar (what a way to start 2017!) I hope you will find my series on What to Wear on a Resort Vaca helpful. Part three is all about what to wear to dinner. If you missed parts 1 & 2, you can check them out here, and here.

In hot climates, you wear next to nothing all day- just to stay cool. So dinner is a special time to show off your style and take things up a notch. Remember, you're on vacation so stick to flat sandals and little makeup to hold onto your relaxed vibe. Jewelry and a statement clutch, like the one featured here from Seek Wander Share, add a little something extra without trying too hard. 

I hope you've enjoyed this series and that it comes in handy as you pack for your any warm weather getaways in your future. Please share your own outfit picks and tips in the comments below. xx

Eco-Outfit: Crop it to Me

The cropped top trend has been around for a few seasons now, but finding the right level of crop in the right material makes all the difference in feeling confident and cool instead of like an Anime character. I was consciously moving away from the crop top (I already have a few options in my closet and felt I didn't need to further explore this trend), yet when I pulled on the cropped sweater from Averti my whole perspective on how I could look and feel in a crop top changed.

The cut of this sweatshirt is so flattering and has that 'cool girl' feel without trying too hard. I found I wanted to wear this top with EVERYTHING! Paired here with jeans you can see what an easy wearable piece it is, but I could see myself layering it over a slip dress or overalls too. I also tried out the chocker trend with a clean and minimal piece from Muses & Rebels, and was again surprised by how much I loved it. I guess that goes to show, you just don't know what you don't know... until you try it.

DAY TO NIGHT 

Take this outfit from day to night by adding a statement belt and a pair of ankle booties with a heel.

We added this belt from B-Low The Belt, and I looked into their ethics as best I could. I do know they manufacture in China and use real leather. I don't know where that leather comes from or if it is treated with chemical or natural dyes... so please take the use of this belt in this post as a styling prop and not an item I am actually promoting. I hope to find an eco alternative to list in the future.
