Knits & Lace for Brunch in Brooklyn

What's better than a fall knit and lacy bralette? At the moment, nothing compares! We are obsessed with the chic look a black lacy bralette gives under a light colored sweater, particularly white and cream. Lace bralettes are also a perfect summer transition piece for fall, no matter the colour, paired with a chunky knit, you'll be sure to be right on trend. As mentioned in out Fall Fashion Essentials post, chunky knit sweaters are a must for fall because they are so easy to layer and keep you warm on those breezier days. Additionally, chunky sweaters pair great with black leggings, which is one of our essential looks for the colder months. As always, it's all about comfort and style.

Deena is wearing a cozy ensemble, pairing a textured knit pullover and a lace halter bra from Urban Outfitters with paneled black leggings from Zara. To tie in with her black leggings, she threw on a pair of black booties from Franco Sarto and her Marc Jacobs cross-body.

To complete her comfy ensemble, she wore a pair of black shiny leggings from American Apparel.

Wedge on Wedge

Wedged lace-up's are great because while they add height, they are still fine to wear during the day time. There's an immense amount of styles that wedged lace-up's come in, such as floral or plain black. Depending on the pattern you choose to have your wedges in, you can pair it with a simple white top and blue jean or even a colorful dress- such as in the outfit's that we chose. Wedge's are also great because they are easier on the feet than thin heels, yet they still look fashionable. Wedge's are more comfortable to walk in because both the heel, toe and bridge of the foot are supported and elevated, which makes the shoe more manageable to walk in than a heel. 

Deena is wearing Kelsi Dagger Suede Wedges, paired with a tie dye dress from Urban Outfitters. This gave her more height, but allowed her to still be comfortable. And you can't forget the famous Ray-Ban club-master sunglasses that never go out of style.

White Shirts and Flowy Pants

As we always say, Comfort is Key, and when working 8 hour days for 3 days straight, a pair of pajama type pants that are acceptable to wear out in public is the way to go. For the past few months drawstring pants have been the it trend. With flowy drawstring pants you can dress them up or down, for a shopping filled day or a girls night out, pairing them with either comfy tees or a fashion-forward blouse. They can also be paired with a variety of shoes like strappy sandals or point toe pigalles, the options are endless, so have fun with it.

Deena is wearing a casual yet chic ensemble by pairing a basic white tee from Brandy Melville with an intriguing geo print pant from J. Crew. To complete the look and tie back into the white tee, Deena threw on some white sandals from Urban Outfitters.

Shorts are your best friend during the summer. Whether they are denim or flowy, they are a great way to beat the heat. Shorts are an obvious, popular clothing item during the warmer months and switching it up by wearing flowy shorts or overall shorts instead of plain denim shorts- which will never go out of style- you are expanding your style and trying new things. 

Deena is wearing one her favorite combinations lately, overalls and a high neck t-shirt. Overalls can be a tricky item of clothing to pair other pieces with but by keeping it simple with a plain shirt, it becomes a very classic look.
