Sena Time
I have a love/hate relationship with maxi skirts — not to be mistaken with maxi dresses for which I am always a fan. Being a girl with a toosh, I’ve always been a little self-conscious that maxi skirts only emphasize the area that I usually try to cover up. And then this salmony Sena skirt landed in my fingertips.
Due to my fear of the maxi skirt posterior enhancement, I was initially a bit apprehensive about wearing the silky number. But then I put it on. Rear fear went out the window. Flattering silhouette came billowing forth. A new favorite has entered my wardrobe and it’s not in the shape of skinny jeans, ankle boots, or anything black. Sound the alarms!
And if that’s not interesting enough for you, then perk those ears forward because Sena is offering one of you readers a skirt for your very own sidewalk trotting! Oh, but it gets better. If pink isn’t your color then perhaps you’d like to choose from the nine other colors it comes in!? You lucky duckies! Here’s what you gotta do to enter to winny binny.

Matching the Sidewalk
Some people approach an outfit on a grey day by wearing as many bright colors as possible. I’m the exact opposite. I, without fail, end up matching my ensemble with the sidewalk beneath my feet and the grey clouds above my head. Yesterday was pretty overcast, and as you can see I went completely overcast with my look; but to give a little oomph to the dreary day/outfit I went with subtle prints and textures. Who knew leopards would get along with preppy tablecloths so well?

The Essential
Ok, how have I gone this long without a white blazer? I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to switch out the basic black for a crisp white, especially since they both go with just about everything!
When I was putting all my clothes into boxes last week, I made sure to keep the essentials out so they’d be easily accessible during the two weeks that I’m forced to live without a closet (painful). Never before did I think that a white blazer would be a Sonia essential but oh, how it is. I only blog about 2-3 outfit posts a week (as you’re well aware) but let me just say this blazer has made its way into almost all of my daily outfits ever since I received it a few weeks ago. So if you’re aren’t picking up on the message I’m trying to portray here, allow me to lay it out more clearly: if you don’t already own a white blazer, go out and buy one this very second. Seriously, run…don’t walk!

Repeat Offender
This is essentially just a spring rendition of my go-to uniform consisting of a tailored blazer, comfy t-shirt, skinny jeans and a pair of ankle boots; simple, easy, and effortless both in mind and silhouette. Ever since I brought white jeans back into my life, I can’t get enough of them! While I can only really wear them once before having to put them in the wash – such is the life of a New Yorker with a cuddly dog – I’ve found that I reach for them almost as often as I reach for my black skinny jeans, and we all know how much I love those.
As I continue to pack for my big move and am forced to divide my wardrobe into pieces that I’ll wear to pieces that can be put away in a box, these white jeans will most certainly stay on the top of my suitcase. But the point of buying clothes is to love them and wear them, so I have no shame in knowing I’ll be victim to some outfit repeats in the next two weeks.
