{Style Files} Kate Spade Fashion Week

in Inspiration on

Happy Friday! We made it through another work week!
Well done, ladies, well done.

Speaking of the work week, what a grind, right? Getting ready for work can be so hectic and I typically end up in a rut wearing the same clothes over and over. To help infuse a little fun into my week (what can I say, I am easily amused), I self-dubbed this week my “Kate Spade Inspired Fashion Week”. 

Yep, I have been channeling Miss Spade to inspire my wardrobe all week. I think of this style as whimsical, chic, and preppy. (I also think my co-workers are suddenly wondering why I am exclusively wearing stripes and polka dots!)

This self-proclaimed “Kate Spade Inspired Fashion Week” forced me to mix colors and prints that I normally wouldn’t pair and wear a few things from my closet that I had been overlooking for months. To ignite my inspiration, of course I checked out Pinterest for some whimsical eye candy.

Day 1: 
A Spring Holiday! Festive Green, Pink & Red 
Kelly green blouse with a long black skirt with red and pink stripes. The skirt has a silky look so in order to avoid feeling like a bridesmaid I added a jean jacket to dress it down. 
Day 2: 
Polka-Dot-Palooza 

Today was all about the polka dots- who knew I could pull out this many polka dots from my closet? This outfit felt chic and oh-so-girly with a sheer polka dot shirt, black and white polka dot skirt, and polka dot tights. I am still seeing spots…

Day 3: 
Preppy Flower Power
Green skirt, black and white striped shirt, a black cardigan, and BAM- a black flower belt.
Chunky pearls helped add that preppy chic look.
I am pretty sure I wore the ribbon shoes as a bridesmaid in 2003 and I have not worn them since, but I thought the ribbon added some Kate-Spade-Goodness.
 
Day 4: Navy Stripes & Navy Dots
Polka dot dress with a striped sweater. Ribbon belt brought the whimsy
 and the navy heels were super girly and chic. 
Kate Spade Purse and Shoes
Day 5: Pink Pants & Polka Dots
More polka dots paired with pink skinny jeans and a green sweater!
 Don’t you love those pink and green kate spade tights? I must get some for next winter!

All of these bright colors definitely helped to infuse some energy into my week! 
Have you ever channeled a designer and dedicated a week to a specific style?
I would love to hear your ideas!

    • Thanks! That was my favorite too. I had never worn the flower belt before because it always felt too big… but with Kate Spade in mind, it felt just right!
