DENIM DRESS AND LOOPED PONYTAIL HAIRSTYLE

Old Navy Denim Button Front Dress and Looped Ponytail

As someone who leaves the house at precisely 8:45 AM and many days don’t get back until damn near 8:45PM, I’m always looking for pieces that can work overtime. Lately, I’ve been applying that same mindset to my beauty/hair routine – trying to find products and styles that are quick but still look polished after a long day running around the city. This new denim dress and the looped low ponytail I managed last week are both perfect examples.

SPRING NAUTICAL STYLE WITH TALBOTS

Spring Nautical Style with Talbots at South Street Seaport

If we’re being honest, this cold, blustery weather has me in some kind of mood. But if I’m looking for a silver lining – I found it on Saturday when Adam and I had an all but deserted South Street Seaport to ourselves and I took this white on white nautical-inspired look.

HOW TO STYLE GLASSES FOR SPRING DAY & DATE LOOKS: WITH VSP DIRECT


How to style glasses for a spring day look

I pride myself on the fact that the outfits seen here on The Steele Maiden always remain true to my real life. However, I noticed recently that there’s one very real part of me that rarely gets seen here. Which is a bad pun, because without them I can’t clearly see to the end of the next city block. I’m talking about eyeglasses, which I wear for distance (aka all the hours not spent behind a computer screen).. and yet you almost never see them here. It’s partially because they often catch a glare on the camera but more truthfully it’s because I guess I never think they look as cool as sunglasses for a day look or quite right with a ‘date look’. Silly, right? So today – I teamed up with VSP Direct to share how I wear my glasses casually for day and also for a simple spring date look.

STRIPED DRESS AND IVORY ANKLE BOOTS

Striped dress and ivory ankle boots

Stripes, denim, ankle boots.. they don’t call ’em classics for nothing. Truth be told, I wear some version of that trio a lot so when I can find a way to shake things up (even slightly) I do. Last weekend I opted for a slightly 90s take on the combo with this boxy denim jacket over a striped mini-dress, hoop earrings, and these instant cool-factor ivory ankle boots.

SPRING DRESSES WITH BANANA REPUBLIC

Banana Republic Spring Dresses

I spend most of winter in jeans and sweaters, so the moment that the weather breaks I can’t wait to switch into dresses. And if you’re planning to jumpstart your own spring wardrobe I’d said there’s 2 essential types of dresses you need. The occasion dress (fit for bridal showers, garden parties, and date nights) and the everyday dress (made for morning meetings, brunch plans and weekend wandering). Banana Republic just happens to have them both (and pssst.. they’re offering 40% off sitewide with code BRSPRING through 4/2).
