I know, I know. We’ve all seen the ubiquitous “banded” skirt, but I feel like this one is different. No? I don’t know, maybe I’m just partial to metallics, but I also think this particular skirt is more flattering and a little more classy than the typical banded skirt we see all the time.  And although I usually try and steer away from being too “matchy matchy”, I couldn’t help but put these two pieces together – I just liked the casual look of the tee with the semi-fancy skirt. And the turquoise sweater was just to mix things up. What do you all think? Would you wear it?!

And since I’ve been traveling so much lately, I’ve been making an extra effort to pack SUPER lightly and have all my essentials as organized and readily-accessible as possible! This clutch by GiGi New York, coupled with my Lo & Sons OMG bag, have been the perfect solution! It’s the perfect size for my wallet, phone, checkbook, lip gloss, etc. This particular clutch is part of their LIMITED edition line and will only be available for a few more weeks. so you should jump on it if you want one!

And guess what?! Good news for YOU… My friends over at GiGi New York have agreed to offer you all 20% off with code “BRIGHTON” at checkout. The code will be valid for one month only starting today!
