I honestly never thought I'd be one to wear a jumpsuit and actually pull off the look somewhat successfully. But it turns out that I just haven't found the perfect jumpsuit that I feel comfortable and confident in until now. I've always loved the effortless and chic appeal of a simple jumpsuit on other women so I've searched high & low for one that fits me perfectly without making me look/feel short and stumpy. I've tried on many different styles from many different brands, but I instantly fell in love with this Stillwater 'Sunday Romper' the second I slipped it on. I styled the romper with some badass metallic blue Miista ankle booties and a Doma leather jacket for a casual Sunday out. But I could easily dress this baby up with some strappy heels and a cropped faux fur jacket for a night out with my girls. The possibilities are endless with this versatile black jumpsuit!!!

Versatility is key to a successful wardrobe. It's important to me that I'm able to wear most of my clothes year round (but that's only possible because I live in Southern California where the weather is typically beautiful all year long). I usually try to buy pieces that can be worn simply as is and then creatively layered for the chillier months. That way I can get the most bang for my buck! I mean...if you're going to spend a pretty penny on something, you should be able to wear it more than once a year!

I love to get creative and restyle my spring/summer pieces for fall/winter. And I find that maxi skirts are surprisingly perfect transitional pieces in my closet. 

This Daniel Rainn maxi already doubles as a dress so it really is the ultimate versatile piece! During the summers, I'd pull up the skirt to my chest over my bikini and simply belt it for a casual day by the pool or at the beach. For the cooler months, I style it as a skirt with a light cashmere sweater, a leather jacket, and some little booties. If it was colder, I probably would have thrown on some fleece-lined tights for an extra layer of warmth.
