Fancy Tweed + Faded Denim.

Mixing something classically feminine with a more rugged piece is a fashion tale as old as time. (Maybe not quite, but you get the point.) Once you get the hang of it, matching up girly + tough can inject some interest into your outfits, and stretch your closet by allowing you to create new pairings.

For example, let’s take a metallic gray tweed jacket with bracelet sleeves and black piping– sounds quite country club/workweek chic. But it gets a bit of an edge when worn over faded black skinnies with a ripped knee + a super slinky camisole. After adding a pair of basic black suede pumps and a topknot, I had myself an outfit that could go the distance.

Make sure you come back on Thursday; I went to the salon this past weekend and changed the hair up a bit. Changing leaves, changing ombré. Plus I’ve got a few pictures to share from the wine walk. Such a fun time!

  1. I love the really simple color palette- or lack of color, LOL- but the texture mixing and girly and tough mixing is so cool, Ashley!

    GO ROYALS!

  2. Those are great basic pumps, Ashley! I actually need a new pair of black pumps- might have to get these! So cute!

  3. This look might be one of my faves of yours! You look GORGEOUS girl! I love the denim mixed with the tweed and lace cami look. I need to up my top knot game because I am totally terrible at doing them. Ha! I can do a a big bun, but top knot…not so much.

  4. I love every piece you are wearing here especially the blazer and cami. The pumps and jeans are mighty sexy, also. Gorgeous as usual.

  5. I can’t believe the Royals are in the World Series- how awesome for Kansas City!
    Can’t wait for you new hair debut. 🙂

  6. Fabulous jacket! Love it! And the little bit of lace peeking out is perfection. Can’t wait to see the updated do!
