Mid Week Muse: Splurge, Steal, Style v. 2

splurge (also in blue) // steal // style: dress, earrings, shoe, clutch

Welcome to another Mid Week Muse: Splurge, Steal, and Style.  This week, my "muse" is this equipment dress.  It's a popular style that's had several color and fabric variations, but the cut is amazing, and it's perfect to dress up or down.  The only problem (in my book), is the rather steep price tag.  Enter, this week's "steal."  The only appreciable difference is the v-neck in the front and the olive green color.  Personally, I prefer the v- neckline, and you all know I love a good green.  The best part, however, is the price tag.  In fact, this "steal" is even on sale.  Act fast, and smile graciously when everyone compliments your style and price savvy.

NOW, Morgan and I are so excited to share our favorite "muse" from last week - Erica from Casually Styled.

We loved that Erica's muse was the perfect blend of high and low end pieces.  Who says you can't pair chambray shorts from Loft with Valentino heels?  We also love that the base of the outfit is simple, but the whole look is taken to a new level with bold accessories.  Bring on the nail polish, chunky gold jewelry, and those Valentino studs...
