If you are going to embrace one blouse trend this season, make it bell sleeves! Bell sleeves, like flare jeans, come in a variety of sized flares, ranging from a little to a lot of drama! Think of bell sleeves like an accessory that completes an outfit…no bracelet needed.

Bell-sleeved blouses add a punch of pizazz to any look, and can be paired with jeans {flared, cropped or skinny}, tucked into a pair of slacks for the office or worn with a skirt like I am in this post. I love the look of bell sleeves layered under a sleeveless cardigan or vest, too.

Here are a few of my favorite bell-sleeved blouses, in a variety of price points ::

I wore this look to New York Fashion Week. How fun is this Alice and Olivia mini-skirt?! This is a skirt that can be styled many different ways. It could also be paired with a chambray shirt, a pullover sweater and/or even a punch of color! {Be sure to size up at least one size maybe two in this skirt…it runs small!} Of course I love it with over the knee boots, but this mini skirt looks adorable with flats, and even a pump to change up the look.

Last but not least, how gorgeous is my hair style by Tresemme?! I am obsessed by this loose half-up/half down style. Before putting my hair up, my California-based stylist Katie Neutz, curled medium-szied sections with a small curling iron, let the hair cool and then brushed through the curls to creates lots of volume. I LOVED the effect! Katie incredible and works regularly with celebs like Kate Bosworth, Lea Michelle and Jennifer Lawrence. If only she could style my hair everyday!

Speaking of hair, I had my Indique hair extensions touched up just before leaving for New York City by the fabulous Alicia Igess. If you are in the Atlanta-area and thinking about extensions, I highly recommend getting hair from Indique and then installed by Alicia! {Just tell them I sent you!}

Stylishly yours,

P.S. I almost forgot to mention that my Tory Burch Fleming Convertable handbag is 30% off today with code FALL16. It’s also being price-matched at Nordstrom. This is a new bag purchase I made for NYFW and have found it to be SO practical!! I love the size {it fits everything you need} and that it can be dressed up or down, and go from day into night. It comes in two other gorgeous colors, too. If you are looking for an all-around amazing medium-sized bag for Fall {that can be worn year-round, too}, I highly recommend it!
