Ask Velvet: The Perfect Weekend Outfit

Q: What’s your idea of a perfect summer weekend outfit?  – Liz from Austin, TX
A: The weekend is all about errands, lunch dates with friends and feeling comfortable for two days while you’re away from the office. For that reason, we love weekend outfits that are relaxed, stylist and low-key. The weekend is all about casual dressing and that is why wearing a long maxi skirt or dress is our idea of the perfect weekend outfit. A maxi dress is comfortable and breezy and can be worn anywhere from the beach to the city. This outfit can also easily transition with ease from comfortable day-wear to the perfect date-night outfit by adding a few beaded accessories, a belt and a jacket. It’s the take-anywhere outfit that is stylist and perfect for any summer outing!

Alice + Olivia and Velvet meet

Over the weekend I was walking down Madison Avenue and spotted these two! I had absolutely no idea who they were…just loved their style and the hats.
I could not resist asking them for a picture in a pair of Velvet sunglasses. They were very gracious. It was Stacey Bendet and another gal of Alice and Olivia! The Velvet Joie looks hot on her friend! Thanks Stacey and friend! You ROCK!
