Believe me, I understand the struggle of looking at your closet and having no idea what to wear. Thisalways particularly seems to be a problem for me as the seasons change. Luckily, I have discovered afew items that easing my season transition confusion. Here are some outfits for inspiration or as we’regoing to call it on #offdutyonstyle, “Style Schemes”!

Sporty and Sleek:

I have been loving the sportswear inspired trend lately, but I always give trends my own personaltwist. By adding two of my consistent wardrobe staples, a leather skirt(https://www.missguidedus.com/faux-leather-mini-skirt-black)and some black booties(http://www.charlotterusse.com/product/Side-Zip-Chunky-Heel-Booties/306130.uts?cid=ps:nonbrand:Google&adpos=1o1&creative=78708760984&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=CjwKEAjw8bO3BRDp0bP_vL-7_lASJACL_d6wQMAXaxTi0UBUa-QnoMDTuQifvILanVyNj_nCrVxSlBoCi6_w_wcB), the outfit is dressed and edged up with my ownpersonal touch. I plan to stock up on choker necklaces(http://us.topshop.com/en/tsus/product/engraved-disc-choker-5164311?geoip=noredirect&cmpid=ppc_pla_US_ip&istCompanyId=da794a11-99cb-4206-8e52-61037452aeeb&istItemId=qmawwmalx&istBid=tztx)and reflective sunglasses(https://www.shopbop.com/leonard-matte-mirrored-sunglasses-illesteva/vp/v=1/1508938890.htm?currencyCode=USD&extid=SE_froogle_SC_usa&cvosrc=cse.google.ILLES30031&cvo_campaign=SB_Google_USD&s_kwcid=AL!3510!3!%7Bcreative%7D!%7Bmatchtype%7D!%7Bplacement%7D!%7Bnetwork%7D!!%7Bkeyword%7D&ef_id=Vu41fgAAALPnM0Hh:20160320053038:s)for this upcomingsummer since they provide an effortlessly cool vibe. Toss on a beanie and/or a jacket until theweather warms up a bit more! This is my current go-to look for a night out.

Desk to Date:

Off the shoulder tops (http://us.asos.com/ASOS-Off-Shoulder-Top-In-Structured-Knit/15qmgb/?iid=4855369&affid=14174&channelref=google+shopping&mk=abc&currencyid=2&gclid=CjwKEAjw8bO3BRDp0bP_vL-7_lASJACL_d6wzyMSXRdiwwMO7eAqHLiXI5q8WM7BnZnx1T32lEw3dxoCZFDw_wcB&mporgp=L0FTT1MvQVNPUy1PZmYtU2hvdWxkZXItVG9wLUluLVN0cnVjdHVyZWQtS25pdC9Qcm9kLw..) are hot right now and I am definitely a fan! Pairing them with midi skirts (http://www.charlotterusse.com/product/Tulle-Full-Midi-Skirt/321978.uts?cid=ps:nonbrand:Google&adpos=1o2&creative=78709024864&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=CjwKEAjw8bO3BRDp0bP_vL-7_lASJACL_d6wBEIoHJ4awOIfReMxNv5E9QHzoVIWGE6fUqjiFXZGjRoC7WDw_wcB)allows forthe dimensions to balance properly. Since this outfit is monochromatic, I love to add fun accessoriessuch as a statement necklace (http://www.charmingcharlie.com/rowena-filigree-necklace.html#color=light-seafoam) and a flirty purse. This is great for a day to night look from theoffice to a night on the town.

Boyfriend jeans (http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=32722076&color=106&cm_mmc=SEM-_-Google-_-PLA-_-82529881504product_type_l1w%26product_type_l2app%26product_type_l3jeans&adpos=1o7&creative=52048862224&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=CjwKEAjw8bO3BRDp0bP_vL-7_lASJACL_d6wHwf0fZYZX3WMMm_0ejJ0VnbBz3DwkWo4gJJE2Y6CLRoC9u7w_wcB) are a keyessential for spring. With a light wash and rips, they perfectly emulate spring’s warmth. This remainsconsistent with the floral top and the nude lace-up flats(http://www.charlotterusse.com/product/Bamboo-Lace-Up-Pointed-Toe-Flats/314707.uts?cid=ps:nonbrand:Google&adpos=1o1&creative=78708760984&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=CjwKEAjw8bO3BRDp0bP_vL-7_lASJACL_d6wa35VIYGWtAAHCJYqE8q4O1oelGLSTgo8TzJnUyUXHRoCx_7w_wcB) (I recentlypicked up a pair of these myself, they are very versatile!) I could not decide whether to put this outfitwith a trench coat or a utility jacket so it was lucky when I stumbled on this sort of mashup betweenthe two, but either would work!

Statements for Spring:

Okay, so this Alexander McQueen bomber jacket(http://www.farfetch.com/shopping/women/Alexander-McQueen-embroidered-bomber-jacket-item-11305796.aspx?fsb=1&utm_source=polyvore.com&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=Jackets%20Group%20C_desktop) might be around $3,000 but it is seriously beautiful. It reminded me of bubble gum andcotton candy, which made me instantly happy. Since it is out of my price range, I will admire it fromafar, but you can pick up bomber jackets at retailers like Topshop and Forever21 (which is where I gotmine). Using that as a statement piece, wear some ripped jeans(http://us.topshop.com/en/tsus/product/moto-washed-black-ripped-jamie-jeans-4637755?geoip=noredirect&cmpid=ppc_pla_US_ip&istCompanyId=da794a11-99cb-4206-8e52-61037452aeeb&istItemId=mxqwqxrxa&istBid=tztx), sneakers(http://www.eastbay.com/product/model:236472/sku:85139/adidas-originals-superstar-
