Whenever I think holiday outfits for gatherings with family, I think of something comfortable yet stylish. With Thanksgiving coming up and Christmas right around the corner, it’s only appropriate to show a look that is cozy yet chic. This look is stylish enough to make a sophisticated statement for the holidays, yet conducive to getting relaxed, especially after a big meal.

The jeans and sweater combo make this outfit cozy yet seasonably appropriate and chic for the holidays. The sweater is one of my fav kinds of sweaters to wear during the colder weather months, a sleek turtleneck. They’re warm, figure-hugging, and versatile as they go with many different clothing items. Unlike some sweaters, the fitted turtleneck doesn’t come across looking baggy and frumpy. I paired it with comfortable and stretchy high waisted flared jeans. Stretchy is very important for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Lastly, to enhance the outfit I’m wearing beige booties, carrying a beige handbag, gold earring and a gold and beige bling belt.

I love versatile outfits like this one that serve to make a fashion statement and keep you comfortable and warm at the same time. What’s you fav thing to wear for the holidays?

With many people working remotely or doing a hybrid work arrangement, the need for comfy yet professional clothing is in demand. It’s easy and possible to have the best of both worlds with looks like the one I’m wearing above. The dress can be worn by itself on warmer days or with a cardigan for colder days. This outfit is also perfect for running errands and the dress can be paired with a blue jean jacket for weekends.

The outfit was easy to coordinate and contains pieces that can be worn with a variety of other wardrobe items and for different occasions. I decided to do a monochrome pink look but the dress would also work well with a cream cardigan. I find that with lounge wear dresses the key to finding a comfy one is making sure that it’s stretchy. In terms of the cardigan, I chose a waterfall cardigan due to its looseness, making it comfortable for days around the house. The looseness of this style also works well with this dress as it doesn’t take away from the dress, but complements it with the open front. I’ve also worn this cardigan with a top and leggings for another work from home look. To complete the look I wear pink slippers and simple pink jewelry.

When it comes to work from home for me it’s important to look professional and put together while also staying comfortable. This in combination with the warmth this outfit brings makes it a perfect work from home fall look.

Now that fall is almost upon us it’s appropriate to start thinking about outfits that can easily transition from summer to fall. The outfit I’m wearing does just that with items such as ankle pants and a button down that can be worn for warmer weather with sandals and a wick bag. They can also be worn for the fall with a blazer, pumps, and the matching leather handbag. Dressed for either season, this look is polished and professional and makes the transition between seasons smooth and simple.

The overall outfit does not change much except for the accessories worn for the two seasons. For the summer I match the wick wedge heel sandals with a wick handbag and wear the button by itself to stay cool in warmer temps. The ankle pants and button down shirt offer just the right amount of coverage to stay cool when outside and warm for colder buildings. The fall look is complete with a blazer for cooler mornings and evenings and milder daytime temps. I cinch the waist with a leopard print belt and match it up with the pumps and and leather handbag.

Transitioning your wardrobe for the change in seasons doesn’t have to be complicated with seasonally versatile items like a button down and ankle pants. What are your favorite transitional wardrobe items?

Stylish, accentuating, and figure-hugging, all words that come to mind when I think of a Bodycon dress. Bodycon dresses are one those versatile wardrobe items that can be worn for many different occasions and in many different ways. Above I show 3 different ways that they can be styled for a professional appearance.

Wearing a belt with a Bodycon dress can define the waist and allows the wearer to enhance the outfit with matching accessories. I chose to coordinate the dress with a lighter pink belt, shoes, and handbag. Another idea is to pair the dress with printed accessories like polka dot or animal print since the dress is solid.

A blazer is always a good option for a completed look that is also slimming. The blazer and Bodycon dress combo is great for meetings, presentations, or interviews. I pull together the black blazer and pink dress with both colors in my pumps. The overall look is stylish while also maintaining professionalism.

The Bodycon dress can also stand alone as it’s professional and statement making without needing any enhancements. The one I’m wearing in particular is office appropriate given its higher neckline and length. It allows you to feel feminine and well put together at work and can transition to an after work look given its versatility. What’s your favorite way to style a Bodycon dress?

I love the versatility of linen pants as they can be worn for a variety of occasions. Linen pants have become my new go to bottom for the summer. You can dress them up for a day at the office or dress them down for a day out on weekends. They can also be worn as an alternative to skirts or shorts as they keep your legs warm in colder buildings and they’re light enough to stay cool in the heat.

For work I pair the pants with a collared button down and wedge sandals. The button down gives the pants a professional look and wedge heel can transition from work to after work while also giving the outfit a summery feel.

For the weekend I pair the pants with a top and leopard print flats and jewelry. The top is casual and relaxed and it is perfect for staying cool while going out on weekends or for spending time outside in your backyard or at a park. This outfit is also good for occasions like showers or bachelorette parties where you don’t want to too over or underdressed.

Versatile wardrobe items, such as linen pants are great investments to any wardrobe due to their ability to be worn for a variety of occasions. Not to mention they are very trendy right now and are a great way to stay cool and stylish all at once.

Warmers temps, birds chirping, longer days, these are all sure signs that spring is here. Another sure sign of spring is brighter colors. Bright colors seem to be really popular this season and I’m here for it! I love wearing brighter colors as a way to embrace the change in seasons and brighten my mood. I also like to mix and match them with difference prints as a way to add more statement pieces to my attire.Many tend to shy away from prints and bright colors by themselves, let alone mixed together. When done right, you have yourself a stylish and chic outfit that’s a great way to make a fashionable statement that’s sure to turn heads.

They key to styling bright colors and prints is balancing them out with solid pieces. I pair the bright green pants with leopard print accessories and a white button down. The button down lets the pants and accessories do the talking while adding a polished and professional element to the look. The three tone purse enhances the leopard print accessories.

Embrace the longer days and sunshine with a brighter hues and fun prints.

I’ve been working from home exclusively since the pandemic began and I had to make the transition from going to an office everyday to making my home my office. A big part of that transition was finding clothes that were comfortable enough to wear around the house yet still enabled me to look decent enough to be seen on camera. Trying to find that balance was a challenge at first but outfits like this dress and cardigan combo make it easy.

The outfit is versatile and could also be worn to the office with a pair of heel or flats. On days when it‘s colder out I pair it with the cardigan, while when it’s warmer out I wear it as is. The dress is stretchy making it cozy for home while also looking structured with the knot tie in the center. I pair the outfit with leopard print jewelry to coordinate with the black while adding a pop of color and design.

Some may be wondering why I put so much effort into a work from home look. Studies show that dressing up signals productivity to your brain and this causes it to go into business mode. Keeping on your pajamas signals rest and relaxation and makes it harder for the wearer to make that transition from sleep mode to work mode. Hence what you wear has big implication on how you feel.

Cheers to the weekend! For many in the workplace, Fridays bring about a more casual vibe and dress code. While jeans may be acceptable this day of the work week, finding pieces to pair with them that are casual while not looking too casual can be a challenge, however that does not have to be the case. This look easily transitions its wearer from the work week to the weekend. It’s relaxed while looking polished and professional at the same time.

The key to dressing for casual Fridays is pairing office appropriate pieces like the blazer and heels with more casual items like jeans. I show two footwear options, heels and sneakers as this outfit easily goes with both. The heels are appropriate if you still have something more formal like a meeting to attend, while the sneakers are fitting if you want to be comfortable and casual while also looking well put together. To complete the look I’m wearing pink pearls and carrying a pink to coordinate with the blazer and shoes.

Command respect, while looking casual and chic in this Friday fashion forward look for casual Fridays.

I like that the high waisted style of bottoms is very trendy right now, as this style is very flattering on many figures and accentuates the waist and hips. It gives women a feminine and classy look. However, for some this trend can be intimidating. Well fear no more, because when done right this style can create the look of an proportional hourglass shape on its wearer. The key to achieving the hourglass shape if making sure the skirt stops at the smallest part of your mid-section. For some that might be right at the waist, while for others who are be bigger in the middle, it may be right underneath the bust area. It’s also key to pair these skirts with a top that works with the skirt to create the hourglass look. For most shapes, a fitted top works great to add proportion to the look. For those that are bigger in the middle, you can opt for a more relaxed fitted high waisted skirt, like an a-line skirt paired with a looser (but not too loose) fitting blouse like the outfit pictured below.

For my look, I decided to pair the high waisted skirt with a fitted puff sleeve blouse. The puff sleeves add proportion to the top, while the fitted skirt accentuates my bottom half. For accessories, I paired the clothes with printed pumps that have both black and pink in them to bring the 2 colors together. I also added a bright pink bag to match the top and layered the look with a black coat to balance out the brightness of the top.

High waisted skirts can give you a sophisticated look that is polished and professional while also figure flattering.
