Pink Lady Xmas















jacket-Le Tote, dress/necklace-Anthropologie(similarish here and here), boots-Zara(similar here), gloves-Neiman Marcus(similar here), cuff-Vintage

I bought this dress last spring on super-sale and have been keeping it "on hold" to wear this holiday season. The pink-and-grey plaid is festive without being obnoxious, and this floral bomber from Le Tote was the perfect topper! There's definitely a Pink Lady vibe going on here, which is a fun contrast to the feminine/preppy plaid. I pushed this look toward the harder edges with the cuff and studded gloves. But, the big takeaway from this ensemble is that there are no limits to creativity for holiday dressing. Sure, you can go the red n' green route, but if you want to really push your style aesthetic then try for the unexpected, yet keep things fun and festive! Need inspiration? Then check out some of my past holiday dressing posts: here, here, and here!

On a sidenote: this necklace, also from Anthro, was purchased YEARs ago, like 5+ and it so beautifully picks up on the passive, yellow and green shades in the plaid, which goes to show that when you have a long-standing "relationship" with a retailer you are able to build up your own style over the years through their offerings and acquire pieces that "collaborate".

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's  Dallas .  It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show.  Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic!  I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit.  Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here  I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here .  Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set. Here's a referral link to also become an ambassador for discounts ...
