The MAXI Dress!!!! How to dress it for any Occasion

The MAXI Dress!!!

If you know how you can wear it you will love it!

This is one dress that I would recommend getting in petite if you are under 5"4.  Or you can spend the money and get it hemmed. I also recommend trying this on as I have learned from my own experience that once you get this home and then realize.. I am really that short?

The Maxi dress is something you can throw on and go and look fabulous! Since I had my knee surgery in May I have turned to the maxi dress time and time again because it covers my knee scar and the swelling and I look great! My niece wore one this weekend and looked adorable! We are the same height so she did get the petite and looked so cute! You can wear it anywhere, anytime and with anything! I personally think Old Navy has the best Maxi's and at a great price (love my blue and white one).  I now even love them more then shorts! Here are some examples where the maxi can be for any occasion.

Need Something sporty to wear?

This was a great dress for me a few weeks ago when I went to my sons baseball game and then had a birthday party right after that. I did not feel like I was overdressed for the game but not under dressed for the party! Who does not love a dress that you can wear a sneaker with? I actually wore mine with a sporty Nike flip flop. 

This style shown is from Old Navy and is a hi low style.. This would be great to wrap a blue blouse around the waist.

Wedding?

Yes a maxi dress can be worn to a wedding. Dress it up. Wear a gorgeous black strapless style. There are weddings where the maxi will not work but if it is a fun wedding you don't want to be too formal. Great strappy heel or a awesome clutch. This dress lose the hat.. pair with a blue strappy heel and a blue clutch. Put your hair up and you are ready to go to that wedding and look fabulous!

Party? Pool or Backyard?

This pretty multi color dress! Put your swimsuit under this so you are ready for anything!

In this picture pair with the strappy casual sandal and sunglasses! 

Maxi Dresses are a favorite because of their versatility, comfort and they are flattering!

Now the the maxi with the side slit is also very very trendy and here are a few looks and a few tips on wearing this gorgeous new take on the Maxi.

If wearing a slit maxi pair it with a pair of heels. Either a strappy sandal or a cute little bootie.

Maxi skirts are best with crisp blouses or jersey knits. Pair your maxi split skirt with a hat and a strappy sandal and don't forget your trendy bucket bag.

Do you want a more sophisticated look with your maxi split skirt? Try the more wool or tweed or heavier cotton works best. Pair it with a cashmere sweater.

If you are wearing the maxi slit try not to show too much of another body part. There is a differenece between looking trendy and looking trashy.

Looking Great While Wearing Denim Shorts

How to look great while wearing denim shorts!

Denim shorts can sometimes look sloppy and looks like you are settling in to paint a room. While a khaki or chino short shows a more polished look here are some ways that wearing the oh so comfortable denim short will still have you looking like the fashionista you are!

Denim shorts are most likely the one piece of clothing every women owns and let's face it denim in general is a versatile clothing items that can be dressed up or down.

1. Wear a print long Cardigan or Kimono ( as shown)

This look pulls off the denim short with the gorgeous fringe kimono and the graphic tee along with the little bootie for an adorable look.

2. Pop with a red!

I love red and denim and again a great red and blue look!

Wear heels with your denim shorts as this dresses up the outfit.

3.Leopard Print Tee with white converse Sneakers

This look will show that you like to dress a little dressier while still being casual and not dressing over the top.

4.Graphic Tee

This is a great look because this pulls a casual outfit all together. I love the tees from Lauren Conrad and Rock Republic from Kohl's.

Not sure about wearing heels but wear a little blue flat..

5.Mix Prints

This is a awesome look as I love a striped shirt loose..

Combine the striped shirt with the animal print clutch.

Look at the accessories Sunglasses, heels, bracelets... Really bring this all together!

6. Mix Textures!

What is so great about this look? Personally I hate the purse.. I think this looks sloppy.. hey just me!

-Lace shirt with the denim shorts... love the animal print heel and the purse bring in the hot fringe of the season.

7. Denim Vest

The denim vest is coming back and here is an adorable way to add this to your summer wardrobe!

This look pair the denim with denim with a gladiator sandal for a warrior look... I like my gladiator sandal a little shorter then to my thigh.

Happy 4th of July!!! ( Well not yet)

July 4th!

July 4th is coming and I love to wear red, white and blue. 

I think all through summer this is a classic look. 

I always pair these colors together in the summer. There are some 4th of July cute tee shirts as well...\

1. Prints..

Prints of blue and white.. Pair with a red shoe or have a red purse to pair with this classic blue and white look!

2.White Pants;

Pair the white pants with a red and white or blue and white tee. Love the white jeans and the navy tee with the red jacket.  The great thing about red, white and blue is the pieces are great together but can be worn apart anytime of year. 

Here is what I can do...

I think the striped top or a solid red, white or blue tee can be purchased anywhere... and if you want a pair of great jeans.. Old Navy has awesome jeans for every figure! Here are some jackets that will work well for the red, white and blue look.

3. Classic White Dress;
This is a great look pair a white dress with a bold red shoe (or Blue) and get a great bag in red, white or blue.

This is how I can save you money.... I am a personal Stylist! 

I love to see the savings I am giving my customers. I have clients that have money but why be stupid and waste it on something you will wear a few times. I may be crazy but am I the only one that hates wearing clothing more then a few times. Except for jeans.... When I was working in a office I was told by a friend that she has never seen me in the same outfit twice. I thought that was a compliment.
I can help you achieve that. 
I offer a free wardrobe assessment. I will help you with you currently have in your closet and put together looks for you...I also can be hired to shop for you either at stores or at my store. Just email me with questions! I have references available upon request.

Invited to Outdoor Wedding? I have Sandals that are a must have!

Invited to an outdoor Wedding?

What shoes do I wear?

I love outdoor weddings and they are always so beautiful. Even though there is a lot that can go wrong with an outdoor wedding sometimes wearing a great shoe can prepare you for anything. 

I can imagine getting you stiletto heel stuck in the grass or on the seem of a deck. Here are a Sandal Styles that you will look fabulous!

Outdoor weddings can be sophisticate as well as a anything goes style. I know when I get an invention to an outdoor wedding I think of a wedding by the water or on a golf course as others may think the woods and a anything goes for footwear and maybe it is even optional. 

We need a shoe for the wedding that will stand the test of gravel, Sand, Stones, Grass. Do you spend the $$ on a pair of sandals that will get ruined by the sand or the grime of the outdoors. These styles will be gorgeous for the wedding and then take you to the reception.

1. Open Toe Wedge Sandal

These are adorable and I love the metallic of this sandal. When doing my research these were styles that "will not break the bank"

I love reading articles like this because I know I can do better. Either I have (the concept) of the style in my store; Or I can look for the style to get these cheaper!

2.Leather with Wood Wedge:

This is a gorgeous style and I love the nude color for these.

3.Chunky Woven Sandal

I love these woven sandal heel.

4. Espadrille Tie Ankle Sandal.

This is adorable and very casual. So remember the wedding you are attending. I would only wear these to a confirmed very casual wedding.

5.ASOS Sling Back Floral Ballet Flat:

This is adorable and I love a pop on the foot!

These styles will keep you looking great but on most of them who wants to pay over $100. The best deal is the last one can't really beat that. I can help you do these little switches... Look at the money you will save. Even just me doing this a few times I can show you how to get the same in style looks for a fraction of the cost. The tips and knowledge I can teach you will save you money for years to come.

Classic Power Suit

The classic power suit!

I remember when a few people said why do you sell suits they are so out of fashion. I replied suits are never out of fashion. Do you want them to consist of your entire work wardrobe? No. Combination of everything creates style and suits are great for weddings, funerals, job interviews and you want to wear it for a important meetings or presentations. I remember I wore a classic Navy pants suit for a wedding with a bold gold chain necklace and a black silk Cami and I received so many complements. When buying a suit keep it in style. 

So does wearing a suit bring back memories of Hilary Clinton or you dad wearing his navy suit and tie... well here is a new way to look at suits and want to make you wear one for just about any occasion.

So the classic suit is getting a makeover with prints and necklaces. These suits will even make you look like a boss with not even trying.

Prints are going to be in style. This style has a swing coat with a wide leg crop pant.

These suits are a classic colors with a twist. The blue suit with the bandeau is a sexy look. My favorite is the classic white suit with the red blouse and black sandals which screams summer. For a more corporate look pair with a black peep toe. The laender suit is stunning with the classic blue and white striped shirt. Cute silver shoes with a chunky fashion necklace.

Now these.. In my opinion these are not really a option. But you are going to see these everywhere and maybe they will catch on? I know I hate seeing someone at the grocery store and someone has their pink hello kitty pj pants!

The double breasted suit is coming back and that is great for business! Love this cobalt suit and the tobacco brown suit is just gorgeous! The brown suit has a casual look with the white sneaker

This next suit has summer written all over it. It combines 2 trends in one. The shorts suit and the classic black and white is gorgeous and come on... this can really take you to any occasion. Girls night out or even to a classic summer cocktail party.

Here is another black an white classic suit. If you know me well... I love white suits!

Tweed suit are gorgeous and this style has a summer look because of the shorts!

I would love to pick out a classic suit for your wardrobe! At least have one!

I am a professional stylist... I offer a free wardrobe assessment in person or via skype.

CROP TOP Debate! What the heck was this mom Thinking!

Hi all!!!!

Sorry I am still recovering from my Knee Surgery! 

I fell the other day and was up early to head down to my surgeon. Everything is ok but today was one of the few days I was watching the today show.  Since I sell clothing. for a living some people order clothing from China and it is disaster! Some people order their wedding dresses from Vendors in China... I have a story for you later!

So this Mom from Huston ordered this top for her 16 year old daughter for $4.99!!! Great price but at 16 lets show some class! I do not have a daughter but I have a great niece and I can not even imagine my niece buying this for her. With this crop top do we know how big the girl is. Is she busty? All we know it will fit the cat. Seriously. 

I think that parents of young girls need to wake up!!! I remember being rebellious and wanting to wear what I wanted but I learned very early if you want to attract a certain boyfriend or possible spouse than show some class. This is just my opinion.

FALL FASHION TRENDS!!! 2015

Fall Fashion 2015!!!!

Here it is the beginning of June and I am talking about fall fashion! As you get to know me I am obsessed with fall fashion!!!  I look forward to July every year because I start to gear up for the fall and winter clothing season! That is why I do love what I do because I can start the fall fashion looks early! I think most people think I am crazy for thinking of fall fashion. In reality the fall fashion begins long before the last season ends!

Here is what we can look forward to for Fall Fashion Trends!

I always love to talk and blog about fall!!! Main reason is you can find great bargains and get ahead on trend for cheap!!!!

So what can we look forward to?

1. Bring on the BLING!!!

Yes bling.. I like a little bling and just recently I bought some great jewelry items that are a little bit more loud then what I would usually wear but I am loving it!

So bold jewelry is back and we will see a femine, sparkly design that we will see in earrings and broaches. Nothing like a gorgeous black turtleneck (which is also big for fall 2015) with a bold sparkly broach!

2.Lady Loafers?  Stacked Kitten Heel

This heel is a wide smaller heel. Designers are looking in making this heel look great instead of or an addition to your wardrobe. I think it may been hard to love this style I am speaking for myself but I will give it a try.. at least one pair. Designers are making this style of shoe look cool :)

3. Carwash Pleates

These are the wide version of the popular fringe.  These just took off after the fall runways shows. I really love the skirt as it does need to be done right as it can get frumpy quickly.

4. STOMP!!! (Heavy chunky Boots)

So what is this and what does this mean! Well designers are stepping up to the harsh past winters we have had so we can keep our feet dry and warm and look great! It may take some convincing to get me on board with this. So this "stomp" boot design so we can look fashionable to "STOMP" around the snow...  They think they are black they are high fashion... 

5. Happy Hemlines? 

This hemline has a bounce or flounce to it. It is carefree and "happy"

All these skirts do look like they are smiling and you will be to when you wear these! I love this silhouette as it does wonders for any shape. They can be worn at the office, evening or even casual wear. Just as the pencil skirt says a certain vibe this does as well.

6. Furry Feet! ( Yes footwear that has fur on them)

Some of these shoes look over the top but coming from a hockey mom these will keep me warm in the cold cold rink in the middle of winter!  These are all over the runway for the fall and winter season. These will be a conversation piece and a focal point to any outfit! Try to keep one furry clothing piece to one.. don't want to add a fur coat people may mistake you for being Russian.

7. Gray Suits

This is a classic color for a suit and it is just as important as black in my opinion. The saying for this trend is the "50 shades of gray suits"  I think we heard enough of the "50 shades of gray" for everything.  Gray will be a huge part for Fall 2015!!  You can find great deals on gray suits! 

8. High waist pants/ Skirts

So the waist is claiming well above the belly button for this season. Just hoping Mom jeans stay in the grave! The high waist will make you look lean and long. and what we all want... TINY WAIST!!!!

9. One Shoulder:

We seen this in the summer season but it carries over to the winter in style!

This fall we will see dresses and gowns and even coats with a one shoulder style.

10. Plaid

I actually always like a little plaid for the fall season! Does the Burberry Plaid ever go out of style? The plaid on the runway is red plaid...... Red is classic color for a plaid design. 

Great addition to add to black as always black is all over the runway!

Each week I will get you ready for fall.... If you need help! I am a personal stylist! I do offer a free wardrobe assessment and I offer various options to help you with a great wardrobe at low cost!  You need just a few items that work together and not a endless wardrobe... but hey who does not want that... at the prices I sell my items you can have a huge wardrobe!
