1 Dress 6 Styles

It's the first day of November, a new month, new week and so close to the end of this year. Let's make it good, shall we?!

I'm going to start with a pretty dress that comes at a pretty price and flatters all body shapes and sizes. I'm going to style it several ways sure to fit any occasion and personality.
This dress in a small floral print with lots of color, a waist seam and ruffled hem gives you so many options.

Fashion is what you buy.

Style is what you do with it!

THIS DRESS

Add a statement belt - This wide belt is going to be worn a ton!

Add a sleeveless sweater & Clogs

Tip: pull from one of the colors in the print to compliment

A blazer really makes for a sharp office look.

Keep warm adding a cozy sweater in a bright color

Go for an edgy look with a Moto jacket and combat boots.

Personally, I find a fur vest to be the best winter accessory!

Friday Favorites: Sleeveless Sweaters

TGIF! Soon I'll be able to write TGI-Fall but not quite yet folks. Simmer down all you pumpkin lovers it's still hot as the dickens outside.

Fun Fact: I hate all things pumpkin flavored - which is a shame b/c Trader Joes will flavor just about any food item with pumpkin spice this time of year.

Since college I've been wearing and layering sleeveless knits. I love them because they bring the warmth but in a shapely, moderate way. I have and always will live in the South and a full on sweater just isn't needed very often here. Ease of movement is very important to me too and being petite I find long sleeves cumbersome. When I was in the office I wore knit shells over my crisp collared shirts all the time, often toped with a blazer.

I'm ecstatic that sleeveless sweaters are out in plethora this season to wear solo when they weather's just right and for layering in the cold!

Here are some favorites ...

also in white

also in rust

Friday Favorites: Cardigans

TGI-Summer! I'm now the proud owner of 2 cardigans. Gals are taken back by this because it's a piece worn often and housed in multiples in most closets.

I've always just preferred the structure of a blazer or jacket.

Recently, I've discovered that I don't mind a cardigan sweater that has the following:

very thick knit

natural fabric, cotton or wool

detail like a collar or puff sleeve

cropped length

These design elements give a structured, warm and pretty fit.

Personally, I don't care for thin knits because the quality doesn't tend to last and long lengths because they overwhelm, cling and shorten my stature.

Here are some cute cardigans perfect for the upcoming collar temperatures ...
