Weekend Wear

When it comes to shopping for clothes, I usually prioritize shopping for things I can wear to work. Ever since we had a warm spell last week, however, I just want all the shorts. Here are a few that I love:

JCrew Factory 3″ leopard print basket weave short– Perfection.

These JCrew striped shorts are statement but cool at the same time.

I’m curious about these trendier elastic waist “boardwalk shorts” from JCrew Factory.

These fun “Richmond Shorts” from Boden would really make an outfit out of plain tee shirt and flip flops.

These Loft embroidered chambray shorts look like a great alternative to a basic jean short.

But you do need a basic jean short like these from the Loft.

How many shorts does one person need, you might ask…

Holiday Party Attire: Daytime Affairs

Holiday celebrations, annual get togethers with friends, or daytime work parties create a lot of outfit opportunities in December. For daytime holiday parties either at work or around town, I need plaid, metallics, festive patterns, and some seasonal mixed media.

Outfit 1

Holiday Outfit 1

Outfit number one is a statement maker, but around the holidays, I think more is always more. I think these pieces make an impact together, but can be worn separately throughout the season for several outfits. I have and love this super soft plaid shirt from JCrew Factory. The fun metallic skirt from Banana provides texture and formality contrast (this from JCrew factory is also festive, or there are some shiny pants and a similar skirt from Loft). The tights are DKNY and the shoes are Vince Camuto.

Outfit 2

For a whimsical but slightly sleeker look, it would be great to do a non-ugly holiday sweater with a fashion forward pant. Something like this sweater from the Loft (it’s hard to tell but it’s white and navy), another fun Loft option, or a fun fair isle pattern. Even though it’s very trendy, the drapey pant can be both comfortable and flattering. This look would also be great with a velvet or faux leather pant. And then finish it with a classic metallic pointy toe pump or another neutral pump in your closet.

Outfit 3

Outfit number three is a far cozier and casual look, great for a cold day. A cable sweater dress like this one from the Gap can hide a multitude of sins (or christmas cookies) and a cable sweater is festive by default. Pairing it with flat booties and cozy tights makes it extra easy. Top it with an infinity scarf and you’re all set!

Don’t forget: the key to any holiday outfit is the holiday earrings!
