Fashion and style tips for real people who want to add a bit of affordable glamour to every day life

Pin It!

Now this is a statement look! Bright orange and look at those pins? You can capture this look with any jacket and stand out by adding your own pins. Look in thrift stores, there are usually lots of these in the cases, and pick a few that have a similar color in stones, size and metal. Gold with gold, silver with silver. Turn a ho hum jacket into a wow!

Cap It!

When it’s cold outside one way to keep warm is to wear a hat or in this case a cap! I love this look which anyone can wear. This is Chanel but these caps can be found everywhere and to me, add a snap to your style. Personalize with a pin in the center of the cap and just watch how compliments you get!

Check This

This sophisticated pairing is very unexpected but works because the blouse has a lot of the black that is also in the check of the skirt. If you are going to try this look, make sure that a predominant color, in this case black, is in both garments. The boots work with the length of the skirt which is just below the knee. A bit edgy and very, very French!

White Leather

How lovely is this outfit? The white leather jacket provides an edginess to the floral print dress which makes this a very feminine look. Notice the skin tone shoes which allow the feet to disappear and paired with the taupe tote it is absolutely the definition of chic. So, if you love long dresses, go ahead and wear them like this!

Ski!

A ski sweater is a classic look for winter and will never go out of style. This wardrobe item is up-scaled with the fabulous shoes and black cigarette pants and is finished off with the turtle-neck all in black which makes the sweater pop! This will last forever so if you like this look buy a good sweater that looks great on you and take it from the slopes to the city.

Salute!

Military is everywhere right now and makes anyone look tailored and put together but the coats in stores are wildly expensive. Try a thrift or military surplus store to find a coat that speaks to your aesthetic. The leather leggings don’t distract from the coat’s strong statement and the red boots add a feminine touch. This look is never out of style.

Back to School

The Letterman jacket is very au courant and can be found in thrift, vintage or consignment shops for a song. The floral skirt here makes the look more feminine and notice the length which allows the black booties to work without making the legs look bulky.

Winter Print Skirt

Isn’t this skirt fabulous! The fullness of the skirt is so feminine and the way the print lays in the print makes the body long and lean and look at those red shoes, the only word is fabulous. The stripe in the sweater echos the line of the skirt and the grey tone doesn’t compete. Notice the length, just below the knee which is absolutely now.

Down Vest

Baby it’s cold outside and we want to be warm, right? This is the chic way to wear that cozy down vest and still have a waistline. Notice that she is wearing two sweaters for extra warmth. Grab an extra long, narrow belt at thrift and tie is around the waist, a thicker belt will create a poof that nobody needs at the hip.

Bowler Hat

When it is cold outside you can get extra warmth if you wear a hat, how about this one? The bowler is classic, classy and finishes an outfit like nothing else. Remember one thing, a hat must fit to achieve that perfect look. The more you wear hats, the more you’ll want to!
