2015 first post

noreply@blogger.com (Melis) — Thu, 08 Jan 2015 23:18:00 +0000

And I'm back...... Although subzero temps are not motivating to dress up in at all. Here are some ideas for the winter weather that aren't hideous (again, very difficult).

1. Cute discreet boots
2. Basic warm sweater- throw statement necklace on with this to replace blazer for work
3. Fitted pants- to wear with your winter boots over and a big sweater
4. Fleece jacket - paired with black fitted pants and tall boots this could pass in the workplace
5. Sweater to replace blazer
6. Dress warm boots

Tops to pair with skinny jeans/leggings/etc....

noreply@blogger.com (Melis) — Mon, 08 Dec 2014 16:01:00 +0000

I am such a fan of the high waisted tight skinny jean. However, that usually means pairing it with a loose top as to not show the tummy sucking in going on. Here are some options to pair with those great cinchers you've purchased.....
1. Oversized denim shirt (reminder to go up a size here they run small)
2. Long Sleeve Tee (Throw a lace cami underneath if the cleav is too deep for you)
3. Lace Top (would prob go a size up here too)
4. Flowy Tank (a great layering piece under an open cardigan or blazer)
5. Ruffle Cami (under a sweater or jacket would be a pop of color)
