Mens: Office to Happy Hour

Mens: Office to Happy Hour



BKE bootcut jeans / Onitsuka Tiger™ 'Kohaku' Sneaker (Men) / CHECKED FITTED MILITARY SHIRT at Express / MERINO WOOL CREW NECK SWEATER at Express / Cole Haan Air Colton Winter Chukka at Zappos.com / Vestal Gearhead Polished Black/Black/Black - Zappos.com Free Shipping...

Just bought my hubby this shirt, love it and it was on sale in Express.  It is a little louder than he normally wears so I figured he could throw on a gray sweater to tone it down if he wants.  This is def an outfit you can cas-down (make more casual) or stiffen up for a casual Friday office ensemb (le).  No tie needed for either outfit.  How hot are those Cole Haan dress shoes... I die.  The watch is on SALE now too!  Loving an all black men's watch, it just looks powerful to me.

Side note: I'm ok with spending a little more $$ on my hubby, he keeps things forever and in great shape, unlike myself.

Patriotic Work Outfit

Patriotic Work Oufit



Pencil dress / H&M blazer, $49 / Ted Baker peep toe pumps / Cole Haan satchel handbag / Chunky jewelry / Tory Burch jewelry / Banana Republic jewelry

Feeling a bit patriotic for some reason and started with a navy dress for work, then built on from there. I love that I can throw on a blazer to pretty much any dress (length appropriate) and be able to wear it to work.  The nude purse is a staple item, a def must and love these Tory Burch gold studs.

Fall Fashions and You - Cozy Sweaters

Have you been hiding the sweater your Nana knit you for Christmas? Well, get ready to wear it, because comfy cozy knits are here for fall! There's a sweater for everybody, so get ready for warmth and comfort this season.

If you typically wear ladylike clothes - think pearls and floral dresses - keep your sweaters cozy but relatively fitted. Don't go oversize with your knits. Instead, try Fair Isle or lightly patterned knits. Feel free to belt in your sweater or cardigan to emphasize your waist!

A rockstar look can benefit from a sweater, too - think 1980s oversize glam. Something with dropped shoulders and overly long sleeves will look too cool for school when paired with dark denim and leather booties. So remember, women’s shoes this fall will make an good outfit great this season.

If you lean more toward the urban fashionista aesthetic and think you can't pull off a sweater, think again! Long cardigans and patterned sweaters look effortlessly cool and make any outfit cozier. Grandpa-style elbow patches are a particularly nice touch on your sweaters this fall. Pair with a super-short mini, black tights and a killer pair of strappy heels for the look of the century.

Don't be afraid to layer your sweaters this fall. A long cardigan looks fantastic over knee length dresses or silk shirts, while a chunky, loose knit benefits from a brightly-colored tank top underneath.

Sweaters give you so many opportunities to play with your silhouette and learn which styles work for you! A bulky sweater looks entirely different paired with skinny jeans than it does over a maxi skirt. A lean cardigan looks great with a miniskirt, but equally as good with flared jeans.

It's critical to accessorize your knitwear this fall. Throw on a scarf for an ultra-bundled warm look, or add a statement necklace for a lush layered look. A big ring can be the perfect counterpart to a big, comfy sweater, while heels bring great balance to your knits! 




 Just wanted to thank Anya for contacting me and giving us all some advice on fall trends!!  Anya..... maybe in the near future, you will need a partner stylist!?!?!  *wink..wink*

Have a great day all!
