Jcrew Tweed Pencil skirt

Jcrew Tweed Pencil skirt



Aéropostale woven shirt / J.Crew pencil skirt / H&M pointy-toe pumps, $46 / Zippered tote bag / Red Herring , $20

This tweed pencil skirt from Jcrew is on sale for $60.  Another example that you can just add a chambray shirt and fun necklace and you are ready! I kept the shoes and purse dark, since I still should be styling for winter.  
Hope you are having a great week!

Spring Brights and Stripes

Spring Brights and Stripes



J.Crew long sleeve top / Aéropostale long sleeve shirt / J.Crew cotton skirt / Chinese Laundry rubber shoes / Dorothy Perkins leopard print handbag / Orange necklace

In hopes of Spring coming sooner than later, I found some items from JCrew that were on sale that had a Spring feel to them.  Any fun colored pencil skirt can be paired with a chambray shirt and chunky necklace and would be work-ready.  Stay tuned for my next post on another cute pencil skirt I found on sale!

Keepin it Classy.....

Keepin it Classy.....



Tommy Hilfiger long sleeve dress / Zara leather pumps / H&M leather shoulder bag, $23 / Stella & Dot 

This week will be full of meetings so I plan on keeping things simple and dressy.  This dress would be perfect to wear.  I like that it has the tie at the waist to give you some shape and I trend'd it up with some fun heels.

Coffee or Tea?

Coffee or Tea?



Merona® Women's Favorite Oxford Shirt - Assorted Colors / LOFT long pencil skirt / Sheer hosiery / Forever 21 platform boots / Zara shopping bag / Kate Spade clip on earrings / LOFT colorful scarve

Well... you win some you lose some... I wore this outfit on Friday, and all day, I sort of felt like a flight attendant.  Then to confirm, I posted my pic on Instagram and Facebook, and someone commented, "coffee, tea, or me?  So, even someone else thought I should be serving coffee, or tea on a 747 in this outfitLOL. I think I'll keep the plain white button down to be used as a layer.  Maybe switch it out with a white peplum top.
Ah-well..........

Boucle and Chambray

Boucle and Chambray



Aéropostale woven shirt / Forever 21 / H&M leather pumps, $47 / Dorothy Perkins leopard bag / Givenchy faux pearl necklace

This boucle skirt is from Forever21, for $9.99.... I couldn't believe it when I saw the price... then I found this super cute leopard purse.  Trend it up with some chambray, add some bright red nails and some pearls and you are ready for your workday. This would look cute with a trench coat and rain boots for your commute too.

RACHEL Rachel Roy "Zip Top Tote"

RACHEL Rachel Roy "Zip Top Tote"



Button down shirt / J.Crew slim fit shirt / LOFT pencil skirt / GAP tall jeans / Dorothy Perkins high heels / Steve Madden ballet flat / Tote bag / Forever 21 square bracelet / Kendra Scott / Metal jewelry

Totes are hot this season, and when I saw the RACHEL Rachel Roy "Totally Transparent Zip Top Tote" in the latest issue of InStyle, (available at Macy's.com with free shipping, other select handbags are on Sale 40% off) I just had to style it.  2 ideas that came to mind right away, one for work and one for weekend wear.  With Spring around the corner, I chose a bright pink pencil skirt, and some floral heels.  But, since it's the weekend and snow is everywhere, I kept it real and chose a turtleneck and boyfriend jeans.  Keepin it simple, yet stylish with emerald Kendra Scott earrings. 
How else would you style this hot Tote??

Men's FitFashLife Spring Wishlist

Men's FitFashLife Spring Wishlist



Loafer / men's big & tall: heritage collection | Banana Republic / men's big & tall: heritage collection | Banana Republic / 'the Greatest Pants In The Universe' Straight Leg Chinos (Online... / Volcom Cuesta Jacket / Nordstrom Cotton & Cashmere Sweater Delft X-Large / Alfani BLACK Shirt, Caymen Check Woven Shirt - Mens Casual Shirts -... / Tommy Hilfiger Shirt, Long Sleeve Michael Shirt - Mens Casual Shirts -...

As soon as that tax check comes in.... we will be going shopping.... here is what I found so far for hubby for spring... I tend to spend more on his clothes because he keeps everything forever, so his cost per wear is a lot less than mine.  I'm ok with spending $80 or more for a shirt/sweater for him... because I know he will continue to wear it for 10 years, until I tell him it's dunzo.  These loafers look super comfy and he def needs a pair!  I went with a little bit brighter colors for spring... since he normally wears navy, charcoal and black all the time.  Trying to branch him out!  
Any items you planning on getting for your man??  Do tell.....

LOFT baby doll top / J.Crew slim shirt / Top / Miss Selfridge peplum blouse / Forever 21 , $39 / Worthington / Jessica Simpson high heel pumps / Sam Edelman sling back shoes / Forever 21 / Forever 21 jewelry

Can't wait for the warmer weather..... as Spring approaches I'm loving bright jewel tones.  I'm starting to wear them now, and just wearing darker accessories, darker layers and winter shoes.  Then as it gets warmer (the groundhog did NOT see his shadow, YAY for warmer weather coming), I start peeling off the layers, wearing brighter accessories and peeptoe shoes! Stay tuned for the Men's FitFashLife's Wishlist up next!
