What to wear with.... Orange heels

What to wear with.... Orange heels



STEFFEN SCHRAUT cap sleeve shirt / Burberry tailored shirt / Dorothy Perkins knit sweater / Herringbone jacket / Dorothy Perkins ponte skirt, $16 / Ann Taylor slim fit pants / Circa Joan & David / MICHAEL Michael Kors michael kors tote bag, $510 / Chloé two tone jewelry, $510 / Kate Spade photo engraved jewelry / C. Wonder yellow gold jewelry

I was asked for ideas on what to pair with burnt orange heels.  The first thing I thought of was no BLACK!  That automatically makes me think of Halloween!.... I would stick to more warm colors.  Maroon, oxblood, olive green, tan, brown, etc.  The outfit on the left is a dressy option for work.  Olive green herringbone blazer for $44, creme blouse and oxblood pencil skirt.  On the right is more casual, for work or play.  A plaid button down with that hint of orange in the pattern, and the corduroy pants color from Loft is called Deep Veranda, its a deep green and would work perfectly.  I would throw on a creme colored sweater if you don't want a ton of plaid showing.  I kept the accessories simple... you want to let the shoes do the popping for these outfits. 
 Hope this helps suggest some ideas on what to wear with these shoes!
Have a great Xmas everyone!!!!

What to Wear with.....red polka dot skinnies!

What to Wear with.....red polka dot skinnies!



J.Crew anchor shirt / Knit top / Old Navy striped boatneck sweater / Old Navy stretch jeans / Frye stacked heel / Steve Madden shoes / Cheetah ballet flat / Cl by laundry / Old Navy print shoes / Nina bridal necklace / K. Amato 

A reader asked what to wear with her new red polka dot skinnies.  Here is a sample of what I would pick for her consultation.  Depending on where you're going, I paired different shoes with each outfit.  Basic flats for the more shy, fun print flats for the more daring and then black wedges if you want to dress it up, and riding boots for a more winter look.  Love the green necklace for that pop of color, and loving the cobalt blue sweater to break up the pattern of polka dots.  Another option with these pants, you can also go with a basic white top and add a striped infinity scarf.

Enjoy!

Workday/Weekend Sweater dress

Workday/Weekend Sweaterdress



Old Navy tailored shirt / GAP slim pants / Fergalicious high heels / n.d.c. n.d.c shoes / Wet Seal western booties / H&M , $24 / Post earrings / Givenchy necklace / Gap Multi Striped Sweater Dress / Chinese Laundry Tremendous | Piperlime

I had someone ask me how to wear a sweater dress for work, and then wear the same one casually on the weekend.  I chose this striped one because it's one of my favorites.  But pretty much any sweater dress can be worn for either, if paired with the right shoes and accessories.  Toss a button down on and a faux pearl bunch necklace and it instantly dresses it up.  Add dressier shoes and you are ready for work.  Change to boots/booties, an infinity scarf and some studs and you are ready for a movie/ shopping/ weekend fun! 

Enjoy!

What to Wear with... Wide Belts

What to Wear with... wide belts



ASOS scoop neck dress, $40 / H&M cotton blouse, $13 / H&M chiffon shirt, $12 / Elastic waist pants / Flat heels / Wet Seal bootie boots / ASOS high heel booties / Promise Shoes leather high heels / Overnight bag / Geneva hardware jewelry / Kendra Scott cuff jewelry / MNG by Mango wide belt / Mango leather buckle belt

Wide belts are hard to accessorize with.  Skinny belts are more in style and can easily be paired with many options.  But, I had a mommy reader want to get some use out of hers to mask her shrinking belly.  We can work with that!  I used one of my favorite sweater dresses and paired it with gray booties and a statement bracelet. 
Next option, I found an over-sized white button down or larger polka dot blouse (both from H&M) and some faux leather pants from Target.  Make sure either shirt is over sized and blouse-y, and reaches the middle of your tush or longer after belting and you will give the allusion of a tiny waist/ hourglass figure. You can use black leggings instead and black booties or fun pair of flats.  You can rock either outfit with a cute diaper bag I found on etsy.com.  

Enjoy!

What to wear with...... Chunky Orange Necklace!

What to wear with...... Chunky Orange Necklace!



525 America / H&M long shirt, $48 / J.Crew knit cardigan / Red blouse / LOFT pants / rag & bone/JEAN high waisted jeans / Polka dot pants / Leather shoes / n.d.c. leather shoes / Flat shoes / Charlotte Russe high heel shoes / Rocket Dog leopard print flat / Nine West / Chunky necklace / Neon Orange Metal Chunky Bib Chain Choker Necklace N58 | eBay / Gold GP Orange Beads Chunky Bib Chain Choker Necklace K1875 | eBay

 I had a request of what to wear with a chunky orange necklace.  I'm not sure what it looks like so I picked 3 out. When I think of orange, my first reaction is to pair it with Navy blue/dark gray or brown.  So, I chose the first outfit which is also my favorite.  Chose 2 pair of shoes that I thought would work for play (gray wedges) and then the office (metal cap toe).  Also threw in some other outfits playing around with patterns and work attire.  All of the other shoes I felt would work for work.  Loving the Topshop Galaxy studded high heels on the right! 

Enjoy!

Wardrobe Consult- Miss N



Shift dress / Cowl neck dress / Old Navy / Nicole By Nicole Miller pullover sweater / LOFT patterned pants / LOFT cap toe pumps / Flat shoes / Forever 21 platform booties / Topshop circle scarve

When Miss N contacted me she mentioned oxblood & leopard..... girl after my own heart!  She's starting a new job in corporate and needs some ideas.  Needing office appropriate, but not abandoning her fun personality.  I took those ideas and ran with it.  All items are budget friendly as well.  The leopard cardigan can be paired with either dress.  This is just a hint of one of my packages that I offer.  Feel free to contact me for a full package.
