Today's Everyday Fashion: Winter Florals

I wore this outfit for my Fox 35 segment on Tuesday! I talked about cleaning out your closet - what to keep and what to toss. (You can watch the segment below, and see tons more videos on my YouTube Channel.) I just got the top this week and couldn't wait to wear it - with a statement necklace it feels very holiday to me - and right now this necklace is 50%-65% off when you claim the offer at the top of my FB page. Looking back I think a more wintery shoe like my black and gold pumps could've looked better with this - but thankfully, my feet weren't showing on TV. ;-) Would you wear florals for the holidays? How do you decide what to keep and what to toss?

My October Budget

LOFT  /  LOFT (similar, similar)  /  LOFT
Limited (similar)  /  Express  /  Limited
Express  /  Limited  /  Limited (similar)

1. LOFT jacket, $43 - I'm loving everything boucle and tweed for fall, and this jacket is as comfy as a sweatshirt.
2. LOFT top, $28 - Slight obsession with scalloped lace right now, and it was a good sale price.
3. LOFT top, $20 - I love shells with high necks for pairing with statement necklaces and I love this shade of pink.
4. Limited skirt, $32 - Houndstooth = a trend I was dying to try.
5. Express dress, $60 - I've ordered and tried on several white polka dot dresses this year, and this one was finally the perfect fit.
6. Limited skirt, $30 - Fit and flare shape has always been a favorite (I had a skirt just like this many years ago) and especially in a tweed material.
7. Express top, $19 - I have a weakness for anything blush pink with ruffles - I made a snap decision, and this isn't my favorite purchase from this month. Lesson learned.
8. Limited clutch, $23 - Dying over this clutch, I've been looking for a cognac clutch for ages and this one is perfect.
9. Limited top, $25 - The ultimate plaid top for fall, I can't stop wearing it.

Total = $280

Overall:
- I've been buying dressier items lately. Working from home, I spend a lot of time in casual clothes (like the plaid top, and the t-shirt below), but I've been more focused on items I can wear for work events - the polka dot dress, lace top, hot pink top, green and striped tops below. 
- I've done a 180 with my shopping strategy. I used to buy 95% of items in store because prices on the sale rack are often way lower than what you find online. Lately though, I've been buying everything online because of the convenience factor and my nonstop schedule. It can save a lot of time to browse and shop online, and with free shipping it's relatively risk-free. 
- I'm also less focused on clearance items -- and instead go for new arrivals that have great promos, like 50% off. When I choose from new arrivals, rather than combing what winds up on the sale rack, I get my very favorite items from the store. I'm finding it's worth extra $5-20 per item, because I'll wear the item more and want to keep it longer.

What are your shopping strategies - wait for the clearance rack, or buy new during a promo? Shop online or in person?

There's something a little off about this outfit - but I gotta be honest, that's why I like it! I'm a fan of the quirkiness of print mixing in general, and I think the black blazer ties it together. (The last photo is mostly just to show the top alone). I'm also doing a mini flashback of the 3 ways I've worn this skirt so far. I'm wearing the same shoes and purse in every photo, so next time I'm challenging myself to switch it up! Which houndstooth outfit is your favorite so far? Do you like print mixing?

Today's Everyday Fashion: One Cold Day

We finally had a cold day in Orlando and it was so refreshing! It's back to the muggy 80's now, but on Wednesday it was in the 50's and felt like 40's with the wind. I took the opportunity to wear a heavy wool skirt and coat for a technology event downtown. I love living in Florida, but sure wish I could dress like this more often. It made me nostalgic for living in Boston - although this time of year I'd be in "survival mode" with so many layers I'd look like a marshmallow. So maybe something in between. What's your ideal weather to dress for - bundling up in the winter, tank tops in the summer, or something in between?

This Week's Babble Round Up

I'm so excited to present this week's round up of Disney's Babble.com posts! Three things were on my fashion brain: the color emerald, brocade, and long sleeve dresses - so I did a post with my top budget-friendly picks for all three. Click each photo to read the story!

Today's Everyday Fashion: Lace Up Boots

We were headed to a bonfire a couple weeks ago and I threw together the boots outfit. Our plans changed, so I wound up wearing the heels version the next day instead. I was glad for the spontaneous moment of pulling out these boots though. I haven't worn them for two years, but suddenly they feel fresh again. A look around retailers (below), and this style is everywhere right now. I'm glad I trusted my gut to hold onto them (that, and I'm a total pack rat!). Will you be wearing lace up boots this fall - either an old pair or new?

I wore the first outfit on Monday - to see a friend and her new baby while they were in town, and for our Central FL Lady Bloggers meet up that night at Marlow's Tavern. It was warm and sunny and I wanted something colorful that would go with my new tortoise necklace. The second outfit is a more casual way I'd wear the same necklace + a camel shrug, also from Ily Couture.

Unbelievable amounts of cuteness in today's inspiration photo. I save a lot of outfit photos that I wouldn't personally wear as-is, but today's outfit is perfect from head to toe. I don't have the same pieces in my closet, but her top reminded me of this cobalt bow blouse. I paired it with a navy pencil skirt and went from there until I found a combo I liked.

This is another outfit from my menswear segment on Fox 35. I was inspired by celebs on the red carpet in tuxedos. I toned it down for everyday wear by replacing dress pants with jeans, and a trench instead of a blazer. To achieve the tuxedo vibe, I buttoned the collared shirt all the way up, and added a necklace in a short length to somewhat mimic a bow tie. I wore this outfit on the plane ride home from LA with the flats in this post.

I wore this trench the entire time I was in LA -  you can see the leopard shirt/black jeans combo I wore on Instagram here. I'll reveal more about my trip later, but for now you can watch a video on PopSugar with the same outfit. It's a special blogger edition of We Spy Style. They put our (bloggers) names in a bowl and my name was called first. I thought we were just watching and had NO IDEA there was a possibility of being on camera, so I hadn't touched up my heavy camera makeup in hours (in fact, I took a makeup wipe to my face about 5 hours prior and then just left it), and I was wearing Invisalign (which I'm SUPER self conscious about) so I was so completely caught off guard. It was such an honor to be a guest on the show though, and I loved chatting with Allison McNamara afterwards (Instagram pic here). You can watch the show here.

Trench: Express, $77 (similar, similar)
Top: Ann Taylor c/o
Jeans: H&M, $32 (similar, similar)
Shoes: Chinese Laundry c/o, old (similar, similar)
Purse: Michael Kors, family gift
Necklace: My Stella & Dot, $118 (you can wear it as 3 different lengths)
Approx. dates: Jeans, shoes and purse are last year, trench, shirt and necklace are this fall.

Also - I was browsing F21 yesterday and got so excited when I found a super-similar dress to the one Alyson Hannigan wears in a promo for How I Met Your Mother. I've been drooling over hers for weeks, so I just might order it for holiday parties. I also found a similar (or same?) aztec cardigan as one I recently featured that sold out quickly. Then I included a couple other cute things that caught my eye. Which item is your favorite?

This outfit is from my latest segment on Fox 35! I love the menswear trend, and I was inspired by a Zac Posen runway look to put this outfit together. The wool trousers, plaid blazer and oxford shirt give it a masculine vibe, while a bit of leg, shiny brooch and ladylike handbag keep it feminine. A clash of male and female in a yummy neutral color palette that's perfect for fall. Would you ever wear this look? How do you wear the menswear trend?

bright-pencil-skirt-outfit.png

I’m a huge fan of yummy fall colors found in leaves and seasonal candles, but I also like to throw a bright curveball from time to time. Cobalt, citron, turquoise and mustard might not be a classic November color combination, but the heavy fabrics make it feel like fall. The cobalt is a cozy sweater, and the skirt is a thick tweed material. Do you stick to only dark/neutral colors, or do you also wear bright colors in colder months?

Today's Everyday Fashion: The Fashion Show

On Thursday I hosted an IADT fashion show at Titanic the Experience and this is what I wore! The lace top arrived in the mail a couple days before the show, and it was an easy pairing with a full black skirt and shoes in a similar pattern. I had so much fun hosting and the students designs were amazing! So much talent! Are you a fan of this style of lace-trim top? (More examples below.) 

Also - my apologies for the unplanned absence. My computer broke (blank screen, nobody home!) while in I was in LA (see pictures of my trip on Instagram) and we are still working on getting everything off my old computer. For three and a half years and seven days a week, I've only missed a handful of posts, and never three days unplanned. I'm all for a perfect attendance record but I didn't sweat it one bit. Sometimes unplanned "rests" are just what the doctor ordered. ;-)

Skirt: Conversation Pieces c/o, $38 (similar, longer, less pleats)
Shoes: Shoemint, $75 (sold out - similar, similar, similar, similar)

This plaid shirt has been my ultimate go-to lately! I've worn it by itself with jeans a couple times, and these are two layered looks to wear on a cool fall day. I came up with the first look for a recent Fox 35 segment on menswear. The request was for an outfit with a wider leg pant, and thankfully I still had these from high school (or college, I can't remember which). The next look was a no-brainer - I bought this mustard sweater out of season and haven't worn it yet, and couldn't wait to wear it with a plaid shirt. Are you crazy about plaid right now too? How do you wear it?

I was so excited when I got this dress, I wore it twice in the first week. Once for my friend Amanda's birthday dinner (sleeveless version), and once for my latest Fox 35 segment (blazer version). These are two easy ways to wear it, but the possibilities are endless. I can see this dress with tights and boots, and an array of colors including red, pink, emerald, and cobalt. How would you wear it?

I don't recall how I found the inspiration image a year or two ago, but I've had it saved ever since. I don't have much experience styling tights, but loved this outfit idea and felt confident enough to try it. Black tights with black boots is the easiest combo I've found, and I also like these cognac boots with either navy tights, or the brown tights pictured. Do you ever have trouble styling tights? What are your favorite color combos for tights and boots?

It was instant love when I saw this outfit in a recent Kohl's email. That turned to excitement when I realized I had all the pieces to re-create it! I wore this to watch the game last night, last photo. Since it was late night, blue jeans felt more appropriate, but I would wear the ivory jeans on a sunny day, no matter how cold it was outside. Would you wear today's outfit?

Can we talk about how genius Jessica Alba's outfit is? Her pants are ridiculously comfy and yet she looks completely polished. I hope I can pull off some pants like that someday; in the meantime I'm copying her gray/beige color palette with things already in my closet. At first I wasn't sure if I liked this outfit, but anytime "ordinary" (mostly plan gray) pieces come together to create something not-so-ordinary (I've never worn it before), I'm a happy camper. Now I just need to find some pants like that... see options below. Would you wear Jessica's pants?

Black + brown is one of my favorite color combos, but I usually stick to safe cognac tones - the contrast makes it easy to mix with black. But today's look proves that chocolate brown can work with black, too. A bit of leopard makes the transition seamless, since it contains both colors. And as a bonus the scarf adds warmth to a v-neck sweater on a cold day. Would you ever wear these colors together?

This is my Easter dress from two years ago. I wore it with bright colors last time (here), but for today's look I was all about opposites. The dress is a conservative shape and feminine floral print, so I've mixed it with edgy shoes and a masculine leather jacket. It's an outfit idea I'm happy to borrow from Rachel Bilson and other celebs, and I think it translates well to real life. Would this type of outfit work for you?

I wear denim + denim + flats for running errands, so why not add a tuxedo blazer on a brisk day? It looks great on Olivia, and I'm always telling people to "wear the good china" - meaning don't save your nice clothes and wear them often, even for errands. And while we are on the subject of flats, I've shared some of my favorites on a budget below. It's a frequent reader request and I'm personally looking to add more to my shoe collection to balance out the heels section. Would you wear Olivia's look? How would you change it to fit your lifestyle?
