Jumpsuits can double as business attire, and streetwear with the right accessories. To narrow down your search, treat each style as separates. For example, if you prefer wide leg pants, look for a LBJ with a flare silhouette. If you prefer a halter top, avoid tube tops and sweetheart necklines. I often gravitate to sleeveless tops and tapered pants when shopping for evening wear. For the reasons stated above, I knew I’d like the Chic Strategy Jumpsuit, by lulus, even before trying it on. I’m happy to report it fit true to size, and the quality is great.     If you’re going to cover up a sharp ensemble, do yourself a favor and top it with something even sharper!

If you’re going to cover up a sharp ensemble, do yourself a favor and top it with something even sharper! That is where Eshakti comes into play. Eshakti is proudly the only online women’s fashion apparel company offering sizes 0-36W and custom clothing. That’s right – leaf through the available items, take your measurements, submit your sample order, and leave it to the powers that be to create your custom garment. It’s that simple and it works beautifully. I had them craft me a custom faux leather and wool blend coat and it arrived two short weeks later. For ONCE, the length is just right (#shortpeopleproblems) and it fits perfectly through the bodice and hips. To accentuate the faux leather trim and buttons, I embellished the look with black and gold accessories. Now I am ready to hit the streets for a night on the town – protected from the elements.

You do not want the skirt to “cut off” your legs at an awkward spot – they are already short enough. This is particularly important to keep in mind when you are styling a below-the-knee length garment. It only took me a decade to find a solution to this problem, but better late than never. Let’s talk MESH!     Who would have thought that a mesh panel would be our (short legged folks’) saving grace?! I sure didn’t before trying on this faux leather mesh-paneled skirt. The peek-a-boo panel prevents your legs from appearing cut off, all while creating an edgy look and feel. On the other hand, you do not want your mesh to come off as tacky…style it with caution. I sweetened up the look with a black and white tie-neck blouse – the bow adds a touch of sophistication. Polishing off the look with dainty pearl jewelry and a classic Gucci purse, helped me further balance out the playful see-through detail.   Are you ready to incorporate mesh garments into your wardrobe?!     Shop this Post: […]

While I highly recommend this wardrobe “hack,” I also believe that no outfit is complete without a little bit of drama. This is even more crucial when you’re sporting an all black ensemble.     Drama comes in many forms. Maybe it is the bright red lipstick you’re rocking, or the Swarovski crystals around your neck. No matter what you call it, the more drama the better, especially when you’re dealing with black on black! This fab tube top is from Current Clothing (surprise, surprise), and I knew it was going to take a special pair of pants to do it justice. Can you imagine my excitement when I found these faux leather culottes from Zara?! Although the over-sized bow is loud enough, I was able to create more drama by mixing medias i.e., a faux leather textile. Thanks to The Red Chair Salon, I was able to take my bow-tiful ensemble one step further. Who knew a bow bun would only take a few squirts of hairspray, a couple of hair ties, and a handful of bobby pins?!   What can I say, […]

What can I say, I like big bows and I cannot lie…

If you’re not sold on the idea yet, then hear me out.

Who would have thought that a maxi length fringe skirt could be so versatile? When I scooped this baby up from Rode’o Boutique a few years ago, I was hoping to get at least two wears out of it. Let me tell you something, I’ve worn this skirt so many times, so many ways, with so many shoes, and every time I wear it, the compliments never stop. I apologize in advance that this exact piece is unavailable, but the good news is, similar items are hitting the shelves at your favorite stores and online retailers, and I have linked to them below. Anyway, being the first time rocking this fringey thing in SF, I simply paired it with a black off the shoulder top, and black strappy sandals. I accessorized lightly with my black tassel earrings and GG’s Chanel-esque Fabuleash. Even though I am on a taupe and black kick this week, I have styled this skirt in the past with an ivory fitted button down, and a blazer. The options are endless.

 

Will you be adding a fringe skirt to your wardrobe wish list?!
