Sweaters with a Hem

Sweaters of all sorts are a huge trend this season. But sometimes the look of sweater + Pants + boots can get a little dull and masculine. Adding a silky or lace hem elevates the look effortlessly. You are rocking the layered look and the hem mitigates the boxy severity of a sweater. Suddenly you are both warm and pretty! 

There is not a single stitch of sewing involved. Check out these dressed up sweaters!

Since it is short sleeved, I think this would be perfect layered over a slim black and white striped turtleneck with skinny jeans and booties.

Obsessions

This dress...

I am obsessed with this gorgeous black lace dress. It hugs your curves in all the right places and is so comfortable. It is stretchy but thick and fully lined. I bought it for my high school reunion this October to wear to a cocktail reception. When you click on the link check out the reviews. If you want to feel polished and super feminine, this is the ticket. 

Mona Dress

$258.

Holiday Office Party

This look was inspired by one of my best friend's party outfits. The outfit was classic with an edgy vibe. You could tone it down by losing some jewelry or swapping the lace for a plain top. The statement necklace makes it. All black everywhere else lays the foundation for the statement pieces (necklace, ring). When you do an edgy party outfit balance the look with natural hair and make-up. Gorgeous darling.

Look of the Day

An easy outfit for a cold, wet day. This look is a little twist on sweater, jeans, boots. It's all in the details: cuff the jeans and throw on a complimentary necklace. Excuse the picture; I am unpracticed at selfies!! 

The look: black booties, long sleeved slim white tee, black Aztec sweater, rolled skinny jeans, orange wooden necklace and suede black booties.

Look of the Day

Here is another great template outfit for the colder months. A day dress is always a good idea! You can wear the look as shown or mix it up using the same colors...

If dresses are not your thing, try a gray sweater, black pants, and brown leather knee high boots or flats. Denim would be a smashing addition in a jean jacket or skinnies. Mix it up!
