Something Old, Something New

Monochrome Moment Mixing Prints and Patterns

Hey guys, I am here with my second post of this new year, and because you guys are so near and dear I wanted to make sure that you were aware of an organization and brand that's stellar. 

In this post, I am wearing a beautiful geometric patterned Tahari dress that I scoured during a sale at my local Dress for Success office.   I stopped by to make a donation, and to my surprise they were selling a few items, in an effort to raise money for clothing to accomendatewomen needing larger sizes.  I also brought this vintage pair of authentic Prada mules for a steal.  All of the pricing was more than reasonable.   The shoes had never been worn, and neither had the dress.  The striped shirt that I paired with my amazing dress is an oldie from Zara.  I love wearing black and white, and thought it would be a very interesting look if I mixed the prints and patterns.

I am also donning a beautiful pair of Berkshire hosiery, yes the Berkshire that our mom's love.  The brand has been around for over 100 years as the finest made, best fitting, and most fashion forward hosiery on the market.  Perfect for work, play, dress-up, bridal, daytime, evenings, weekends or holidays, the 2016-2017 Berkshire Collection features hundreds of individual looks that are available in regular, curvy and maternity options.  Visit them online at www.eberkshire.com

Style Challenge - Gap Factory Store

Happy Monday guys.  I want to introduce something new to the blog.  I had the idea to start a new series on the blog which gives a few pointers on how to go in stores and build outfits in less than 5 minutes.  This will be lots of fun and I hope it's helpful.

I started in my neighborhood Gap Outlet Store because I am a huge fan of the brands.  You can never go wrong with their classic, americano style as your basis.  I added fun accessories and "voila" - the perfect outfits.

I picked pieces for a casual outfit, as well as a dressier look.  Pictured above are the items I scurried around Gap collecting, and below is short video of me in store and modeling my outfits.

I hope I was able to help with styling looks in limited time.
