Happy Monday all!

Full disclosure, I suck at dressing up my jeans.  Why? I really have no clue. When I attempt to dress up a pair, I tend to feel and look awkward.  For awhile I couldn’t crack the whole “dressed up denim” look right until now.  I realized by making substitutions for items I usually wear, I could dress up my jeans without feeling like an epic fail.  For this outfit, I substituted my usual striped tee for this feminine Eloquii top and  traded in my sneakers for a pair of cute flats. I was very pleased with how my outfit turned out.  Most importantly, not once did I feel awkward.  In fact I felt pretty chic heading out to dinner with my girlfriends!

Now that I’ve figured out how to dress up my jeans, I will make more of an effort to do so!

Have a wonderful day!

I’m always in the market for a good pair of jeans so when Lee approached me to review a pair from their plus size collection I jumped at the chance. I’ve worn their jeans in the past so I’m familiar with their quality.   I chose their Curvy Fit Maxwell trouser jeans because  they can be easily transitioned for work. Lee’s trouser jeans are made with a  sateen material that gives them a smooth finish. I’ve worn these jeans other than Friday and no one could tell the difference.  Their jeans also have a  no gap waistband which eliminates the need for a belt (YES!) .  The affordable price tag (currently on sale for less than $40!) allows you can get a great pair jeans without breaking the bank! So head over to Lee and check them out!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Tuesday all!

I can’t tell you how happy I am that Fall is finally here. Next to Spring, Fall is my favorite time of the year. Fall fashion is definitely one of the reasons why I love the season so much.  I love layering pieces together to get comfortable looks. This Fall is significantly different due to COVID 19.  I’m still working from home but that hasn’t stopped me from still dressing up for my daily on line meetings. That’s where   Lane Bryant  comes in.  They have always been my go to for Fall staples. I know I can rely on Lane Bryant for quality items like these skinny jeans & peasant top I’m wearing in this post. These pieces will help me continue to look presentable for my Zoom meetings!

Have a wonderful day!

When it comes to the seasons Fall is my second favorite after Spring.  Philadelphia comes alive with the brilliant fall foliage and various Autumnal activities.  I love being in the crisp Fall air so I need outerwear that is warm yet stylish.   When I saw Catherines  plaid reversible ruana I knew it would fit the bill perfectly.   Plaid is having a major resurgence this Fall so this ruana is definitely on trend. Also ruanas are  the quintessential Fall piece for warmth and style. This ruana is super versatile and can be worn in a variety of ways to fit your lifestyle.  I decided to belt the ruana over Catherines  Universal jean and a turtleneck for a layered casual look that can be worn to a outdoor farmer’s market.  For a cozy work look wear it over a faux leather skirt and boots . For  weekend errands it can be worn with  a pair of sneakers and and a denim shirt for a quick casual outfit. On more chillier days, layering a thicker turtleneck under the ruana with a pair of corduroy pants can provide added warmth.  The ways this ruana can be styled is endless. Plus it’s moderately priced so you’re not breaking the bank for warm stylish outwear.

Catherines has a variety of outerwear options to fit you needs this Fall. Head over there and check them out!

Have a wonderful weekend!

With Fall right around the corner I’m looking forward to reintroducing denim into my wardrobe.  During the Summer my jeans go on hiatus because its way to hot to wear them comfortably (trust me I’ve tried!).   During the Fall I wear my jeans a lot so I’m always on the hunt for jeans that are comfortable and fit well.  Enter Catherines’ Universal Straight Leg Jean. According to Catherines the jeans were made to mold to different body types and shapes. I can attest the jeans definitely hug and flatter my curves. I like how the elastic waist eliminates the dreaded waist gap some of us plus gals deal with.  Overall I like the jeans and found them to be very comfortable. Plus the affordable price tag wont break the bank (the jeans are currently 40% off) I paired the jeans with this cool plaid duster from Catherines to create a casual weekend outfit that would look good on everybody (trust me, this duster will be in heavy rotation this fall).

So if you’re looking to add a new pair of jeans to your Fall wardrobe, I highly recommend you give Catherines Universal jeans a try!
