Everyday Glam

Happy Monday all!

Now that  the holiday season is pretty much here, all kinds of  glamorous party wear is being offered.  But did you know that  it’s not just for cocktail and formal parties? You can add some  glam to your work outfit with just a few tweaks.  Try wearing a sequin tank underneath a cardigan.  Pair your jacquard pants with a button up and flats.  Or if that’s not your cup of tea, how about that dress hanging in your closet with the beading around the neck or hem ?  By adding a cardigan or blazer you can transform it  into a work appropriate outfit!  That is what I did to this fabulously beaded eShakti dress.   Plus if you have an after work holiday dinner or party,  lose the cardigan and add some heels for the perfect after hours ensemble.

How do you do to add glam to your everyday look?

Have a wonderful evening!

Casual Friday/Remember the Tights!

TGIF everybody!

The last time that I could remember wearing  colored tights is when   I was 10 years old.  My family had gone to the Poconos with members of our church congregation for a weekend getaway.   Dinner that Saturday night was at a fancy restaurant so my mom had to dress us up.   I remember  wearing  a red dress with white tights and shiny patent leather shoes.  My mom had pulled my hair up into a ponytail and topped it off with a red bow.  I remember feeling so pretty and a little grown up because my shoes had a slight wedge  which I thought were high heels!  Dressing up that  night was one of the highlights of that trip which has always stuck with me.

Honestly I can’t point to one reason why I  stopped wearing colored tights.  Maybe I  told myself I could only wear black or brown tights.  Maybe I felt my legs were too big for colored tights.  Either way as you can see, I no longer feel that way!

Would you wear colored tights? If so, what color?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Summer Hold Over

Happy Monday all! Hope you had a great weekend and turned those clocks back!

Like almost everybody I try to the get the most wear out of my clothing. Some of myclothes are interchangeable from season to season like this Adrianna Papell dress I’m wearing today. I first wore it in the Spring but always felt that the dress was more for the Fall. So when the weather cooled down I couldn’t wait to slap on some black tights and ankle boots with this dress. Instead of a black cardigan or blazer I opted for my faux leather Kohl’s jacket. As you can see I’m getting ALOT of usage out this jacket! Honestly I wear it about 3 times a week. The jacket has been my go to  instead of wearing a black blazer or cardigan. I like how it adds just a little edge to my outfit.

How do you get the most wear out of your clothes?

Have a great evening!

Casual Friday/Offering a Helping Hand

TGIF all!

What a week!  Unfortunately my family in the Bronx are still without power.  It’s  hard to watch them struggle  but they are extremely grateful to be alive and have a roof over their heads.  So many people in my home state of  New York and New Jersey are suffering terribly tonight and need our help.  The American Red Cross is accepting donations to help the millions of  Hurricane Sandy victims.  Your contribution may be small but it does make a difference.

With that said, I needed a punch of color to brighten my mood today.  This Sean Anthony Designs fuchsia ruffle blouse definitely does the trick.  I wanted the blouse to be the focus of attention, so I paired it with my coated black INC blazer and printed Eloquii ankle pants.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Casual Friday/Rainbow Bright

TGIF everyone!

This morning  I woke up to a cloudy, dreary day.  To add further insult to injury, the weather reports are predicting that  Hurricane Sandy will make landfall early next week! UGH!  A cranky  Georgette is not a good Georgette (LOL!)  so wearing this vibrant outfit  was just what I needed to lift my spirits.  As you probably have noticed, I love color.  There is something about putting on a brilliant hue that  instantly makes me feel better. Instead of having a scowl on my face this morning, I was smiling.  Sure I got a few  “what the hell is she wearing ”  kind of stares on the train platform  but I didn’t care.  All I know is that I felt good and in the end that’s all that matters!

What are some of the ways you improve your mood?

Have a wonderful evening!
