The Skinny
Skinny pants are fashion magic. They can be dressed up or down- trousers or jeans, leggings or cropped. Depending on your work environment, they can be dressy or more 'biz cas'..... which is what I love at the office. Here is the skinny minnie on how to work 'The Skinny.'
1) Bold: Skinny pants in a bold color- think coral, 'Nantucket red,' or kelly green, with a neutral flowy top adds drama and ease to an otherwise blah Tuesday at the office. Pair them with a neutral pump, and some some killer earrings and you are all set.
2) Black: Everyone needs a pair of black Skinnies..... Either cropped, zippered, or tailored, you can't go wrong with a pair of basic black skinny pants. Adding a plain tee, and some cute and tailored flats, make this look a polished classic. Add a silk scarf around your shoulders, and this look is perfect for a client meeting on Friday right before escaping the heat on a summer Friday on the Jitney.
3) Neutral: Who doesn't love a neutral skinny pant. However, the 'skinny' is not just your average khaki, so please don't confuse the two. Add a classic black patent pump, over-sized gold watch, a little black tank, and a lightweight lace cardi for the cool office AC, and you are good to go.

Fall Into Autumn....Changing Seasons, Not Breaking The Bank
Fall is all about 'new'. Even though it's not a new year, per-se, it always seems to have a new feel to the season..... Back to school, new crisp cool air, and with all of the 'newness', you don't have to break the bank and still look great- classy and sexy and sophisticated. You can do this all under $100, for the most en-trend looks for the season, while mixing and matching with your transitional summer wardrobe staples.
1) Skinny Jeans: A fashion no-brainer. If you don't already have a pair, run don't walk and purchase. These Zara skinny jeans are perfect for chilly fall nights, but still chic and sassy for autumn days at work or on the weekend at cheering on your favorite college football team (Go Cardinal!).
2) High-Heel Loafers: I am LOVING this new look! Perfect for a casual outfit, or dressy for a work meeting. I can't wait to buy these in any and all colors available. Perfect with the skinny jeans, or a jersey dress.... the platform-ish look makes them not look too stuffy and Connecticut prep circa 1983.
3) Wrap Watch: This wrap watch is perfect from the very trendy large gold watch look right now. The wrap watch makes a statement with the burgundy band, but is not so ordinary. Classic and simple and different. What's not to love?!
4) Orange Scarf: Who doesn't love a 'pop' of color? And what more perfect color for Fall than orange. The orange scarf or snood is perfect to cozy up with while wearing your favorite white tee.
5) Cape: What more of an update than the classic cape coat. A great alternate to a barn or trench coat, this cape coat adds extra 'umph' to jeans, trousers, riding pants, even the ever amazing legging.
Okay, girls, go out and get ready for Fall! Even though it's a balmy 90 degrees in the dog days of summer, it's never to early to day dream about the 'new' autumn season looking cozy, classy, and positively fab for Fall!
