Is it just me or does this look like a perfect swimsuit cover up? Yes, I know… it’s pretty covering for the beach, but I get burned so easily, I tend to lean towards being more covered if I’m not in the pool anyways.

Holiday dress…

I have two holiday parties this season that I need an outfit for.  Semi-formal/holiday attire is expected at both. I would love your ideas on how to put together a festive look with out breaking the bank. (Under $100 would be preferable.) If I’m spending the money, I would really like to invest in some pieces I can use at other events too. You know, stretch the dollar and all that.  Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Thanks!
Rachel

Hi Rachel!

I think the best way to make your dollar stretch is to find a dress that can be accessorized in several ways. What’s better than a black dress? Also, because these parties you are going to are semi-formal, rather than wear a sweater or jacket, I think it would be fun to wear a wrap… I picked out a couple that I LOVE (a little spendy, but gives you an idea of what to look for). I think the purple one would be great to wear for some added color, but posted both because really, they would both look amazing, and it shows a couple different ways they can be worn. Another fun way to add color is by doing a patterned shoe, but as cute as patterned shoes are, they are hard to wear more than once without people noticing. So, for holiday parties, unless you want to invest in a couple pairs of pumps… I would go with a solid. Have fun! And I’m sure whatever you wear will look amazing!

Love, Natalie

Pretty much on a daily basis we get emails about tights/leggings and how to wear them. Can they be worn with open toed shoes, how can I pull them off with boots, how do I know what to wear with my colored tights, and pretty much, what are the rules to wearing them? So I put this outfit together with open toed shoes, and colored/textured tights. Would you wear it? (More to come on how to wear colored tights/leggings! And thanks to Emily E. for the link to this dress!)

Would you wear this outfit?

PLEASE HELP!

First off, I love your blog.  I am so happy to have finally found some like-minded women when it comes to being fashionable yet appropriate.  My husband says I dress like a frumpy housewife – which I am, by the way!  I am a 33yo mom to 5 little ones.  I barely have time to get THEM dressed and off to wherever they need to go, let alone worry about dressing myself!  I recently completed my first triathlon (and in the training process lost nearly 50 pounds and dropped from a size 14/16 to an 8/10!!). I am on the taller side (5ft 7in), but still with some mommy belly (hey, 5 pregnancies in 6 years will do that to you) and larger thighs/hips (mostly genetics, but also from biking).  Husband just came home from work and said we have a dinner with the boss coming up!  YIKES!!!  I have no clue what to wear.  This dinner will be with a bunch of new physicians and their spouses at the Department Chairman’s house.  It is probably business casual dress.  What do I wear?  Thanks for your help!

GWN, congratulations on your first triathlon and getting in shape! I love hearing success stories like yours! I have put together a very casual outfit however, I stayed away from blue jeans to help it not be too casual. The boots I put in the outfit (for this outfit) would be worn under the jeans, however, they would look super cute paired over some skinny jeans! I love the blouse and the pop of color it will give this outfit. Have fun shopping for your new figure and I’m sure you will look amazing!
