Mango has me going crazy with ideas for work outfits right now! The jewelry especially is a steal right now.
I love options like these – they are great for re-mixing and they are a good combo for pretty + professional.
p.s. I cannot even handle this on trend and pretty $40.00 dress

Some lovely and modest dresses at Nordstrom right now. Pink Dress, Blue Dress, Black Dress.
Actually, after looking at the black dress for a minute… I realized it’s the same as the William Riera Camilla Dress that I posted last week! Am I right? You’ll save $30 if you go with the Camilla!

Hi Livi! So excited to hear that you will be blogging on Sensibly Styled. I absolutely can’t wait for a post each day! I check numerous times just in case there is something new up! (I’m a fashion addicted loser…I know!) S
Do you have any suggestions on cute, comfy boots with a little bit of a heel or wedge? I’ve scoured the internet and can’t seem to find anything. I’m short, 5’1 and like to have height but I am also realistic about what I can stand to wear all day! Just thought I would hit you up for any suggestions you might have! I look forward to hearing more from you!
Emily:
The first place I looked for some suggestions was Zappos and Piperlime. For some more affordable options I also looked at one of my favorite places for shoes: Target.
All of these sites are great because you can narrow down your search by size, heel height, style, etc.
Hope you enjoy your selection.
Ciao Ciao and Happy Shopping!

i love accessories.
(forgive the shaky iphone shot, the serious need for a manicure and the awkward hand pose)
This is an actual shot of what i actually wear on my hands every day. My point: accessories can be fun, useful and add color and intrigue to any outfit.
Now I realize that not everyone is as hard core about the types and amounts of accessories as I am but that doesn’t mean that accessories aren’t for you!
I think extras for an outfit are all about trying something different and transforming a look. Yes, I wear tons of jewelry most days but I also try and change it up.
For instance:
If you always wear big earrings, try little ones or vice versa. No jewelry? Try a necklace one day. Too much jewelry? (cough, cough) try tapering it down once in a while.
Of course, accessories aren’t just about jewelry. Scarves, hats, bags and so much more are all part of it as well. It’s all about the style and personality of the person!
And like I always say, Go Big or Go Home!!
My favorite accessories of the moment:
petal necklace, rainbow headband, chain and fabric necklush, two finger black ring, fabric bracelet, gold bangles
My friend Jessica just sent me the links to the clothes in this outfit! And I LOVE them! Jessica should really be the one running this blog because she seriously dresses super cute all the time. Me on the other hand… I’m all talk 
Thanks for the outfit Jess! (She sent me more outfits that you will be seeing throughout this week and next)

So the dress on the left is absolutely perfect… I need it. And when I say need it… this time, I mean it! It is a modest version of the Anthropologie dress on the right that was out last summer. (pictured in this post, second outfit down) And I wanted that dress, but not only was it $178.00, it was also sleeveless, so I would have had to buy a cardigan as well. So yes, this dress is $88.00… but that’s like over $100.00 savings compared to the Anthropologie dress. (haha my husband laughs when I consider buying this dress and tell him that I’m really saving money…)
At Shabby Apple for $88.00
This dress is perfect for you taller ladies! I love the sleeves.

Oh yes, and the giveaway is on hold for a couple days, but I promise it is worth the wait! Sorry for the delay!!!
I have been seeing this style of dress all over the place. The only problem is, all of them that I have seen are sleeveless. (I actually bought a sleeveless one from Nordstrom. I wear a button up underneath or a cardigan over.) This is perfect because it has SLEEVES! Yay! I love it. Isn’t it adorable????
Find it at Shabby Apple for $98.00.
Love the stripes on this dress! And notice that I love the Cowl-Neck dresses?
At Express for $79.50, 36.5 inches long.
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!)

Our reader Victoria M. wrote in saying:
Last night, after an exhausting day, after my 3 kids were finally asleep, I started looking through my drawers for something that would help me get past the popsicle juice and baby spit-up I had been covered in during the day. I wished I had a modest, pretty nightgown that I could sleep in. I wanted to feel pretty, but went with my only option, plaid pajama bottoms. No, I did not feel pretty. And the nursing pads only made matters worse. Help! I am at the height of frump!
Victoria, I totally understand! Just because we like to be modest doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be able to feel beautiful before we go to bed! I found several nightgowns that I think you will love. None of them are anything that you would feel embarrassed to be seen in if any of your 3 kids decided to sneak out of their rooms. However, they are all nightgowns that I think will make you feel more feminine and beautiful. I hope you enjoy!
All nightgowns were found at Nordstrom. Eileen West ‘Laurel Canyon’ Nightgown for $68.00 ,Lauren by Ralph Lauren ‘Monte Carlo’ Nightgown for $58.00, Eileen West ‘Valley of the Moon’ Ballet Gown for $70.00, Donna Nadeau Flutter Sleeve Chemiseon sale for $37.90, Eileen West ‘Falling Leaves’ Nightgown for $62.00
A few plus size options:
Midnight by Carole Hochman ‘Two Hearts’ Nightgown (Plus) for $88.00, Eileen West ‘Eastside Twilight’ Nightgown (Plus) for $82.00, Eileen West ‘Manhattan Mood’ Nightgown (Plus) for $82.00
Love, Natalie
