Everything old comes back into style right? Whether it be toys or clothes, things from my childhood and teen-hood seem to be coming back around. We’re gonna talk about bodysuits today. I’ve seen them around in my online browsing, and also in person at some stores.

Bodysuits are so versatile because you really can pair them with anything. Let’s look at some options.

If you work in a professional setting, you can pair the bodysuit with a few different items.

One would be a pencil skirt. This look is classic and sleek. Don’t forget heels or small pumps to really set this outfit off.

Another great option for work is to wear with slacks and a beautiful blazer or sweater.

Blogger style: Grey coat&White bodysuit&grey pants&sandals&clutch

If you’re looking for a more casual way to wear a body suit, try pairing it with colored jeans and a blue jean jacket. I love this look with the striped bodysuit.

This one is gorgeous and would be a great work choice, or even for a brunch with the ladies.

Last idea I’m going to share with you today is to wear it with jeans. While the jeans say casual, what you add to the ensemble makes it more than just a casual look.

Â

I love the jacquard pattern of this. That in itself gives the outfit a bit of an classy look. Paired with some cute ankle booties and a nice sweater or coat, this outfit can easily be worn to any function.

What are your thoughts about the bodysuit coming back into style? Something you would consider adding to your current wardrobe? Anything I’ve shared with you today inspired you to pick one up?

There’s a local store that I have fallen in love with. There are a few storefront locations and you can also purchase online. The store is Francesca’s.

Let me share some things I found online that I love. It was hard to narrow it down because I really could share almost everything.

These frayed jeans look great, and priced at only $44 they’re a steal! I love the lace-up back of the right sweater, and the cross-over blouse on the left looks great. Either top could be paired with the jeans.

Another set I put together to show you are some of their dresses. There are great everyday casual type and some for the upcoming holiday party season.

I love these formal dresses! There really is something for everyone. They even offer plus size clothing online.

One thing that I really love about their website is that they show some different outfit choices. For example, when I brought up this top, underneath it had these three different outfit options. Love that! It can be nice to get another take on an outfit choice.

Take a look around their site ladies. There is a storefront location in Downtown Los Gatos and one in Oakridge mall, that I know of. Shoes, jewelry, tops, dresses; there are so many options!! Share with me what you found that you love!

Sometimes I see a color combination and think “huh, why didn’t I think of that”. Today we’re gonna talk about one of those.

This goes along with a wardrobe stapleÂ we’ve talked about before; wear a neutral and pop it with a colored accent. Grey and yellow ladies!

When I saw this on Polyvore I knew this was what we were gonna talk about today. I mostly wear neutrals and always want to jazz it up by wearing a pop of color.

I love this color combo because I can still wear my jeans. Jeans are my everyday choice of pants. There are so many different shades of grey but they all look good together. You could choose a dark charcoal colored sweater and a lighter color ankle boots with a yellow scarf as shown. The yellow sweater paired with the grey boots looks great too.

What do you think about this color combination ladies? Is this one that you wear often? Do you like it? Would you change it?

Black and white make some beautiful lingerie choices. These colors look great on every skin tone and can make a statement. But what if you want to have some color? Today I’m going to share some beautiful seasonal colored lingerie to consider for your photo shoot.

Sometimes, well most of the time, red can be pretty harsh for a photo shoot. Save the red for your bedroom and choose a deep maroon. Maroon, burgundy, whatever you choose to call it the color is gorgeous and a great choice for an autumn shoot.

Another great choice for autumn is a warm chocolate brown or even possibly a gold tone. This beautiful warm color also looks great on a variety of skin tones. Look at some pieces I found.

I absolutely love the bra & panty set in the left corner. And the chocolate balconette bra in the upper right corner is gorgeous in color and the detail in the bra is fantastic. The gold/brown toned slips are beautiful and scream fall, and I love the racerback on the long slip.

What do you think ladies? Which color would you choose? Any specific items from what I posted that catch your eye?! What would you choose for your photo shoot.

Holiday party season is approaching and it can be difficult to find the perfect dress for your party. Once you start shopping it might seem that every store has the same dress, your size might be gone already or any number of other things can make you frustrated. Well, think outside the box ladies for your Holiday party dress.

Danea came across a website that has some beautiful gowns for great prices; Light in the Box. You can filter for Holiday dress, your color, length, sleeve length and many other options. Let me show you a few that caught my eye.

They’ve got some sparkle and some shine to them; I love these all. Seriously ladies there are pages and pages and pages of beautiful holiday party dresses. They even have some stunning plus size dresses.

Since it is an online store, and purchasing a dress (or anything really) from an online store can be a bit nerve wrecking, I would recommend following their sizing guides for each individual dress and ordering soon! Especially with items coming from overseas it can take a bit of time.

If the idea of finding your dress online makes you a bit nervous, head to your nearest TJ Maxx. I’m serious! Look at some of the dresses I found online for their stores.

And if a long dress is more your choice, they have you covered there as well.

Yeah, seriously; all those dresses from TJ Max.

What style dress do you prefer for a Holiday party? Do you have a party through your work? One with friends? Family? Where are you wearing your gorgeous holiday party dress to?!!

Have I every fully shared my love of Target with you guys? It’s hard not to love this store. There is one thing I don’t love about it, that being how damn easy it is to spend money and end up leaving the store with things that you don’t need. Any way, today I want to share some items you can find at your local Target. There are so many things but I’m gonna focus on boots and lingerie today. A stunning combo, right?!

Booties are again hot this fall, and there are so many stunning pairs out there. These are of course some of my favorite pairs that I found while browsing.

I love these! The ability to fold and unfold them can give your outfit a completely different look. And just think, you only have to pay for one pair of shoes!

The grey color of this pair is beautiful, and I love that they don’t have a super high heel. Ankle boots are a great type of bootie.

If you like wearing wedges then this bootie might be the one for you. The side zipper makes them easy so slip on and the wedge gives it a cute look.

The last few pairs I found are great options too. This is just a small sampling of what they carry ladies. And there are so many more options online.

Maybe you’re looking for a heeled bootie; something to dress up a look. These are two fantastic options.

I love the buckle around the pair on the left; it just gives the boot a little more detail. Now if you don’t like that look, then maybe the boot on the right is the one for you. A small heel and a great color.

Ok, totally shifting gears but let’s touch on some more “indoor” type items. This is a Boudoir business after all, right?!

Don’t knock Target out for some sexy lingerie ladies, no matter what your size. They carry plus size items although it seems to be available online only. Let me show you some plus size pieces they have.

They have some gorgeous chemises, and some fantastic looking bras. Panties to match too!

Some non plus size lingerie I found online is a gorgeous cut out chemise. I love the detail! A fantastic bra with great shoulder detail, and an amazing teddy. I’ve seen the teddy in person at the store ladies and it is beautiful. The price is great too at $22!

Do you wear booties ladies? What’s your favorite pair? Love some lingerie I posted? What’s your favorite? What’s your best clothing or footwear you’ve found at Target?

Layering is a great look for winter, and a great piece for layering is a plaid shirt. It can be very versatile with many different looks you can achieve. This is one of those pieces that I’ve always thought looked good on other people, but not sure about how it would look on me. I’ve got to say though that after researching for today’s blog post, I am so buying one cuz I think I can pull it off now! Let me show you a few ways to style your plaid shirt.

A beautiful colored plaid shirt looks great paired with a vest over top, jeans, and some ankle boots. I’m sure almost all of us have these pieces to pull this carefree look off. Oh and I love the addition of that wrap bracelet! Making those is my new hobby.

I love this look! The plaid shirt paired with the corduroy skirt, a jean jacket and cowboy boots is fantastic. I am really loving those boots and I really love how the colors of the plaid shirt compliment the colors in the boots. For the winter look you could always add a pair of tights under your skirt.

You could always wear your plaid shirt over a sweater with some beautiful colored jeans.Â I feel colored jeans are a hard item to pull off, but this look does it fantastic.

Fall Day: Flannel Shirt & Cable Knit Sweater

I love the idea of pairing a plaid shirt with a beautiful cable knit sweater. The collar will peak out the top and the bottom of the shirt will hang a little lower than the sweater; I can picture myself in it now.

A last look, because I could go on and share tons of photos today, is a more casual look but gives you a great idea of how you can layer your plaid shirt.

First I love the shoes, because I’m more about comfort than how I look (not that I don’t want to look nice!). A plaid shirt, with a sweater over (like we talked about above) but even adding a jacket over that for those especially cold days. Paired with a great distressed jean you’ll pull off the ultimate put together but casual look.

So tell me, do you own a plaid shirt? What’s your favorite way to wear it? Have I given you a new angle today on how to style it? I hope so!
