Layering season is rapidly approaching and I want to touch on a staple that should be in your closet; the vest. Along with the scarf I talked about a few weeks ago, the vest is a great way to jazz up an outfit. There are so many different ways to wear your vest, well ok there is really only one way to wear it, but there are many different looks you can achieve by what you wear underneath.

J.crew flannel shirt & vest with green Hunter boots

A long sleeve flannel shirt looks great paired with a quilted vest, along with a pop of color from some rain boots.

A denim shirt also looks great under a quilted vest.

A pattern vest looks great paired with a solid shirt, or even a striped shirt.

Striped top, herringbone vest & pointed flats

A turtleneck sweater looks great with a vest.

And almost any sweater looks perfect under a vest.

Â Even a pattern sweater is ok!

And the ultimate layered vest look is a pattern shirt, with a sweater over showing the cuffs and shirt tails, with a vest over top. This is amazing!

What’s your favorite way to wear your vest ladies? Anything I’ve shared today inspired you to wear your vest a different way?

A simpleÂ accessoryÂ can really add toÂ the look of your outfit. I’m thinking of something that we all probably have in our closet, just sitting there waiting to be worn. Some are to keep you warm, but mainly this accessory is for the look it gives. Know what I’m talking about?

Scarfs make one of the best fashion accessories. Since there are so many styles and types of scarfs they are an easy choice for a go to accessory.

You can find lightweight choices to jazz up a summer outfit

Or a nice, warm, chunky scarf to wear in the winter

Scarfs look really good with those tall boots sitting in your closet waiting to wear this winter.

There are so many different ways to tie a scarf for different looks too. Sometimes tying it differently can add to the look of your outfit. Here is something I ran across on Pinterest and have saved for reference (click on the photo to be taken to the website).

This site is seriously the know all on how to tie a scarf. I never realized how many different ways, I have my old standby that I always use.

You can pick up a scarf at any store and they are fairly inexpensive. Just like everything though you can purchase some pricey ones! Go with what you like. Solid, pattern, chunky, lightweight, infinity, blanket; whatever you like! That’s what your wardrobe is about. Finding things you like and wearing them so you feel good.

Do you reach for a scarf to jazz up an outfit ladies? What’s your favorite that you have? How do you like wearing it?

We all have that one outfit that is simple and understated but makes us feel amazing. A few pieces put together can help lift your spirits, or at least mine it does mine!

It can be something as simple as wearing your favorite pair of heels with a t-shirt and jeans, or a sexy new bra and panty set under a typical every day work outfit. You’ll know you’ve got something sexy going on underneath and it can really bring a smile to your face.

I love this set below. Simple and understated, but man those heels really help pull this outfit out of an ordinary day look.

Other accessories can help bring that spark to a normal outfits; a new statement necklace, or a new purse, maybe even a gorgeous new color on your lips.

Share with me ladies; what is your favorite way to jazz up an ordinary outfit and put a spring in your step?

Let’s bring it on back to some beautiful lingerie on the blog today ladies. It can be tough to find a style of lingerie that fits every body shape, but there is one universal piece and that’s what we’re gonna chat about today.

A chemise is a beautiful slip piece of lingerie. Usually made of satin, these are soft and delicate, but can also be lacy and see through. You can usually find a matching robe or kimono to accompany your chemise.

A matching robe can really add to the look of your chemise. Some woman aren’t comfortable in just the chemise so the accompanying robe is a great choice.

I feel this type of lingerie fits every body style because it’s not figure hugging for those who do not want that look, but for those that do there certainly are lace pieces. The straps are adjustable on these so if you need a bit of extra support you can adjust them for your girls.

The satin chemise and robe are a great choice for your boudoir shoot and for the bedroom (or behind closed doors). This is a very popular style for bridal lingerie too. Don’t forget your stilettos!

What do you think ladies, is this your style? With robe, or without robe? Satin or lace?

I love being able to wear the same wardrobe piece throughout different seasons, but it can be hard to transform it. Â Today I’m gonna touch on different ideas on how to wear the same staple piece each season.

Your first step is to find a great staple wardrobe piece. Today I’m using a spaghetti strap dress as an example.

Let’s start with the top left look, Winter. A beautiful jewel toned heave scarf paired with a pair of knee length boots is such a great way to wear this dress during the cold season. Wearing some tights for a bit of extra warmth would be a great addition.

Spring means you can wear the dress almost without a sweater, but you know those Spring evenings can still be a bit chilly. A lightweight sweater helps to transform this look into something for this season.

Ah Summer, the time where you can really wear this without a jacket, however the jean jacket is a great option for a cooler summer day. A pair of strappy wedges helps this dress to scream summer.

Autumn, Fall, whatever you wanna call it. With a slight chill in the air, you’ll probably want to wear a light jacket for some warmth. A light scarf is a great accessory and some ankle booties are a great footwear choice. I would add some leggings too if it’s a bit cooler in your area.

What would your staple wardrobe piece be that you can transform throughout all 4 seasons? What would be your favorite ways to wear it each season? Share some photos of your ideas with me!

I love having wardrobe pieces that can go from one season to another. It’s nice to have pieces like this that way you can spend a little more money on one piece rather than buying inexpensive pieces to wear for only one season. One specific piece that you can wear in any season is a shirtdress. There are many options and ways to style whenever you are wearing it.

Â This beautiful white sleeveless shirtdress can be dressed up with heels for a Spring night out with the girls, or worn with a cardigan and tights for a winter look.

Â Wearing shorts under a shirtdress is another great way to wear this.

It's a Shirt! It's a Dress! It's a Shirtdress!

A beautiful coat is a great choice to wear with a shirtdress. I love these colors!!

A long sleeve shirtdress is great to wear in Autumn, Winter or even those chilly days in Spring. I love the stripes on this one.

Another long sleeve option is a much more casual look. This would be great to wear in the Spring or even those cool Summer nights.

Do you have a shirtdress you wear during multiple seasons? What’s your favorite way to wear it? Let me know!

I’ve been seeing a few women wearing a crocheted top while I’ve been out and about. They are very beautiful and a great summer style. Now, you’re probably thinking some midriff style top when I say crochet, and yes there are some like that but I’m going to show you other styles that all women can pull off.

This top is amazingly beautiful and is a perfect look for the office. Paired with white or black pants and some heels you are set for a stunning day to night look as well.

Perhaps you are looking for a more casual style, I’ve got you covered there too.

A crocheted top over a tank paired with some comfy jeans and sandals screams relaxed and is a great choice for going to the beach, or a morning stroll at the local farmer’s market.

Of course there are tank top styles as well. Paired a pair of tailoredÂ shorts this look is great and isÂ perfect for this warm summer weather.

The last look I’m going to share with you today is another upscale look like we started with. Paired with a pencil skirt and some flattering shoes a crocheted top can be that standout accessory for your evening out.

Alright ladies, do you have a crocheted top or shrug that you love to wear? What style is it? What do you wear it with? Is it more of a dress up or casual look? As always, don’t forget to accessorize accordingly!
