ttF Fashion Staple: Cold Shoulder Blouse
Last month, I showed six ways to wear a ladylike jacket. This tweed version is equally as versatile. I’ve worn it with jeans, dresses and today, cigarette pants. I usually wear this brooch on the jacket, but instead used it to add interest to my tie blouse. Since the jacket covers the slit sleeves, the blouse became conservative enough for meetings. And how amazing is this bag? It’s another accessory I borrowed from my mom’s fab collection. The patent texture is a fresh spin on the ombré trend.

ttF Fashion Diary: Bustier Spice

ttF Fashion Staple: Black Bustier
My absolute favorite way to wear a bustier is with jeans. It’s so simple, yet incredibly sexy. Since it’s been a little chilly, I added a tweed jacket and used my crystal heels for sparkle. A red lip was an easy way to bring my daytime makeup into night. Plus, I was having a bad day and red lipstick has the magical ability to uplift my spirits. I had planned to go to a nice dinner with my friend but because of time constraints (aka I still haven’t packed for Miami and my flight leaves in 8 hours) we ended up just settling for delish Creole cooking at the Gumbo Pot in the Farmer’s Market. I was a tad over dressed but I suppose the spice of my outfit matched the Cajun jambalaya.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Spirit Day
In honor of LGBT teens who took their lives because of tragic bullying, I wore purple and participated in Spirit Day. Instead of a simple purple top, I went with a tweed jacket that has lavender accents, an amethyst brooch and my plum booties from last month’s ttF Fashion Staples Series. It was so nice to see all my E! co-workers unite for the cause. So we took a group shot on the balcony. I uploaded another one on Twitter in case you want to follow any of them as well.

Smart Sale Shopping: Classics

shopping-classics

As discounts continue to deepen, it’s getting harder to pass up a good deal. But just because a dress is 80% off doesn’t mean you should buy it. Especially if that dress has a plaid print, bubble hem, built in chain-necklace or any other trendy feature from fall.

It’s fine if an item was popular, just as long as it’s a classic. Take for instance, Diane von Furstenberg’s Benny dress. Celebrities loved this dress last year. And so did I. I could only find it in my size in black, otherwise I would have bought it in every other color. The silhouette is timeless and the seaming is very flattering. But the best part is, the dress is seasonless.

For winter, I’ve shown it paired with a tweed jacket, sheer tights, classic pumps and a sparkly pendant. Come spring, I’ll wear it with a trendy geometric statement necklace and zipper platforms.
