Weekly Fashion Update with Jackie!
Happy Monday!
Always in fashion –
black. It’s chic and polished. Being someone who loves colors and patterns,
the black look isn’t my go-to. But that
doesn’t mean we can’t play every now and then!
This sweater inspired
the outfit. I originally wanted it in
grey with black sleeves, but they were sold out. As luck would have it, the black is even
better. It looks high end and so much
better than I ever imagined. The tighter
leather sleeves balance out the super slouchy sweater giving it shape. And the mixing of materials gives it more
depth. The sweater in black was just
begging to be paired with skinny black jeans and black shoes. Here it’s paired with combat boots, but a
heeled boot would look equally amazing.
Best to keep
accessories to a minimum here. The Chaos
ring is a perfect accent piece with the rutilated quartz complimenting the
black ensemble.
These Truth earrings are a splendid and simple touch.

A winter silhouette
can be a bit monotonous, so the hunt is on for some looks to change it up while
still keeping warm. All these ASOS picks
are under $100 so we can keep our wallets as chunky as our sweaters!
Which sweater is your
favorite?

Our Weekly Fashion Update with Jackie!
Welcome back!
This week, let’s look
at re-purposing some of your favorite pieces. Who says your best summer
pieces can't be worn year round?
Here's a few fave
looks from this week:
This skirt pictured
above is so beautiful. It's light, airy, and feminine; it has these
gorgeous openings in the front and back that flow so marvelously as you
walk. A tank top with this skirt is perfection. To make this function
in a work environment, you really need a cover-up of some sort. For some
time I had been pairing it with a sweater; it does not look great. It
detracts from the skirt and the overall look can get a bit frumpy. I was determined
to find something that worked, because there was no way this skirt was going to
be tucked away in the closet.
Enter a great plaid
shirt! Tied up in true '90's fashion, it complements the skirt while
providing a super cute cover-up option with a subtle nod to grunge.
As far as shoes, I
used my new boots from last week! They actually work super well with this
look.
How about some NY love
with this look? J&L New York State Ring!

In keeping with the
grunge trend, a black spinel entwined ring would be perfect:

For a softer, feminine
look, here's a classic James & Lily favorite: Catherine Ring!

I wanted to try out
this look before it got too chilly. Walking around NYC you’ll see a
myriad of amazing looks. On the train every morning, the temptation to
take pictures of all this great fashion looms large. But I don't want to
be a creep here. So as the old adage goes, "Imitation is the
sincerest form of flattery".
These shorts are
perfect. Seriously. They're high-waisted which is super flattering
and loose at the thigh which is a nice contrast to traditional shorts.
And the pattern....oh my. Lovely. They could really be paired with
a variety of tops, because they're the star of the show. I chose a
sweater - seasonally appropriate and gave the look a casual feel.
I encourage you to try
out shorts and tights! It's fun and could really go in a variety of
different directions. I love the casual and playful look when paired with
a sweater. And a sexier top and a change of shoes could transition this
combination to an amazing date night look.
In keeping with the
bright theme, I love these rings.

step out of your comfort zone! Try out some of those trends you've been
loving! It may just open up a whole new world for you.
What's the trend you're dying to try?
XOXO!
