SL Essential: Skinny Jeans

One of the questions that I hear quite often is “where can I get an affordable pair of skinny jeans that fit”, so since a good pair of skinny jean is a Suite Life essential piece I thought that I would direct you to a few of my favorite places to shop for this sought after jean at an affordable price:

1.       Forever 21 and Forever 21 Plus $13-$30
2.       Old Navy $ 30- $35
3.       American Eagle Outfitters $30

I also like to find skinnies from Calvin Kline, Levis, Bongo and Seven at TX Maxx, Ross and Marshalls. The most comfortable jeans for me are from Dots.  I wear a size 13- 15 so I need to find pairs that fit my curves. If you are a plus size like me check out:

1.       Forever 21 Plus  $13-$30
2.       Torrid $59
3.       Avenue $12-40
4.       Dots  $17- $30

Dont Be Shy- Pull Out the Bright Peices

Does the weather still having you feeling grey like me? Pull out the bright peices. Don't be shy-you can handle the attention. The spotlight will be on the hue, so pair a bright color with a toned down neutral suit. Keep the lines crisp and simple and let the color do all the work.  

Mix it up

Colors, prints, fabrics and silhouettes are made to mingle so don’t be afraid to mix it up. Motivated by J.Crew, lately I have been mixing and matching traditional fall fabrics like these trousers with bright bold colors. Rust and Cobalt Blue, who knew?  By grounding the brazen color with a traditional, tailored piece like these pants by Sandro that I picked up for $15 at TJ Maxx, my outfit felt fun and not over the top. I felt funky and professional at the same time, I love that the two can coexist in one outfit.

Make a Statement with Red

Don’t you feel like a kid in a candy store in fall?  There are so many choices of colors and designer delights.  I almost can’t contain myself.  I picked these BCBG heels up at Ross last week for $23.00.  Every season there is a go to color and this fall season it seems to be red. To be honest, I think anything spicy will do. I picked this Studio I dress up for $16.99 to spice up my looks for the season.  So whether you want to make a big statement by wearing it head to toe or just spice up an outfit for fall by adding just a pop of color through a red belt or shoes. Here’s my first red look for season.
