Having had my Family Christmas in the South last weekend, I cannot help but think about New Years Eve (It is REALLY still three weeks away?!?!?). Last year I was decked out in Silver Glitter and a Little Black Dress (here).

This year I want to put together a look that is Old-Hollywood-Glamour meets Rock-Star-Punk.

Here are some of the ideas I have collected so far…… tell me what you think!

Gold Look-At-Me-NOW Dress (here):

Dolce & Gabbana Dress

Bright Pink “WOW” Lips: 

ANY of these rings to accent my dress:

A leather jacket is a must-have for a chilly NYE night:

DREAM Shoes for the Evening (Louboutins of course!):

What are YOU wearing for New Years Eve?

Seattle weather is fickle. Freezing in the morning, tolerable in the afternoon, pitch-black and windy/rainy on way home. I have learned to dress in layers and be prepared for anything.For today's Look for Less I would like to highlight the Shorts & Tights combination on Miranda Kerr:

**On Miranda: Isabel Marant Coat (here), Boots (here), Givenchy Bag (here)**

What better way to layer than with Tights, Shorts, Boots and a fabulous Coat?!?!

Look For Less: Miranda Kerr

Mango sweat shirt / Vero Moda , $86 / H&M , $32 / Diane von Furstenberg opaque tight / London Rebel black boots, $64 / Christian Dior lip stick

Would YOU wear Shorts & Tights together? Tell me why or why not....

Have a Fab Weekend Lovelies!

Frugal Fridays – One Dress/Two Ways

Posted on by
Reply

As a frugal Fashionista, I am all about finding multiple ways to wear the clothes in my closet (Vintage jackets with jeans, flirty dress with blazers for work etc.). Mix and Matching pieces can extend the wearabilty of your clothes and leaves more cash in your pocket (to spend on more clothes ~ it's a wonderful Catch22!).For today's edition of Frugal Fridays, start with a Summer dress that you own in a BRIGHT FUN color and wear it to the Office and then to Happy Hour drinks after work!Tip: Keep a sexy pair of heels in your desk drawer in case of last minute plans...{Love this dress from H&M}

 

One Dress / Two Ways

 


H&M wrap dress, $32 / Wal G cotton blazer, $75 / Rabbit coat / Dollhouse black boots / Charlotte Russe high heel shoes / Miss Selfridge pearl jewelry / Gold jewelry / Giorgio Armani

Have a Lovely Weekend!!xxoo ~ Jamie

Does anyone else LOVE the Gilbert and Sullivan-like theme in the Spring 2013 Collection of Meadham Kirchhoff??Reviewing the collection, my mind was instantly transported back in time to my days of musical theater in college. Nostalgia set in for the costumes, music and elevated drama of the likes of H.M.S. Pinafore and The Pirates of Penzance. Although I am not quite sure how to incorporate the collection into every-day street wear for Seattle, I still gaze longingly at the eye-catching corsets and bloomers!Enjoy!What Musical Theater Styles do you LOVE?xxoo ~ Jamie Images via: Vogue.com
