During the holiday season, more often than not, most of the events we go to tend to be on the lower key side, rather than something more formal. And it also can be cold. So I’ve worked to combine both warmth and comfort with holiday sparkle.
This outift has quickly become one of my favorites because it meets all the criteria. A simple sweater and jeans but wait! There’s more! A chiffon pleated back on the sweater and glam elements-like these pointed toe sparkly flats from Sole Society and my blingy necklace. Talk about a kicked up casual outfit and perfect for any lower key holiday events. Add in a cute snakeskin bag and the only thing missing is the spiked eggnog…mmmm eggnog. ‘Tis the season!
Much love,
Mel

It’s official. As much as I adore heels, I run up and down stairs too much at work for heels to be as comfortable as they once were. So I’ve been re-vamping my flats collection and looking at mid-heels (a height I never thought I would be comfortable with) as alternatives.
When looking at flats, I right away go to my trusted Sam Edelman. My much-beloved leopard flats have lasted for over three years so I don’t mind investing a few dollars in getting another pair or two. These rose gold pair are fantastic to dress up an outfit without any real effort and they go with so much! They make choosing flats over heels a little more bearable. Now, what other colors to buy?!
Much love,
Mel

Good Morning!
I always tell my clients that one of the best things you can own for your professional workwear, besides a pencil skirt, is one of these more form fitting shift dresses. They are figure flattering and so simple to wear year-round, no matter what your climate is like.
I found this one at Madewell while we were in San Francisco last week. Best part, besides the color that I love, is that it was on sale for $30 less the original price. Our office is normally sub-zero thanks to the air conditioning so I did pair it with a mint sweater, but once I left the office, this is what I was wearing.
Hope everyone is enjoying their day! Or at least counting the minutes until happy hour! 😉
Much love,
Mel

Hello again, friends!
Sorry for the delay. The weather was not cooperating for blog pics and quite frankly, neither was my day-to-day life.
Although I do tend to add a fair amount of new pieces into my wardrobe every season, I do make a concientious effort to keep some of my older pieces in rotation. One of the ways I do this is by ensuring that when I buy something, I know it can be pieced a multitude of ways. Take this dress for instance, I’ve worn it to weddings, wine events, and just to dinner. The only thing I’ve changed is the shoes and if/what I wear over it. Here I’ve made it a little more casual by throwing on my denim jacket. If we were walking some place, I would wear my flat sandals and not heels. Easy peasy. A dress for everything. What’s in your closet?!
Much love,
Mel
