Outfit Details: ALICE + OLIVIA SILK JABOT DRESS, BLACK ANKLE STRAP WEDGES, SKINNY WHITE PATENT BELT, BRIVEE BOUTIQUE WHITE VENUS DANGLE EARRINGS

Hi loves! I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday weekend. I know it’s been a tough year for everyone, so if this wasn’t the best Christmas because you were quarantined, affected by COVID-19, weren’t able to see family, felt alone, etc. – just know it will be OK and you are LOVED.

Let’s just look towards a bright and promising future for 2021 – especially when we can finally dress up to actually go OUT somewhere…anywhere😂!

 

 

Although times have changed and we are home a lot more often, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be thinking about your personal style. It’s proven facts that getting dressed and ready every day improves productivity. If you are feeling great about what you’re wearing, you will feel great about getting work done and improving on daily tasks.

If you’re looking to elevate your style for 2021 (as we all should), here are some tips to help start that transition:

1. Remove everything you don’t absolutely love from your closet (fill a bag of donations or start selling!)
2. Purchase quality pieces (this doesn’t mean to spend a fortune on clothes – if you want affordable quality clothing and to also be sustainable, purchase from resale sites like The Real Real, Poshmark, Mercari, and Ebay)
3. If you’re home, elevate your style by switching out sweats for a comfy pair of cotton paperbag pants instead.  Switch out hoodies for a nice cardigan. You can still be comfortable but also presentable!
4. Hire a personal stylist (me!) I can help elevate your style by doing a wardrobe cleanse, curate outfits from your current wardrobe, or find new pieces for your wardrobe to shop on your personalized microsite. View packages and pricing here.

 

 

For Christmas, Button and I still dressed up and were extra of course! It’s really only the right thing to do (especially during these times) that will still make you feel like the beautiful being you are!

I wore the beautiful Alice + Olivia Jabot silk dress that was worn by Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl. That show was so ahead of it’s time – the amazing styles on that show will always be relevant, especially with the high quality brands and pieces worn. You can find this dress on the resale market like Poshmark!

I added my own white skinny patent belt from Amazon. I loved the contrast with the colors of the dress, but also matched the white to my new Venus earrings by Brivee Boutique.

My favorite wedges of all time are these platform ankle strap ones from Amazon. I just picked up this new replacement pair, since the last ones I had for 6 years really had it’s run (I wore them SO many times). These wedges will always be cool in my eyes 😂.

 

 

 

For me, this is one of my most favorite Christmas looks. My style is definitely more elevated and sophisticated now. I mean, I’m wearing a silk dress! Not a polyester shirt dress with no value 🥴. Of course, there are times when I’m more casual, but the quality of clothing I’m wearing is still better than a casual outfit I would have worn before.

The key is to find your style and what works for you. How you’ll make either one small or large adjustment to your style that will elevate you to the next level. For me, it was definitely quality.

 

 

Let’s set these goals for New Years 2021! We all want to feel confident and beautiful in what we wear, no matter if we are leaving the house or not. And if you need help achieving this goal, book me as your personal stylist! Let’s do this together! 😃
