A Worthy Investment: The Black Jumpsuit

From day to night, the red carpet to real life, the black jumpsuit is proving itself to be a major must-have. A black jumpsuit is a fresh alternative to your go-to LBD (especially in the winter) and is also massively versatile.

I don’t even know where to begin when it comes to all the ways you can wear this slip-it-on-and-you’re-done piece. Wear it with loads of accessories, a few key pieces, or none at all. Try it with pumps, flats, or even a pair of converse kicks. Top it off with a blazer, bomber jacket, or cardigan for day and on its own for a night out. Just look at the ladies pictured above- all are wearing jumpsuits and all rocked it totally differently to showcase their personal styles.

In addition to being versatile, a black jumpsuit it is also extremely flattering, especially when worn with black platforms, and creates the illusion of a long and lean silhouette. What more can a girl ask for?

No matter what, the black jumpsuit definitely eliminates the whole ‘closet full of clothes and nothing to wear’ predicament from your life which is why we’ve deemed it a worthy investment.

Celeb Style Inspiration: Ashlee Simpson

If I had to pick one celebrity whose style most resembles my taste and fashion sensibility, I would have to go with Ashlee Simpson, hands down.

Just like Nicole Richie, Ashlee has transformed herself from fashion victim to fashion maven and now has a signature style that is entirely her own and always on point.

Ashlee’s style can best be described as boho-rock. She incorporates elements of both in almost every outfit she sports- be it for running errands or hitting the red carpet- rarely sticking to a single motif. For Ashlee, a boho-maxi calls for some punk-rock accessories, a billowy peasant top will be offset with skinny jeans and converse kicks, and anything flirty or feminine will be toughened up with heavy chains and edgy shoes. No matter what, her style always has that thrown-together effortlessness to it which isn’t easy to pull off.

Ashlee always injects a bit of herself into every look, even when she’s experimenting with trends and styles that are a bit outside of her fashion comfort-zone, and this approach to fashion is definitely one to draw inspiration from.

Read on to learn more about what makes Ashlee’s style so fab and to get the looks pictured above! [Continue reading...]

A Worthy Investment: Grandpa Cardigans

When it comes to vintage goodies like pretty brooches and one-of-a-kind purses, Grandma’s closet is the way to go. With this season’s shift towards the androgynous, however, it might be time to raid grandpa’s closet as well. One wardrobe staple I’m currently obsessing over the grandpa cardigans- such an un-chic name for something so fabulous but even still. I love the whole boho slouchy feel (okay, really wish I had another word for boho at this point, but whatever!) and a loose knit is the perfect way to achieve the look. I am especially a fan of pairing the sweater over a tight silhouette like skinny jeans and a tight tank; it just has this accidental sex-appeal to it which I simply adore. This style will definitely come in handy over the next few months, when fickle-weather-behavior will be at an all-time high and temperatures can go from comfortable to freezing with the snap of a finger or when its warm outside, but freezing in your office. Or even when it’s a bit nippy out but you don’t want to wear a jacket.
