  I hate to admit it but it is starting to feel like fall, with cooler nights and shorter days. It's not fall that I don't like it's winter. I mean I live in Minnesota, enough said. So it's already day seven of my little project. So here goes with another idea for an age appropriate outfit, worn with denim jeans. Again please don't copy these looks, but take inspiration from them and develop your own style from what you see and learn here. 
  I am not afraid to wear color, it keeps me sane actually, so this orange red sweater (Tippi by J. Crew) which is a recent "hot" fashion color is just what the doctor ordered for me. Paired with my Levi's Trucker vest, adorned with vintage cameo pins. Depending on what I want to wear for jewelry I might change the pins for another collection of them, or have nothing at all if I am wearing a bold necklace. Do not over accessorize.  The belt is a antiqued gold from Paris that I have had forever, the jeans are  Matchstick by J. Crew. I would do the bold bigger fold up cuff on the bottom of the jeans for this look.

Brown bag and black biker boots. Perfection.

Brown bag and boots works too.

Brown bag and Italian boots make it a bit more dressy but still very casual.

Day One of 30 days of Denim.

   This is a great outfit for all year really. Here in the land of ice and snow I would probably wear a cotton camisole underneath, for added warmth. The top is from J. Crew a few seasons ago, but it's still very relevant very French. I have a skinny red belt with the jeans but it won't show as the top is longer. I have added one of my favorite necklaces it's a J. Crew Bubble Necklace in red. The jeans are 505 from Kohl's they are in a dark wash, which I love (I think it makes me look skinnier). The roll at the bottom of these jeans would either be the fold over twice roll with the heels and then depending on where the hem hits for the ballet flats I would do the softer, less structured roll.  I would then add my red HOBO bag and either the red high heels or the black ballet flats. Tres Chic and appropriate for almost anywhere, shopping, work (if you can wear nice jeans), dining, theatre, out and about.

 These blogs will have lots and lots of ideas and information as to how and why the outfits and accessories work together. Stay tune for this coming Monday, August 13th to begin the journey.

What to do about bling.

 I peraonlly love bling, and right now I am more than a little in love with these big bid necklaces or statement pieces of jewelry as I think they really spark up an otherwise classic look. I do know however, that as you get older bling needs to be handled very sparingly. It certainly should not be worn head to toe, chose one piece of clothing or jewelry to make the statement and then walk away. There is a great blog to look at called http://advancedstyle.blogspot.com/. You need to check it out, I will tell you however, that there a very few of us that should try to copy of these looks. These women know what they are doing and they are great, but few of us can carry it off.
 Go ahead and wear bling just remember chose wisely and sparingly.
