Lacey Long Sleeves

Well, one trend I've noticed this year is lacey long sleeves.  Perfect for the winter season, yet still flirting with the more stylish side.  This top is one of my favorites from Christmas, leave it to my 83 year old Grammy to pick out something so cute.  Not only is it a lace material, but it has a slight peplum styled waist.  To top it off, turn around and check out the full zipper back - I love this detail!  Since the top is really the focus, I wore black ponte pants for bottoms.  These happen to be a TJ Maxx find from last year. 

Do you like this top?  I was in Macy's this weekend and saw it still hanging on the rack - look for Petticoat Alley.

I kept this look sleek with keeping my accessories simple.  I chose a long silver necklace with a studded key pendent by LC Lauren Conrad (Kohl's) and finished the outfit with my new Betsey Johnson white and rose gold chunky watch.  

More than a Sweatshirt

Well now that its cold, a sweatshirt always sounds nice to wear!  Find one that's more than just a plain pull over and you'll be able to get away with it... probably even in the office.  I saw this one at Marshalls, full front zipper and a lot of ruffles.  I love the detail, right down to the back ruffle that pulls in the waist. 

Dress comfortably, yet still stylish!

Turquoise and Zippers

I instantly fell in love with this shirt when I spotted it on the rack at Lucky Lady! If you missed my earlier post, Lucky Lady is one of my all time favorite shops - hidden on the boardwalk in Seaside, NJ.  I absolutely love being in there, they got the atmosphere all right!

The office called for something a little dressier than normal so I knew just what to pull out in the morning.  I immediately noticed the detail and design... puckered shoulders, slimmed waist, the cut, and the black sheer material sewn over the front.  Not to mention the top to bottom zipper up the back - so cool!  Don't be afraid to add some intricate pieces to your wardrobe to keep it lively!    

With a shirt like this, I just needed to pair black dress pants and a pair of heels to finish the look.  When wearing a top with all the details such as this, keep the bottom simple to keep the focus on the top.  Too much will make it tacky and take away the style.
