Ring in the New Year

What better time of year to dress up than New Year's Eve? You can bring in the new year with style in this outfit that pairs a gold Dupioni silk belted jacket with petal hemline from Eskaton Studios with a provocative eggplant velvet skirt from Ipseity. Dance the night away in sparkly slingbacks, and be the belle of the ball in a stunning Van Cleef & Arpels amethyst-and-diamond necklace.

Paris In The Springtime

This ultra-fem yellow skirt with intricate beaded swirls and a lace edged hem, paired with a corset-style lace blouse is a perfect ensemble for spring.

With a purple slingback from oh...Deer!

Sunshine On A Cloudy Day

Just because the weather is overcast and dreary doesn't mean your clothes have to be! This hemp/cotton blend Dijon tee brings out the subtle golden-yellow pattern in the retro wool skirt, and a Merino wool cardigan with flared waist and bell sleeves adds a dainty touch to the outfit.

Let the sun shine with these suede knee-high boots

Conservatively Curvy

This combo is conservative enough for office wear, but it's still fun with the ultra-feminine cut of the pieces and the splash of purple. The jacket is from Viyella and the darted pencil skirt is Labour of Love.

Going With The Flow

I loved this purple "waterfall" blouse the moment I saw it on Coast. I thought it needed to be paired with a straight skirt or slim trouser to counterbalance it. Then I found this skirt on ModCloth, and when I put the two together, I saw that continuing the flow throughout the outfit was more cohesive.

Sunny Days

Denim skirts can cover a broad range of styles - from trampy to cowgirl to frumpy. This denim skirt from Marks & Spencer is delightfully different with a very tailored and refined cut and look. I paired it with a retro 1950's orange blouse that carries that same tailored and refined appeal (from ModCloth).

Glamour At The Office

Pair a retro ruffled gold blouse from Sears with a trendy purple jacket by Anne Klein and grey trousers from Nordstrom and you have a stunning and unique office look.
