The world of fashion is one that I never wish to visit. I wish to live there instead. An outsider’s view is tainted by flashbulbs and glitter. On the inside you can see the industry without its makeup on…

Anywhere, Anytime

Today I want to talk to you about the most important word for fashionistas on a budget (such as I): Versatile!
We all do it, we walk into Barnies or Nordstroms knowing that we can't afford that fabulous little pencil skirt in the window and no matter how many arguments we make with ourselves we can't justify $600 dollars for a wool skirt no matter how adorable it is. So here's an idea: high end chain stores. J. Crew and Anthropolgie are both tres adorable and you can get great pieces for reasonable prices that you can accessories for work or play. Here are a few outfit ideas to get you through a long winter or shopping temptations....


J. Crew:


Work-
Felted Wool Mini (be bold, try the mustard yellow!), Silk Two-Way Tee, Super 120s Pinstripe Dietrich Jacket, Solid Opaque Tights, Dida Platform Pump.


Play-
Ditch the jacket and tights, add the Silk Ribbon Multi-chain Necklace, and the Deco Bow Headband and you're set for a night out with the girls.

Anthropologie:


Work-
Lucerna Dress (red is hot this season), Clinton Trench, Gold Revealed Flats, Warm Blooming Beret


Play- Lose the beret, replace the flats with High Top Heels, and add the Sophisticate's Corsage Bracelet. You'll be sure to get the attention of every cutie in the place.


Bloomingdales:


Work: Rachel Roy Signature Stretch Velveteen Skinny Pants, Sue Wong Silk Strapless Embellished Top, Aqua Cashmere Open Cardigan, Salvatore Ferragamo "Carla" Pump with Logo Bow, Tori Birch Logo Clutch.


Play: Set those shoulders free and abandon the sweater, exchange those adorable Ferragamo's for some Steve Madden "Caryssa" Glitter Platform Pumps, and top it off with a pair of Alexis Bittar Crystal Encrusted Single Link Earrings.
