Frump to Fabulous in 3 Seconds

With a  collarless blazer,  you instantly go from frump to pretty fab.  I love that these blazers are polished and a little edgy.  They are a must have item in my client’s wardrobe.  They are perfect over a dress, great with a skirt, and an easy way to dress up jeans and a tee. 

Ever look in the mirror in the morning and not feel completely happy with your clothing choice?  You don’t have the time or patience to change your whole outfit, but you do feel a little frumpy. Whenever I am in these situations (yes, even I have fashion blunders) I put on a collarless blazer.  I instantly go from frump to pretty fab.  I love that these blazers are polished and a little edgy.  They are a must have item in my client’s wardrobe.  They are perfect over a dress, great with a skirt, and an easy way to dress up jeans and a tee. 

I also love the collarless blazers that a little stretch (more like a cardigan). They aren’t as constricting as a blazer sometimes can be, especially if you’re at a desk all day.

I have many clients that prefer this style over a traditional blazer.   Blazers can be challenging if you have a larger chest; if it doesn't fit perfectly, the lapels can bend and gape in unflattering ways. The smooth lines of a collarless blazer allow the front of the jacket to glide over your chest without that  awkward bulge.

Spring trends that will become classics

Have you ever bought an item, thought you loved it, and wore it for one season for it to never be worn again?  Now when you look at it hanging in your closet you think “why did I buy that and when did I ever wear that?”  You probably bought a piece that was the IT trend last year and feel like you will be wearing “last year’s old news” if you were to wear it now.  Where did you go wrong?  You’re not a fashion victim… It happens to the best of us… who can resist those bell sleeves that can be found everywhere from Target to Bergdorf’s?  I’m not telling you to avoid trends all together, I myself cannot resist a good trend.  I tell my clients if you are going to make an investment in a trend item, try to picture yourself wearing it in two years.  There are a number of Spring 2017 trends what will stand the test of time….
