VOGUE BAD

Be bad and wear a graphic tee, short shorts, sky high heels, & a chunky sweater. The weather is cooler now so this outfit is very unexpected.

Much Love & Fashion Fun,

TREND ALERT: PRINTED CARDIGAN

Fall is my favorite time of the year. The days are still warm, the nights have a crisp cool breeze, and the tree leaves are a pretty burnt orange color. There is another thing I love about fall, and that is the fashion. Fall means scarfs, hats, jeans, and outerwear. There is one piece that has caught my eye recently, the printed cardigan. The ethnic print craze has carried over from summer to fall. With this piece you can keep it simple by pairing it with your already have basics. Jeans, a white tee, a statement necklace, and booties will put the cardigan on display as the main piece. I've seen very causal printed cardigans to more dressed up pieces. Will you try this trend?

Much Love & Fashion Fun,

ONE DRESS TWO WAYS

I love this dress. This is the type of dress you can get mileage out of. It can be worn to work, out to dinner, to church, and to brunch. The colors and fabric will make you looked pulled together even when it's dressed down. Look for a versatile dress like this to add to your wardrobe. Go for the best quality you can afford. This dress is only $48 from Topshop. This would be a great Friday look that can carry you from the office to dinner with friends. Tell me your thoughts and opinions. Much Love & Fashion Fun.

THE BASICS

I recently was looking through my closet for something to wear. I soon realized a lot of my core basics have diminished. My blazers are out dated, my jeans need repairing, and I no longer have a LBD. I have put together a list of items I feel all women should always have on hand, the basics. These items will carry you through. You can always add the trend of the moment to your basic pieces to give yourself a new look. I will go into detail about that soon. All items I have listed are under $50. Much Love & Fashion Fun.

HOW TO ROCK COLOR PANTS

Red hot leather pants too bright for you? Try wearing a softer color pant with a neutral top and accessories. This will help introduce you to wearing brighter color pants. Check out how some of these celebrities rocked the look. I put together a light neutral option and dark neutral option. All pieces are under $50. Enjoy!

THAT'S JUST WRONG

Finally!  Employees come forth about Forever 21's bad practices within the company.  In the recent article from the Huff Post (written by Alice Hines) states one current and four former employees filed a lawsuit today against the company for unpaid wages.  Didn't we all see this day coming?  The five ladies alleges Forever 21 made them work during their lunch breaks and also made them wait for their bags to be checked once off the clock.  It's not uncommon for the manager to ask a sales associate to work during (lunch) breaks because the store is busy or short staffed.  Waiting for bags to be checked after clocking out can be a one minute process or a 20 minute process.  If managers are busy they sometimes make the staff wait while finishing the task at hand then they will check bags.  It is also a fact Forever 21 makes their employees clock out and clock back in if employees have worked 8 hours or more.  Maybe they don't want to pay the overtime.  Everything is hear-say until proven guiltily or innocent.  Will you continue shopping at the store after reading this story?  Do you work there?  Have you worked there?  I would love to hear your stories.  Enjoy!
