Fashion Rx: Your weekly dose of what to wear!

You've noticed this past week that your work wardrobe is a little, well, blah.  It's all blacks, greys, beiges, and, quite frankly, boring.  Need a work week pick me up in terms of fashion?

The Cure: Work Week Chic

There is no reason you can't bring color to the office.  Are you going to wear that sexy little red dress you have saved away, no, but red is a power color and can be quite appropriate when you've got a major meeting or presentation, when worn tastefully of course.  Take for example this fab color block skirt, pencil fit with red, black, and blue, both cut and color are just the thing to brighten your look.  As always pair with power pumps and a crisp white button down and your are primped and prime to be the  boss!

Need a go to outfit for the summer? Something that is casual but has the potential to be dressed up? Does such an outfit exist? Of course it does, let me show you!

The Cure: Blank Slate

The simplest, most classic, look is a white silk tank and a pair of skinnies!  I've chosen a silk tank because it's easier to dress up than something cotton, and while they may not be perfect for heat, skinnies are the sexiest cut of denim out there.  With this as your palette accessorize till your heart is content.  For something fun and casual choose a colorful scarf, clutch, and flats, for something a little more upscale layer on the jewelry and don a sexy pair of pumps.  Regardless what you add you can't go wrong!

Ok ladies today is the day, Black Friday, the annual shop till you drop post Thanksgiving craze.  What it means is that more likely than not you will be spending most of your day in a dressing room trying on fabulous clothes that you're going to get fabulous deals on.  The most important thing to remember about dressing for today, easy on easy off, it will make your dressing room experience that much less stressful!

The Cure: Simple Shopping Chic

My first suggestion is going to be black leggings, lets not kid ourselves, after a day full of eating our denim may not be that comfortable. Wear a pair with something extra, like a zipper up the back, to give your look edge. Next, go for a ponch sweater, it will save you from carrying a jacket around and keep you warm.  I like this one because it cinches at the waist, layer it over a simple long sleeve white tee, or an embellished one if you think you might lose the poncho later in the day. As for shoes, you might be surprised, but I'm going to suggest a wedge, the heel height is comfortable for all day wear, they slide on and off quickly, and probably give your arches more support than a pair of flats.

Remember while you're shopping today to save some of your energy to shop Small Business Saturday!!!

One of the toughest things to deal with in creating a summer wardrobe is finding pieces that can be both work and play appropriate.  We want to bear the skin that has been hiding so long under sweaters and pants, but showing skin in the office is a big no no.  Is it possible to utilize a summer trend in an work environment?  You bet, thanks to the maxi skirt!

The Cure: Office Appropriate Attire

A great summer ensemble that is both on-trend and appropriate starts with a maxi skirt, which gives you the flowy light-weight feel of summer, but with a "take me seriously" length.  Pair the skirt with a ruffled print top, and top it off with a cropped blazer before you head into that meeting.  Pointy toed kitten wedges and a bag with some hardware are apropos accessories for this office outfit.

So now that the weather is getting warmer you're excited to try all of the new bright, bold, color combinations that celebrate spring.  Your fear is that your ability to mix and match fails in comparison to the top designers of this seasons runways.  How can you start adding these great combinations and not worry about clashing your colors?

The Cure: Printastic!

Start with a basic pair of dark denim, or lighter if you wish depending on your mood and find a great printed blouse that incorporates the color combinations of the season.  The print keeps you from messing up your mash up of color.  Go with a basic shoe and 3/4 sleeve lightweight blazer, then choose one color from the print that you want to stand out and coordinate your accent piece with that color.

Side effects: Choose just ONE accent color and ONE accent piece, even if you keep with the colors of the print, choosing more than one could make your look unbalanced.
