The Tiered Crepe Dress

I'm all about my new crepe dress from Banana Republic.  Don't you just love the color?  I may or may not have a soft spot for all things mustard.  I know pros say yellows clash with asian skin tones, but I don't care.  I think it looks good, and that's all that matters.  Personal style is exactly that. Personal.  Wear what you want, when you want.  If you happen to like something that's trending, great!  If not, who cares.  Wear what makes YOU happy!  It's all about confidence anyways.  
Anywho, if you're interested in this dress, make sure you pick it up STAT because it's currently on sale HERE for $49.99 - it was originally $140 so you're getting a good deal.  This dress is made of 100% polyester, but it feels like silk.  Like all BR designs, this item is quality.  Everything from the fabric to the cut is legit.  The graceful tiers will ooze sophistication and elegance, and as a plus, you'll get tons of wear out of it because it works all year long - wear it sans jacket in warm weather and layer like nobody's business in the Fall & Winter.

It was fairly warm today so I threw on a light jacket and walked out the door.  Man, the weather here has been giving me serious whiplash.  It's freezing one day and totally warm the next. I have NO idea what's going on, but I def. don't mind the spring-y weather.  Mid-60s? Uh, yes please. Andddd I totally just got off topic.   Again.  Sorry!  I'm kind of all over the place right now.  Let's get back to today's look!  I picked my jacket up at Saks Off Fifth a few months ago.  I fell in love with the design at first sight and bought it without thinking twice - it's Free People in case you were wondering. Now, to finish off today's OOTD, I carried my Coach crossbody (you can never go wrong with a bit of animal print) and accessorized with my fave tassel necklace!


The Cowl-Neck Sweater Dress

I can't wait to tell you guys all about my latest find today on Sensible Stylista.  I centered my look around my new sweater dress from Old Navy.  I got it on sale for $10.50 (!!!!) a few days ago.  They were having a big blowout sale for Veteran's Day, so obviously I took advantage.  I tried this dress on in person when it first came out but didn't purchase it because it was expensive - FYI, by "expensive" I mean $39.94, ha.  
I highly suggest purchasing this dress while you can!  It's a must-have in my book because it's chic AND comfortable.  I actually bought it in three other colors in addition to the black pictured below! ...yeah, that's how much I adore this dress.  It features a relaxed fit so you don't have to worry about sucking in or masking your muffin top.  You can purchase this baby HERE if you're interested.  Also, feel free to tweet me, message me, whatever, if you have questions.  I'm always here for you guys!
More on today's OOTD: I styled my dress with my Donna Degnan coat (available HERE).  I don't know what it is about this jacket, but it ups my outfit game whenever I wear it. I decided to keep things simple accessory wise so I threw on my YSL crossbody and called it a day because my Rachel Zoe ankle-strap shoes make quite a statement.  I'm all about simplicity as of late - IMHO, there's nothing worse than over-accessorizing.
Just in case you'd like to shop my look:


Inspired by The Good Wife

I'm beyond excited to partner up with Lafayette 148 New York today on Sensible Stylista.  I drew style inspiration from the TV show, "The Good Wife" and created a classic look for you guys. Alicia Florrick, the title character of the show, always looks polished and sophisticated. Are any of you guys fans of the show?  What do you guys think of her style?
For today's OOTD, I centered my look around my new coat courtesy of Lafayette 148 (available here in four different color pairings).  I paired it with gray skinnies and an oversized sweater for a chic yet comfortable look.  I accessorized with a classic tote but injected personality with a pair of kick@$$ heels.  I purchased these shoes from Saks Off Fifth a while back; they were on sale for $30!  A hell of a deal if you ask me because they're Charles Jourdan - they typically run $200+.
Oh, did I mention that my coat's reversible? Ta-da!  I'm not sure which side I like more so I'm going to ask you guys.  Do you prefer the black or the gray?
