How I’m wearing leopard

I think a button up leopard print is a great way to spice up an all black look!

The pants are super comfortable and have the most unique pattern on the front! They are fabulous!

Sephora birthday gift!!

Makeup by Mario lip pencil in Rich Mauve
Moisture glow plumping in Rosewood glow

This lip pencil just glided in so easily I was impressed by that!
The lipstick felt a teeny bit spicy after applying but I imaging that’s the lip plumping action.

Colors were really pretty. A bit darker then I’m used to but would be fabulous for a night out look!

The plaid jacket!

I love this outfit for mulling around town!
This brown hoodie is the softest! It washes well and still stays soft! Looks like brown is sold out but there is a men’s version in this color.

The long plaid coat is pretty lightweight but still gives a bit of warmth on a chilly day. I think it really adds visual interest to the outfit! It gives me “breakfast Club” vibes!!

The jeans are loose but not sloppy. I like to roll the hems. They are also always on sale it seems!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

Everything I’m wearing is size S or S-M

Starting with an elegant fall statement plaid skirt that is light and flowing. The fabric on this drapes beautifully.

If there’s an off the shoulder option, I’m signing up for it! This black off the shoulder sweater is soft and adds a bit of a romantic look.

The long trench coat is made from faux suede and is very soft. It can be easily worn with a more casual look too! This brown suede coat is a winner!

The burgundy dress is semi sheer and quite short but the lining is sewn into shorts!!

Finally a bit of Halloween spirit with this ghost patterned sweatshirt. It looks like it’s sold out but I’ve linked another cute Halloween top!

This is the boot I’m considering for this winter.
It’s short, but will keep the snow off of my socks,
It has a very small heel (1.5”) so I can walk around easily in them.

The foot narrows so it’s stylish but is slightly squared off at the toe so it’s not a tripping hazard.

The description is leather upper material… which I should hope is real leather!

Dark sweater with white stitching

Both are warm and stylish… a bit oversized but the price is the major difference.

One is from Anthropologie and the other is from Commense

Some things change, but my style spot doesn’t.

From my first favorite jeans to now, @dynamiteclothing has been my go-to for years!

🤍 Proof that great style is ageless

I’m wearing a faux leather skirt in black with stretch around the waist. The front slit adds a feminine touch, while the midi length keeps it refined.

I’ve paired it with a rib knit turtleneck. The fabric is warm and soft and can easily be dressed up or dressed down.

The final piece is a burgundy wool coat. It’s figure flattering and looks like pure elegance!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKStyleTip #LTKOver40

This pair of jeans was designed by the founder Diesel

These wide-leg jeans use special masking techniques to create contrasting color zones. Dark side panels visually slim while lighter front and back add dimension. Structured oversized pockets balance the relaxed silhouette.

This is a “curvy” pair of brown denim jeans. They are quite loose on me but if you have curves, these would be perfect t!

They are relaxed, have a no-gap high waist, zip fly and loose leg

I thought this was such a cute wrap bracelet - it’s a more casual look but adds a ton of flair to an outfit. They say it’s made of leather but the price does not reflect that! It’s so affordable!

The 3 pillars of a polished look (according to me 😉)

1. Clothes that fit well.
It doesn’t matter what size or shape you are, choose pieces that compliment your body.

My personal opinion is a blazer finishes an outfit quite nicely and almost looks universally good if the right shape and length is chose.
This Burberry blazer is very special to me as it was gifted to me by my sister in law ❤️

2. Styling & Cohesion
Choose a complimentary color scheme
I love a monochromatic look. I always think that looks elegant.

Layers are also a great way to add dimension and interest in an outfit.

3. Thoughtful accessories
It amazes me the difference a handbag makes to the overall look of an outfit.
It doesn’t have to be expensive; just proportional and appropriate for the occasion.

Jewelry always adds a nice touch… some outfits call for statement pieces while others call for simple and refined. It’s a great way to show your personality!
