That's so 70's

Being comfortable at work is a must! I get asked all the time why I wear dresses every day and for me it's the comfort factor. Today I'll fill you in on my comfort secrets and the Fall Trends.

Since it's just girls here...(men close your eyes and plug your ears), lets talk about shapewear. Shapewear is essential when you feel like your "lumps and bumps" are compromising a beautiful ensemble. Spanx.com is amazing! This website has all the shapewear you could possibly need. Your first piece should be one that covers the tummy, butt, and thighs and is in nude. Then you can start building up from here. This piece will help you feel sucked in and confident in your pretty dresses!

This Fall you're going to see a lot of pieces that have been inspired by the 70's. Starting with the dress, I recommend finding one in a nude color. This way all your trendy accessories will be the spotlight of this outfit. Then layer on a boyfriend cardigan (long in length with no darting at the chest) in a jewel tone. I chose an emerald green, but you can chose one that best matches your skin tone and hair color. The biggest trend in footwear is going to be the penny loafer heel. Find a pair in a brown color this will take you to work and beyond! I will be including these shoes in a lot of upcoming posts. Pull your hair up in a high ponytail and add these darling bows to up the girliness!
