Great Looks for the Office and Beyond

Here is a great business casual look. Transitioning into a cropped pair of cold weather pants can be a challenge as far as what kind of socks to wear. Notice the color of the sheer stockings. It is a much better choice than wearing the nude knee highs we used to wear in the 80"s.

 What a beautiful way to display floating candles. The great thing about these candle displays is that you can really do this all year around with seasonal items.

I've decided to change things up on the blog. While I will still feature posts on fashion, I feel inspired to  share more on lifestyle.

The style I am wearing is not the only one they make so there may be another that is perfect for you.

Love the flair cut which is slimming.
