How to Dress up your workweek with little effort

Santa Monica, CA

Ah yes, it’s that time of year. The time that sends me searching endlessly through my closet and coming up with nothing to wear. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve already used up all of my outfit creativity this season or if I’m just growing sick of my winter clothes but lately, I’ve been in a bit of a wardrobe slump. I’m not inspired to buy many more winter pieces since spring is right around the corner (wishful thinking, maybe?) and I’ve got my sights set on lighter, brighter things. However, I still want to keep my office style updated.

So what is the solution? Well, I find it’s best to invest in a few sale pieces and reinvent your go-to’s with your favorite accessories. I’m talking new jewelry, mixing in a print, or grabbing an all-season dress that works well for both winter and spring. This Ann Taylor Factory dress is just the answer. Styled with tights and classic accessories here, it can easily shift into April and May with a quick shoe and accessory update. When things warm up, lose the tights, swap in a denim jacket and a pair of strappy shoes for a look that’s as fresh as the flowers that’ll be in bloom.

Merry Christmas Eve! I made it back to the East Coast just in time for the holiday and some not-so-snowy weather. Everyone here seems to be excited about it, but I have to say, I really enjoy my yearly snow fix. And who doesn’t love a white Christmas? 

Here’s to hoping things take a turn for the cold! Until then, I’ll be dressed accordingly. Tonight I’m wearing this fuzzy cropped sweater, Rockport booties, and a metallic maxi skirt. I’m also wearing some of my new wintery accessories from Ann Taylor Factory and my new go-to winter jacket. I’ve been looking for a warm tan jacket since last season and this one is truly the best (and so affordable).

Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and happy holiday break. I will be spending time relaxing, watching movies and eating (way too much) with the ones I love most.

THE COLD WEATHER CROP

Oh hello to cropped sweater—aka my new winter wardrobe staple. Not only is it perfect for layering, but this previously saved-for-summer favorite is a great blend of cozy and cool, casual style. From wearing it with extra high-waisted skinnies or layering over a tight-fitting turtleneck, the cold weather styling options are truly endless.

Speaking of cropped, have you guys tried on a pair of cropped jeans yet? Perfectly warm, they were made to show off your cutest winter booties (like these black Rockport beauties). I love this high-waisted pair because they are oh so flattering. Is it the season of cropped clothing? I think so.
