We can never have enough boots in Seattle. Boots as unique as these are a must have item.

 

Did you know bright bold colors are fall's must have trend? Accessories are the perfect way to get that boost of color you are searching for.

This jacket by Nicole Miller looks like it has NEVER been used.

If you like something more casual, this piece would look great over skinny jeans and boots.

A shoe with texture and a black and white zebra print, will work wonders to showcase with your colorful wardrobe.

What shoe would you get? This client went with option 2.

Summer to Fall: The Motorcycle Inspired Jacket

Wear it casually with jeans or to work with a skirt. If you have purchased a motorcycle jacket in this oatmeal color, you will find it isn't just a spring/summer piece.

SUMMER

Keep it simple, add a pastel color for a soft look. A short necklace such as the one pictured above makes a great accessory for jackets, especially if you tend to keep you jacket buttoned up or zipped.

TRANSITIONING INTO FALL

Just because the days are getting darker doesn't mean you have to take out those black pants just yet. Why not try a gray pant in a darker shade?  The blue sweater vest is underneath so you don't get too warm in your layers.

Style tip: Add flats for a casual, Audrey Hepburn look.

FALL

Add darker hues with the jacket, create dimension and interest. I like how the white polka dots help bring the outfit together, in this look the skirt is the centerpiece.

Adornment is never anything except a reflection of the heart. - Coco Chanel

A not-so-boring basic

Hold on a second before you give away or reject a perfect fitting khaki skirt. One basic, such as this one, can go a long way and give you the simple palette you need to showcase your unique pieces.

Style Tip: Bright colors will add a dose of confidence to you Khaki wear.

 

Style Tip: Keep it professional and tailored by adding a blazer. A 3/4 length sleeve and stretchy material are a great option for a casual business atmosphere.

 

Style Tip: Keep it simple pair the skirt with a cotton cowl neck and cardigan. The gold sequin necklace ties the look together to create a long line an elegant feel.
