Get Stylish...Fast!

Here are two extremely easy outfits that are comfortable, stylish, and may even allow you to shop your own closet! The first is for the more conservative and the latter is for our little fashionista vixens.

This look allows you to parade around in your favorite worn out jeans. Why is it okay to wear these outside of the house? When you mix the grungy pair of jeans with the sleek look and fit of a blazer, the two contrasting styles off set each other. Top the look off with a classic white tee, a long necklace, and a great pair of boots. Painting your nails with a purple-grey is a great shade that is work appropriate but is also stylish and fun!

What's great about this look is you can be lounging around your houseone minute and out for cocktails the next. Start with a great pair of basic black leggings and layer a slightly oversized sweater over them. Next, add a statement necklace and animal print or brightly colored shoes. The reason this outfit works is the contrast of the larger fit of the sweater against the tight leggings creates an attractive silhouette, where as two oversized items would look sloppy and two tight items would be unflattering and inappropriate. In addition, the simplicity of the outfit allows for fun accessorizing…cue the leopard booties and chunky necklace! To get in tune with your inner vixen try O.P.I's Lincoln Park after Dark- Looks great!

Effortlessly chic...

Let me introduce you to my current style muse; she is not only fantastically fashionable but is also a fellow fashion blogger and is signed by Next Models. A beachy grunge style mixed with notions of Parisian flair, Rumi Neely's look is so effortlessly chic its painful. What I love most about her style is her ability to mix high and low price points to create a unique and interesting look. When building her wardrobe she gravitates towards pieces with unique details that set it apart, whether its intricate embellishing or a unique hemline . Often found bargain hunting at the average thrift store Neely saves her splurging for a well fitted jacket, quirky little dresses, and slouchy tops made for layering. Here is one of my favorites:
If you love this look as much as I do here is a way to recreate it by shopping nvclothing.com!

Start with a great pair of black opaque tights and layer them with J Brand's 1042 Rio Cutoff Shorts in Rio. Next, add a little pattern and silk with Gemma's Buffalo Long Sleeve button down...
Layer it up with Elizabeth and James' Sharp Shoulder Blazer. The reason this blazer works best is because of its oversized fit, its thigh grazing hem, and the contrast of the strong shoulders against the delicate silk plaid of the Gemma top. Top it all off with Botkier's Kasper Satchel in Black Lambskin.

Nv Clothing Guide to Denim Shopping...

Aside from swim suits one of the most frustrating items to shop for is that perfect pair of jeans. It can be overwhelming trying to decide which cut, wash, and style is right for you, so we’ve compiled a simple overview and suggested some great styles to fit your body type!

Legs:

Wide leg is…loosely fitted from the hip down, and opens to a wide leg

Trouser is…similar to a wide leg jean but typically features a wide hem

Boot cut is…fitted through thigh and knee; and begins to flare slightly from knee down

Straight leg…is a fitted jean that features the same width from the knee to leg opening

Skinny…is snugly fit through hip, rear, and thighs, and tapers from the knee to ankle

Denim Legging/Jegging…is meant to fit like a second skin, featuring a generous amount of stretch.

Rise:

A low rise falls…at two or more inches below the naval.

A mid rise falls…just at the naval.

A high rise falls…at or above the naval

If you’ve got…

a flat booty:

-Attract attention and dimension to your ass-ets with back flap pockets and/or a skinny jean.

-We suggest Hudson Jeans Signature Skinny Destroyed in RGN wash, or True Religion's Misty Legging Jean in Body Rinse.

some extra junk in your trunk…aka a booty or pear shape:

-Find a jean with a narrower waist and stretch to fit your curves. Darker washes tend to have an overall slimming effect- avoid excessive fading and distressing.

-Skinny jeans with a straighter cut can work too!

-We suggest Joe’s Jeans Honey Rocker in Maribel

A petite body…

-Skinny jeans are great for you! Sticking to linear cuts like straight legs and cigarette legs will lengthen you.

-If you are shorter and curvy a wide leg trouser will give you a sleek and polished look especially when worn with heels.

-When getting your jeans hemmed ask for the “original hem” it will make your jeans look as though they came made to fit you!

-We suggest Seven For All Mankind's Lexie Petite Jean in AHT wash

or J brand 901 Legging in Tawny.

Long legs…

-Choose something with a low rise and a longer inseam…

-We suggest Hudson's Super Model Bootleg in BGG wash

or Rock and Republic's Kassandra in Battle wash

We hope this helps! Happy shopping...
