Dressing Up Graphic Tees

So maybe you haven’t done your laundry and all you have are your favorite graphic tees to wear. Or maybe, you just cannot possibly conceive of not wearing your favorite comfy graphic tee, but have to go to work, or dinner, or an event that requires non-jeans attire. What to do?

Well, the good news is, it’s entirely possible to dress up a graphic tee. The key, really, is creativity. Luckily, we’re here to help, for those of you who might need a little jump start.

One of the easiest and quickest ways to start is by throwing on a high-waisted skirt. Especially if the graphic on the tee is a bit overpowering, a high-waisted skirt can act as a neutralizer in that it may cut off part of the graphic, making your tee seem more like a blouse with a pattern.

Fall To Winter Sweaters

Winter 2010 is going to be all about super chunky knits. Though this may seem to present a challenge in transitioning your lighter, breezier fall sweaters into winter, this shift in volume can actually be a fun opportunity to get more creative with your layering and adventurous with your silhouette.

Take, for example, sweater coats. Not only can they be used on their own over a tank or tee in the fall, but in winter, you can layer over, say, a long sleeved shirt and a smooth cashmere sweater. If you get a sweater coat with a chunky knit, voila, you’re on trend. The effect will be more of a comfortable, soft one as compared to wearing an ordinary winter coat.

Work Bags

Big bags are definitely back this Fall and Winter, which is ideal when you’re looking for a something to carry along with you to the office, a meeting, work-related event, or a job interview. After all, stuffing folders, laptops, books, binders, and other work items into your regular bag can be a pain and might even ruin important documents. And you’ll definitely want to have as much stuff with you as possible in any work or job-seeking situation to look like you’re “right on top of that, Rose“, without looking like a disorganized mess.

Obviously the width of your bag should coincide with your laptop, as well as any 8 1/2 by 11″-sized documents you’ll probably be carrying around. The aim here is to be able to carry all the things you need while still being comfortable with your bag, all the while maintaining a professional appearance. Nothing looks more incongruous and awful than a business professional outfit with, say a sparkly sequined hobo bag from last night’s club outing.

Summer Fashion for Fall 2010

Isn’t it a drag to have to put your favorite summer pieces away once it starts to get cold? This summer has certainly seen its share of fun trends, but it’s no reason to send your wardrobe into a complete upheaval the second you spot the first brown leaf on the sidewalk. Here are some awesome summer picks that can easily be translated into fall.

The bra, bralette, bustier, and general trend of underwear as outerwear was very hot this summer, most likely due to the unusually, er, hot summer this year. In the midst of summer, they’re cute with shorts and skirts, being an ideal piece to keep the heat out. But for fall, they can easily be layered under a flannel, a soft sweater, or jacket.
