Thanksgiving day outfit inspo.

by Kelly Berger
written by Kelly Berger

I love this time of year. It’s the start of holiday parties and good quality time spent with the ones you love. Food, football and family, all things that are required in my kind of Thanksgiving.

Along with all of these fun parties and get togethers comes a cute outfit, duh. And for me, Thanksgiving requires something cute but also cozy. I have to say, I was not sure how I felt about the “jumper style” until I conversed about it with a few of my girlfriends and tried it for myself . I quickly fell in love and decided to go for it. Corduroy is back and I am all in. The jumper I styled here has just enough mix of cozy and cute. It has stretch in the material, making it flow with your every movement as well as expanding wherever necessary as you stuff your face with all the good eats this Thanksgiving .

I also just added these booties to my stash and … I – AM – O B S S E S S E D ! First, this color is one of my favorites because it goes with everything! I am a girl that loves height on any shoe and the added platform to these booties make these very comfortable and easy to walk in. Trust me, you can pair these with everything.

All in all, keep this look simple. Add a long sleeve bodysuit and an oversize cardigan and let it take you from hugs and kisses with the family,  fill your plate with mash potatoes and turkey and finish with some good old lounging on the sofa.

Happy Turkey Day.

XOXO. Kel

My Second Uniform

by Kelly Berger
written by Kelly Berger

I spend my days in workout clothes. Therefor when someone sees me in something other then leggings, like a pair of jeans, I often get the reaction — “why are you so dressed up?” — or,  “Where are you going?” This time the answer was – headed to get a hot pretzel with my pup 🙂 (insert hair flip here).

No, but really, a pair of jeans, some cute booties, a cute T and a cardigan. Call it my second uniform. If you are into it – you will love this look!

  • The Cardigan — It’s oversized, it has perfectly placed pockets and its sweatshirt material… it could not get any cozier if it tried! (Also, its on SALE for $20.00!)
  • The T-Shirt — This is the softest T-shirt and the best part is I wear this all four seasons. It pairs perfectly with tan booties and dark jeans. Give it a small front tuck and you are good to go.
  • Dark Jeans — High waisted of course and I love dark denim this time of year. They trick everyone to think you are a bit more dressed up then you actually are!
  • Corduroy Booties — As soon as I saw these I had to have them. I love the texture of the corduroy and I am a big fan of the block heel. They are not very high so those who like a smaller heel these are a good fit. Not to mention they are very, very comfortable.  (50% off right now so get them while they are still in stock!) 

All you have to do now is find yourself a Remy and a hot pretzel!

XOXO. Kel

OTK Boots

by Kelly Berger
written by Kelly Berger

Hot sun, tan skin, no jacket needed… sounds good to me! I do love the summer… BUT it is a real thing that it gets COLD here in Baltimore and even though we like to say we have all four season here it does seem like winter is rolling in fast this year. I have finally packed away all of the shorts and flip flops and my boots stash has made it to the front of the closet.

I love shoes any time of the year, but, one of my favorite looks this time of year is the over the knee boot, better known as the OTK Boot. I will be blunt with you..the reason I love the OTK boot so much is because I think they look stylish on everyone!

Now, you have to know how to style them of course but, my favorite way to style them is with a dress or a skirt. I prefer to show a little leg when styling them. BUT, you always have the option to pair them with jeans or leggings and they are the perfect transition piece to take you from fall to winter.

Below I pair them with a long sleeve dress (that is under $25.00) and an oversized blanket scarf. This dress is great,  it’s super soft material, it’s affordable, it comes in a few other colors and IT HAS POCKETS!  Wear it with a pair of OTK boots like I have or if it is a really cold pair it with a pair of jeans or leggings.

So, go get yourself some cute OTK Boots and before you know it, it will be warm again!

XOXO. Kel

Black Dress & OTK Boots

by Kelly Berger
written by Kelly Berger

I love a good deal and my Mom has always taught me to never buy anything unless it’s on sale. Soooommetttiimmmes I bend that rule a little, ONLY when the price is already so good you cant resist it.  As the months get closer and closer to “winter season” I always have to remind myself to change up my look and make sure I don’t just toss on a pair of jeans, a sweater and booties. Don’t get me wrong I love that look but there are so many cute trends for the fall and winter and if you bargain shop for them you can find them all at the perfect price.

This sweater dress and OTK boots all are under a total of $100.00.

I promise you will not believe the softness of this sweater dress. I went with my normal size and it still gave me a ton of room to make it feel like a true oversized comfy sweater, yet it still had shape.

The Over The Knee Boots (OTK) I loved as soon as I put them on. I have a few pairs of these but these jumped to the top because of how comfortable they are. The heel is perfect height. Not super tall, but also not a flat boot. I love the rounded toe and the sock style is perfect because it allows the boot to hug your leg and stay in place the entire time you have them on. I also think these would be a perfect boot to pack in a suitcase. They fold easily without doing any damage to the boot itself. Just something to think about incase you are planning for a trip!

XOXO. Kel

Finding the right Flannel

by Kelly Berger
written by Kelly Berger

Its hard to find the right flannel. If you are like me, you look for one that has the right fit with the right length. A good pattern and maybe if you are lucky it has some fun detail that sets it apart from every other flannels out there.

I know it is silly because we are really just talking about a shirt but it is the real deal when you are looking for a flannel that you know you will be wanting to toss on every weekend. I have listed a few below that are all very different but check off all the boxes with what I look for when searching for that perfect one. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

  • Sanctuary Plaid Boyfriend Button Up Shirt : One of my favorite patterns in a flannel. I am a big fan of the snap buttons and I love how the model tucks the front in and lets the back hang long. This is the perfect length for this style.
  • Plaid Flannel Duster : I love how this flannel puts itself in a different category because of the long length. Be sure to pair it with a small bootie that has heel since it hits closer to the knee. This will give your legs height and not allow the flannel to take over.
  • AE Ahhmazingly Soft Flannel: I love the black and white. Pair this with a pair of distressed skinny jeans and tan booties and you are crushing the flannel game.
  • Relaxed Plaid Twill Classic Flannel : (under $30.00)   The classic buffalo check comes in red and black or white and black. Can’t go wrong with either! Just add a black puffy vest and some worn in jeans and you have your Saturday #ootd!
  • Madewell Sunday Stripe Shirt: I love how you can dress this one up by styling it more like a white button up shirt that just has added texture or keep it more casual and style it as a flannel with jeans and booties. Two very different looks you can get out of just one flannel.

THE OPTIONS:

The best part about flannels is you can rock them from fall, through the winter into the early spring. Allowing you to get a lot of use out of them. Add them to your wardrobe, I promise you will not regret it.

XOXO. Kel

A Wardrobe Must

by Kelly Berger
written by Kelly Berger

This type of weather always makes me want to snuggle up into something comfy and cozy. I know what you all are thinking,  just put on your favorite pair of leggings and an oversize sweatshirt and be done with it.

Yes, thats all great but not acceptable when you have to go some place other then your sofa or to run a few errands.

Problem solved… the oversized cardigan. Call it what you want but this is basically a big- cozy – blanket- like – sweater that looks cute, put together and is super comfortable.

I have done some research for you and I am sharing some that I already have or are on the way into my shopping cart for purchase.I live in these things and if you have no idea what to pair it with I will make it simple for you…

  • Booties
  • High Waisted Jeans
  • A bodysuit
  • … and your cardigan 🙂

Happy Shopping!

XOXOX. Kel

Fall Neutrals

by Kelly Berger
written by Kelly Berger

I love the change of seasons in Maryland and one BIG reason I love it so much is because I get to fall back in love with whats new and old from my wardrobe last season. Not to mention I enjoy adding to it with some of the new trends.

I do believe that each season has a color palette that goes along with it. It does take a bit of reminding to branch away from BLACK but I do love how fall brings out the Fall Neutrals.

I am a brown eyed girl with brown hair and olive skin. I am naturally pretty neutral… so when fall hits I dive right into the tans, browns, khaki, olive, burnt orange colors. The olive color is one I gravitate to towards the most and one I have been hooked on for a couple of seasons now. Lucky for me I found this cute sweater dress and when I noticed olive green was in stock it had to be added to the fall collection.

What I love most about this sweater dress is you can make it appropriate for pretty much any event. You can dress it up or make it a bit more casual. The way I am wearing it here shows you the more “in between look”. Meaning not super dressy but not casual either. Adding comfortable booties and a scarf allowed me to take it from a coffee date, to a meeting and even made it easy to conquer a few errands in between.

The best part is its under $20.00! (Trust me, you would never know.)

Try it out… and if this style isn’t your thing find something in this color because its all the rage!

Happy Shopping.

XOXO. Kel

Grey Sweater

by Kelly Berger
written by Kelly Berger

Ok, so I have a bit of a problem when it comes to sweater cardigans. That’s what they are called right?

Well, you know the ones I  am talking about… the ones you want to snuggle up in, the ones you find yourself wearing every weekend and they seem to go with e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. Yup, I have, um, about 100 of this style hanging in my closet and I am not opposed to getting more. I love how it ties the entire outfit together with a cozy, effortless look. Not to mention how cozy they are as the cold temps start to roll in.

With all of that said this one (pictured below) I recently bought has become my favorite. The fabric is so soft and the light grey coloring allows you to basically pair it with anything. I knew I had 100 other ones but I feel in love with the fit and it was so snuggly I HAD TO HAVE IT!

I went true to size and I have worn it with everything from…

  • Leggings, a tank top and cool sneakers
AND
  • Jeans, a camisole tank top and Booties (just like what is pictured)
AND
  • A jersey dress with over the knee fall boots

It seriously is the perfect fall sweater. Order now and let me know what you think.

Happy Shopping!

XOXO. Kel

Green Vest

by Kelly Berger
written by Kelly Berger

This time of year I refer to as VEST Season. There are all different styles and looks you can pull off with the vest… and to be honest I can’t decide which is my favorite. When its my chance to change out of leggings and put on a little something more cute this is always a piece I gravitate towards in my closet.

I truly believe this is a look everyone pull off. Here is how to do it:

  1. Keep it simple. You do not need to add crazy patterns or colors. Let the vest do the talking.
  2. Pick a vest that has good length. One that hits the thigh or a little longer is always a winner. Very flattering to the body.
  3. Pair it with a tank top (bodysuit is perfect) or a long sleeve shirt (pending the weather obvi.).
  4. Keep in mind that because it is an extra layer over top keep your pants and your top more fitted. This will help balance the look in my opinion.
I have picked a few that I know I would add to my wardrobe. Take your pick and happy shopping!
  • This look is very similar to the one I am wearing and comes in my favorite FALL green color that is so popular right now. Duster Trench Vest 
  • The color on this one is what drew my eye to it. I also love how it gives you the option to belt it, giving it a more fitted style or just letting it hang long. Longline Double Breasted Vest
  • This suede material is perfect for fall and gives any outfit perfect texture. Faux Suede Drape Front Vest 
  • This one is one SALE and comes in awesome colors to add to your wardrobe. Belted Duster 
  • Giving a different feel by adding the sweater material to this vest is making me feel like I could live in this one all day long. Its also on SALE.  Duster Cardigan Sweater

The Jumpsuit that is not a Jumpsuit

by Kelly Berger
written by Kelly Berger

As I am sure most of you have realized by now I really do love dressing up! I love the entire process about it.

Thinking about the look I want to create.

Shopping for the look.

Putting the look together. 

Executing the entire thing with a night out.

Ok, you’re right… its not that serious but my point is I love a good, feel good, dressed up look.

So, when I was headed to an event and could not find the perfect black jumpsuit I had created in my head, I decided I would create it myself.  Thinking, if I could pair a bodysuit and my favorite high waisted, wide leg pants together it would create the perfect look I was going for. DONE!  I added a good pair of high heels, an off the shoulder kimono sweater and a simple clutch and I was set.

Keep in mind you can do this with any style bodysuit your prefer and these pants (which I have featured before) are a pair of many that can work to create this look.

Happy Shopping and like always… thanks for following along in this thing we call life.

XOXO.
