The Ultimate Guide to Comfortable Clothing

When it comes to fashion, most people think of uncomfortable clothing. It seems like the trend these days is for clothes to be tight and constricting. However, this does not have to be the case! There are many ways to style comfortable clothing that will make you look and feel great. This blog post will explore the ultimate guide to comfortable clothing.

1) Choose Clothes That Fit:

The most important tip to keep in mind when it comes to comfortable clothing is to make sure you are choosing clothes that fit properly. When it comes to buying clothes, don’t be afraid to try things on and make sure they fit right. Ill-fitting clothing can not only be uncomfortable, but it can also look sloppy and unflattering.

2) Choose Natural Fibers:

Natural fibers such as cotton, wool, or linen tend to breathe better than synthetic fabrics like polyester or nylon. This helps regulate your body temperature and keeps you from getting too hot or too cold. Additionally, natural fibers are often softer and more comfortable than synthetic materials.

3) Invest in Quality Pieces:

Cheaply-made clothes may look great at first, but they will often wear out quickly and become uncomfortable. Investing in quality pieces that are well-constructed can save you money in the long run, as this clothing is usually more durable and comfortable.

4) Choose Layers:

Layering your clothing is a great way to stay comfortable throughout the day. For example, if you’re feeling cold, adding an extra layer, such as a cardigan or blazer, can help keep you warm without having to bundle up in multiple sweaters and coats.

5) Spend Time Shopping:

Don’t be afraid to take your time when shopping for new clothes. It can be tempting to grab something off the rack and head to the checkout, but it’s important to take your time and make sure you find clothes that fit properly and feel comfortable.

6) Get a variety of T-shirts:

T-shirts are a wardrobe staple, so make sure to invest in a few quality options. Make sure to get some plain tees as well as ones with unique designs and patterns. This will give you plenty of options for different occasions and help keep you comfortable throughout the day. Visit Softee T-Shirts now to browse our selection of stylish and comfortable tees. 

7) Get a Comfortable wardrobe:

Don’t be afraid to invest in comfortable pieces for your wardrobe. This could include items such as yoga pants, leggings, sweatshirts, and other items made from comfortable materials. This will ensure that you always have something cozy and stylish to wear when you want to feel your best.

8) Have Fun With It:

At the end of the day, fashion is supposed to be fun and enjoyable. Don’t get too caught up in trends or trying to fit into a specific look. Focus on comfort and finding pieces that make you feel good. This way, you can enjoy getting dressed each day and always feel your best!

Following these tips will help you create a wardrobe of comfortable clothing that will make you look and feel great. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles, materials, and colors until you find the perfect pieces for your wardrobe. Enjoy exploring fashion and discovering what makes you feel your best!

Ideas for Your Summer Wardrobe

Now that spring has sprung, we are not far from a long, hot summer. Our summers have been a little more restricted and demanding than we anticipated during the previous two years. A plethora of activities, picnics, and other celebrations have already begun as the summer season has arrived. Furthermore, it implies that we can update our wardrobes and have new, gorgeous items to flaunt, whether we're looking for style advice from our favourite shows, such as whether you prefer the classic appearance, a more nerdy style, casual clothing, or attempting to inject new life into our sense of fashion. Even wearing outrageous leopard print shoes is an option. These items are a must-have for your summer outfit.

It's fantastic to look forward to going on vacation and seeing new locations again. Imagine yourself sipping a martini while unwinding on a beach. As a result, new swimwear is required. Perhaps you should adjust the size or the style. Finding something that fits you can be difficult because there are so many options available. If you want to be more covered, go for a one-piece or a bikini with high-waisted bottoms. Getting a new wardrobe for holiday is always a happy occasion and places like Femme Luxe are perfect.

Although you won't need a coat in the summer, you should dress to impress if it's sunny and bright outside by donning a dress or a short-sleeved shirt. An extra layer may be required as night falls; a dress or T-shirt may not be sufficient, so consider purchasing a summer cardigan. Something sleek, light, and contemporary. You may put on a denim jacket, bomber jacket, or blazer. If you plan your outfit for the day in advance, you can see which pieces go well together, or you can select a jacket in a neutral colour that goes with everything. 

Along with your clothing, you should think about your jewellery. When it comes to jewellery, quality is more important than quantity. Oftentimes, cheap jewellery breaks, tarnishes, and even turns you green. Spending less money on a small number of high-quality essentials that can be worn every day is thought to be desirable. You still have the option to take a slightly riskier and extravagant action. The only thing left to do is select the item that best reflects your personal style. If you prefer something with a bit more sparkle, consider simple gold hoops, a crucifix pendant, or statement jewellery like gemstones. For premium and exquisite items, check out Brilliant Earth. 

In contrast to last summer's very much pastel-focused and preferred nude colours, many individuals are preferring an 80s and 90s attitude with vibrant colours and powerful designs. People over 30 enjoy reliving their earlier fashion choices, but it's best to avoid fast fashion and spending a lot of money on items you'll only wear once. Now is the time to think about fundamental items that you may pair with various outfits. Have fun with it and personalise it. Keep in mind that comfort still needs style and attractiveness.

Femme Luxe Summer Fashion

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. Vaughan and I are making plans to go on a vacation soon; stay tuned for my pack with me and vacation vlog.

 

I will also be posting some videos on my Instagram reels in the meantime.

 

We plan on heading to the beach on season, which is something we do not do very often. We enjoy going to the beach during the off season, as well, but I am really looking forward to this for a change.

 

In the winter, Virginia Beach is a lot cheaper and less busy, it is still a fabulous place to go if you like shopping within walking distance, and a great ocean view at a very low cost.

 

I have started working at a new job, in addition to renovating several rooms in our house; and now we have been planning this vacation, so I am off to a super busy summer! 

 

How are you all doing? Wish me luck!

I have three different outfits that are perfect for these hot summer days, which we were having here, in Virginia, and they are all from from Femme Luxe*.  During these super hot and sticky summer days, these skimpy pieces are fabulous for my summer wardrobe. Vacation season is upon us, so, hopefully, the items in tonight's post will serve as some outfit inspiration for your next trip.

 

I know that I have been buying things for my summer vacation for months now. I think that might be my favorite part of taking trips - picking out all of the cool outfits that I intend to wear.

This first green print dress is perfect for a summer vacation. I love the print for a change from the little black dress. It is super lightweight, and easy to pack. Because of the print, it does not show wrinkles, which is always fabulous.  This has the ruched effect, on the side, and the little string, and then it also ties behind the back of the neck. I think the green print is a refreshing  tone for summer. The fabric is super stretchy and soft, so this is very comfortable to wear.  The fit in the skirt is nice and snug. The fabric is light and breezy, for the hot days we have been having here in Virginia. It does not matter whether you wear this for a formal or a casual occasion. I could see you wearing it on the beach with flip flops, and then with heels for dinner out, later that night.

This next two-piece set is great because you can wear it together or separately. There are so many different things you can do to change up the look, and style this in different ways! This set is in a UK Size 6, and I would definitely suggest this more for the smaller chested girls because the top is very skimpy, unless of course that is the look you're a going for.  I could also picture wearing the skirt with an oversized, white, button-down blouse, and some gold jewelry. The fabric in the this set is almost like that slinking knit type of fabric that is very stretchy, very soft, and very comfortable.

Last but not least, this beautiful bustier is another great piece that would look just as great with a nice skirt as it would a pair of ripped jeans for women. I love the rhinestones and the beautiful, neutral color. This is also in a UK Size 6.  This bustier top has small, bra type hooks all the way up the back, for closure; it also has adjustable straps.

 

The quality of this bustier top feels very nice. The fabric is thick, and really works to hold you in place.  This piece could also look nice worn over top of something such as a turtle neck, in cooler weather.  I love the combination of the rhinestones with the neutral color. Such a classy take on bling! And a way to dress this bustier up to be worn on a night on the town.

Let me know in the comments which item out of today's blog post was your favorite. I think mine has to be the first item, which is the green print dress.  And, in second place, is probably the bustier, because it is just so different from what you usually see.  

 

Well, I'm signing off for the night. I hope you all had a lovely week and weekend, and that you will have a great week this week!

Dress For Your Shape: How To Find Clothes That Make You Look And Feel Incredible

Your body is a unique combination of curves, angles, and dimensions. That’s why finding clothes that look great on you — and fit you well — can be tricky. But with the right know-how, anyone can find clothes that accentuate their best features.

How To Determine Your Body Shape

To determine your body shape, you first need to understand the three basic shapes: an hourglass, an apple, and a pear. The hourglass shape is wider at the top and narrows at the bottom. An apple shape is wider at the bottom and narrows at the top. A pear shape is wider on both sides. To determine your body shape, look at the widest and narrowest parts of your body, then decide which category your body shape falls into. 

Dressing For Your Shape

When it comes to typical body shapes, there are no rules. Any body shape can wear any style. But specific styles will look best on certain body types. Like tall women will want to check out this guide to help tall women find shoes. Here are a few more tips on dressing for your shape. 

• Hourglass 

If you’re shaped like an hourglass, accentuate your curves with fitted clothing. Stay away from baggy styles and oversized pieces. They will only make you appear bigger. Instead, go for tailored silhouettes such as pencil skirts, slim-cut trousers, and fitted tops.

 

• Apple 

If you’re shaped like an apple, you should focus on your smaller bottom half. Balance your curves with loose-fitting silhouettes that draw attention away from your smaller legs and hips. Go for A-line skirts, voluminous tops, and flowing fabrics. 

• Pear 

If you’re shaped like a pear, you want to draw attention away from your bottom half. Instead, focus on your larger top half by accentuating your smaller hips with fitted clothing. Go for V-neck tops, cinched-waist dresses, fitted skirts, and jackets that nip in at the waist.

Get The Right Fit

The most important aspect of dressing for your shape is getting the right fit no matter which body shape you have. So, how do you know if your outfit is the right fit? 

1. Make sure your clothes aren’t too loose or too tight. When it comes to fit, there should be no room for error. An outfit that’s too loose is unflattering. An outfit that’s too tight is uncomfortable and ruins any chance of looking your best. 

2. Your clothing should skim your body without clinging to it. If the fabric is too loose, it will make you appear larger than you are. If it’s too tight, it will make you look boxy. So, when shopping for clothes, always try them on before buying them. 

3. Check the length of your tops and trousers. You don’t want to end up with a wardrobe full of clothes that are too short or too long. Ideally, you should wear tops that end around your mid-thigh and trousers that sit at your ankle.

Add Color With Accent Pieces

Once you’ve figured out which pieces work best for your body type, it’s time to add color with accent pieces. Accent pieces are smaller, extra pieces of clothing that you can add to any outfit to transform it from drab to fab. Shoes, handbags, belts, jewelry, and scarves are great accent pieces. When you’re dressing for your shape, it’s essential to keep your skin tone and hair color in mind.

Try On-Trend Shapes And Styles

You can find clothes anywhere, from online to secondhand. And no matter your body shape, you can always add a new twist to your wardrobe with the help of on-trend shapes and styles. These are generally silhouettes and styles currently trending in the fashion industry. Skimming silhouettes are currently very popular. These are outfits that skim your body without clinging to it. Loosely fitted pieces are also very current. These are outfits that are loose-fitting but not quite baggy.

Building A Fashionable Wardrobe On A Budget

Everyone wants a luxury wardrobe but no one wants to pay the prices that are asked for the privilege of designer clothing. I mean, we do pay for it, but we begrudge the huge costs for a handbag (yes, even if it’s amazing quality!). Having a wardrobe that is fashionable and luxurious doesn't have to break the bank or your sanity, however, not when you can build one on a budget.

The right type of clothing can impact everything in your life. It impacts how you are viewed in the boardroom, how people judge you on the street and yes, it even impacts your confidence. No one has to know that you’ve chosen consignment luxury bags instead of the Gucci off the shelf options. You can have an amazing, fashionable wardrobe without spending everything you earn in an entire salary. Below, we’ve got some fab tips to help you to save a little cash while you shop.

1. Look at what you’ve got. The very first place that you should start is to look at your current clothing. You might have a closet jam-packed with junk and most of that, you may not have worn for months. Even years! It’s a good idea to go through what you already have and then work out from here what you’ll need to buy to add to it all.

2. Sell your older clothes. If you want to get your budget together for new clothes, bags and shoes, you need to get rid of some of your older stuff and make some space as much as you need to make more cash. You can clean out the closet and sell the clothes you don't plan to wear anymore. This is actually a great tip because you can use your income here to pay for a whole new wardrobe.

3. Figure out what you need. So, you know what you have, you’ve sold the things you no longer want or fit, and now you need to work out what it is you need to complete the outfits that you’ve got. Sure, you can always buy new outfits, but sometimes it’s cheaper to add to what you have and finish an outfit. You could need shoes, belts, new pants or even some new jewelry. Mix and match your wardrobe and figure out how you can make your wardrobe really work for your body type.

4. Head to the online consignment stores. We mentioned consignment luxury bags earlier, but it’s not the only thing sold in consignment stores. There are so many online sites that allow you to sift through the clothing that’s been preloved and you can choose ‘new’ pieces that will fit your style and your wardrobe with ease.

5. Call a tailor. It may not have occurred to you before, but if you have the right clothes they’re just not the right size, you can save yourself a bunch of money by hiring a tailor to help you instead of buying a whole new wardrobe.

Femme Luxe Dresses

With Spring just a right around the corner, I have another Femme Luxe fashion haul*; this time, I have three beautiful dresses that will be perfect for spring and summer, so something a little different than the usual women's loungewear sets. We're going to be heading to the beach soon, and I would love to wear these but, unfortunately, it's still going to be a little too cold where we're going, so these will have to wait a little bit longer.   I am looking forward to warmer weather, when I can get out of my leggings and sweaters, and wear beautiful dresses like these again. I do love sweaters and things like that, but dressing for warm weather is just so much easier, and, of course, when you do travel, it is easier to pack more, because you're clothing is that much skimpier.   Bringing a beautiful dress along, as well as a few different colors, makes planning planning outfits for a trip so easy!   I think the orange dress is going to be so much fun to wear in the summer! And I can just picture wearing this on a fabulous summer vacation.

First of all, we have what I think may be my favorite of today's hall, and it is this orange, ruched dress, and it is in  a size UK 6, and the fit is perfect?

 It has straps on the shoulders that you can easily adjust, and they just tie however you like them. I love that, because it makes this so convenient a customizable! So this dress has ruching around the front, and then, on the back, it is just plain and smooth. The fabric is super stretchy, and and so very comfortable!   

 You know I have mentioned so many times before how I loved a good ruched dress from Femme Luxe, and Femme Luxe never disappoints with their stunning, ruched dresses in a whole myriad of colors, as well as different styles and lengths. 

This one is such a great length on me too! I am very happy with where the lower hem comes down to when I'm standing up, and I also like how it is straight across at the bust line, making this a little bit different from some of the dresses that I already have in my wardrobe.   This dress also has a little bit of lace at the top, and a little bit of ruching in just the right places, that makes it such an elegant and flattering cut and style of dress!

Next up, we have another favorite of mine, and it is this beautiful, stretchy, red satin dress, also in a size UK 6.  It fits me like a glove, and this dress has just a couple straps, and it also has a zipper up the back. This is so flattering! And it is something that would be beautiful to wear for a date night, and many other occasions.   I really do feel as if I look very nice in this dress, and it is definitely my favorite kind of style to take with me on trips, because I have said many times before that this is something that you could change up with different accessories; it is like a blank palette for wearing with my gold and/or silver jewelry and accessories, et cetera.   The shade of red of this dress is just absolutely gorgeous, as well! I do not wear red very often, for some reason, but I probably should, because I really do love the way it looks, and I like the way I look in red as well.   For this look I decided to go with some classic rhinestone jewelry. The red is a bold take on the classic little black dress.

And, lastly, we have this velvet dress, here. There are ties behind the back, and also around the neck. The one is also in a size UK 6, and the fit is perfect.  I really love how stretchy soft and comfortable this one is, as well.   The color is beautiful, and, because this is real, I suppose that this is something that you could wear all year round, although, of course, it is on the skimpy side, but perhaps you could wear this with a nice, long coat or cardigan over it.   Another thing that is great about this one, is that there are no zippers or anything like that, so it is very easy to get the fit you want by adjusting the straps, and, also, the fabric is easy to adjust because it is so stretchy!   This darker red shade also makes me think of the fall and winter seasons.

Femme Luxe Haul

I have another Femme Luxe fashion haul* post today.  Things are much cooler here in Virginia these days, so a few of the items in today's haul are great for cold weather.   

I cannot believe that 2021 is almost over and as usual, there were things I wanted to do to prep for the holidays and I haven't gotten around to it, but how about you guys?   We started the process pulling out our Christmas decorations a little late this year but we're still slowly working on it.  One thing we like to do is change out our dishes to our seasonal ones. It's always fun to have a particular theme for the particular season and Vaughan and I are both very much into dinner dinnerware and glassware.

This first item I'm wearing is in a size small and it is this green knit sweater that's rather long like a tunic length, almost like a dress except that it has these really high slits on each side, so I decided to wear them with a pair of high waisted leggings that I already owned, but this could also look great with something like ripped jeans for women.  The green is refreshing color to wear during the fall and winter if you're getting tired of all of the dark tones and neutrals. 

The knit is soft and comfortable and it's not super thick option.  If you wanted to make it a little bit warmer, I think this would be a great one to wear with a turtleneck or maybe a thermal underneath.  

This is something that I would wear for lounging around the house or out and about.  

The fit of this top is oversized, I would say, which I know is still very popular in fashion these days. 

I guess because there's just nothing much as comfortable and comfortable and easy to wear then a relaxed fit knit item.

I'm wearing this black ruched dress in a size UK 6, and it's rather a snug fit but I think that's more of a preference, perhaps. 

This dress has the ruching detail in the front so you can cinch it shorter if you want and tie it into a bow or leave it as long as it goes. 

The fabric is not too thin and feels pretty substantial, it also does not seem to be transparent.  

You really can't go wrong with a classic little black dress, so if are are in the market for one, this could be a good option. 

The dress has a tighter neck at the top, there are no buttons or zippers, so the dress is just pulled on over your head, so keep that in mind if sizing can be an issue for you because this is totally just a stretch dress.  

As always a simple black dress is such a favorite of mine because there's so many ways to change up this look it would look just as great with heels as flats and you can wear any type of jewelry you want to belt hats scarves and other accessories to really make the look your own.

I'm wearing this green jogger set in a size UK 6. The fit is pretty good.  The waist of the jogger bottoms is a little bit more on the snug side,  but I was still able to get them up over my hips. 

The hoodie has double pockets on the front and it's nice and soft inside, as well as bottoms. 

The shade of green is lovely, especially for fall season. It reminds me of my favorite colors for that season.  

Some of my favorite jogger sets are from Femme Luxe, if you're in the market for that kind of casual wear in particular they are definitely a great place to check out they have so many great color options and cuts and styles.  This one is more like a classic jogger style.  

Sets like these are a favorite of mine to wear, especially around the house during the winter season like the weather we are in now.  There's just not much else out there that is as warm and comfortable as an nice jogger/lounge wear sets.  

I just added a black long sleeved T-shirt that I already had in my wardrobe so I was extra warm and comfortable for this look. Femme Luxe always has the best women's loungewear sets!

Tips for Accessorizing your Outfits without Stress

Accessorizing is a very good way for you to spice up the outfits you have now. You will essentially be adding pieces such as jewelry or even shoes to your fashion look. The best thing about using accessories is that they have the ability to completely transform your outfit. It can also help you to get the finishing touches you need to really bring everything together. If you want to find out more, then simply look below.

Choose Good Footwear

As mentioned above, your footwear is a huge part of accessorizing your outfit. Unlike other accessories, you will have to wear shoes every day. You might as well make sure that they suit your outfit to the best of your ability. Even though it is very important for you to have some neutral footwear options when it comes to your outfit, you do need to make sure that you have statement footwear too. This will help you to truly elevate your look and it will also make it much easier for you to get the overall image you’re going for.

Jewelry

It doesn’t matter whether your jewelry box contains a nice watch or whether it contains a huge range of bangles, statement pieces and necklaces because you need to make sure that you add some sparkle to your outfit. Start out with one subtle piece of jewelry, such as diamond studs or even thin hoop earrings, and then go from there. If you can do this, then you will soon find that everything comes together with ease. If you are stuck for accessories, why not look into boho bracelets?

Hair Accessories

Hair accessories give you a very easy way to truly show off your style. Have a look at the hair accessories you have now and find out if there is enough room for an upgrade. Is it possible for you to swap some of your plain hair ties for ones that stand out a little bit more? If so, then why not do that? You will soon find that it transforms your look more than you realize.

Handbags

Different bags, whether they are clutches totes or anything else, are very much appropriate for many different occasions. If you know that you have some handbags in a varying style of colors, then you will know that you have something for absolutely any occasion and this can really work in your favor.

Belts

Believe it or not, belts are not just for a single function. It is more than possible for you to use them to your advantage when it comes to fashion too. It doesn’t matter whether you opt for a narrow belt or a wide one because it can make your outfit look way more polished and you may even find that it can bring your style together as well. Don’t be afraid to use belts to your advantage when it comes to your accessories and always make sure that you do what you can to blend it in with your outfit and the look you are going for.

How To Develop A Confidence-Boosting Personal Style

 How To Develop A Confidence-Boosting Personal Style

Consider the materials you want to use

Developing your personal style is an important part of expressing yourself and feeling comfortable in what you wear. Each material has its own unique look and feel, as well as its own strengths and weaknesses that should be taken into consideration during the process of refining your style. Natural materials like wool, cotton, linen from LGlinen, and silk all have unique textures to them that can bring a certain je ne sais quoi to an outfit but they also require extra care when it comes to washing and conversely some synthetic fabrics like polyester don't require very much to maintain their original quality but can look cheap over time. As you explore different fabrics and materials for your signature look, think about not only the aesthetic impact but also practical effects that come with specific fabrics. 

It is probably safe to say that fashion boosts self-confidence. What you wear or how you look can either lift your mood or make you feel very uncomfortable. Although fashion can inspire a dose of confidence, the last thing you want to do is take yourself in whatever direction the wind of fashion blows. You'd only end up spending loads of money on the wrong fashion elements and deprive yourself of creating a personal fashion identity. So, if you want to break free from "public" fashion, here are some tips for creating a personal and confidence-boosting personal style. 

1. Accentuate your assets and love yourself

People have varying natural body shapes, sizes, and unique features. It is also important to love the body you live in and dress to suit it. Therefore, you need to know your unique physical features and how best to dress in a way that enhances and complements those features. 

Trying to make changes or sculpt your body in ways that you feel will make you look better and help you feel more confident is still a form of practicing body positivity. For instance, if you have a flabby belly or love handles that affect your confidence, you can hit the gym to get rid of it, or you can opt for a quick, no-surgery approach procedure like coolsculpting to remove the fat. 

2. Look into your closet

If you're wondering what fashion elements appeal to you or make you look and feel good, the first place to look is your closet. Take the time to go through your current collection of fashion items and separate the pieces you love best from the ones you like least. Next, divide the ones you love into the pieces you often use and those you hardly use. Once you're done, ask yourself what is about the pieces you like the least or don't wear often. 

Find out why you don't find them appealing enough. Is it the colors, the designs, or the material used? Doing this will give a fair idea of what you love in your ideal fashion. Do the same for the pieces you love and often wear and find what makes them so appealing to you.

If you have jewelry go through that as well. Look for the pieces that appeal to you and for those that don't. Giveaway or sell what you don't need. Try buying signature pieces such as a gold necklace or a superjeweler diamond tennis bracelet to round out your collection.

3. Look outside your closet

Once you've looked into your closet, it's time to find outside sources of inspiration. From your favorite celebrities and fashion influencers to fashion blogs and mags, try to find inspiration from as many sources as possible. Remember that the point isn't to copy your sources but to use the tips and trends you see to inspire your style. 

4. Now recreate your wardrobe

After identifying the things you love and dislike in your ideal fashion, recreate your wardrobe by purchasing fashion items that match the things you love. This way, you can ensure that you won't waste money on something you will never wear. However, this does not mean you shouldn't experiment with new things. After all, that's one way to know if you love something or not.

Femme Luxe Fall/Winter Fashion

I have another Femme Luxe fashion haul* for today's blog post.

Now is a great time to think about shopping because so many online retailers have great deals, sales, free shipping offers, et cetera. 

It's always a time of year that you think about buying things for yourself and loved ones, as well.

 

The weather has taken a turn for colder here in Southern Virginia, and I don't know about you but I love to snuggle up wearing lots of different knitwear items such as those that I'll be showing below.

But today's post I have a bit of a mixed bag of items items, some of which can be worn all year around and knitwear of course since it is best suited for fall and winter.

This first item is actually a two piece set, and it is this gray sweater and legging set and the size is small/ medium.

Women's loungewear sets like this are so much fun to just wear around the house in  the fall and winter. This is definitely a snuggly set!  I am not sure about the pants, but I could definitely see wearing the gray sweater as outdoor wear and loungewear, so this is a set that can pull double duty, for sure. 

The fabric of this set is very stretchy. When I first saw the  pants I thought they looked very small but of course, as is usually the case with knits like this there was a ton of stretch. 

The Pants also have a very high waist so your midsection is not going to be left out in the cold with this set. 

This gray is such a great color, as well,  making it perfect for the winter.  I could totally see adding some beautiful silver jewelry accessories with this if you wanted to elevate the look.

Next, we have another knit item, and it is this beige V neck long sleeved sweater dress, also in a size small.  

The fabric is very stretchy and the knit is on the thinner side, so that makes this a good dress for layering and on milder days it's a great option to wear.

I am very much into neutrals now and I so enjoy how easy they are to mix and match with other neutral other neutral colors and shades, and a dress like this can be such a versatile piece as you can wear it with so many different accessories and styles of jewelry to change up your look. Beige is the new little black dress for the fall season!

Always think things like this dress are very figure flattering, as well. There's not a lot of details to get in the way, but that's what makes it just a special in its own way. 

Sometimes there is something to be said for just some classic clean lines.

And here we have this beautiful Robin's egg blue one shoulder asymmetrical ruched dress.

I think this would be especially beautiful for spring, but it's something that could be worn all year round, as well. I think I have this dress in the white midi dress version, and I really love how comfortable and figure flattering it is. 

I've mentioned this many times before, but I love clothing items that have ruching as a design detail. 

This another one that I think silver jewelry would look especially good with against the beautiful shade of pastel blue.  

I'm wearing this dress in a size UK 6 and the fit is perfect,  it's very snug but not too tight, and since the fabric has a lot of stretch in it, it is not uncomfortable in any way.

And here we have this faux leather green skirt, it is in such a beautiful shade of almost an avocado green. 

I'm wearing this in a size UK 6 and it is just a little bit snug on me, but if I had sized up I'm not sure that it would not have been too big, but just keep that in mind if you are buying and around my size.  My hips are about 35" around, my waist it's about 26" so if you're any larger than that then you probably want to size up. 

This skirt does not really have a lot of stretch but it does have a zipper on the side.  

This is a piece that could look cute all year around, as well but I'm especially looking forward to pairing this with some cute cardigans for fall and winter.  This is a great look if you want a change from wearing ripped jeans for women.
