Mazie's Method

Two things a girly girl needs in her closet are crochet and lace. From an early age, I was lucky enough to be surrounded by lace and embroidery and finery. These things hold a place in my heart that makes me remember my childhood and my grandmother. I always have lace and crocheted items on hand for the Spring and Summer. I like to have them showing sporadically through the Fall and Winter as well. Look through the collection and let me know what your favorites are!

Crochet and Lace by MazieRose featuring Old Navy dresses

Some trends come and go and some trends stay put.  I am thinking that skinny jean trend is one that will stick around.  One thing that anyone who is wearing them needs to know is that there are several ways to wear skinny jeans.  My favorite way to wear them is with tunics and boots.  I will also throw on a slouchy sweater and a scarf.

I went through my favorite websites and looked for some awesome skinny jeans.  Here is a pair from Calvin Klein that are like jeggings.  They make me smile!  These skinnies from Lane Bryant make me feel like I am ten again!  I *love* them, and I am thinking of getting them.  Dereon puts some beautiful jeans in Macy’s.  I think these are a good buy!  Gap always provides a good show, even if they only go up to a size 20.  These jeans have some spandex in them and they may work with some awesome accessories!  If you want black wash skinny jeans, Old Navy has the answer!  I would check these out if I were you and you want to rock out the destructed look!  The blue destructed look comes from Target.

Let me know what your favorite ways to wear them is and send pictures and I will post them up!

So one of my faithful followers asked a burning question last night…How do we wear sweaters in this super chilly weather and not look bulky?

My darlings, I have the answer…at least I can tell you what works for me…layer (read: cashmere).  Because I am a buxom babe, I prefer to wear layers of thinner materials.  I hardly ever wear turtlenecks, because I have a large bust and it makes my bust look larger.  So, usually, it is a v  or u neck and sometimes I will change it up and wear a boatneck.  Generally, I will wear a tank top, a long sleeved shirt, then a sweater over it.  I always top it off with a scarf of some sort because my neck is *always* cold.

This gorgeous Calvin Klein boyfriend cardi is perfect for putting over a tank, tee and some leggings.  I can definitely agree with wearing this with black sweatpants or jeans.

I always hit Etsy up when I look for some beautiful hand made goodies.  I am lusting over this gorgeous Felted Wool Wrap Top.  I think investing in a piece like this for a staple is a good idea.  I am looking to decrease my closet and my collection and only invest in pieces that will go with everything.  I am definitely looking for quality and not quantity.  This winged cardigan is a work of art.  Please think about how beautiful a black version of this cardi would be with almost every outfit in your closet!  Maybe I will ask for it for Valentine’s Day!

Cashmere is always my go to when it is really cold and I do not want to add bulk.  I would always grab this cardi and go.  What a beautiful investment this is not to mention the matching pants!  Add some hot chocolate, a book and leave me at home for the weekend!

Gap is a go to when you want a cute, frilly, and ultra feminine cardigan.  This flowered number is on my wishlist for the Spring!  I love the choices of colors and the fact that it will be divine over a black outfit.  Can’t wait for it to go on sale!

Lane Bryant has a beautiful Tunic.  I would have added a long sleeved tee with this and of course some leggings.  Break out those slouchy knee high boots and you are good to go.

Don’t forget your scarf!

Stay sassy!
