Mazie's Method

Ok.. Now that I have a dress for the shower I am completely obsessing over a dress for the Christening which is uhm, like a million months away.  I definitely think I need this Anna Scholz Crepe Jersey Dress  because I want to be the hottest mom there.  Well, I know I won’t be the star of the show that day and I am completely ok with that, but this dress makes me smile.  I can definitely see myself with a pair of black heels, that will have to be rubberized on the bottom so I do not fall and some amazing earrings for this dress.

What do you think?

My lovelies…

Let’s talk belts.  I am such a fan of tunics and dresses and all things lady like.  Coco Chanel said that you should always take an accessory off before leaving the house.  God Bless her.  I love and adore her, but in this day and age, Rachel Zoe may have hit the nail on the head and says More is More.  Sometimes a girl needs a belt.  My lovely gal, Sally asked the question tonight of wide belts.. yay or nay?  I am a yay’er

Some options that I came across today were from Torrid.  This reminds me of the belt Carrie wore so much in the Sex and the City movie, that she named it Roger.  http://tinyurl.com/yayswlj

Lane Bryant has some beautiful belts.  This one is making me seriously consider the Rocker Chic trend…http://tinyurl.com/ycrb3h9

For the sexy cat in all of us ladies, try this one on for size from HSN…http://tinyurl.com/ycqpl6l

I am not sure if I love the shape of the belt or the hardware more on this belt from QVC…http://tinyurl.com/ydv89oq

So my loves, belt it up and be sassy. Shake those hips and accentuate those curves!!!

Into some awesome transition pieces.  

I have started to “turn” my closet and I see so many pieces that can take you from summer to fall easily with the right accessories.  Inside it live a multitude of tunics or short sleeveless dresses.  They can be paired with leggings, or thick stockings and boots.  Some ladies love the high boot, some like the short slouchy boot.  I am a fan of both since I have an array of fashion personalities. 

I like to be comfortable and stylish when I get dressed, so if I can meld the two together, I am all set.  It has all come down to finding a “uniform” for me that works.  Some women love pants, some love dresses, I like to marry them.  

An outfit that I recently put together was leggings, short, slouchy boots, chiffon tunic and thick sweater.  I paired it with some bangles, earrings and a big slouchy bag.  You can throw on a belt to cinch the waist if you don’t want to lose your beautiful waist OR you can leave it all slouchy and throw on a bunch of jewelry.  Coco Chanel is my idol, but I definitely do not agree with her idea of taking one accessory off before you leave the house.  Pile them on!!!  Look glamorous.  You only go around once so why not jazz it up!!

One other super fun outfit that I put together very quickly one day was jeans (this will work with wide leg or bootcut), a black and white print sleeveless dress (to the knees) with a black boyfriend sweater over it and a belt!  This outfit was so awesome and it transitioned over all seasons.  You can throw on some cute ballet flats or boots with this outfit.  A great pair of earrings, awesome bangles and a huge bag and you are good to go!  (You can also switch the jeans for black pants and wear it to work.) 

Another trick for the Fall is to throw on a scarf and like Carrie Bradshaw, break out the gloves, for a perfect chilly day fall look! 

Ladies, please make sure if you are wearing leggings, that they are thick, and the proper color.  I saw an unfortunate girl the other day with white thin leggings.  She was not a tiny girl and it was wrong.  Just wrong.

I love the questions.. thank you for posing them and keep them coming!!
