Style Watch!

CUFFS! They are a big trend for the season to come and there are some really unique styles. This is a great way to add a little extra sparkle or sass to your look!

Some cuffs that I own:

Giving’s Gleam Cuff $68 Anthropologie

- I love this cuff because you can wear it with any

 color and it’s a great statement piece.

The Malony’s gave me this cuff for Christmas and I love it!  The color is great and the style is unique.   The cuff itself is gold.

You can find this cuff and many more styles at GSLillian.com

Belt It!

WAIST MANAGEMENT:

It is amazing what a difference a belt can make. I am famous for always saying “Oh that looks great, you should belt it!” If you don’t own a belt, start with the basics: Brown, Black and a colored one like Red of Yellow (both great POP colors). Belts are great for those dresses or tops you own that are just so cute but not the most flattering. Solution: BELT IT! Belts draw your attention to the smallest part of your body and when worn right, can make all the difference.

Great belt ideas:

Beaming Links Belt

Buckled Cummerbund

Caning Double Belt

Grand Proportions Belt

Tights

Tights are a great option for a touch of color and pattern to your everyday look!  For an added bonus they help keep you warm as well. 

Wearing tights with open toe shoes:
That’s right,  now that tights and peep-toe shoes are both in style, women everywhere can happily break this rule.  This allows for your shoe wardrobe to last year round.

You can never have enough tights.  Hosiery is a great way to showcase you inner style and take a risk.

The best time to buy tights is on sale.  You can usually find a vareity of tights on sale come spring.  STOCK UP!  Tights never go out of style and you will  need them each year.  They fall under the “neccessity” catagory, so it makes stocking up a little more “guilt-free”.

You should view your tights as an extra accessory and use them like it.

Poorly made tights are simply not worth the money.  I swear by “HUE” tights.  This brand is amazing, they hold up for at least 2 seasons and well worth the $12.50. Hue’s come in a large scheme of colors ranging from basic black to juicy red.  Opaque tights should be thick and maintain their opacity when stretched.

Keep in mind your size when buying tights.  Just because you are a size zero doesn’t mean you will be a size small in tights.  It is best to go based off of height.  You may need a size bigger than your waistline to cover the length of your legs.  There is nothing worse than having tights that are too short for you and slide down all day.  When in doubt always size up in tights.

Tight options:

Chevron Stack Tights

Calligrapher’s Tights

Sign Here Tights

Photolace Tights

Opaque Tights HUE

Long-Stem Tights ( MY FAVORITE!)

*All tights from Anthropologie and range from $12.50-$24.00
