Jackie O's White Jeans




I went to visit my mom today and when she saw these white jeans, she really liked them. For spring I like to get jeans with this "ankle" length to wear with ballet flats. But these can be so hard to find. Sometimes the simplest looks are the hardest to get just right! 

Jackie O was my inspiration for this kind of look (Wasn't she gorgeous? The epitome of style and later lived in NY too? Love her)  White jeans can work for any body shape, just need a good fit, so rock those white jeans ladies and bring out your inner Jackie O!

Jacket: Bitten by Sarah Jessica Parker
Blouse: Elle for Kohl's

Day to Night Barbie



I cannot tell you how much I loved this Barbie as a kid. I even had the Day to Night Office/Apartment.

I love the idea of having a day look and then transforming into something else for night. So here are two looks I created with a similar dual nature.

DAY 
(with a splash of night)


This is more like a Saturday or day off look. I love the ruffles on the plaid shirt. Gap still offers a version of this shirt as seen below. I topped it off with a sequin vest. The bag is also a nod to the night...but still cute for day!

NIGHT 
(with a touch of day) 


Here's my night look. A sheath dress that is very Jackie O! This dress also works very well during the day and has the first lady appeal of not only Jackie, but Mrs.Obama !

Being curvy, a sheath was never my best option. This dress works for me because there is seaming on the hip area and a slight A-line hem. So it is form fitting, but my hips have some wiggle room! By definition, not a true sheath, but close enough! The modest cut of this dress is perfect for just about any evening out like a Broadway show or a nice dinner (at dare I say...The White House:)
