Outfit Inspiration: Mini

I wore this out to dinner with friends on a surprisingly warm Friday night.

-Random silver cuff
-Bandolino wedges

The dress and shoes pretty much speak for themselves; an outfit like this doesn't require much else.

Shopping Anthropologie: Shoes

I was just looking through Anthropologie's October book and and absolutely fell in love with some of the shoes featured in it! I cannot get over these vintage inspired shoes with rosettes, bows, muted colors and perfect heels. I. Must. Buy. Shoes.

Wish List: Cape

A cape was on my wish list last year but I never did get one. And this year they're all over the place. I love this one from Ann Taylor LOFT (currently on sale for $49.50!) that just popped up in my inbox. Very casual chic.

Get your fashion questions answered

For the next few months, I will be partnering up with the Little Black Dress Club to answer all of your fashion, shopping and style questions!

Log on to LBDCLub.com to post a question in the fashion forum and then check back in for a response from me as well as insight from each other. We will also be featuring answers to selected questions in the LBD Club monthly newsletter as well as in the Cathy Phillips Fashion e-newsletter.

Anyone who posts a question from now until February will be entered to win one of two prizes: a closet consultation with me (for those in the DC area) and a $50 gift card (for those outside of DC). During the closet consultation, we will go through your wardrobe piece by piece, figure out what's working, what's not and why. We'll talk about body type and what styles work best for you and come up with a list of things you need to round out your wardrobe.

So, log in to LBDClub.com to post your questions and enter the contest and visit my blog at cathyphillipsfashion.com for more fashion advice. And don't forget to sign up for the LBD Club newsletter on their website and the Cathy Phillips Fashion newsletter on my blog (to your right) to see selected questions and answers featured. I look forward to chatting with you on the fashion forum!

Outfit Inspiration: Forever21

This is the sweater I posted about the other day. I love the bow, it feels like something Marc Jacobs would do. Pink, purple and a big bow? What can I say? I'm a girly girl.

-Forever21 sweater
-Marc Jacobs top
-Purple jeans from Forever21
-Nine West shoes

The jeans aren't cropped, I rolled them up. When trying this at home, keep the rolls somewhat casual and imperfect and small rather than big folds so it cuts right around your ankle, which will make your legs look skinnier.

Shopping for Sweaters

I've been craving some fabulous sweaters for fall, onces with great shapes and details. I have plenty of basic sweaters but really wanted something to jazz up my fall outfits. I found these two at Forever21 today, both for under $25! I'll wear the long one with skinny jeans or leggings for a casual, comfortable and cozy look and throw on the one with the bow when I'm in a Mad Men mood.




















Anthropologie is also a wonderful source for sweaters with fun details. I've been eyeing all of these for about a month but they're a bit pricier than my F21 versions.
