Affordable Outfit Details & sharing a couple tip’s

Hello Beautiful’s! Today I wanted to share this fun little outfit I picked up for under $50 at Forever 21 while in Las Vegas with my mom! A Super cute pink stripe bell sleeve off the should top $17.99 and a black frayed hem mini skirt $28.99! I got the top in a Medium and I really needed a small, unfortunately they were sold out! For $18.00 I really thought it’s so cheap, it’s ok is a little big! Bell sleeves and ticking stripes are a huge trend right now! Who doesn’t love a deal! I normally don’t go into Forever 21 because the sizing is all over the place and the quality is 1 to 2 washing’s and it’s done…this is where my first tip comes in…

Tip: I have said it before purchasing very trendy items at a affordable price is smart! Trendy piece’s are normally just around for that season and then DONE! Why spend a lot of money on something that has very little closet time!

Down side to affordable/Cheap clothing is the quality is sometimes poor and the fit can run really small or in this case really big! So make sure to try on…This isn’t the place to shop if you don’t like to try on!

Tip: 2. I normally suggest wearing a affordable piece of clothing with a quality piece! BREAKING A RULE! Here I am wearing two affordable pieces and it works because the denim skirt looks like quality denim! Now I haven’t washed either item yet…So i’ll let you know!

Tip:3 While shopping affordable clothing shops look for items that the fabric feels good, seams are sewn well and buttons are secured with enough stitching. Helps items to last longer and gives a better over all appearance! I am not saying don’t purchase affordable clothing…I am just saying some are much better then other’s. Old saying is true “You do get what you pay for!’

Tip:4 My favorite place’s to get a Bargain but on designer brands are TG Max & Nordstrom Rack… Quality at a steel, WELL sometimes!

Have A great week! OX, D’Arcy

Tuesday’s style Tip= It’s not always about the New! It’s about what you love!

Tuesday’s style Tip=

It’s not always about the New! It’s about what you love!

Happy Tuesday Beautiful’s! This Topic has been weighing on me for awhile now and I decided it’s time to share! Social Media is ALL about the latest and greatest! Current trends and everyone always trying to sell you something! I don’t want you to feel like I am always try to sell you something, I want for you to think of me as a resource, A person you can trust and get advise from! Now…I get a lot of messages and text as to where I got something or what brand, So I will always list links to what I am sharing or maybe something like it to make it easier for you. If I am working with a company it is truly because I love it and am honored to collaborate with them!

As A girl that has always loved FASHION and yes making sure I was on TREND and current, I never felt you had to clear out your closet or Always buy NEW! (Now I am not saying never clean out your closet!)I mean to start Fresh every season…. For most that just isn’t available with the budget! I like to stress to my clients spend your money on classics and buy the affordable Trendy pieces! Classics are just that CLASSIC…classic pieces will last you forever and stay IN forever or come back IN…in a couple years! This White leather jacket to me is a classic staple piece. It’s a piece that you can have for years and bring it in and out of your wardrobe with nobody guessing it’s age! ( Mines 8 years old) Classic pieces are worth spending good money on when you divide it by the years of use it becomes pennies! Expensive pieces fit better and really do wash and wear 10x better (one of the reasons they last so long!) Purchasing new is fun and buying Trendy pieces for the season helps keep your Classic pieces looking NEW and on trend!

Breaking down how you can make your OLD pieces look new… Here I am Not wearing anything Newer then 9 months…. My distressed Jeans are 9 months old, my Shoes and necklace are 2 years old or older and my numbered tee is over 4 years old! Nothing NEW… But this outfit still looks on Trend….Why, well if you break it down I am wearing a classic leather jacket, number and Vintage tee’s always look chic, A fun pair of embroidered heels dress up any outfit! Now Embroidery is Hot hot hot this season….Let me tell you it comes and goes on the trend alert but I have some very beautiful and expensive embroidered pieces I’ll never get tired of, I love them and that is a key to buying… I might not wear for a couple of seasons but that embroidery always comes back around… Distressed jeans have been HOT for a couple of seasons Now, these keep the outfit on the Chic side! When I find A jean I like a do buy a couple pairs, you can normally tweak your jean collection to be on trend. A snip here or a hem here or fray the hem…etc! My statement necklace… Statement necklaces aren’t a huge trend right Now. (I really kept this because it matched the shoes perfectly!) but the big pop of color really works with this outfit and adds a fun element!

Happy when I can look in my closet and pull clothes together that can make a ON TREND outfit with not a lot of NEW! Trends come and go so make sure it’s something you love…You’ll get years of use out of it!

Clothing list: Jacket=Kut from the Kloth, Jeans=Edyson, Tee=Victoria Secret, Shoes= Just Fab, Necklace= Chic Style

Tuesday’s Tip=Shorter shorts after 40

Kicking it up to a Shorter week! Hope you had a fabulous Holiday weekend. Head over to my Facebook page to see what I was up to! (Dear D’Arcy facebook)

Tip: Switching your shoes from a wedge to a flat give a totally different feel to the outfit! Went from Date night outfit to Lunch or shopping!

Tuesday’s Tip= Wearing shorter shorts after 40!

Let’s face it as we age our body and skin changes. Some people say you can’t wear shorter shorts after 40! I feel if you have great legs or work hard to stay fit go for it!

I have some tips for wearing shorter shorts after 40 to stay classy and not like your trying to look 20!

Use A great self Tanner, It helps hide flaws and Tan legs look great in shorts! Sorry and I know I’ll get flack for saying it but white legs are just a NO in your 40’s in shorter shorts! In your younger years you could get away with anything! Not now…Get a great self tanner! See my favorites in my prior blog post…self tanner’s

Shorter shorts means a 5 inch inseam NOT a 3 inch cheek showing short! I don’t care how great your body is leave the 3 inch booty shorts to the teenagers!

To keep your outfit balance and too not look like your going clubbing don’t wear a sexy top with shorter short! Yes.. I am wearing a off the shoulder top but its chambray and has a feel of day time.

Wear a wedge it lengthens the leg and really does give the appearance of toner legs.

Pilates and the elliptical really do keep your legs in great shape!

I am really lucky and never really had an issue with cellulite (stretch marks yes!) I am not sure as to why not, I have read its a inherited trait but my tip would be I use coconut oil everyday in the shower after drying off! I also exfoliate my body with a sugar scrub every week!

I hope your age doesn’t stop you from feeling like you can’t dress the way you want! You can be chic and fashionable at every age! OX, D’Arcy

Way to Wear Wednesday = 7 ways to wear a Denim Jacket

Happy Wednesday Beautiful ladies! Do you have a denim jacket? If not you really should. I feel it is one basic piece everyone should own. I personally have Multiple denim jackets in different washes.

Here I am showing you 7 different way’s you can wear your denim jacket besides the normal Tee shirt and Jeans or with basic shorts.

Wear with a Lace or Floral Romper to dress it down or give it sass.
It looks great with a tight jersey or form fitting dress.
Paired with tulle, it dresses it down, as to not look as if your headed to a party.
Wear with a pencil or tulip skirt. Darling with an Aline as well. I love denim with skirts, I think it gives it edge.
Paring with Cargo skinny pants adds another texture to help define your outfit.
Worn with a maxi skirt gives a more laid back casual look!
One of my favorite ways to wear a denim jacket is with a floral or lace slip/cami dress and booties for a touch of country! Tip’s on purchasing a Denim jacket, buy a good quality one so it will last for years. Make sure its fitted and not boxy! (this is important for wearing with dresses and skirts) find the weight you like. I have a spring weight which is light enough for Spring/summer and a heavier weight for fall/winter. If it your first denim jacket make sure you love the wash and it will work with a bunch of what you already own. I like Lighter wash for All my Spring/Summer clothes and Medium wash for Fall/Winter. (Kut form the Kloth Denim jackets are my personal favorite! They Fit amazing, wash up awesome and have a bunch of washes seasonally !) I hope I inspired you to wear your denim jacket in a few new way’s and if you didn’t own one you now will want too! OX, D’Arcy *Light wash Spring weight Denim jacket above is Kut from the Kloth
