Red Rocks – JCrew Event – Looks 3 and 4

December 11, 2018 by Cynthia

Red Rocks!! It’s great as the main event or the perfect accent color.

I will be at JCrew New Canaan, CT – TOMORROW, Wednesday, December 12 for a Special Color Style Focus Event: 10:30-2pm/24 Elm Street, New Canaan, CT. I would love to assist you putting together a great look using color or a thoughtful gift!

Be sure to : “Mention Cynthia Hudson and in addition to promotional discounts get another 20% off your purchase of $125 or more and a FREE JCrew tote bag”

Red Rocks as the main event in the first JCrew look here.

I styled it as an outfit which could be worn any cold day, as a really great sport spectator look or heading to cut down the Christmas tree outfit. Layered with a cozy and trendy sherpa toggle coat over a classic wool fair isle sweater with red accessories, curvy toothpick jeans and awesome Nordic boots (love the red laces). Of course, you need your cool sunnies too!

SHOP THE LOOK – below pics of this look.

The following JCrew look started out as a dressy look with the burnout velvet leopard skirt and sequined cable knit sweater with chandelier earrings but then by pairing it with the silver bootie (my own) and camp socks it went much less serious – I love it for a party but also as a unique day look too.

Red Rocks here as the accent color in the sunglasses, the coat and the socks.

A touch of whimsy with the camp socks.

Wear a beret and the look goes French chic!

The sweater has beautiful details – the sequins make it a sweater you can dress up.

Styling with Color – Look 2

December 10, 2018 by Cynthia

Styling with color is a fun and creative process. I think most people default to typical and quiet combinations. Clearly some colors compliment eachother and others do not – but I dare you to push the envelope and create a bit of surprise with your outfits.

The JCrew outfit here, styled for a casual party or even a meal out, combines a dressier, stiffer, lace fabric in the trouser with a super cozy, soft turtleneck sweater. A more common decision would be to dress up the red lace pant. By combining a stiff fabric with a soft sweater in a warm color, like camel, relaxes the outfit and makes it feel more casual. It also makes the pant more versatile. By pairing with an unexpected combination of accessories like a tartan scarf and leopard print shoes and gloves makes the outfit more interesting.

Try styling with color by pairing combos you would not normally put together and combine a dressier piece with a casual piece – it will open up a whole new wardrobe world!!

Fall Fashion

September 6, 2016 by Cynthia

Fall Fashion, the clothing season I love most, is nearly here!! The Fall Runways showed all sorts of fabulous trends – many very classic and wearable. Those resonating with me most are Cross Body Stoles, Gray Plaid, Navy Overcoats, Off-the-Shoulder, Pin Stripe Suiting, Shearling Bombers, Statement Fur and Velvet!!

Shown here are runway images. Below each example is a wearable and affordable example of the trend. Click on the link for more information or to purchase.

CROSS BODY STOLES

I love a fur accessory and wearing a luxurious stole across your body is a fun and versatile way of using it. Definitely makes a statement and shows you’ve got confidence.

Zara Small Fur Stole

GRAY PLAID

I will never tire of gray plaid and I am happy to see this classic is hot this Fall! So many ways to wear – casual, for work, and even dressy and a super wardrobe staple and builder.

Theory Double Faced Wool

NAVY OVERCOAT

Perhaps you already have a navy overcoat – please wear it!! This is another classic worth having in your wardrobe and since it is on trend for Fall, wear it with everything.

JCrew Lady Day Coat with Gold Buttons

OFF-THE-SHOULDER

This is such a feminine and flattering look. If you didn’t get a top for Spring and Summer, it’s time to get either a long-sleeved top for Fall or a great dress.

Milly ‘Selena’ Off the Shoulder Midi Dress (Nordstrom)

PIN STRIPE SUITING

A sharp and classic fabric – just a pair of slacks or a blazer would be a superb addition to your wardrobe and have you on trend but will work for years.

Zara Pinstripe Trouser

SHEARLING BOMBER

Fun, fun!! A chunky and cozy outerwear piece that makes a big statement. Go faux and save a few bucks.

Zara Suede Effect and Fleecy Jacket

STATEMENT FUR

Here is an opportunity to show off your personality and individuality. (Faux is fine.)

Zara Multicoloured Faux Fur Jacket

SHADES OF TAN

Elegant, classic, cozy…cannot go wrong adding something tan. Goes with everything for any occasion!

JCrew Collection double-faced cashmere top

VELVET

Luxurious and chic – a velvet blazer or even a velvet sneaker would work hard this Fall.

Anthropologie Eve Velvet Blazer

Have fun with Fall Fashion and make selections that suit your personal style, update and build your wardrobe and boost your confidence!!

Fall Trend Sleeveless Long Vest

September 12, 2015 by Cynthia

A Fall Trend I love is the Sleeveless Long Vest! A great piece to add to your wardrobe because of its versatility and ability to make the outfit. Some styles are more casual than others but the long sleeveless vest’s versatility permits it to work over jeans and a t-shirt, leather leggings, a dress, dressy trousers, shorts and a skirt and top – you name it, it works with it!

I’ve selected various Sleeveless Long Vest style options and at different price points. If interested in finding more information about the items click on the highlighted words above the photo.
