Dressing for Success

Its a New Year boys and girls! How about a new you fashion-wise? It doesn't need to take a ton of time or thought to be a fashion success - Let's dress the part shall we?

Today we will takle some pertinent issues - namely UGGS, SWEATS and NORTHFACE JACKETS

Even though the weather is amazingly cold and disgusting in our part of the world (Buffalo NY), I still think that we could dress a bit more on the chic side and less on the UGG side. Now, don't get me wrong, I have UGGS and wear them on a regular basis TO THE HOCKEY RINK. Ladies, there are other boots out there .... DSW is loaded with flat, winter appropriate boots that look a bit more chic than shlubby.

Yesterday at Wegman's, I saw a woman wearing UGGS and sweatpants with a big boot print on her butt. NOT ATTRACTIVE ....It doesn't take any longer to pull on a pair of jeans than a pair of sweats. Now, I know that there are some of us who may have over-indulged during the holidays and the jeans might be a bit snug but ditch the sweats and save them for the GYM or a disgusting winter day spent on the couch watching What Not To Wear re-runs! You never know ...

The Northface jacket is also part of our "uniform" - warm? Absolutely! Stylish? Not so much. You will look so much more put together with a coat that might be sitting in your closet because it is too "nice" to wear every day. What sense does that make? Pull it out of the closet and put it on. Add a nice scarf and you are ready to go. How fabulous!

Shop your closet - you know that there are tons of things buried in there that have not seen the light of day in years - donate them to Goodwill if they are too small, share them with your friends (clothing swap!) or wear them. Cheers to a New Year and some new style in 2010.
