The ultimate wrap for the Winter....





For me the key element when it comes to dressing in the Fall and Winter is LAYERS! However, it can sometimes be hard to layer and not look like you are the abominable snowman, dressed in 8 puffy layers. A few years ago, I was introduced to the Splendid Wrap, and I absolutely love it! Thankfully for me Trunk Club for Women works very closely with the brand. The wraps are made of a lightweight cotton material, that is soft and comfortable yet has enough spandex material in it, to hug your body just right. I typically wear a tank top or a short sleeve shirt underneath my wrap but you can really wear it with anything. Plus, it's meant to be worn several ways. You can leave it open, wrap it around your shoulders or just loosely tie the ends together. It really is the perfect layering piece.


And if I might mention they make a great gift for the Holidays! :)

Pencil Skirts Shopping Guide

With Fall upon us and Winter almost here, it's the perfect time to get those skirts and boots out. I love the idea of wearing skirts, tights and boots to work or out on the weekend. The problem is trying to find the right type of skirt that's flattering for my body type. Pencil skirts are very popular and "in", but it's hard to tell if they are flattering on my body type. I'm always wondering, do my hips look big, are my thighs being accentuated too much? And that's just pencil skirts, then there are straight skirts and a-line skirts and... well you get the point! I stumbled upon an article from Real Simple magazine with a shopping guide for pencil skirts and I thought I would share it with you.

Happy Shopping!
