In this week’s email newsletter Q&A, I talked about dressing for yourself and not being afraid to pull out your chic pieces even if you aren’t necessarily doing something special. I really don’t believe in “saving” items for special occasions (although there are a few exceptions when an item is black tie, etc.). You bought them, so wear them! People ask me if I really get dressed up (i.e. actually wear the clothes I show on my blog) and of course I do! I love getting ready in the morning, even if my to-do list is filled with things that will only keep me at home on my computer.

I love this Suno blouse’s oversized bow, but also the fact that it’s just a simple chambray top other than that, making it really easy to pair with everything. I’ve worn it with boyfriend jeans and white jeans, but I really love it with these J.Crew lace pants. Last time I wore these pants, I wore them with the matching peplum top, but I wear them more often with other non-matching pieces.

These Gianvito Rossi heels were my favorite velvet purchase this year. I can’t get enough of velvet, especially for the holidays, and these pumps have been coming out a lot lately. They’re currently on sale here, but also available in this gorgeous deep burgundy color. And if you want more of the dusty rose velvet, these pumps come in a sneaker version, a loafer version, a boot version, a mule version, this ankle strap version and this bow version. I love them all!
