WORK + DRESSY OUTFITS

OUTFIT #3

How to Wear It:
This is great for work, going out, events, conferences and even holidays. Tuck the blouse into the skirt and complete it with the blazer, dark textured flats, clutch and accessories.

How to Wear It All Year:
For chillier weather you can throw on a pair of black opaque tights to keep your stems warm and switch the flats to black lace up booties. Swap this blouse for any color blouse with any sleeve length. I like sleeveless because it’s easier to wear under jackets and cardigans and you can wear them solo in warmer weather. BUT if showing your arms makes you stress-sweat, no fear, a 3/4 sleeve option will still be just as versatile.

OUTFIT #6

How to Wear It:
Wear this for a night out, to work or events. The belt and blazer give this dress some shape for more dressy occasions. For a more casual look, un-belt it and leave off the blazer. Complete the outfit with black tights, black lace up booties a bold statement necklace and accessories.

How to Wear It All Year:
For warmer weather leave off the blazer and tights and swap the shoes for the strappy metallic sandals.

Switch up what you’re sippin’ on! Try detox water: 1/4 cup of strawberries, 1 sliced lemon, 1 sliced grapefruit, and a pitcher of water. Chill & Serve. Delish!

Skin:
Try a tinted moisturizer instead of a traditional foundation. Its lighter, evens skin tone and has added SPF. My favorite is also a CC/BB cream that helps minimize the appearance of pores and acts as a primer; which mattifies and brightens, for a more even-looking skin tone. A daily must have. SHOP IT HERE

Focus on health, not weight. The weight will fall off once you’re eating the right foods, in the right amounts, at the right times.

A weekly deep conditioning treatment makes your hair so much more manageable throughout the week. Designate a weekly spa day to take care of all your personal care maintenance: conditioning treatment, resurfacing mask, trim your nail, tweeze your brows, do a face and body skin checkup, weigh yourself and take your thirty naked minutes in the mirror. I do this as a treat after meal prepping on Sundays.

Mind:
Ditch the negative self-talk. If it’s not complimentary then you don’t need to say it, hear it or repeat it.

Body:
When you walk in heels, balance your weight on the balls of your feet instead of putting all your weight on your heels. High heels miss the mark when you’re wobbling around in them. Heels are supposed to translate your confidence. So walk with confidence, not insecurity and fear.
