How To Style The Layering Trend This Season

Talking Trends: Let’s Talk Layers

It’s time to talk layers! 🍂
This week on Wednesday Wardrobing Live, I’ll be showing you how to master the layering trend — from dressy to casual and everything in between. Whether you’re reaching for a blazer, plaid shirt, sweatshirt, or vest, the key is to mix textures, proportions, and styles for looks that feel fresh, intentional, and uniquely you.

Blazers: From Structured to Oversized

Let’s start with blazers, one of fall’s most versatile pieces.

The She & Sky Tweed Blazer

This piece has that “wearing your boyfriend’s jacket” vibe — relaxed, oversized, and effortlessly stylish. The warm camel tweed makes it perfect for pairing with earthy tones.

Here’s how I’ll be styling it on the live show:

  • Over our Blu Pepper Plaid Boxy Shirt for a fun, unexpected twist
  • Layered with our She & Sky Sweater Vest in ivory for a polished, office-ready look
  • Combined with our Democracy Edge Tipped Shirt and She & Sky Tie Front Menswear Vest in black for a layered menswear-inspired outfit
  • Thrown over our Easel Wild West Sweatshirt for that cool, casual “dressed-down blazer” vibe

The Liverpool Velvet Blazer

On the other end of the spectrum, our Liverpool Velvet Blazer offers a fitted, more tailored silhouette. I’ll show it styled two ways:

  • Layered over our Blu Pepper Plaid Blouse for a smart casual combo
  • Dressed up with our She & Sky Pintuck Tie Front Blouse for an elegant, evening-ready outfit

Layering Vests: From Corduroy to Menswear

Vests are another big part of this trend — and this season, they’re everywhere. I’ll be showcasing a printed corduroy vest, styled over an ivory collared sweater and finished with our Liverpool Denim Jacket. The combination of textures gives dimension and interest to your outfit.

Menswear-inspired vests are also making a strong return. They can easily be worn under or over shirts, or even paired with casual pieces like graphic tees or sweatshirts for a fresh contrast.

The Secret to Layering Success

Getting creative is the real secret here — don’t limit yourself to only two layers.
Play with opposites: pair a structured blazer with a laid-back hoodie or a dressy vest over a casual flannel.

Layered looks also pair perfectly with a slim thigh bootcut jean. Avoid looser styles through the thigh — they can make the overall silhouette appear bulky or unpolished.

The beauty of this trend is its versatility. You can:

  • Dress it up for the office
  • Dress it down for the weekend
  • Maximize your wardrobe by mixing these layers with pieces you already own

How To Style The Barrel Leg Jean Trend

Posted in dressing for your age, fall fashion trends, fashion, fashion trends, how to by

Wednesday Wardrobing – Wearing The Trends

If you’ve been scrolling fashion feeds lately, you’ve probably noticed a new denim silhouette showing up everywhere — the barrel leg jean. This style might look a little unfamiliar at first, but once you understand its shape and how to style it, it’s easy to see why it’s becoming one of the most talked-about denim trends of the season.

What Are Barrel Leg Jeans?

The name says it all — the shape mimics that of a barrel: narrow at the top and bottom, fuller through the middle. Most barrel leg pants have a straight leg opening and extra room through the thigh and knee area. Depending on how wide the leg is cut, the look can range from softly slouchy to intentionally voluminous.

Some fashion lovers like to cuff the hem for that slightly undone, “I care, but I really don’t care” vibe that makes this trend so wearable.

A Little Style History

Barrel leg jeans are a modern evolution of earlier styles — think 1980s “mom jeans” meets 1990s relaxed fits, reimagined for today’s structured, tailored aesthetic. The shape feels current but gives a quiet nod to vintage utility styles that celebrated comfort and movement.

How We’re Styling the Trend

This week on Wednesday Wardrobing, I’m diving into this silhouette and showing three ways to wear the barrel leg look — from knit and casual to denim and elevated. Here’s a sneak peek at what I’ll be featuring tonight!

This look is our non barrel leg, barrel leg jean from Democracy for those who want to try the trend without going full in. You can grab this look here:
Democracy Barrel Leg Ankle Jean with Step Hem

☕ Look One: J.O.A Knit Barrel Leg Pant

From J.O.A, a division of Blu Pepper, these coffee-colored knit barrel leg pants are an easy introduction to the trend. They feature an elastic waist, two front cargo-style pockets, and two back pockets. The main fabric is a textured, stretchy knit that’s comfy yet polished, while the pockets are made from smooth cotton for contrast.

Since these pants have an elevated sweatpant feel, I’ve styled them with a cropped sweater with ruched sleeves and a quilted vest in brown. These layers dress up the pants just enough, keeping the look relaxed but refined — perfect for those casual fall days when you want to look put-together but comfortable.

👖 Look Two: Democracy Barrel Leg Jean

Next up is the Democracy Barrel Leg Jean, which brings a dose of retro cool to the mix. The medium blue wash with light distressing gives it that 80’s-inspired feel, and each leg features three darts along the side for added detail and shaping. Like all Democracy jeans, it includes their signature Absolution® technology — a tummy control panel and no-gap waistband for a smooth, flattering fit.

I’ve paired this jean with a cropped bubble hem top, also from Democracy. The shorter top length balances the fullness of the barrel leg, creating a flattering proportion that works on all body types.

🩶 Look Three: The “Non-Barrel” Barrel Leg

For those who want to try the trend without fully committing, this last option is for you. This jean has seaming details that mimic a barrel shape but is technically a straight leg. It gives you the look without the volume — perfect if you prefer something more subtle.

To balance the silhouette, I’ve added a cropped sweater vest with bows layered over a soft striped shirt that can be tucked in. The combination feels playful yet polished — a great mix for transitioning into fall.

Styling Tips for Barrel Leg Jeans

Because barrel leg jeans are fuller through the leg, it’s important to balance your outfit with a more fitted or cropped top. If your top is too loose or long, the proportions can overwhelm your frame and make the outfit appear boxy.

For shoes, go with chunkier-soled boots or loafers. The added weight on the bottom balances out the wider silhouette — especially if you like to cuff your jeans.

Fall/Winter 2025 Fabric Trends

🧵 Fall/Winter 2025 Fabric Trends You Need in Your Closet

Image from TrendLines Fall/Winter 2025 – Boutique Hub

Fashion lovers, we’ve talked about color trends and style trends for the upcoming season—and if you missed those videos, you can catch the replays anytime on our YouTube channel. 💻

Tonight at 6 p.m. MST, join me live on Facebook for Wednesday Wardrobing Live as we dive into the must-know fabric trends for Fall/Winter 2025.

These are the key prints and textures you’ll be seeing everywhere this season—and how to style them to keep your wardrobe fresh, current, and on-trend. 🍂

🐍 Snake Prints

Animal prints are back in a big way, and snake print is leading the charge. A little goes a long way—think handbags, shoes, or belts for an edgy accent. If a full snake print blouse or skirt feels intimidating, start small with accessories to ease into this bold trend.

🧣 Tartan & Plaids

Classic tartan and cozy plaid patterns are fall staples, showing up on shackets, oversized shirts, scarves, and even coats. To keep the look polished, let your plaid piece be the star—layer it over neutral basics and solid colors.

✨ Velvet

Few fabrics say “holiday season” like velvet. This year, it’s showing up on everything from blazers to dresses. Soft, plush, and undeniably luxe, velvet instantly adds richness and depth to your look—perfect for the festive months ahead.

♟️ Gingham

gingham is traditionally seen in summer, but it’s getting a cold-weather makeover. Look for gingham in blouses layered under cardigans or blazers, or as subtle accent pieces that bring a playful check to your winter layers.

⚪ Polka Dots

Timeless and fun, polka dots add a touch of whimsy to your wardrobe. This season, they’re making a statement in black-and-white combinations on blouses and skirts—and they’ll stay strong into Spring 2026.

🤠 Western Denim

Western-inspired details are everywhere in denim right now. Look for yoke backs, pearl snaps, and contrast stitching on shirts and jeans. Style them with fringe, leather, and chunky sweaters to nail the modern cowboy-cool vibe.

🌼 70’s Prints

Bright, bold, and psychedelic, 1970s-inspired prints are having a moment. Think groovy swirls, geometric patterns, and vibrant color combos—perfect for anyone who loves a playful, statement-making look.

🧥 Faux Fur

faux fur is roaring back this season! Expect long, dramatic fur coats on the runway and in stores. Not ready to commit to a full coat? Try touches of faux fur on collars, cuffs, or trim for a subtle nod to this cozy-glam trend.

💛 Want to see all these trends up close?
Join me tonight at 6 p.m. MST live on Facebook for our Wednesday Wardrobing Live where I’ll be showing you real-life examples of these fabric trends styled with pieces from our store. You can also watch the replay on our YouTube channel anytime.

Last Call Looks: How to Style the Final Pieces Like a Pro

Posted in fashion, Fashion, how to, personal style, sales, tips and tricks, Trendy at any age by

Last Call Looks: How to Style the Final Pieces Like a Pro

We’ve all been there—browsing through the sale rack and spotting that one lonely piece left in your size, marked down and waiting to be loved. It’s tempting, but it can also be tricky: How do you style those final pieces? Are they really worth grabbing if they’re the “last call”? The answer is YES—and today, I’m showing you how to style those hidden gems like a pro. 💁‍♀️✨

The Sale Rack Isn’t Leftovers—It’s Opportunity

It’s easy to assume that end-of-season pieces are what no one wanted. But more often than not, they’re simply the last survivors of best-sellers! Maybe there were only a couple of sizes to begin with, or maybe it was such a hit, it just flew out the door. That means you’re catching the very end of something fabulous—possibly at a steal.

The key is styling with intention and a little creativity. That “last one left” could be the standout piece your wardrobe is craving.

1. Elevate with Neutrals

If you score a bold color or a unique print, don’t let it intimidate you. Pair it with neutral basics like denim, white jeans, or a black blazer to let the piece shine. Think of it as the star of your outfit, not the whole show.

✔️ Pro tip: A bright floral blouse? Tuck it into a sleek black skirt, black slacks, or wear it with cropped jeans and wedges for instant sophistication.

2. Layer It Like You Meant To

Many final-sale items are lightweight transitional pieces—tops, short sleeve sweaters, or dresses—that work year-round if layered correctly.

✔️ Pro tip: A summer dress can carry you into fall with a denim jacket and ankle boots. A sleeveless blouse becomes office-ready under a blazer. A short sleeve denim top can be a year around basic paired under a blazer. A striped tee can be just the right print to wear under a solid cardigan sweater. A denim vest can be a star for fall when layered with a white collared blouse.

3. Update the Accessories

Sometimes all a piece needs is a fresh accessory story to feel totally modern. Add statement earrings, a bold belt, or a great crossbody bag to give that final-piece vibe a trendy upgrade.

✔️ Pro tip: Our Kendra Scott Mini Elisa Necklace or a HOBO leather bag can breathe new life into any outfit.

4. Treat It Like a Limited Edition

Remember: when you’re buying a final piece, you’re buying something no one else will be able to grab later. That makes it even more special! These one-of-a-kind wardrobe additions can become signature looks when styled with confidence.

✔️ Pro tip: Keep a mental list (or photo album!) of your current wardrobe so you can picture how that piece will fit in before you buy. Think versatility.

5. Ask the Experts (That’s Us!)

One of the BEST things about shopping with us is our commitment to helping you style what you buy. Whether it’s in-store advice, Facebook Lives like Wednesday Wardrobing, or style help inside our VIP Fashionistas Group, we’ve got your back.

✔️ Pro tip: Bring that “final piece” to our VIP group and ask for outfit ideas—you’ll get tons of inspiration from fellow fashion lovers, but you’ll have to join first! Here’s the link: Fashion Crossroads Fashionistas VIP Group.

This Week’s Wednesday Wardrobing Live: “Last Call Looks”

Join me tonight at 6 p.m. MST on Facebook and Instagram as I share real outfit examples of how to make those last pieces your most-loved items. I’ll style them head-to-toe and show you how versatile they really can be. Watch the video on our Facebook page.

And remember… the best pieces don’t always arrive at the start of the season. Sometimes, they’re waiting at the very end—just for you. 💕

How To Wear Green Without Looking Like A Leprechaun

Posted in clothing, dressing your best, fashion, how to by

Wednesday Wardrobing: How to Wear Green Without Looking Like a Leprechaun
Featuring Our Olive You The Most Collection

Green: it’s bold, it’s beautiful, and it’s not just for St. Patrick’s Day. But let’s be honest—it’s also a color that can go terribly wrong if not styled with intention. The good news? When done right, green adds richness, vibrancy, and a bit of natural flair to your look. This week, we’re talking all things green—what to do, what not to do, and how to use pieces from our Olive You The Most Collection to pull off this earthy hue like a pro.

💚 Why Green?

Green symbolizes growth, renewal, and balance. It evokes feelings of harmony, freshness, and peace—who doesn’t need a little of that in their life? Wearing green can boost your mood and make you feel grounded and confident. It’s also a flattering color on a wide range of skin tones, especially olive and sage tones.

✅ DO: Make Green the Star of the Show

One of the easiest ways to wear green is to let it be the main focus of your outfit. Pick one key green piece and keep the rest neutral.

Try this:
Our Democracy Olive Slim Straight Leg Jeans are the perfect example. Pair them with a soft ivory blouse or white tee and let the olive hue take center stage. Add a nude shoe and gold jewelry, and you’re out the door in five, looking completely put together.

❌ DON’T: Overdo It

Unless you’re going for a full monochrome look (which can be tricky), avoid piling on too many green items. You want it to feel intentional—not like you got dressed in the dark. When you mix green’s make sure they are from the same hue. For example, a top in a dark olive and a handbag in a lighter version of the same color. Mixing greens can go off the rails fast!!

🎯 DO: Use Green as a Pop of Color

Green makes for a fantastic pop when used in accessories like handbags and jewelry. It adds just enough interest without dominating your look.

Try this:
Pair your favorite denim and white tee combo with the HOBO Fern Top Handle Shoulder Bag or HOBO Advance Shoulder Bag in Watercress. The color is fresh, unexpected, and brings instant style points. Layer on the Kendra Scott Sylvia Necklace in Pink Chalcedony for a dreamy, beachy finish that complements the earthy tones. Finish with an olive green tennis shoe in the same hue as the handbag.

👖 How to Style Green Pants

Green pants might sound intimidating, but they’re surprisingly versatile. Think of them like khakis or dark denim.

Style Tip:
Pair our Charlie B Slim Leg Chino in Olive with the Staccato Stripe V-Neck Top in peach and olive. The chevron stripe detail ties the look together, while the rolled sleeve and high-low hem keep it laid-back but polished. Add a crossbody bag like the HOBO Romy in Rose to pick up the peach tones, and you’ve got a balanced, beautiful outfit.

🧠 BONUS: Green Works Year-Round

  • Spring/Summer: Go for lighter olive and sage tones. Keep the look fresh with white, beige, or blush accents.
  • Fall/Winter: Deepen your green game with forest or hunter tones, and pair with black, camel, or burgundy.

Final Thoughts

Green doesn’t have to be scary. In fact, it might just become your new favorite neutral. Whether it’s pants, a top, or just a fabulous bag, adding green to your wardrobe brings life, personality, and style to your everyday looks.

Watch my Wednesday Wardrobing video on Facebook at 6 p.m. MST to see examples!

So go ahead—Olive You The Most, and you should too. 💚
Happy Wardrobing!

It’s full of easy, breezy pieces that bring together the crispness of white, the coolness of denim blue, and the effortless charm of stripes, while still allowing you to feel put together.

The Sailor Chic trend is all about fresh, classic style with nautical influences—think navy, white, stripes, and breezy silhouettes. It’s clean, elegant, and always in season.

  • A denim blue and white starburst print that feels bold yet classic.
  • A muted floral print with soft blush tones that adds a touch of romance to your lake night style.

Both are soft, stylish, and perfect to toss over a tank top as a light layer.

👚 Liverpool’s Dressy Tencel Blouse

🌀 Charlie B Striped Hoodie

Stripes are the nautical classic—and this hoodie takes it up a notch with bold, wide stripes in blue, turquoise, and mustard. It’s relaxed, comfy, and ideal for casual lake mornings with coffee or beachside exploring.

👖 White Jeans that Wow

No Sailor Chic wardrobe is complete without a crisp pair of white jeans, and we’ve got two stellar options from Cello:

  • A straight leg jean for timeless style and clean lines.
  • A modern flared silhouette for a little extra drama (in the best way possible).

🌟 Flared Crop Ankle Jean from Liverpool

Wednesday Wardrobing: Putting The Trends Together – Tie Front Tops

Posted in clothing, dressing for your age, dressing your figure, fashion, fashion trends, how to by

Tie Front Tops: The Trend You Need This Season 🌸✨

If there’s one trend taking over closets this season, it’s the tie front top! Whether you’re looking to add a playful touch to your casual look or a chic flair to your weekend wear, this style has you covered. Let’s talk about why we love it and how to wear it for every occasion.

Why We Love Tie Front Tops

  1. Perfect for Petites: Tie front tops typically hit mid-hip, making them ideal for shorter frames. They give you that cropped look without sacrificing coverage.
  2. Get the Cropped Look Without the Crop: If you love the cropped trend but aren’t quite ready to bare your midriff, a tie front top is the perfect solution. It defines your waist without showing too much skin.
  3. Versatile Styling: These tops work with just about anything in your closet. Pair them with shorts for a casual day out, a denim skirt for a chic lunch date, or comfy lounge pants for a cozy weekend look.

How to Wear a Tie Front Top

  • Fit Matters: Aim for the hemline to hit midway between your natural waist and crotch. This creates a balanced, flattering silhouette.
  • Avoid the Hips: If you’re curvier in the hips, avoid letting the tie sit right at your widest point. Opt for a slightly higher tie to draw attention to your waist.
  • Dress It Up or Down: For a casual vibe, wear a tie front top with denim shorts or joggers. To elevate the look, pair it with a high-waisted skirt or tailored pants.

Wednesday Wardrobing Recap

In this week’s Wednesday Wardrobing video, I showed how to style tie front tops with everything from relaxed shorts to polished skirts. Missed it? You can catch the replay here: https://youtu.be/0YDLeIzC_U4
