How To Dress Up Your Spring Tee

By jenclydestylist | April 9, 2013 | Segments | 2 Comments

Ok so I will make this short and sweet. The other day my cute new Sales Manager was rocking some way fun T-shirts. But her job is to always be in front of the showroom and helping new stylist find what they need, and so I said “I don’t care if you wear a T-shirt, just dress it up!” So she said “Well what do you mean?” So here we go…..girls who want to learn how to wear your fun, spring t-shirts that have been tucked away for a while in those winter days?? Well here you go! Some of the ways I love to dress up a T-shirt. Short and simple and now you can wear to the office and look like a fun, stylish, and successful employee.

Rules, How to dress it up:

Always pair with a skirt.When you want to have a definite go to, get a nice pencil skirt throw on a cardigan or blazer and your ready, hot, and look like something a bit more spicier for the office that day. No more old blouse with a boring expected, now you can turn heads and be more like yourself in your comfy tee.

Dress it up with a blouse. So I have been seeing this trend now for a couple of years…..but I must say I am a fan! I love how you can wear the t-shirt with the blouse underneath! All of a sudden you have now turned a t-shirt into an unexpected master piece for work or a fun lunch in meeting that you want to stand out for. I like to always pair mine with some fun wide leg pants either jeans or some trousers. Rule for me though…to keep it classy always stay with a dark wash wide leg if you go with jeans, and if it’s trouser your safe with anything. Color or pattern just wear with confidence.

Dress it up with Trousers: Go for some wide leg classic clean wide leg trousers or even pegged or rolled up with a sassy heel. Screams must have! Also you can wear with flats but if you do this make sure you wear some awesome accessories to go with.

Dress it up with the Jewels: 100% you want to dress up with accessories. Makes a boring old t-shirt make some serious sparkle. Dresses it right up enough said. Get yourself some fun statement piece necklaces. One of my faves….. SiraMara.com and colorbyamber.com. Either way your good to go. Now go shop!

Thanks for watching me every Tues. and thanks for following me on Facebook and my instagram under jenstyles. I heart all of you everyday. So grateful. Now go show off your T-shirts.

Vintage inspired Sunglasses: My most fave trend ever the 1990′s inspired sunglasses. I feel like these semi round glasses are making a big splash on the trend this spring. They come in many colors and you know I am a collector of sunglasses and because I have many children I don’t spend a ton on sunglasses so I go for the forever 21 fun colored sunglasses. Love these and to update your look easy and fast you can always get some new glasses for that pretty face of yours.

These clear sunglasses are the ones I featured on my ABC4 fashion segment today. They are a must love these and comes in three different colors. Buy here!

If you have a little hard mixed in with your pretty pearls you know you are a true style master. So try it you will be surprised on how much you may fall in love.

Even this studded light sweater I love! Studs are a must have and it comes in all forms for spring so shop away. Buy this here!

Neon belts: Neon belts are so perfect for spring. They are so fun and bright and are great for those who don’t like a ton of color all over but just a bit of a pop. Wear a fun skinny belt from Downeast. They have so many to choose from with such a great price. Must have for spring. Even wear two at the same time and make it your own.

Sock Trends: Socks have never been so in style ever! They have made a come back in a major way! I love to show my socks off! One of my most fave sock brands is Stance Socks! They are my best friends with my feet. Socks are supposed to be rocked on many levels but one new trend for spring is the sock sandal trend! Never thought I would say that again…but it just happened. So if you feel free and adventurous try these new looks out for a try!

Spring Scarfs: Pull out the light weight scarves and have some fun adding the latest new spring colors and patterns in such a fun chic way. Have fun tieing it up around your neck, using it for a swimsuit coverup, and as a head scarf as you hike or go boating. Scarves are a must have! You need to get creative with your scarves and really let yourself not get stuck in a dark bland color. Go bold with your scarf because that is what you should be styling around. Love these ones for spring time!

My go to spring scarf is polka dots just adds so much fun to your spring outfit. Love this one from Downeast Basics. Buy here!

Turq. is my fave all summer long:

Turq and pinks were all the rage on my show today. Love this necklace from SiraMara.com

Ok everyone that should wrap up some of my must have spring finds. You know I love it to get warmer….so now if I could get the snow to melt these items would just be key pieces in my wardrobe. When you want to stay on trend it’s easy and less expensive to save on buying some fun accessories each season to update your wardrobe. Happy shopping.

Cheers,

Socks Are In Style !

By jenclydestylist | November 27, 2012 | Segments | 4 Comments

The socks have always been the hidden accessory well no more! They have become more a fashion statement last couple of years and I welcome it fully. I am loving the little sense of style that the new fun sock designs are giving us lately. Even with men…I feel like they tell alot about a guy. When a man is in a suit and I get a pop of funkyness when his pant leg moves up a bit…I am like…oh, ok he has a bit of spice up his sleeve. Meaning he is stylish. So how do we wear the socks in the winter time? Let them add some fun to your winter wear this season. Here are some fun ideas.

Peek a Boo: I love this new trend you see below. It’s so fun. Show that cute design by a little peg roll of the skinny jeans with some high heels. You ask, “can I wear this with flats?” No! You cannot. Works with a boot heel and skinny jeans only. Stay away from flats and wide legs when trying this cute new trend.

Show Them Off: This is the most popular trend for past few years. Wearing them long and proud. Making them become a part of you outfit fully and loving it. You can do this with a long knee sock over your jeans or with a skirt. Either way they are fun when you pop them out the top of your boots. Stay away from wide leg jeans or to bulky of a sock or leg warmer. When they are too bulky they make your legs look wider. Here are some cute ways to do it.

it’s the little ankle sock! Love this look with your cute stilettos Some people think it looks to youthful or young but I think it’s fun if you can pull it off well. Looks best with a cute dress and skirt. You can get away with it if your wearing shorts but for winter it’s way cold. So if you wear it with a legging you get the same dress up look but still warm. Check out some fun looks below that I love.

So get your sock shopping on for christmas. Some of my fave sock stores are H&M and Target. They always have way fun socks. Great present for those guys too. Love it. Best stocking stuffer. So for all the info on my ABC4 Utah segment today please wait and I will be postin all the info where to buy after the show airs.

Thanks For Watching Today on ABC4 Here are the looks and where to go buy these socks!

Bright Yellow Socks: Forever 21

Polka Dot Socks: Forever 21

Long knitted socks: Free People.com

Purple Knitted Socks: Anthro.

Thanksgiving Style

Thanksgiving Style

Well the time has come again where you get to pack up and go to grandmas house. You are going to see your loved ones and many more. You want to show your best side on this special day and look amazing but at the same time be comfy right? We want our looks to be comfortable enough to take part in a impromptu game of touch football and curl up for an afternoon post pumpkin pie nap. Also we want to be able to eat that pie without feeling like we can’t breath in tight pants. So I have some tips on what to rock and stay cute and comfy this thanksgiving dinner.

Keep your look simple and family casual, while subtly highlighting a signature fall trend. Go for some cute comfy jeans or jeggings and a patterned sweater mix. That way your sweater is the one to be seen at the table and pick a color that highlights your face.
Go for a long maxi skirt or dress. I love this because it’s a bit more dressed up but at the same time you can lay down and still be covered you can fold your legs and play a game of cards on the floor and still be covered but it still will impress with style.
Pick a statement jewelry piece. I love this because you can dress up a t shirt and jeans with a statement piece that I am sure the whole table will be talking about.
Leggings are your bff. I love a long sweater look with leggings. That waist band will be able to stretch and you will be able to feel comfy no matter what. I always wear a legging on thanksgiving and they have never failed me yet.
Last but most important both fashionable and family and facebook approved. You know your family and grandma will be there telling you about what you should and should not be doing and you don’t want her to start talking about how short your skirt is at the thanksgiving dinner table. Dress like a lady.

For photos and information on my ABC4 show today It will be posted with pics later this afternoon after the show airs. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Enjoy your style and comfort.

How to wear the most stylish hats this season

By jenclydestylist | November 13, 2012 | Segments | 2 Comments

HOW TO WEAR THE MOST STYLISH HATS THIS SEASON

The hat is becoming a little more than just a practical item, it is a must have stylish, valuable fashion accessory which can either complete your look or help you stand out. For me it’s not only about standing out…it’s about combining warmth and style to make a amazing winter outfit. Some of my faves this season and advice on how and where to wear these styles.

Fur Hats: These are one of my top faves. I love this more in the neutral colors like real fur would look. I am not a lover of having real fur but I am not a hater of you wearing it either. I feel that it’s a personal choice like voting. We don’t judge you. So if you choose to wear the fur it’s super easy to wear. It’s more of a throw on and go type hat. They come in all sorts of shapes and styles but really this will not only keep you warm it will go with a dressed up outfit or dressed down. It’s like the white t shirt in your closet. Have fun with this one.

Cloche Hats: I love this because it’s a vintage inspired style of hat from the 1920s that bring a lovely sense of fashion with them. When you put these on your instantly updated with a fashion forward amazing look that is instant timeless and chic. Where to wear these…I love them for a work type style, or night out on the town outing. They give more of that dress up feel so it’s great to wear them this way.

Fedora hats

Fedora hats are probably the most versatile hats ever invented. First designed for men in the 19th century, now fedoras are unisex and can be worn with everything. They give that new trend of men’s wear looks a instant sex appeal. I love these because you look smart and stylish. One of my fave and comes in many different colors and styles but one of my fave just the black basic so classy and clean looking. Love this look dressed up or down either way this one you can rock at anytime of you day.

Slouched beanie: This is your slouched everyday hat that you want to wear out sledding with the kids and want to look cute. This is not one you want to wear going for a night out but more so to do your shopping in. When your out and about this is your number one hat that saves us from a bad hair day to a cold face! This one is a must have in many different types and colors. Cheaper and furry and sometimes comes with earflaps to add that extra warmth. Rock with your snow bunny outfits to your jeans.

Click on photos to go to the store to buy

Turbans: One that is a bit more edgy but I love it. Super fun and funky and keeps your head warm as well as looking super stylish! This hat is a great for a relaxed look and easy going day. Helps all of us who have bangs and don’t want to do them but not too much where you can’t wear it all day. This is one of my fave looks and you all need one.

Stay warm, Stay Stylish, and go buy some new hats. They are the perfect gift.

How To Make Your Cardigan A Statement Piece This Season

By jenclydestylist | October 30, 2012 | Segments | 1 Comment

Ok it’s winter time. Are arms need a extra layer of warmth so our outwear becomes more of a inner wear now through these next months coming up. So I have been asked how spice up the cardigan that we all own in our closets that we through on with everything …People tend to get a little board and want it to be the element that pulls the whole outfit together because we are most likely to not take it off in doors because of how cold it is. So here are some fun ideas to do to make your cardigan become your statement piece.

1. Add a fun collard top underneath the cardigan to add a funky collar trend going on plus a added sleeve element. Plus roll up the cardigan sleeve to your elbow then the blouse sleeve right underneath to bring a funky element.

Click on photos to go to link to buy

2. Add a double belt! Not just one but two…connect them together and then wrap it around the cardigan to add a pop color and a different texture.

3. Scarf it up! Ok something fun….is to add some prints and color by adding a scarf. I love a tube scarf right now and I think it warms you up plus it gives you a fun element to a boring scarf.

4. Layer up longer necklaces with shorter ones to add a funky element to make a boring scarf stand out. love this I always do this and really makes it more fun to wear.

5. Add a old broach from grandmas closet or a funky flower hair clip just to give it some extra strength in it’s design. Make it spicy for what ever type of event your off too.

So get inspired from the below looks and wait for the photos from my ABC4 morning show to come up and posted with wear to buy by 1:00pm. Get inspired and get warm.

Falling For Funky Fall Leggings

By jenclydestylist | October 23, 2012 | Segments | 7 Comments

FALLING FOR FALL LEGGINGS….

LEGGINGS 12.99 H&M (RECENT) TOP Gypsy05 (LAST SUMMER) AND SHOES TARGET (LAST FALL)

Leggings leggings and more leggings. What do I live in all Fall and Winter long? Leggings! This season it’s all about not just blk leggings but fun patterns and my fave….sweater leggings! They are my go to and yes all need them! They are super comfy and super cute. And I always love a way to feel cute, stylish, and comfy! You need to understand that leggings are not scary. You can get instant style and class it up with your big sweater, tunic, or t shirt that gives you a light layer on top. My show today was to give you some fun fall insperation on how you can wear your leggings this fall and where to buy the best ones!

Leggings rule #1- do not wear them as pants or jeans please!! Cover the bums unless your going to dance class or the gym! Honest there is nothing worst then seeing some that are trying to look stylish without a longer top! Not Cool!

Rule #2-If you don’t like your legs stick with black! Pattern are not your friend because they will bring attention to your legs and also pull apart way to large. Stay with one color and wear a longer tunic to your knees or right above! Will cut you in half and make you look a ton sleeker.

Rule #3- Perfect fit please do not go to to small otherwise we will see creeses that are not right and unwanted! Also don’t go to big because they will look like a distaster! Won’t look like leggings and will only bag and make you look bigger. So sizing is very important.

Rule#4- Play dress up or dress down! Stick with sleek black leather for a going out sexed up look and some funky cabin prints for a relaxed free people everyday look. Mix and match your textures and patterns to the day to the night. Don’t get confused with the prints make them your friends and pair them up with a bff top!

Rule #5- Wear when you want to eat a lot like Thankgiving and X Mass eve parties. They bring on the style and they comfort for all your holiday parties so stock up!

Now style up and watch my TV segment here and also after 1pm I will post pics of my looks and where I got them..happy fall here were the looks from todays legging fashion segment of mine.

Red & Blk Leggings are this amazing brand that has tummy control, crease control, and really made me loose 10 pounds and 10 years! Best money you will ever spend. The brand is called Lysse Fit and eliminates “The Roll” and is rad! This should be under everyone’s christmas tree this year. Flatters your belly and has a amazing fit. Use them at the gym or use them for a night out. They can be rocked the same way. Here is the link…

Pattern leggings are both from H&M and they are both recent. They are so comfy and the sweater ones are my fave to wear everyday and I feel that you all need them in your wardrobe.

Mad For Plaid This Fall

By jenclydestylist | October 16, 2012 | Segments | No comments

Shoes are from Forever 21/pants forever 21/t shirt wildfox couture/ flannel vintage/necklace modernvintageboutique.com/braclets colorbyamber.com

Fall is so fun for fashion and most of all finding ways to look chic and warm at the same time. This is where flannels come into play. They make us warm and they spice up any t-shirt, jeans, and leggings. Really this is a staple that must be in any closet and can’t be left out. I love to layer them and I love to just add a flannel on top of a dress instead of a cardigan. Just a different look but that is what makes them fun and easy to where. A must! Here are some fun and unique ways to rock your flannel this fall and winter! Get creative.

Flannels are not just for Grunge anymore…. DRESS THEM UP!

LAYER THEM UP…

THROW ON AND GO…THE SIMPLE CASUAL WAY

THIS STYLE IS THE ONE I ROCK WITH THE MOST. JUST OVER A T SHIRT AND GO! MUST HAVE FOR FALL…WARM UP THOSE TEES…

MORE PHOTOS TO COME FROM MY ABC4 SHOW LATER TODAY AT 1PM I WILL POST THE LIVE SEGMENT AND WHERE ALL THE OUTFITS ARE FROM! I WILL POST ALL THE OUTFITS ON THE BLOG AS WELL….

SO GO STAY WARM THIS FALL AND FALL IN LOVE WITH FLANNELS!
