Today's Everyday Fashion: The Style Seminar



Not only did I save this Banana Republic inspiration photo, but I also went out and bought the same shirt (total copycat). I wore the first version for my style seminar at the Grand Forks Women's Show last weekend, the jacket was for extra warmth, and I'm also showing a more casual untucked version with boots on the right. Below you will see my outfit in action, along with Dawn and Shyla's adorable outfits - you'll notice we had a mustard theme going! How would you wear it?

  1. I love this!!  So autumnal :)  My favorite is the first look.  I'm a sucker for a belt over a cardigan.

  4. All of these looks are great!  I am having a love affair with mustard yellow and finally completed my collection with a pair of mustard yellow skinnies.  It's going to be fun styling them. Heather

  13. J, out of curiosity, how many cardigans do you own?

     I keep buying them out of inspiration to your outfits.  :) I almost think you can't ever have too many colors of them and since they're classics, who's counting, right?

    Thanks for your site! Steph in MN

  18. I LOVE this outfit.  It's one of my favorites.  I'd wear the entire thing!

  19. Love the pumps, you look gorgeous!!!

  20. Great format! I LOVE how you featured 3 looks from one basic outfit, especially the shoe options.  While I LOVE the look of heels, they aren't always practical in my work setting, so I love when you also show how you could wear the same outfit with a boot and/or flat.  thanks for all you do to keep us inspired!

  21. This is great information. I have found this to be some great insights and helpful tips. I also found http://dressingyourtruth.com/ online that had some really good suggestions and ideas.

  22. I love them all, especially the last one! :) Super cute and super fall-y!

  23. I personally like the last version. I don't know why, but the tie shirt with the button up cardi looks strange to me. I like it open. But great color combo!

  25. J your makeup has been looking really great lately - have you started using new products?

  26. I've been keeping my eye on the Grifter boot for awhile. Any idea why it's way more expensive now than the $150 you posted with the link? It's listed as $179 on their website and I swear an hour ago it said $175.

  27. Thank you! Same products I've been using for years, probably just the lighting. ;-)

  28. Melissa, I got the boots last fall and they were listed as $150 then. It looks like they must've raised the price but I'm not sure when that happened!

  29. Absolutely gorgeous. Love your stying. I actually think you have styled it better than BR ;-) I love the boots too, but think I may be biased, as that's all we can wear the 6 winter months in Denmark ;-)

  30. I love, love the first outfit.  I think it is classy.  I could even wear something similiar to teach.

  31. These are great styling options. I love the first look the best, although I know I would not look great if I wore this look.  My body would look best in the third look with the blouse half-tucked and paired with the pumps in the first look.
