Our underwear often doesn’t take the front seat in fashion, but as we all know, there is nothing quite like a good bra. Or let me say it this way: we often forget about the comfortable bra (or undies), but remember distinctly when one doesn’t fit right. So in this third installment of the series I’m doing with Hanes, I thought it only appropriate to share how my Hanes’ ComfortFlex Fit bras without wires and the Hanes Cool Comfort Cotton Bikinis let me focus on the rest of life, specifically transitioning to fall. #becomfydent.  

4 Tips to Best Transition to Fall:

  1. Get the palette right: jeans, a trusty chunky knit, button up, turtleneck, etc. When you have the right basics, it’s all about mixing, matching and the right accessories.
  2. Stretch out summer by adding tights (Hanes are my favorite!) to summer dresses and sandals with fall favorites. 
  3. Keep wearing SPF! UVA Rays are as strong in January as they are in July. Use proper coverage to avoid fine lines and aging. Yikes!
  4. Start afresh. I get all new undergarments every couple of months or so. At the moment I’m loving the Hanes Cool Comfort Bikini with its light material and comfy cut. I also like the Hanes ComfortFlex Fit bra; it works great with sweaters for that “off-duty” look. 

With fall just around the corner be prepared with the right basics, an edited but functional closetprotected skin, and the right undergarments. Share how you best transition to fall by using the hashtag #becomfydent.

As a heads up, I’m partnering with Hanes for a couple months sharing how I, as a busy mom, wear comfy undergarments that keep me feeling confident. Read more at www.Hanes.com. Thank you Hanes for partnering on this post!

If you’re in search of one fall must have, it’s a suede jacket! This one has the perfect dark camel hue and a great fitting cut (I recommend sizing up). I love it paired with these sailor shorts from EXPRESS. And don’t forget booties or block heels. This outfit is the perfect transition outfit for those in the warmer climates experiencing an Indian summer but need a cozy covering for evenings.

shalice-168I also plan on wearing this suede jacket with a knit turtleneck sweater for our next trip to Big Bear. It’s so funny how excited us Chicagoans are to travel to the cold regions of California. The kids keep asking when we can see snow. I distinctly remember thinking bad thoughts about the minus nineteen-degree winter that came every winter in Chicago … and yet. (Read our full story HERE.) Fall chill is all about excitement and refreshing the wardrobe accordingly. I also linked (and pinned!) some EXPRESS favorites. Which are your favorite?

Happy Fall!

The really great thing about colder weather is all that lovely layering you get to do. And seeing as I’ve accumulated quite a few lovely scarves, shawls and kimonos, I have some great layering pieces. My very favorite trick to accessorizing a cold shoulder or off-the-shoulder dress or top is a scarf or shawl. If I were to name one, this lace and fringe number works every time. It provides a whimsical flair to an evening out, whether that be a quick stop for boba tea or dinner at Gjelina. Wherever you end up, you’ll feel chic and sophisticated. Quite honestly, this off-the-shoulder/shawl situation may become my fall go-to … it’s that good.

I’m having a major Tuesday Shoesday moment and I’m honored to share 7 DAYS, 7 LOOKS with Vince Camuto. I love how a boot or pump can take me from a creative meeting to date night with the hubby to school pick up. It was a fun challenge to pair 7 pairs of beautiful boots and pumps with easy (and wearable) pieces you may already have in your closet. That coveted laissez-faire look sometimes means a ruffle instead of a tee, a lace shawl over a tank, and lace-up leather boots for good measure. Thankfully, for you, I took the guessing out of what to wear, and linked all 7 outfits below. Now, it’s your turn, which look is your favorite?

What goes with everything and is a must-have for fall? Why, comfy black booties of course! These “Trinculo” Børn boots are not only comfortable (as in gel-cushion-comfy) but they look awesome with a sweater and cropped jeans. And as I transition to fall, I plan to wear them with bare legs for as long as the weather affords. A definite bonus is that I can get them on in 5 seconds when I’m running late to school drop-off. Winning.

I’m all about the simple #ootd. Let’s be honest, I struggle everyday to get four children out of the house for school, so I’ve been finding myself gravitating toward the simplest of pieces. Here, a shirtdress, faux leather leggings, and and edgy nude heels take center stage. It also happens to be just as appropriate for meetings as it is for date night. For the latter, I would add a suede jacket and lace up boot . After all, basics can very well be classics when paired well. As for the smiles from my little guy, I’d like to thank the dried mango and lollipops, not shown.

Maybe I liked it better than the hustle of Manhattan? One thing is true, whether I’m hustling in Manhattan or lounging in Brooklyn, I love a fresh take on stripe a la cold shoulder. The latter of which I will be wearing all fall. Happy Humpday!

I’ll admit I have a leopard problem right now. I’ve got leopard coming out of my ears in the form of pretty pointed flats, sexy coats and pencil skirts. However, the moment you touch this soft coat, you’ll find a similar obsession at hand. I cannot wait to dress it down with cropped denim and a thin sweater. Maybe even these boots? After all, I’m pretty sure leopard’s a neutral.

After a ruffle-white-clad summer, I’m all about donning the leopard and parading the bell sleeves. And did I mention, both pieces are under $50? Fall has me craving leopard styled with some of my favorite black pieces: black pumps and a classic mock neck. Furthermore, treat leopard like Kool-Aid – add lots of water (aka solid colors) if you want to play it down Jackie O. style. I prefer all black, denim or white! Last week, I had the privilege in between shows and meetings, a stop at the landmark Grand Central Station. It was a first for me and so iconic! The giant windows, the chandeliers and overall stunning room was breathtaking. One of the many reasons I love charming New York city, despite the humidity that killed my hair. True story.

Who doesn’t love a couple of Fall scores? I’m always searching for lace-up sweaters, durable (ahem, flattering) faux leather leggings, and lace up boots … all of which I’m wearing here. I’m always telling friends and followers that it doesn’t take lots of money to refresh your wardrobe if you invest in the basics. And this chunky knit goodness is under $50, leggings are under $100 and my (go-to) lip stain is $24. How’s that for Friday Faves?
