What to Wear: Cattle Show

The cattle show season is quickly coming up, with the first fall show of the season happening this weekend!

With cold, drafty barns you have to be prepared to go from being bundled up to going out with your friends for a few drinks in "The Swamp" at a moments notice. I think this outfit would work just perfect for those days!

With the MET Ball tomorrow I thought that I would put together a couple of outfits that I would have wore to the Ball if I was going tomorrow. 

All items are from Alexander McQueen. Nothing is to crazy or outrageous for this event!

What to Wear: Running Errands

Lets face it running errands are not always the funnest job. It usually consumes a perfectly good afternoon on the weekend, or stopping to do some on the way home from work.

Just because errands are not fun, does not mean we cannot look fabulous doing them! This does not mean you have to be wearing your Sunday best, and no comfort does not have to be compromised.

A few things to keep in mind when putting your outfit together:

• Comfort is priority
• Flats or nice runners are a must, makes things much easier and faster
• Bring a well organized purse with a little bit of storage. Will make not losing your lists easier!
• Dress in layers. Bring a jacket along, but depending where you are going, it might be better off left in the car for the day.

What to Wear: A Night out in Vegas

Since I am in Vegas, I figured it would be the perfect opportunity to feature an outfit ready for a night out on the town!

Vegas style is in a category of its own. While it is wild and outrageous, it is still important to not cross the trashy line. From my experience these are important things to keep in mind when planning an outfit.

• Show either your legs or boobs, not both. Showing both makes an outfit go from fun and flirty to trashy and desperate
• Leave the big bags at home. Switch your bag for a small clutch. Cash, ID, phone, hotel key, and a camera is all you need.
• Wear comfortable shoes. Your feet will hurt while in Vegas from all the walking. Find some fabulous but comfy shoes for your big night out.
• Add a little bling and sparkle! You are in Vegas after all...

What to Wear: Jetsetter

Right about now I am stepping onto a plane to head to Las Vegas. One of my pet peeves is people who wear the grosses, ugliest clothes when flying. Just because you are on a plane does not mean that you cannot look great!

Now I understand that on 10+ hour flights comfort is key. For these type flights I encourage dressing in layers. Start with a light weight shirt, a sweater or cardigan, and possibly a light jacket. A larger bag is also important as it gives you more space for carry on items.

For shorter flights, this is where style really should not be sacrificed. A few key things for me is still dressing in layers. This is especially important when traveling to a destination where the temperature is different from where you are coming from. I am also careful of how much metal I have on. Nothing is worse then being late for a flight and having to stop and do the metal wand.

This is a great outfit that I would love to wear on the plane. Looks great in the airport, and you are ready to do anything soon as you get out of the airport.

What to Wear: Valentine's Day with the Girls

Valentine's Day is one of those holidays you either love or hate. When you are in a relationship you love it, and when you are single it is a day that women hate!

This year if you are single, or your man is out of town, why not celebrate anyways! There is no reason that you cannot still go and have fun just like everyone else.

For this look, we went for a mix of comfortable, but still looking great. You never know when you will run into Mr Right!

What to Wear: First Date

The next step in What to Wear is the classic first date. You are excited, nervous, spend days trying to find just the right look. I have put a few tips below as well as an outfit that I definetly would be seen in.

First Date Dressing Tips

• Don't buy a new outfit. 1. How do you know he is worth it yet
• You feel more comfortable in your old favorite clothes. Another reason not to buy a new outfit
• Dress practical. You dont always know what you will be doing. A mini skirt may be cute, but at the bowling ally not that practical...
• Keep away from bold colors. He should be paying attention to you not your shirt
• Not show everything on the first date. A body skimming shirt would be great, but don't show all of the girls off the bat.

I love this outfit for a few reasons. It is practical, low key, but dressy enough for a few different situations. It would look great for a casual dinner, drinks, a movie, or even bowling...

What to Wear: Job Interview

I am starting a new segment on the blog called What to Wear. This segment is inspired by a book that my sister gave me for Christmas. I started reading it last night and thought that I could put a great spin on the chapters to share will all of you!

The book breaks down different daily situations, and how you should dress for them. The first chapter is all about how to dress for a job interview!

The main points that I picked out are:

• Look professional and put together
• Dress appropriate for the job.
• It is great to wear a watch. This shows that you are on time
• Color is ok. Don't always just wear a boring black suit
• Leave your giant monogrammed purses at home. No one likes a show off, and are you really going to need everything in that giant purse?
• Leave the open toe shoes at home. In most work places open toe shoes are a safety hazard and are frowned upon.

This is the outfit that I came up with. I think that it is a fun approach to a tailored black suit.
