Wide-legged pants vs. Palazzo pants

Wondering what's trending right now? Well, worry no more. I got you informed!

The palazzo pants have never looked this cool especially for an office look! Get your killer pigalle heels and boom! You look like a million bucks!! 

Wondering when to rock those nude heels in your shoe organizer? well, this particular outfit is just right. Simple yet elegant! 

You could spice up your wide-legged pants in two ways; You can either choose a low heel like the one above or go for a 6 inch heel! Flats will make the look too casual and not official. So at all times, save the flats for the skinny bottoms! 

Details matters in an outfit. And this, is among many other details you can have in your wide-legged pants.

Choosing the same color for the bottom and the top is classy. The outfit then looks like a jumpsuit yet it's a two piece. 

On that Playful Dress-code!

There is something about Friday, that feel good that the week has come to an end...and of course if you're lucky to have a flexible dress code at your work place, then you could just as well look glam with this outfits.

Want to look stylish and still have that boss look, well, you can never go wrong with a pencil skirt. Add some bold color and you good to go!

Polka is back and can be paired with the bright colored jeans in your closet. The look is smart casual, playful and very chic!

Turned up jeans have never looked so good with a boyfriend jacket. Rock this on a Friday and you'll be in that feel good mood all day long!

A playful tie and dye skirt has never looked this good especially one just above the knee.

One can never go wrong with monochrome colors. It's chic and classy.

Denim shirts on flare pants with an afro hair looks good if the shirt is fully tucked in. It's retro, yet very stylish.

Having that Friday date? well, this could be just the look....do away with your blazer and have this stunning look without having to try too much! 

"Always wear what you want to wear." That's the number one rule when it comes to fashion.

....From Work to Happy Hour!

Lately, the weather has become so unpredictable! And that means dressing up to the office too has become tricky...! Picture this, you have eight hours in the office, you're stuck in meetings from nine to noon, you have a presentation from two to four, then drinks at six and dinner at nine!! Clearly you don't have enough time to dash home, change and make it for all the other places after work.

Just to be on the safer side, from my perspective, put an evening spin on your professional wardrobe with these elegant, chic and classy tricks.

SHOW A LITTLE SKIN....

Turtlenecks underneath dresses always look so stylish! As you prepare to get to the office, wear the turtleneck underneath the dress, pair it with a pair of heels, and a simple tote bag for a day look. 

For an evening look, duck to the bathroom, and do away with the long sleeved turtleneck. Inside your tote bag, remove your clutch and spice up the look with a nude lippy. Leave your tote in the car and walk out with your clutch! I mean, a little skin sometimes is sexy!

TONAL ACCENTS

Ever heard of boyfriend jackets? Well, an over-sized boyfriend blazer gives a colorful dress a polished feel. For an evening look, opt for the statement earrings and the embellished flats.

LOSE THE BUTTON DOWN

The crop top can also be an office outfit if styled appropriately. For a day look, wear the button down blouse over the crop top from nine to five, then for an evening look, do away with the blouse. For a bolder and elegant look, use a bold lip color to spice up the look.

The Fash Plus She...

Ever heard of this, "Confidence will make you happier than any diet ever will?"

The plus size woman is sexy too. Choosing the right clothes to go with one's body is key.

SLACKS

Perfect fit for an office. Slacks always look good when paired with a slightly over-sized top.

STRAPLESS DRESS

Elegant for an outside office function. All you need to do is get a perfect fit blazer. Minimal jewelry will be just fine for this particular outfit.

GIRLFRIEND LOW JEANS

Friday look just got interesting! If you are lucky enough to have a flexible office outfit, then this could just spice up your look. It's so trendy and chic!

LACE KNIT SWEATER

Trying to hide out those curves? But still trying to dress the part? Well, this lace knit sweater could just be it!!

JERSEY TOP

Going to the office on a weekend? This sequined tank top is perfect for that Saturday look.

JERSEY DRESS

A tunic above the knee always look sexy....

BOAT NECK TUNIC DRESS

A loose fit tunic is just fine...pair it with some strappy heels and you good to go.

SHORT SLEEVED TOP

One can never go wrong with a pencil skirt...

V-NECK JUMPSUIT

V- jumpsuit is idea for a plus size woman reason being, if you have a bigger bust, the v neck tends to make the boobies look smaller.

SHAPING SKINNY JEANS

A shaping skinny jeans is a perfect outfit to show off your curves...if you really want to!

JERSEY TUNIC

SEQUINED SKIRT

A little shine won't hurt...go for this look when you want to look simple yet stand out.

WARM ME UP!!

Ever wondered why couples cuddle up? Okay, let me put it this way, ever wondered why people love to be held closely?? perfect example is the hugs we get...it could be from our spouses, children, friends, family....just to get close and feel the warmth! I would bet on this that almost everyone loves to feel warm, doesn't matter how you get your warmth but it sure is a relaxing feeling.

Well, lately the weather has been one of those! You leave your condo all glammed up heading to the office then boooooom! it starts pouring...to make matters worse, you'd dressed up like it's summer and now what's left to do? cursing and cursing....'ooh shit this weather! ooh shit my hair!' I mean who wouldn't curse if this happened and you had zero and I mean zero expectation of the change in weather?

Spice up your wardrobe with coats, cardigans, trench coats and all that can keep you warm and of course look stylish! You don't wanna look like you wearing your robes you know!

Natural white patterned coat with a belt is ideal for an official look. All you need to do is be creative, how to pair it. And especially how you make the tie, is key...it can make the coat look stylish or it can make you look very shady! 

Embroided creep coat, perfect if you want to make a statement. 

The detail in this jacket is the embroidery....it's chic and classy. It's the 60's, 70's look but remains classy!

The Crotchet knit coat looks elegant with a dress just below the coat. It elongates the legs and makes one look sexy without trying too much.

Texture woven coat worn with an above knee dress is just elegant!

Powder pink trench coat is playful and chic!

One can add a statement belt to the trench for a more sophisticated look. A pair of pegalle heels will not harm!
