Being a member of Strong.Confident.Living. and a devout fitness fanatic at Pearl Street Fitness, I am honored to provide you with a few fashion tips for MakeOver Week. I love the tag line on the cover page of this Facebook Group: “It’s All In The Attitude”. Every one of us needs a little attitude adjustment on those days we may be feeling not so confident and a little insecure. Well, I have a remedy for your insecurity! Make a fashion statement!

When I throw on a killer pair of heels, they allow me two more inches of courage. When I squeeze into a kick-ass pair of skinny jeans, they give me two more ounces of confidence. I am here today to provide you with an easy, effortless outfit that will embody cool, chic, on-trend style.

All you need is 4-5 key pieces:

A Skinny Jean My go-to jean for Fall is one with a black-coated finish. It’s a little dressier and can transition you from day to evening quickly. A charcoal gray, black, or a dark rinse style are other great denim options. Current denim brands I love are Seven For All Mankind, Frame Denim, and Hudson. For less expensive options, visit TopShop (online or at Nordstrom), H&M, Zara, and Urban Outfitters. Check Out Styles: Here and Here
A Graphic or Solid Tee I love the rock ‘n roll vibe of a vintage concert tee. It adds a pop of color and a young, playful attitude to any outfit. (Pam & Gela, DayDreamer, Chaser, Spiritual Gangster, and Wildfox are hot labels). I find many of my VINTAGE tees at Buffalo Exchange. Check Out Styles: Here and Here
A Leather or Faux-Leather Moto-Style Jacket (A Military-Inspired Jacket or Bomber will also work). TopShop, Nordstrom, Free People, and the brand Blank NYC all have really cool, chic, inexpensive styles. Check Out Styles: Here and Here
A Canvas, Leather, or Suede Sneaker (for Day) in white or black. (Converse, Adidas, Puma, Golden Goose, and Ugg are brands I covet). Check Out Styles: Here and Here
A High-Heeled Ankle Bootie (for Evening) My go-to brands for a “BOOTIE CALL” are Rag&Bone, Fiorentini & Baker, Stuart Weitzman, or Vince. (Check out Aldo, DSW, or Nordstrom Rack for a lower price point shoe). Check Out Styles: Here and Here
