0:30

all right so starting off with this


0:33

little number that I love for those of


0:35

you that um get the ever you catalog


0:37

0:38

every catalog so I'm going to talk about


0:40

it a little bit uh in more detail


0:42

starting with these amazing pants okay


0:45

loving these pants these are by velvet


0:48

okay beautiful fabrication it's a little


0:50

bit thicker which you want for that fall


0:53

and winter okay her lines I mean can you


0:55

even really nice and fitted at the top


0:58

with a little bit of pleating and that


0:59

pleating creates a little bit more of a


1:01

wide leg on the bottom so it really


1:04

moves when you move and just gives you a


1:06

much more elevated feel now reminder I'm


1:09

five nine look how nice this hits with


1:10

heels like sometimes at five nine I


1:13

can't wear heels because my pants look


1:15

too short this is perfect for us tall


1:17

girls okay the shoes I paired these with


1:19

are Kenneth Cole by the way beautiful


1:21

little black suede your go-to honestly


1:24

your go-to so these pants and these


1:26

shoes super versatile for your parties


1:29

ahead especially your work party okay


1:31

um I paired this with this little rails


1:33

top


1:34

um she is like a silk fabrication she's


1:36

sleeveless she does have a little bit of


1:38

like a gathering right up here it's


1:40

almost like a little mock neck I would


1:42

say


1:43

um but really for those of you that have


1:44

a more bold shoulder this is actually


1:46

perfect it really show off those


1:48

shoulders show off those arms


1:50

um I tucked mine in just to give a


1:52

little more um hourglass shape give me a


1:55

little bit of a waist


1:57

um and you're ready you're ready to go I


1:59

did top mine off with some Jewels


2:01

because I just love jewelry these are by


2:03

Jenny bird this little stack of


2:05

bracelets here the stack comes together


2:07

they're sold together other one silver


2:09

one gold and then I just have some basic


2:12

little Hoops here that are again just a


2:15

staple because you know I like hoops now


2:17

you're looking at this going okay great


2:19

love a little sleeve this especially at


2:21

a party because parties you get warm


2:22

there's a lot of bodies with a small


2:23

amount of space you get warm really


2:25

quickly but what am I wearing over top


2:28

when I'm going from my car to the party


2:30

okay got a jacket for you that you're


2:33

gonna love ready this one's why blank


2:35

NYC look at her she's I would call her


2:38

like an elevated moto jacket to me


2:41

um that's just kind of the feel that it


2:42

has it's got nice beautiful little vegan


2:45

leather here some fun little zippers on


2:47

the side would love the detailing on


2:48

that


2:49

um get the hair out of the way here and


2:51

look at this


2:52

pop that collar I mean that is just


2:54

yummy beautiful little zippers on the


2:57

side that match your little zippers here


2:58

so you've got little pockets going on


3:00

she is kind of a two for one I'm going


3:04

to tell you because this comes out and


3:06

you can wear this separately I'm going


3:08

to show you that in the next look


3:09

um but she's perfect like how elevated


3:11

does she feel with this beautiful fur on


3:13

here um faux fur I should say and you


3:16

can certainly zip it if you want to have


3:18

a little more warmth to it you can zip


3:19

all the way up and it's really going to


3:22

protect you for those of us that live in


3:23

Minnesota keeping on track with what to


3:26

wear to your work party you're gonna


3:28

love this one I kept the pants because


3:30

like I said the pants this is going to


3:32

be your go-to you can wear this to any


3:34

elevated event that you have okay so


3:36

we're keeping the pants on again those


3:37

are by velvet


3:39

I mean issues make it my friend these


3:43

are by Sam Edelman you got a little


3:44

Shimmer right across and you have a


3:46

little Shimmer on your heel too so fun


3:48

okay speaking of Shimmer look at this


3:51

fun little it's it's a turtleneck but


3:54

let me tell you it is so elevated okay


3:56

usually think of a turtleneck as


3:58

something that you would layer under


3:59

things this girl's all about the show


4:01

like with all her Sparkle and all of her


4:03

Shimmer she's so fun she does have a


4:05

little ruching right here okay again


4:07

keeping it elevated it's not a full


4:10

turtleneck where it has to Cuff over


4:11

it's almost like a little bit of a mock


4:13

neck so that too keeps the lines very


4:15

clean


4:16

um love the fit on this this is true to


4:19

size so you do want it to be a little


4:21

body contouring a little hugging just to


4:23

show all your shapes okay now remember


4:26

that awesome jacket that I had on last


4:28

outfit and I shared with you that she's


4:31

got a little secret to her okay inside


4:33

the fur you can remove it and it's the


4:37

best


4:38

okay so I'm going to share that with you


4:40

here with this one little so a little


4:42

layering piece if you get a little


4:43

cooler okay or some of you it's not you


4:46

don't live in a climate where it is full


4:48

on 20 degrees below zero so you just


4:50

need a very simple piece to go over the


4:52

top not a big layer jacket this


4:54

okay love this again the color kind of


4:57

stands up naturally so I would just


4:58

leave it as that because I love that you


5:00

can open the lapel a little bit if you


5:02

want to but fun like right love it so


5:05

yummy so great so you could wear this


5:07

jacket first of all this jacket you get


5:10

really two pieces for under two hundred


5:13

dollars okay you can wear it four


5:15

different ways okay you can wear it the


5:16

original way that I showed you where the


5:18

jacket has the liner inside you can wear


5:21

it with the jacket alone you can wear


5:23

the best alone or get this you can wear


5:27

5:30
