hi friends of every it's mel chief of


0:10

stores back in the fitting room with you


0:11

today after a little summer hiatus being


0:14

off of eetv but excited to show you some


0:17

new dresses and jumpsuits that we just


0:20

got in this past week so what i love


0:22

about dresses and jumpsuits is they're


0:24

such a fantastic transitional item so


0:27

right now i'm sure all of us are


0:28

thinking what are we buying and adding


0:30

to our closet that also is going to get


0:32

some longevity through the fall season i


0:34

think this dress by velvet would be a


0:36

perfect addition so this is called the


0:39

ray a dress i'll kind of stand back


0:41

longer dress again i'm about 5'7 for


0:43

reference this comes a few inches above


0:45

my ankle and i've got a little stacked


0:47

heel on with it


0:49

it's a nice lightweight cotton


0:51

fabrication


0:52

but it has a lot of volume on top that


0:55

is really fun and stunning so i i really


0:57

think with the right accessories i've


0:59

kind of dressed this up a bit i think


1:01

this could be a great event dress as


1:03

well


1:04

but also get a lot of use out of your


1:06

closet because you could throw it on


1:08

with a sandal and wear it very casually


1:09

too


1:10

so let's talk about shape first the


1:12

expression of fit on this is very


1:15

voluminous up top okay so i'm in a size


1:17

large which i normally take


1:19

and i really wanted to get that volume


1:22

play out of the top so you can see it's


1:24

gathered on the arm it's actually also


1:26

gathered at the waist i've just belted


1:29

it to even accentuate and create a waist


1:31

a little bit more for me because i'm


1:32

more of a rectangle and i carry those


1:34

curves kind of down in the lower half of


1:37

my body so belted it with this little


1:39

harriet isles croco belt just to define


1:42

the waist a little bit more and then


1:44

kind of you know let it kind of balloon


1:46

out off the top you see i keep putting


1:48

my hands in my pockets i love this dress


1:51

for the pockets again great little


1:53

casual feature


1:55

and then with the right accessories the


1:56

belt also the shoe i'm wearing this


1:59

little dolce vita pasco sandal i have


2:01

the black on but i really wanted to show


2:04

you this pretty pretty caramel color as


2:06

well i think you could go either way


2:08

with this dress


2:09

little croco across the slides stacked


2:12

heels super comfortable


2:14

easy to wear and then finally just a


2:16

little bit of jewelry right so i love a


2:19

little earring pack so i have on the


2:21

little drop earring and then you get two


2:23

more in the set this is the cleo pack


2:25

for 38 dollars you get all three pair


2:27

they're just fun little earrings and


2:30

then just layered on a little bracelet


2:32

stack this is the milani it's a coiled


2:35

gold with a little pop of kind of clear


2:38

beading with some black through it which


2:41

is a great finishing touch to this dress


2:43

so again velvet dress by raya


2:46

i'll get on the next one okay in a


2:48

jumpsuit by clea bella cleo bella is a


2:51

new brand for us and it's really a


2:53

personal favorite so i'm so excited to


2:54

introduce this jumpsuit to you um


2:57

because cleo bella has a bit of a boho


3:00

style vibe to it which is very much my


3:02

style


3:03

i am i don't have a lot of jumpsuits in


3:06

my closet i'll be honest and this one is


3:08

one i would love to add because most


3:10

jumpsuits are very fitted they're very


3:12

kind of utilitarian and style and this


3:15

is kind of a boho version of a jumpsuit


3:18

which i love so let me just talk about


3:20

the shape of it first of all so you've


3:22

got a lot of volume on the sleeve you


3:24

can see that eyelet detail there's


3:26

eyelet all throughout the jumpsuit


3:29

it's just lined through the middle so


3:31

it's very easy to wear


3:33

but beautiful detail volume on the


3:35

sleeve


3:36

belted here at the waist so you can kind


3:38

of create your own waistline where your


3:40

waist sits so then you get a little kind


3:42

of volume and play through the middle


3:44

yet it creates that nice waist fun


3:46

little pockets here for casual and then


3:49

you can see it's gathered down at the


3:51

bottom so


3:52

volume here the expression of fit is


3:54

definitely a lot of volume again


3:56

but a nice little gather at the bottom


3:59

let me hold this up in case this is hard


4:00

to see on video here's that eyelet


4:03

you can see the eyelet runs through


4:05

everything another great feature of cle


4:08

bella is it's mainly organic fabric so


4:11

this fabric is beautiful


4:13

also sustainable there's the gather at


4:16

the bottom


4:17

and then let me show you this little


4:18

belt little eyelet belt as well


4:21

so fun easy to wear


4:23

i have on this great little sandal this


4:26

is so fun going out date night maybe out


4:29

with girlfriends this is by vince camuto


4:32

it's the santa saddle excuse me santa


4:35

sandal


4:36

and look what they did for us on the


4:37

heel just added that little bit of a


4:40

flare on the heel which makes it so easy


4:43

and comfortable to wear


4:45

super little sexy straps on the top and


4:48

then accessories


4:49

super simple right because this is


4:51

eyelet head to toe you might not see it


4:52

on camera well but it is all kinds of um


4:56

stunning detail so little stack ring


4:58

this is the bella three little rings


5:00

here you buy in a stack together this is


5:02

the fae hoop super simple gold really


5:06

lightweight easy to wear


5:08

um but really really fun


5:11

okay final dress number three for you


5:14

if you want stunning and simple my


5:17

recommendation is this beige dress by


5:19

opt so this is a really nice fabrication


5:22

it's silky here it is definitely


5:25

something that would take you to a


5:26

dressy dinner or a dressy special


5:28

occasion it's fully lined underneath so


5:31

it's very very bra friendly easy to wear


5:34

kind of a baby doll style here it's got


5:36

two tiers after the bust line gathered


5:40

sleeve and then can you see that teal


5:42

probably the best thing about this dress


5:44

is the color it is the most rich


5:46

teal color


5:48

which makes it so stunning in this just


5:50

really simple silhouette


5:53

so what a great fall staple


5:55

i'm thinking out to dinner right now
