00:00 [Music] 00:07 hi every family it's mel chief of stores 00:10 for every i am back in the fitting room 00:11 with you today i am in illinois oak 00:14 brook mall our new oakbrook location 00:16 these are beautiful dressing rooms um 00:19 and it is a balmy four degrees outside 00:22 uh so i am going to talk to you a little 00:24 bit today about transitional dressing 00:26 this is just one of the hardest times of 00:28 the year especially for those of us that 00:30 live in the midwest for what the heck 00:32 are we going to wear 00:33 so today i'm going to talk to you about 00:34 denim and some basic tees to layer into 00:37 your wardrobe that you can kind of layer 00:39 up whether that is a jacket you know 00:41 inside or just a big bomber coat as you 00:44 go outside but just some easy peasy 00:46 pieces to put together so i want to talk 00:48 to you today about a gold e jeans if you 00:50 are in need of a jean 00:52 refresh i actually am kind of feeling 00:54 like that myself right now and you want 00:56 to add a nice straight leg jean to your 00:59 wardrobe i highly recommend a golde a 01:02 goldie premium denim at a really 01:04 accessible price point um and i love the 01:07 fit and especially if you are a curvy 01:09 gal 01:11 this is a pair i want you to think about 01:12 so this is the nico this is the neko mid 01:15 rise and the reason i want to show you 01:17 this one i'm going to show you a 01:18 mid-rise i'm going to show you a 01:19 high-rise i really this is my favorite 01:21 mid-rise that we have in the store right 01:23 now 01:24 and it's also got a lot of stretch to it 01:27 so a lot of straight leg jeans are 01:29 pretty firm these days and this one has 01:31 great stretch which i think is good for 01:33 any body type especially for curvy gals 01:36 this is a good one for you it still is 01:38 an ankle but i'm hearing a lot 01:40 especially if you live in the midwest 01:41 that we're worried about our ankles 01:42 right now and this one's quite long i'm 01:45 5'7 and you can see with this little 01:47 sneaker i'll tell you about later 01:49 it's skimming right at the top of my 01:50 sneaker so if you're wanting something a 01:52 smidge longer this is a great one for 01:55 you 01:56 no deconstruction 01:57 there is a raw hem let me like kick it 01:59 up for you here a little bit there's a 02:01 raw hem but there's no deconstruction 02:03 throughout the top so again if you're 02:05 worried about chilly knees right now you 02:06 don't have to worry about that and then 02:08 the color is great this is i think going 02:10 to pick up a little harder on video but 02:12 it's a washed black the color code when 02:14 you look it up if you're shopping online 02:16 or looking in a store is feral 02:18 it's just a washed out black but just 02:21 love these love these so much stretch 02:23 and then you know pair it back to a 02:24 simple tee i think 02:26 my thought about jan feb is keep it 02:28 simple and so this is our bobby split 02:31 neck tee we've carried bobby t's for a 02:33 long time but i love this one it's got 02:35 kind of a long little 02:37 wrist sleeve here 02:39 no real puff but it does have a drop 02:41 sleeve goes down past your shoulder 02:43 again that little split and then what i 02:45 love about this for this time of year is 02:47 this little banded top you don't have to 02:49 do anything fancy no front tucks nothing 02:51 fancy but it's got great coverage 02:53 all the way around and then this one on 02:56 the color on this is outcast so you've 02:58 got kind of a washed out gray with your 03:00 washed out black and then for 03:01 accessories 03:03 not only do i think a great little 03:05 sneaker 03:06 but if you're out running around you can 03:08 layer this over 03:10 this or over your coat but you know i 03:12 love these little think royal and bum 03:14 bags so we still have these in stock 03:17 great little easy i throw mine in the 03:19 wash 03:20 i wore the heck out of it through summer 03:21 so i throw it in the wash and it just 03:23 washes up beautifully 03:25 adjustable straps so i've got on just 03:27 kind of a high cross body you can adjust 03:29 that you can wear it to a lower cross 03:31 body or there's actually another small 03:33 strap and you can wear it truly right 03:36 around your waist so a lot of options 03:37 with this bag i love it great little 03:39 front pocket for your cell phone 03:41 i've just been so happy with mine i now 03:43 have 03:44 three 03:45 i do i have three okay other accessories 03:48 love these p448 new sneakers this is the 03:51 fiat 03:52 and thea is super clean white a little 03:55 bit of gray on the top here black banded 03:58 bottom 03:59 and just super clean and easy but what i 04:01 love about her right now she's got a 04:03 little bit of a 04:04 platform bottom to this so it's super 04:07 comfortable but it also gives you a 04:09 little bit of height so not quite into a 04:11 high top sneaker but you've still got 04:13 that little elevation kind of covering 04:15 up the ankles and then super super easy 04:17 accessories i don't know about you but 04:19 jam fab makes me think about getting 04:20 back into my silver so this is a little 04:23 bralea chain necklace that we have super 04:25 simple and easy 04:27 and then this little earring is just a 04:29 little midi hoop and it's part of an 04:31 earring pack called the logan and i love 04:34 showing you these because they're such a 04:36 bargain for 38 04:38 you get the little midi hoop that i have 04:39 on in the middle do you want to go a 04:41 little fancier you got a little drop 04:43 there chain and then just a nice little 04:45 stud if you want something simple or if 04:47 you have a double piercing you could do 04:49 a little layering with that stud 38 04:51 dollars i love these so there you go 04:54 mid-rise a goldie the me go let me 04:56 change outfits i'll get in the high rise 04:58 and talk to you about that okay more 04:59 knits more jeans all right let's start 05:01 with these jeans 05:03 hey goldie love you love you for the 05:05 curvy gal okay so i showed you the nico 05:08 that was a mid-rise this is the riley 05:10 she is a high rise okay so that mid came 05:13 about an inch below my belly button this 05:15 high rise comes kind of right at my 05:17 belly button i know some of you are die 05:19 hard mid-rise and i get it but i tell 05:21 you going from my mid and then putting 05:23 my high rise back on i don't know these 05:25 just love me in all the right places i 05:26 feel all hugged in and it feels real 05:29 real good so again the difference this 05:31 is a high rise um obviously the wash 05:33 this is going back to a really 05:35 traditional kind of medium wash it's 05:37 coded is i think called shiver 05:39 when you look that up online and so just 05:41 super traditional again no 05:42 deconstruction not even a raw hem i've 05:45 got a little high top sneaker on so i 05:47 did a little 05:48 kind of messy cuff there at the bottom 05:51 it is an ankle but again it runs pretty 05:53 long and so with this one i put it on 05:56 with a high top sneaker again so if you 05:58 are in cold weather that's my 06:00 recommendation you know don't stray away 06:02 from your ankles just get them a little 06:04 bit smidge longer and wear them back to 06:07 a little bit of a high top or a booty 06:09 something that covers the ankle and 06:10
