From the office to the holiday party!

When I am at work and am anticipating an event I need to head to right after, I always get anxious. I am forever thinking about what to wear, going home and changing, and arriving unfashionably late! Just thinking about it is giving me the chills. So I say "Self! What if you could wear what your already wearing, but bring that little extra special something along with you to throw on before heading out the door!", genius ...I know.

So I came up with looks you can wear to the office, as well as your company's holiday party.

Tuxedo blazers with structured trousers.

If you commute to work you can bring the blazer on a hanger, and keep it in the coat closet until you are ready to head to your party, or keep it in your car, but this is such an easy way to spruce up an outfit.

As far as the trouser goes, wearing something that has a pattern or pop of color is just enough for work and play.

Shimmer

Poof! The glittery shimmery fairy just stopped by and sprinkled a magic touch into your closet that has your co workers  head's turning as you walk into that party.

Okay..no she didn't, but shimmer is always great for a holiday shindig. I find embellished skirts paired with a  motorcycle jacket are the perfect blend of sweet and sassy, or a blouse for an extreme feminine look.

Leather and Lace

If you're going to an open bar in NYC, or a nice sit down dinner,  you can wear leather and lace. A  lace dress with opaque tights and a leather jacket is one of favorite things to wear in a pinch. It is comfortable and cute enough to wear to work, but also dressy enough to wear out. I always keep a deep lipstick in my bag to make the look a bit more vampy. POW! We just packed a punch.

 You can accomplish all these looks without breaking the bank. At DoubleTake we pride ourselves on giving you the latest trends by top designers at the lowest prices. Let us see your holiday looks, possibly put together by one of our stylists, and tweet the look to @DoubleTakeCon #DTholidayattire

OVERALL we LOVE Spring Fashion!

I remember a time when overalls were really popular. The only way to look cool while wearing them was to have one of the straps clipped and the other hanging free, and if you wanted extra (non existing) fashion points a nice acid wash would do the trick!

Well they are coming back again, but don't worry, it's not the look from 1996 we loved remember. I have compiled ways to wear them for an everyday casual look, or a day at work!

 Just because you're wearing overalls, doesn't meant they HAVE to be denim. Switching up the fabrics allows a trendy look even at the office! 

Also keep an eye out this season for color! Color! Color!

New Year, New Look

It is time for a fresh start! Out with the old and in with the new! Onward into 2013 with a bright new outlook and a wardrobe to match it.


The "Little Black Dress" has many faces. It is sexy, classic, and versatile. It can be worn alone, or as you can see here paired with a cropped lace blazer. The silver accessories jazz it up a bit and make it fun and flirty. You will be turning heads with this look! (to the left DT BCBG Blazer $75, Rebecca Minkoff Dress $109.75)

  

Textures are HUGE this season, especially in brocade. A two piece is also an option and will be a hit this New Year! I paired this Gucci sweater with a sparkled collar to add a touch of texture and pizazz! (DT Mischen skirt $88 retail $310) (Gucci sweater DT $220)

If you really want to make a statement, go all the way...with a sparkly skirt that is! From work straight to a party, you can dress it up or dress it down, this skirt is ideal for the the new year. 

It adds an enchantment to this look that will have everyone mesmerized, or that might be the spiked egg nog? Either way you will be the life of the party!  I paired a simple white collared shirt with a muted colored cardigan. This ensemble is the perfect mixture of classic and fun!
