Madewell Plaid Dress

Fall fashion in NYC

When I tried this plaid dress on at Madewell, I was sad that it wasn’t as flattering as I hoped. But, all I had to do was add a belt and it was transformed! Lauren and I shot these photos on an unseasonably warm fall day in Central Park. Now that it’s actually cold, I would add a pair of tights and a cardigan to this outfit.

Speaking of Madewell, I’m excited to be hosting my second shopping event at the Upper East Side store this Sunday. They have such a great selection, and a wide variety of sizes. This store also has an entire table of curvy jeans! If you’re in town, I hope you’ll join me! I’ll be there from 1-3 pm, and I would love to help you find the perfect outfits for Thanksgiving and the holidays. You’ll get an exclusive discount too, and I really appreciate your support.

In other news, I started putting together some holiday content for you. Check out this page for holiday outfit inspiration, and gift ideas for him, her and the kids. I don’t think I’ll be putting together full gift guides this year, but I plan to add to that page regularly, so keep checking back.
