NEED A DRESS FOR AN UPCOMING HOLIDAY EVENT? CHECK OUT THIS HEAD TO TOE, ‘STUNNER’, I RECENTLY WORE TO A WEDDING! IT ALSO COMES IN RED!!! Fall Wedding Look of the Night
OUTERWEAR: I feel it is important to have different hem lengths, if you wear skirt and dresses. Also, different weights. I have this lighter weight one, here. It looks great over dresses and skirts, and takes me through a good portion of the seasons. I also have this one, here that is PERFECT for my Holiday – dressy looks. It gets bitter cold where I live. Heavy Wool coats area must!! Similar option in the perfect color for you: Nordstrom. Here is the perfect mid-length coat: Nordstrom. Here are the gloves that I have. I love them. I shared them in my Christmas Gift Guide, last year. Gloves make a PERFECT gift! Don’t compromise quality when it comes to gloves. Nordstrom.

10/21/2017Tracy – you make it all seem effortless . I realize it’s all in the planning. Love it! Especially at a busy and special time. How wonderful to know exactly what I’m going to wear – instead of pulling off a top or dress at the last minute and trying to get it together (with my hubby in the car waiting for me!!)
You are very articulate and I see why you must be a great coach. Thank you again – susan

10/22/2017Thank you Susan! I cannot say it is effortless! Staying on top, is key. I agree, so much less stressful and CONFUSING … when planning ahead! I feel I am always more put together when I plan ahead! Wishing you a GREAT week!!

10/22/2017HI Tracy,
I thought I was the only one that pre planned outfits! It’s nice to know I am not alone.
I usually just plan a week in advance but I’ve never done all the important events for a season before – I’m going to give it a try this year. The other difference is I take a pictures on my phone so I can see all the elements when I am getting dressed.
Thanks for your inspiration!
Adina

10/22/2017Hi Adina! You are definitely not alone. But, we are rare! I have done the photo method before. In fact, when I first was on Instagram, several years back … I used to post them every day! Enjoy your week!
