I hope you’re writing this down.

A tailored, ladylike dress. The great thing about a tailored dress … You know it’s going to be in your closet for years to come. So, invest in a good one that looks really, really good on.

An amazing statement boot or bootie. Whether the boot is ankle length, mid-calf, or over-the-knee … has studs, fringe, is scrunchy or slightly pointed, it’s this season’s must-have footwear.

Plaid anything. Plaid shirt, plaid sport coat, plaid dress, or suit… From clothes to accessories, the checkered pattern commands attention.

Massive necklaces. Get something really big, bold and inventive. Colored stones and big architectural pieces are hot. It will just pep up anything you already have in your closet – even a classic white shirt.

Store your hobo. Sniff. The “It” bag of the day is a fringed purse. And for night, a hard shelled clutch defines nighttime glamour.

Got it? Good. Now, go get it.

Kadi.

I dig the jewelry, the belt and top. Not so much the bottom half.

I do like leggings and ballet flats. There, I said it. They’re part of the most comfortable and practical fashion trend for quite some time. And an amazing substitute for pants.

The spanx leggings are awesome. Great tummy tucks. They suck it all in way better than you can do all day.

I also love that non-anorexic hipsters, like Ashanti, wear them with short tops and don’t give a damn who’s scanning the boo-tay. Ugh, men.

Check Cassie’s leggings look.

Hmm. She might need some butt coverage.

Curious outfit, but the hair looks shiny and healthy.

Will leggings ever die, already?

Kadi.
