I love getting dressed up and feeling like my best self, but it actually only happens when the occasion calls for it. I'm vowing to try a bit harder to venture outside the black yoga pants and grey hoodie daily ensemble. I'm trying to avoid looking like the crazy-train for a quick jaunt to the market, and I'm thinking about daily alternatives to the ponytail/folded over ponytail/side braid, hair-do options.
Tailor and Stylist an online boutique, is graciously helping me with these efforts with a few of their lovely pieces, including this timeless Allessandra Wool Coat. Even if I do have a bit of slop going on underneath, this coat's ultra feminine Bateau neckline and whimsical large buttons instantly add a touch of old school glamor to my life.
I also really love their take on an invaluable wardrobe staple - the classic riding boot. Their equestrian-esque Audra Riding Boot offers an effortless and comfortable way to dress up many outfits.
Want in on the goods? Tailor and Stylist is giving away a $75 credit (which goes a long way with their modest pricing!) to one lucky reader. Enter to win in the Rafflecopter below and a winner (US only) will be selected next week.
