There is something about stripes that conveys power and strength. A perfectly striped blazer or bold striped dress is a great go-to killer work outfit that is anything but boring. This week’s Street Style features two totally different ways to wear stripes, along with bold accessories from no-one other than Halcyon Artistry!

Street Style: Sparkle & Snow

December 18, 201311 Comments

It looks like it going to be a White Christmas in Connecticut. As Street Style fashionistas, we are bringing on the sparkle and winter boots. Last night, Jen and myself were lucky enough to score tickets to John Mayer’s concert at the Webster Bank Arena (in Bridgeport, CT where John Mayer was born!) & it was so amazing because John Mayer was raised in Fairfield, Connecticut and he was totally feeling his roots. It definitely showed through his heart-felt performance.
It was a cold night and I opted for a not-too-warm festive top with some booties and black leggings (these pictures are pre-jacket!). Jen was a bit more bundled up an adorable hat & scarf.

Are you like me and love sequins and sparkle this time of year? What is your favorite winter accessory?

Sometimes I have those days where I am having a crazy day at work and am counting down for my evening plans such as grabbing dinner with a friend, heading to a concert, or even just happy hour. If I have time, I love to get out of my work clothes and put on something a little more night-time appropriate but if you have a quick 10 minutes, you can change up an entire look. This week’s #StreetStyle post is all about transitioning your work attire to your play attire in less than 10 minutes.
