THE DRESSING â—½ TIPS
The Something List
by Marcy Lytle
I realize that I like a lot of somethings in my closet. I enjoy warm yet cute styles, I love accessories, my feet have to feel good and look good, and scarves are a staple for sure. It’s that time of year when the weather might start to get frightful (I hope!) and having a closet with something that fits all the categories is so fun. Enjoy the hunt…
​
Something Dressy
This long shirt dress was on clearance at Madewell last year after Christmas, so I’ve been excited to wear it this year. I wore it over a fall blouse, and jeans, and it really dressed up the outfit. It’s a satin material and a rich navy color, both of which give a festive feel this season.
​
Something Corduroy
This cute jumpsuit is from Christy’s of Salado, where I found it on clearance. However, there are so many jumpsuits available everywhere, and if you can find one in a soft corduroy, go for it. I’ve loved this suit so much, and the fact that it just buttons makes it easy to pull up and down! It can also be dressed up or down, depending on the shirt under or the scarf over.
Something Comfy
This thick sweater coat was a find at one of the stores in the mall…I can’t recall which…maybe Lucky Brand! It’s THE BEST for wearing out and about on cold days, or for snuggling up with a good book to read by the fire. And I think it’s rather cute, as well. Looking forward to wearing this on repeat.
Something Warm
I found this coat and scarf on vacation. Yes, it was hard to fit in my suitcase and bring home, but I love it. I love the neutral grayish hue, and I love the blues and grays in the knit scarf. The coat is super warm, so I hope you find one you love to keep you warm this winter season ahead…
Something Cozy
Look at these shoes! They’re Sherpa lined, and they’re from Walmart. I think I paid $15 for them and I wear them a lot! They look cute with jeans, and they’re great for wearing to the movies or out shopping, or wherever you go and need to keep your feet warm and feeling good.
Something Plaid
This scarf was on sale at Old Navy half-off when I bought it. And I have worn it and worn it so much, this fall. And I expect to wear it a lot this winter BECAUSE it’s so big and so soft, and the colors go with a lot. You’ll notice I wore it with the jumpsuit above, too!
Something Gold
Nothing dresses up an outfit like a gold sparkle – and this purse is mine! I found it at a festival and you can find one too – so many choices – from Marshalls to Amazon. Add it to any outfit, put on your heels and enjoy the season?
One thing this season to remind you is that the clearance aisle or rack can be your friend, for sure! I stop there first, before browsing the rest of the store.
And if you’re not shopping back in the stores still, visit them. Visit stores you might never have visited before – enjoy the hunt for the somethings to add to your closet this December!
