Good Morning readers, I know you are all anxiously waiting to find out the winner of the Gigi New York Clutch Giveaway.  I promise that I will announce the winner by tonight.  So make sure to check back later this evening to see the name of the winner on this post!  Or Follow me on Instagram @HauteOffTheRack where I will also be announcing the winner.

As for this outfit, one of my favorite things to wear is my Mother Denim jeans with a white blouse and some colorful jewelry and accessories. It’s such an easy go-to outfit, and I swear I could live in my Mother Denim Curfew Bell Jeans.  I have never come a across a pair of jeans that is both as flattering and comfortable as the The Curfew Bell.

 Let me just say that when it comes to denim, Mother knows best.  No, I’m not talking about my own mother I’m talking about designers Tim Kaeding, former designer for 7 for All Mankind, and Lela Tillem, former president of sales and marketing at Citizens for Humanity who collaborated together to create this killer brand.  These are the most amazingly comfortable, yet flattering pair of jeans I have ever worn!  That is probably because Tim Kaeding has been experimenting with materials that feel like cashmere, but look like denim for the past two years.  What a genius! Right? I don’t know about you all, but some mornings I wake up and want to wear nothing more than a pair of comfy yoga pants.  Kaeding has acknowledged this and says that in order “for jeans to make a comeback, technology has to step in” (http://www.vogue.com).  That explains why it doesn’t even feel like I’m wearing real jeans.  However, Mother doesn’t just pride on texture, the designer duo continually develop new fits. If you’re interested in learning more about Mother Denim, check out this awesome interview on Denimology.

Good Morning readers!  I’m really excited for today because today is the day of my first fashion segment on WBRZ.  So if you want to see some more Valentine’s Day style inspiration,  make sure to tune into Haute Off The Rack’s fashion segment today at 4 pm on WBRZ (on channel 2, channel 5 on Cox cable and 124).  This segment will be helpful for those of you who are stressing over what to wear on Valentine’s day without breaking your budget.  You can toss your worries out the window because I am here to help you look and feel your best by maximizing your outfit options and molding what you already own into the perfect romantic outfit.

During my fashion segment with WBRZ you will get to see four different Valentine’s Day outfits including with pieces you may already have in your closet.  Also, I made sure to cover a variety of different styles by visiting with three women just like you who each have a unique sense of style.  At each woman’s home, I searched through her closet and together we came up with the perfect Valentine’s look to best suit her personal style.

 Oh and about this dress…..It’s amazing.  Need I say more?  Just kidding!  There are actually quite a few words I can use to describe this look- sassy, flirty, playful, fun, bold, eye-catching, refreshing, bright, chic, classy, feminine.  I’ll stop there.  Basically, what I’m saying is that you just might need to add this dress to your wardrobe.   The style and cut of this dress is universally flattering to almost every woman’s figure because it accents the smallest part of your waist and flairs outward making your legs appear longer and leaner.  It’s perfect for anyone who wants to conceal their fuller hips or thighs.

P.S. You can also watch the segment online at www.wbrz.comI will make sure to share it on Haute Off The Rack’s Facebook page.

Outfit: Navy Polkadot Dress (Urban Outfitters similar (here), Red Uber Clucth c/o (Thanks to Gigi New York), Shanghai Express lipstick (Nars), Nude Pumps (Boutique 9) <– SALE alert!

Good Morning readers, here is some more Valentine’s Day style inspiration for you.  This outfit is perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to wear a lot of pink or red on Valentine’s Day, but still wants to rock a fun and flirty look.  I mean can you get any more cute and fun than polkadots?  I think not.  For my shoes, I chose to go with nude pointy toe pumps to keep the look sweet and simple since I was pairing it with a bold red clutch and plenty of wrist candy. I also made sure to apply red lipstick and paint my nails red to add a little Valentine’s holiday flair.

P.S. Below is a closeup of the Brighthouse Baubles Silk Knot & Shine Bracelets.

Oh and Happy Mardi Gras Y’all!  I hope you have the day and get to “do whatcha wanna!”

Good Morning readers, I hope you’re having a great week and yes I stole the title from one of my all time favorite movies, Mean Girls.  Really though, that movie never gets old to me.  “Two for you Glen Co Co! You go Glen Co Co! And none for Gretchen Weiners.” That’s one of my top five favorite quotes from the Mean Girls. What’s in your top five?

About the outfit, I know it’s a little cold outside to be wearing this hot pink sleeveless top, but I’ ready for bright colors to come back.  Besides, you could easily throw on a tan leather jacket or blazer with this outfit and get away with wearing it in this chilly weather.  My favorite part about this top is the high-low hem with the slit that runs down the sides.  It’s perfect for showing off  your high-waisted bottoms. If you love the white druzy necklace, make sure to enter the giveaway!  By the way, I noticed that my “pin it” hover button is no longer working so if you’re having problems pinning the photos to enter the giveaway.
