Good Morning readers and Merry Christmas! I hope Santa treated you well this year, but don’t forget the real meaning of Christmas.  Even though we’re expecting some severe weather, just remember to enjoy  yourself and all of the time you get to spend with your friends and family because that’s what matters the most.  Although, I do still hope Santa treated you well, and I can’t wait to feature all of my new little goodies on Haute Off The Rack.

As far as my outfit, this is just a little something I borrowed from “his” closet.  The over-sized button down flannel shirt is from the mens’ section in Target.  I paired it with my white velvet AG leggings to tone down the ruggedness of the shirt and boots, and I added the white beret for an urban look.  For jewelry, I stacked on a few bracelets and layered on some simple necklaces for a nice feminine touch.  What do you think?  Would you rock your man’s shirt?

Have a wonderful Christmas everyone!

Good Morning readers, I hope you’ve all been enjoying my Black, White & Gold outfit posts this week.  Which outfit has been your favorite so far?  I have to tell you that when I first saw this dress at a local clothing boutique I thought it was so beautifully detailed and probably way out of my price range. I’m sure you could imagine my excitement and surprise when I glanced at the tag and saw that it was only $79!  I was even more excited when my boyfriend gave it to me as an early Christmas present so that I’d be able to wear on Christmas Eve.  How appropriate?  I am especially in love with the baroque style detail on the shoulders and the gold embroidery around the waist.  I may even wear it with my new Crystal Knot Necklace by Dotted Tusk.  What are you wearing on Christmas Eve? Oh, speaking of the Crystal Knot necklace, I’m telling y’all, you do not want to miss out on this exclusive Dotted Tusk Giveaway.  This necklace is a limited edition piece and only specially made to order.

Outfit: Metallic Pinstripe Blouse (Love),Black Dress Shorts (Urban Outfitters old but similar (here) <–SALE alert, Loafered-heels (Dee Keller—sold out online) Ivanka Trump Laser Cut Clutch (Thank you to Femme Fatale)

Jewelry: Gold Bangle (Jewelry Nut Auctions), Stainless Steel Two-Tone Watch (Michael Kors),Pave Link Bracelet (J. Crew), Natural Stone Ring (Frock Candy)

Good Morning readers, what are your thoughts on black, white and gold outfit number three this week?  I’m thinking that this menswear-inspired look just might be my favorite! From the metallic pinstripe blouse down to the loafered-heels, there are just so many elements to this outfit that make it look amazing.  I think the white oversized blazer pulls the whole together and the metallic, laser cut clutch is the perfect finishing touch.  I actually wore this to a Christmas party on Monday night, and got so many compliments. I really love pairing black, white and gold together.  It’s the most polished and sophisticated color combo for the holidays.

On another note, I would just like to thank Casey Scheib and Kristen Soileau for doing such an excellent job lately.  Are they not amazing photographers?  They work so hard to give my readers the best quality pictures, and my blog wouldn’t be half as great without them.  Thank you ladies!

Good Morning readers, how precious is this J’adore Nola tee by The Elizabeth Chronicles?  It’s such a cute, simple tee that looks adorable tucked into skirts and dress shorts.  Plus it represents New Orleans, Louisiana, which is close to where I live.  I recently met with Rachel Adams and Katie Dumestre of The Elizabeth Chronicles for style collaboration on Haute Off The Rack, and we had a blast shooting their new tee collection together.  You’ll be seeing those photos soon. However,  if you’re already loving what you see and you live in the New Orleans area, you should stop by their trunk show at Angelique Shoe on 5421 Magazine St. this Saturday to scoop up a few last minute Christmas presents!
