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, here is another winter clearance outfit for you featuring my favorite pair of baroque-printed jeans! For those of you who have been afraid to try printed pants, now is the perfect time to give it a go! Since most clothing stores have already started receiving their resort and/or spring shipments, they’ve put all of their winter wear on sale.  It’s like they’re giving you a second chance to try out all the trends you’ve wanted to try, but couldn’t afford at the start of the season.  It also gives you a chance to stock up on classic, staple pieces like cashmere, pants and outerwear for next winter.

Now, as for styling printed pants, if you’ve been wanting to your take yours out for spin, but haven’t quite figured out how to style them, just throw on an oversized sweater and your good to go. I would stick with neutral color sweaters since you’ll have so much going on down below. Oh and don’t forget to accessorize!

P.S. For those of you who live in the area, I hope this little bit of sunlight brightens up this dreary, rainy day!

Good Morning readers!  As some of you may already know, burgundy is this fall’s must-have color!  This opulent rich hue looks stunning in lizard, leather, and pony hair textures.  Wear this color with gold accents, mustard yellow, neutrals, black leather and fun prints like leopard and snake!  If you’d like to incorporate this trendy color into your fall wardrobe and still get maximum usage out of it, I suggest purchasing burgundy-coated denim like the J Brand or Dorothy Perkins pairs above.  However, the bordeaux beauty products are the cheapest and simplest way to to wear this rich color for fall.  I’d say that changing up your nail polish is the easiest and least expensive way to play into color trends.  I recommend the color Recessionista by Essie.

Have a wonderful weekend!
