Winter & Holiday Looks To Take You Through To Spring

Eight Outfits

I am so excited about this post and video, because I am showing eight outfits perfect for those like me who love classic, feminine fashion that is elegant and ladylike but still cozy and comfortable.  Some of the outfits are casual and others are more dressy, but all feature timeless pieces that are always in style.  Oh, and by the way, if you love ruffles, you will not be disappointed!

New Clutch, Booties & Podiatrist-Designed Pumps

As for accessories, I am featuring a new clutch/wristlet by Ralph Lauren.  It is crocodile-embossed leather in a dark garnet/chocolate-brown color that is dreamy.  To see me carrying this clutch, scroll to Outfit #1.

I also am showing a new pair of chocolate-brown booties from Ralph Lauren.  The wedge heel and mid-heel height make them so comfortable for walking.  To see me wearing these, scroll to Outfit #4.

In my final outfit in this post (#8), I wear a pair of navy podiatrist-designed Kitten-Heel Pumps, which are also new.  I point them out here because they are so comfortable and come in 27 colors.  (They are by the brand Ally, which is co-owned by a podiatrist).  I bought these specifically to wear with dark-wash jeans–and navy tops, pants, and dresses.  If you are interested in any shoes or boots from Ally, be sure to use my coupon code, JANIS10, for 10% off your first purchase.

Lastly, if you are interested in any of the Gingiberi jewelry or Goelia clothing I am wearing in this post and video, be sure to note my Savings Codes.  You will find these listed just a few lines down.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post today.  If you would like to watch my video, scroll to the bottom of this page.

Wishing you all a peaceful weekend.

Scenes From The Video

Leather Clutch

(ABOVE & BELOW) I bought this clutch in both the Dark Garnet and the Taupe (available in five colors).  I like the size and the crocodile-embossed leather; the combination makes it look so elegant.  It is small enough to carry with a dressy outfit and yet still roomy enough to carry all your essentials with a casual outfit.   Also, you can choose to carry it with the wristlet strap or, like I show above, tuck the strap down onto the recessed zipper and carry it as a clutch.  To see me carrying it, scroll to Outfit #1.

(NOTE: If you are interested in any of the 18k gold and pearl Gingiberi Jewelry I wear in this post and video, all pieces are shown and linked near the bottom of this post. Free shipping and free returns worldwide.  For 15% off,  use my code Janis15.)
