Hi!

I hope that everyone had a fabulous holiday season and is gearing up to take on 2025. Now that the holidays are in the rearview mirror, it is time to focus on setting our wardrobes up for success in the new year. There is no specific theme for this installment of the Style Series - just outfits that I personally love and would want to wear. Cheers to a fabulous and fashionable new year!

Housekeeping note - the free weekly newsletter will continue on as usual, but I will be pausing these paid Style Series posts for a bit. If you have any feedback on what you want to see in the future, please share! My Instagram DMs are always open!

Sweater / pants / necklace / shoes / bag

Satin pants are a staple in my wardrobe - they can perfectly toe the line between style and comfort. In a season where I am so frequently wearing sweaters, I love how a fluid satin pant adds some textural contrast against a cozy knit and makes the most effortlessly chic outfit pairing. Wear this gray knit untucked so that it falls naturally. The key to successfully executing a more relaxed outfit like this is to intentionally choose a shoe that elongates the leg. While any pointed toe shoe will suffice, a pointed toe kitten heel will earn you brownie points, especially in this ivory color that pairs beautifully with the coordinating pant. This pearl necklace adds some interest at the neckline, and a structured mini bag ties it all together.

Blazer / jeans / shoes / bag / earrings

You can’t go wrong with a jeans and blazer pairing, but this cinched waist blazer adds an instant x-factor to the look (FYI - I have been eyeing this splurge-y blazer all season, and it just went on sale!). A more fitted jean silhouette balances out the volume in the blazer, and a leopard print slingback adds a nice pop of print to inject some interest and break up all of the solids. Minimal accessories are needed with a blazer this fabulous, so I kept it simple with my favorite pair of gold statement hoops and a black suede clutch.

Jeans / cardigan / sweater / boots / bag / earrings

If the 2025 runways are any indication, then powder pink is expected to be a major color trend for this upcoming year. I love how fresh the color looks when paired back to a light olive green. The base of this outfit is these green boyfriend jeans with the gray cardigan. While this outfit is great on its own, draping the light pink sweater over your shoulder kicks it up a notch and is an easy way to dabble in the powder pink trend. Textural suede accessories complete the look!
