Give Your Fashion Some High Fashion #SearsKenmore

10 tips for weaving the hottest runway trends into your day-to-day looks!

Of course we'd all love to walk through our daily lives as stylish as the runway models! The truth is you can, and you don't have to spend a fortune. Incorporating these tips can help you bring some high fashion to your daily style.

1.  Re-fashion: Try layering, or having something altered. You don't have to give up on an item...just try it a different way.
2.  Accessorize: Add accessories to your wardrobe. You don't have to go overboard, (I'm not a huge accessorizer myself) just be simple! Find stylish pieces that you can coordinate with many outfits. Try adding a belt with a tunic top for a little flair or a long necklace with a sweater-dress in the Fall/Winter.
3.  Find Inspiration: I have a 'subscription' to each of my favorite stores' catalogs. I rarely order from them, but rather use them to get outfit ideas. See 'what goes with what' and how you can combine and coordinate yourself.
4.  Share and Share-Alike: Does your girlfriend have a top you absolutely love? Maybe you have a pair of jeans that look better on her! (C'mon...be honest you know they do.) Swap! Trade! It may not be 'new' but as my dad used to say "it's new to you!" Oh, and guess what else? Totally FREE :)
5.  Social Media: Follow your favorite stores on Twitter or 'Like' them on Facebook. You'll be alerted when there's a sale as well as get exclusive deals and sometimes even contests!
6.  Realistic Fashion Icons: Dressing for your body type is important. If you want to mimic celebrity fashion, find a celeb with your body type and see how they dress. Celebrities have so many people styling them, you're sure to get some great ideas. (Lady Gaga doesn't count.)
7.  Classic: If all else fails...go classic. Look at fashion trends from the 50's, 60's, 70's and see what strikes you. It's really more about learning new combinations.
8.  "LBD": Ah yes, the little black dress is the absolute fashion staple. It is appropriate in both high-fashion and semi-formal situations as a beautiful classic piece. Use your accessories to accentuate...especially with a black dress try red heels!
9.  Go 'Vintage' in your own closet: Dig through your closet for things you no longer wear. Try them on again and play dress-up for a while! Combine them with newer things in your wardrobe and you may be pleasantly surprised.
10.  Shop Clearance: Everywhere I go, I shop the clearance rack FIRST! You would be surprised and the gems you find if you shop clearance. Some things may be out of season but in that case you're shopping ahead of time!

Do you already do these things in your daily life? What other tips would you add? Tell me in the comments!

@CharmedValerie Inspired 'Style Pile': A Fashionista's Meditation

First I must say 'Gracias!' to Charmed Valerie for calling me out to do this post. Making a style pile of things I feel are representative of me and my style was a blast! 

I was unsure at first, but I think my style pile really is representative of me and who I am.

SOOO...what's in MY style pile?

1. HEELS: These are one of my favorite pairs of shoes. How I got them is a long and ridiculous story involving a hurricane and other madness. They're sexy and chic, which I hope I am too! ;)

2. ZEBRA HAIR BOWS: These are one of my favorite hair accessories! I'm just a kid at heart I suppose and I've always loved wearing bows in my hair. 

3. MICKEY MOUSE: This big ol' thing has been with us since my son was about 18 months old. I don't know what possessed my hubby to buy it but at the time we got it, the toy was bigger than our son! They still sleep together & since I used munchkin's bed as my backdrop I left Mickey Mouse in peace. [side note - munchkin's room has the best natural light in the house]

4. SWEATER FROM BRASIL: LOVE this sweater! It's a boat-neck cut so I love to wear it 80's style to one side with a tank top underneath. The fact that it says RIO in sequins makes me feel ever so slightly glam when I wear it even though it's a sweater. LOL

5. FAUX LEATHER CROP JACKET FROM H&M: I just bought this jacket a few weeks ago and I can't get enough of it! :) It's faux-leather ad pretty 'bad-ass' looking if you ask me. I love the cut and it makes me feel put-together when I wear it. If you were at BlogWorld you definitely saw me rockin' it!

6. LBD (LITTLE BLACK DRESS) WITH LACE UPPER: Another AWESOME buy by yours truly. I like to think of myself as a $10 shopper...if it's $10 or under and relatively unique (or something classic) I buy it! This dress was $10 at a little random 'boutique' in our town. I actually saw it a week before buying it and the sales-lady told me it would be $10 the next week so I waited.

7. MAKEUP BRUSHES and NAIL POLISH: Need I say more? I am a makeup addict. If it's makeup, skin care or beauty related COUNT ME IN! Also, being a student, wife and working mama I rarely have the time to have my nails done professionally and AVON's nail polish is my favorite! It stays on at least 2 weeks and I mean with washing dishes, cleaning and all that good stuff!

8. MY VANS. These are a California wardrobe staple. Along with Chuck Taylors, Vans are my favorite sneaker. So comfy, simple and inexpensive. This red pair is my favorite because when I bought them the hubbs told me I was crazy and would never wear those bright red shoes. Boy was he wrong! I have worn this pair out and as you can see, I can't find the other one! Ooops...

9. BOOK and NERD GLASSES: I am a bookworm! I have always loved books. I guess being an only child, I read more than a lot of people I know. I would spend entire weekends in my room reading and have been known to stay up for days at a time upon getting my hands on the latest Harry Potter. The glasses...not mine & not prescription [haha] I just like them.

What would be 3 things in your style-pile?
