The Outfit Formula You’ll Love on Repeat
✨ Wide-leg pant + fitted top + heel or platform sneaker ✨
Why it works: A fitted top (bonus points for a fun print!) paired with a wide-leg pant creates a gorgeous A-line shape. Add a heel or platform sneaker, and voilà—you’ve got longer legs and a taller silhouette. Who doesn’t love that kind of instant confidence boost?
Why I love it: This formula is a triple threat—it’s comfy, flatters every body type, and is ridiculously easy to remember. Plus, when I find a combo I love, I’m all about that repeat life. My current obsession? A top and jean pairing from the Winter Capsule. It’s versatile, cute, and—best of all—it’s wash-and-wear. No ironing, no steaming, no dry cleaning. Because who has time for that? Not this mom of twin boys!
Give this formula a try, and share with me about about how it works for you. I’m betting it’s about to become your new go-to!
Formula: Slim fit pant, Chelsea boot, Winter sweater
Why it works: This combo brings the cozy vibes and keeps your outfit balanced! Pairing a voluminous winter sweater with fitted pants can sometimes create an upside-down triangle effect—but here’s the fix: cuff your pants, throw on some fun socks, and finish with a chunky boot. Boom, balanced proportions that WERK!
Why I love it:I am not a big fan of showing any skin when the temps are low and I love adding a bit of personality to an outfit with some fun socks! Another reason I find myself wearing this formula a lot in the Winter months is because it keeps my pants clean! When there is snow, ice, or slush on the ground, I don’t like my pants anywhere near it. This keeps everything clean, dry, and warm!
This formula is my winter MVP—it’s cozy, chic, and totally weather-proof! Let’s see those fun socks!
Winter Style Hack You’ll Love
Formula: Cropped wide or flare pant, bootie or high top, fun detail top or sweater
Why it works: Cropped pants hitting right at the ankle bone paired with a boot that tucks neatly inside? Instant leg-lengthening magic and extra warmth—yes, please! Add a sweater or top with a bold print or structured shoulder to draw the eye up and balance the look. It’s a formula that flatters and keeps you cozy!
Why I love it:✨ Keeps your pants off the ground (no soggy hems here).✨ Perfect for post-holiday vibes when you’re craving comfort and coverage.✨ Wide-leg or flared crops are a game-changer for midsection weight or just avoiding unwanted attention there—they create balance and style effortlessly.
This combo is practical, flattering, and gives off total winter chic vibes! Who’s ready to give it a try? Can’t wait to see what you come up with! Don't forget to tag me on social!
Flare Pants + Blazers/Dusters = A Match Made in Style Heaven
Formula: Flared pant, bootie or heel, top + added layer (blazer, bomber, duster)
Why it works:Flares are the ultimate leg-lengthening magic trick! Their volume at the bottom creates a beautiful balance for any body type. Throw a blazer or duster cardigan on top, and voilà—midsection camouflage and polished perfection!
Why I love it:👖 My legs aren’t naturally long, but flares make them look endless.✨ These Spanx flares are next-level: pull-on style for a smoothing fit, just the right stretch and structure, and all-day comfort.🧥 Pair with my favorite blazers—secretly made of sweatshirt material, so they’re as cozy as they are chic.
This formula gives effortless style, comfort, and confidence. Who’s ready to rock it? Drop a 🙌 if you’re team flares!
The Ultimate Power Trio: Black Pants, Red Sweater, Leopard Shoes 🐆❤️🖤
Why it works:This combo is an all-time classic! Red + leopard print is the perfect mix of bold and timeless, effortlessly chic whether you’re dressing it up with heels or keeping it casual with leopard sneakers. Bonus: the A-line silhouette created by the pants + sweater combo flatters everyone.
Why I love it:It’s the perfect balance of personality and polish—fun enough to turn heads but not so loud you feel out of place. Plus, it’s endlessly versatile and never goes out of style. Those are the pieces I want in my wardrobe for life!
✨ Pro Tip: Try a pull-on pant for a sporty vibe (on the far left here), wide-leg jeans for a trendy twist, or coated denim for extra glam.
