I love the idea of winter white pants for, go figure, winter!  We're definitely seeing lots of in the stores this season, in everything from corduroy to dress pants and even jeans. I think winter white pants are a great way to mix up the boring routine of denim or black dress pants.  Of course, the only caveat is be careful not to get winter slop all over them when walking around outside. They are best suited for non sloppy days or minimal parking lot exposure. =)

Here's the first of a few Thanksgiving looks to inspire you!  This is a great outfit for when you'd like to dress up a bit, but don't want to be too overdressed. A great conservative chic look, but the burgundy cords give it a modern twist.

Peter Pan Collar

Peter Pan Collar

Has anyone else noticed all the peter pan collar shirts out there this fall?  I do love me a peter pan collar, but unfortunately as a large busted, broad shouldered woman the peter pan collar is not for me.  This look works best on women with narrow shoulders and smaller busts, who have either a pear shape or boyish shape figure.  So, I'll settle for living vicariously through all of you that look fantastic wearing a peter pan collared top. 

I had the awesome privilege of speaking to a MOPS group down in Chicago this week about all things related to personal style, as well as true beauty that comes from within.  What a great group of moms!  Thanks for having me ladies!

Just a reminder that Christmas is fast approaching! Don't forget that gift certificates to Real Life. Real Style make a great gift for yourself, your bff, sister, mom or even mother-in-law! Pop me an email and I'll take care of the rest.  Have a great weekend!  Look for some Thanksgiving outfits ideas next week on the blog.

Fall Boots

Women's shoes and accessories: Favorite fall boots | Piperlime

Casual fall boots are a necessity these days, and with so many too choose from I thought I would show you some fun, budget friendly options for fall (well, except the Frye boots in the middle, but they're just so beautiful.  I can only dream to own a pair someday!) 

I am often asked for suggestions on where to find cute boots.  There are so many great options from department stores to TJ Maxx, Piperlime's online store (who doesn't love free shipping and free returns), and even Target. By the way, the colorblock boots are from Target.  So, it totally depends.  I know, helpful aren't I! Okay, depends on what you're looking for, it varies from year to year for me.  Anyways, here are a few great pairs to get you started.
