Fabrizio Gianni Giveaway!

One of my most reliable sources for pants that are great fitting and comfortable to wear has long been Fabrizio Gianni.

A favorite military-style jacket is also by Fabrizio Gianni. I really appreciate the quality and classic styles they offer, and all of their pieces are made in the USA!

I love the rich look and versatility of colors such as olive, mushroom, and caper; however, those colors are not flattering to my cool skin tone. My solution? Wear those colors away from my face and pair them with a color such as navy or white, which works well with my cool coloring.

Styling a short jacket with a longer tank is a fresh, youthful way to wear layers. Add an animal print clutch, one bold silver ring, cognac shoes, and that's all the accessories I need with this look. Remember, bold buttons count as an accessory!

I cuffed these caper color pants to show the top of the shoe. I could also easily wear them long with boots later in the season since they have a slight boot flare cut. These pants are soft and comfortable, and the fabric is very supple, but it keeps its shape. These are also great pants for travel!

I am so happy to sponsor giveaways that some of my favorite vendors allow me to offer you. This month I am joining with Fabrizio Gianni to offer you the chance to win a fabulous jersey knit print top valued at $85. 

I have the reptile print top, and I will be showing you that one tomorrow, along with the Rafflecopter code to enter to win the print top of your choice.

Never Boring Basics

You have likely noticed that the foundation of my look is basic pieces with interesting accessories and toppers.

Basics can get boring if you never play with texture or color, so today, I am showing you how my super comfortable white jean style twill pants from Fabrizio Gianni and a white tank can be given a little edge with a dark wash denim jacket and a mint tote also from Fabrizio Gianni.

Living at a higher elevation with evening temperatures that dip into the sixties or lower means I never leave for the day without taking an extra layer. Since I was going out for a day of casual sightseeing activities, the tote and scarf were the perfect accessories. I can wear a scarf or use it to soften the texture of the tote. Tying a colorful scarf to your bag in warm weather is a great way to add a pop of color to your basic look without being too warm by wearing it during the day. The tote is also roomy enough to put the jacket into when I don't need it.

I always wear a tank with wide straps and a nice fit but not too tight. If I do need to remove my jacket, I can still be comfortable and appropriate.

This is my favorite summer tote! It is lightweight, and the mint color goes with all my basics beautifully while adding a pop of color. It is also roomy enough to hold all the things I need to take for a full day of activities.

I have numerous items from Fabrizio Gianni that I have enjoyed wearing many times. I appreciate that the items are made in the USA, and the quality is always very high. Their customer service is excellent!

Jeans and a Tee

How often do you wear jeans and a tee? That combination has become a global uniform.

Sometimes I like to wear a more sophisticated and feminine version of this look. These cotton twill stretch slim fit white jeans are from Fabrizio Gianni. The fabric is soft and lightweight but not see-through. The fit is perfection.

I am also wearing a fabulous tee with three-quarter-length sleeves and a very flattering neckline from Fabrizio Gianni. I love the fabric of this top! It smooths and skims across your body without showing all those jiggly bits.

The Halogen flats are from Nordstrom, and the BCBG bag and Kenneth Cole sunglasses are from T.J.Maxx.

Fabrizio Gianni Jeans

When are jeans, not jeans? When they are Fabrizio Gianni Super Stretch jeans in the color, Rinsed.

I wore these amazing jeans with a white linen biker jacket and a white tank. The jacket is just long enough to cover the detail on the back pockets. The animal print d'Orsay shoes and clutch dressed up the look so that you would never know these are technically jeans.

This super stretch denim is amazingly comfortable denim with a memory ID that maintains its natural shape time after time. They are proudly made in the USA.

The dark navy rinse was perfect with the white jacket for early spring to have dinner with Mr. Mickey.
