When I’m getting ready to go out during the fall, I find myself having to choose between wearing the cute dress I’ve been dying to wear but being freezing with bare legs…or choosing a “tights appropriate” dress. It seems like that supercuteIcannotwaittowear dress never quite works with tights. It’s either too stretchy and shows tight lines on my stomach, turns frumpy when I throw tights on, or just isn’t the right color. And, to make matters worse, I’m perpetually cold. All the time.

Frankly, I’m over freezing my ass off when it starts getting chilly. My leather jacket can only do so much for the body temp. You know?

So, in honor of my miserable/rainy/frigid walk home from the bar last night, I wanted to find a look of the week that works with (or without) tights. I’m digging this sparkly and most crucially, fall friendly, Parker dress from RTR.

I really love the bold lip with this dress. It’s the perfect last touch. Click here to create a Rent the Runway account and rent the dress!

Jessica Szohr totally gets the short end of the Gossip Girl stick. Her character, Vanessa Abrams, is one of thee most obnoxious, insufferable, thoroughly unpleasant characters on the show. Considering how none of those characters are people anyone would want to know in real life, that is quite a feat.

But just because Jessica’s character completely sucks doesn’t mean that Jessica deserves to be as D-list as she is. I mean, she’s dating Ed Westwick, so she’s probably a pretty cool chick. Not only that, but her sense of style is amazeballs. (No joke, are all of the GG actresses must be contractually obligated to be as fierce off set as they are on?) Jessica combines edgy, feminine, and trendy pieces to create a banging, fun, fresh aesthetic that is to die for. Or, you know, to scour discount racks for…

Black and white will never not be a totally great look. Black trench coats are a wardrobe must. They are so versatile and you can throw one on over pretty much anything and look totally put-together. A white sweater underneath adds a striking contrast, and the oversized, boyfriend style makes it look casual and cool. Throwing that on over short black shorts adds a splash of unexpected sass.

I am as big a glitter slut as Ke$ha, so the glittery tights are absolutely my favorite part of this look – they are sparkly, glam, chic, fun, and sexy. What more could you possibly ask for from a pair of tights? Finally, a pair of basic black ankle boots ties the whole outfit together into one edgy, trendy, fabulous-for-winter look.

Oh, Jessica Szohr, this outfit almost makes me forgive you for bringing Vanessa Abrams to life…almost.

ModCloth is known for their vintage and retro-inspired clothing. I personally love their selection of unique dresses and shoes – they have perfect outfits for anything from parties to work (and everything in between).

Another great feature of ModCloth is the amazing selection of quirky and standout accessories. ModCloth offers lots of cute and unique accessories to add the perfect finishing touch to any outfit. And the best part? Lots of ModCloth’s accessories are less than $20 each – like all of these great choices!

It’s almost the end of the year. As you’re making your New Year’s resolution list, here’s something to think about: punching up your style for 2011.

If you have “budget better” on your list, this might seem like it will counter a resolution to save money, but it doesn’t have to. An easy way to add a little punch to your wardrobe is with accessories! With a pair of patterned tights you can easily change the appearance of your go-to black dress. With a sparkly headband you can add some interest to your in-dire-need-of-a-cut hairstyle. Though Blair Waldorf-esque bow headbands may seem so Constance Billards, adding one with a lot of bling is a way to stray from that UES image.

By adding accessories from head to toe, you can add a lot of pizzaz to an otherwise basic outfit. And I’ve got 15 items to scoop up just in time for the New Year.

I don’t think much about Ashley Olsen these days (with the exception of when I catch Full House reruns and roll my eyes at how obnoxious Michelle Tanner is). She is the CEO of two fashion lines (one that I am way too old to wear, and one that I am way too broke to wear), while Mary-Kate is the one who still occasionally graces us with her acting presence, and I hold her entirely responsible for the dirty hipster hobo-chic trend that has been around for far too long.

But when Ashley Olsen appeared at the Google Boutique launch party (because it’s not like Google has infiltrated enough of our everyday lives…) in an outfit that was not only fitted but actually adorable, I was shocked. Like, I had no words. Well, except for gimme, gimme, gimme.

Shopping Info: Sweater – Forever 21, $24.80; Dress – Modcloth, $57.99; Bag – Target, $24.99; Strappy Wedges - Forever 21, $27.80; Tights – Nordstrom, $8.

An orange sweater paired with a pink dress? In theory, it sounds like a massive eye sore. Like something you would have done when you were 7 and didn’t know better and your idea of style was throwing as many bright colors into one outfit as possible. It’s definitely not a color combination that would have crossed my mind prior to seeing Ashley rock it. The key to mixing pastels is to making sure they lie in the same family – warm or cool. Ashley’s orange and pink are both very light, so they mesh well. The orange sweater from Forever 21 and the (AMAZINGLY chic dress that you can both with this sweater or completely on its own) from ModCloth are both rich shades of their respective colors, so I promise you won’t look like you got dressed in bad lighting.

Adding some black tights automatically makes the look appropriate for winter (and the second it gets above 68 degrees again, you’ll have the perfect spring look). Throw on some strappy black sandals because who says sandals are just for summer (tights + sandals in the same color are totally the fashionable alternative to socks + flip flops). Top it all off with a toughened up black purse, and voila, you have an interestingly adorable outfit.

Jessica Alba has been taking a break from the big screen lately, choosing to focus on raising her daughter and tweet about feeling fly like a G6. Yet, she is still a solid fixture in all the tabloids, because for some reason, everyone is still obsessed with the fact that celebrities procreate (and look fabulous while doing so).

Jessica is definitely one of the most stylish mommies running around Hollywood. She has a fresh, hip, not excessively trendy style and she loves to include unexpected accessories or pieces with eye-catching detailing. Weird, because I also like to be fresh, hip and not excessively trendy with a touch of the unexpected. Thankfully, I don’t have to have Jessica’s movie star salary to achieve my style dreams.

Product Info: Skirt – Forever 21, $19.80; White Shirt – Old Navy, $10; Blazer – Target, $19.99; Scarf – Scarf World, $5.56; Tights – Figleaves, $7.50; Shoes – Steve Madden, $69.95.

I completely adore this outfit for so many reasons. First of all, this amazing skirt. Maybe I’ve been watching too much Gossip Girl, but I am a firm supporter in miniskirts year round, and I am absolutely in love with the silver studding of this one from Forever 21, which has a similar biker-inspired aesthetic to Jessica’s bangin’ skirt. I have already expressed my undying love for animal print, so you know I’m swooning over the cheetah print scarf, which livens up the plain white top.

I chose a boyfriend blazer (the best/most versatile thing in my wardrobe) to throw on top, but a heavy pea coat would look just as cute. Those sheer tights are perfect for you lucky ladies who don’t have to walk around with a scorching hot caramel macchiato at all times to keep you warm. But for my fellow shivering chickadees, throw on some uber thick tights and you’re good to go. Finally, these uber cute black tuxedo shoes finish off the look by adding a slightly boyish flair to an otherwise very feminine outfit.

Jessica Alba’s look is effortlessly sexy and edgy, and with enough sass, totally appropriate for a variety of occasions, from a Saturday shopping sesh to a night at the bar. Here’s hoping I can look this hot after popping a kid out…

[When moving into either a dorm or an off-campus apartment, your wardrobe will face two major challenges: 1. A major lack of funding (to add more to it), and 2. A major lack of storage space (for all the crap you've got). For these two reasons, maximizing what you already own becomes essential. That's why you need to learn to Shop Your Closet. Each week, I’ll show you how to wear 1 item 3 ways – with the stuff you most likely already own! – to get the most out of your purchases.]

I’m a huge fan of dresses. They’re feminine, comfortable and instantly make you dressed up, even if you just rolled out of bed. But despite my dress devotion, the colder it gets outside, the less inclined I am to actually wear one. Or at least, that’s how it used to be. Since I learned the art of layering, suddenly almost everything (chunky sweaters are the exception – there’s no way those can be worn in the middle of summer) in my wardrobe can be worn through all four seasons.

Especially the strapless dress.

It’s one of the easiest, most versatile dress styles to layer. Because you don’t have to worry about the awkward layering of different necklines, it’s easy to toss a shirt underneath. And like every other dress in your closet, throwing a cardigan or blazer over top is quick and chic. The other thing I like is that a lot of strapless dresses have more structure to them (in order to hold them up!) which means you can still show off your figure despite being completely covered up and cozy.

Outfit 1:

Dress, Long Sleeve, Scarf, Textured Tights, Boots.

This look is pretty basic, but still way cuter than your traditional jeans and tee. Put on a long sleeve tee and tights (you could also wear a thicker legging) underneath your dress to winterize the look. Then put on your everyday boots (if it’s really cold, add a pair of knee-high socks; they can either peek out of your boots or not). Top with a bright scarf for a pop of color. Instantly chic and easily adjusted depending on the temperature outside. Added bonus of this look – since you have a long sleeve tee on, no need for a strapless bra!

Outfit 2:

Dress, Blazer, Necklace, Tights, Heels.

For a night on the town, rock out your wildest pair of tights. With a basic strapless dress, anything goes when it comes to legwear – leopard print, fishnets, bright purple. Add a pair of gorgeous heels, and a blazer to keep you warm when you’re not dancing up a storm. The final touch is a piece of statement jewelry. I chose to add a great necklace based on the cut of the dress, but you could easily add bangles or a statement ring if that’s more your style.

Outfit 3:

Dress, Cardigan, Belt, Tights, Boots, Necklace.

Belted cardigans over dresses are a favorite look of mine. Toss on a thick open cardigan over your dress, and cinch it together with a skinny belt. I put some subtle leopard tights with this look, as only your knees will be shown between your dress and boots, but you could just as easily wear a solid colored tight with this. Your go-to boots and a necklace complete this everyday, perfect for class look.

One thing I’m sure you everyone owns is a black cardigan. It’s definitely an essential item for the college girl – it goes with anything, is easy to wear, is perfect for layering when going from a cold classroom to a steamy library, and doesn’t show the dirt that’s accumulated since your last laundry day….3 weeks ago.

As it gets closer to Thanksgiving you might be putting off laundry, in hopes that your parents will help you with the garbage bag full of dirty clothes you bring home. The longer you put off that trip to the laundry room, though, the harder it is to get dressed. Luckily, your black cardigan will help fill in the gaps between now and hooray-mom’s-doing-my-laundry day (or even now and next spring!), and I’ve got three outfits to help you get up, get dressed and get out of your room in style.

Thank you, god of black cardigans!

Outfit 1: With Basics

Cardigan, Tee, Jeans, Boots, Scarf

No matter how high the laundry pile gets, you can probably find at least one t-shirt that is clean (enter: smell test). Toss on a t-shirt, a pair of jeans and your everyday boots with your cardigan and you’re all ready to head out. Add personality to this casual look by adding a scarf or statement necklace into the mix.

Outfit 2: Belted With a Dress

Cardigan, Dress, Belt, Flats, Socks

Dig back in your closet and unearth your favorite floral, summer dress. Belt your cardigan over top to transition your dress to fall, and add a pair of over-the-knee socks or tights to keep your legs warm. A pair of flats with the socks, or boots with your tights, are the final touch to this outfit.

Outfit 3: Over Your Summer Staples

Cardigan, Shorts, Tights, Sneakers, Leafy Tank, Charcoal Tank

Another item that’s probably still clean? Your denim shorts. Add tights underneath for warmth, and your favorite sneakers or flats. Lastly, layer tanks for visual interest under your cardigan. Summer pieces layered with tights and a cardigan over top are a perfect way to use everything in your wardrobe before you finally cave in and do laundry.
