These are my ideas for some cute back to school outfits. hope you guys enjoy! And good luck! xoxo Anna Products Used: Outfit #1: - Jeans American Eagle (look for some dark washed skinny jeans) - Scarf Limited Too (any light weight scarf with a smiled pattern) - Blazer Zara (look for a black one because it's the most versatile) - Sweater Abercorombie & Fitch (look for one with a button up and then just wear a tank top underneath. if you dont want to wear a scarf put on a colored tank top underneath and it will spice up the outfit) - Shoes: Slouchy black boots Macy's (if it's cold) or black flats Macy's by Steve Madden (if it's warmer or if you don't like the look of slouchy boots) Outfit #2: - Blazer Zara (look for one on the longer side so it doesn't look awkward when belted) - Tank Top American Eagle (if you're wearing a more cream colored skirt make sure you find a more creamy tank top so they don't clash.) - Skirt Forever 21 (lace is really in this season and a great way to do it is with a lace skirt.

How to Wear Boots with Style
Boots are one of my favorite things about winter - once the novelty of snow and sweaters has worn off, anyway.
Boots can be practical or sexy, although rarely both in the salt-laden streets of harsh winter climates. Speaking of which...
While it may often seem like store clerks are just trying to boost their commissions by ringing up protective sprays and gels, their sales gimmick is not totally bogus.
It is essential to understand that not all boots are created equal. The word 'boot' is not synonymous with water-proof or snow-friendly. Respect your fashion investment by weather-protecting and cleaning all of your winter footwear regularly.
Realize that protective and restorative shoe applications cannot perform miracles. Have the common sense to know when to air on the side of practicality and not to wear your suede stiletto calf-cut boots. Salt and water produce damaging, lasting stains which - in addition to ruining boots' finish - actually corrode the integrity of genuine suede, leather and fabric. Purchase a swank boot bag in which to tote your trendy footwear to work in nasty winter conditions while opting for damage-proof snow or rain boots while en route.
Boot Tip: If you remember nothing else: Be seasonally consistent when putting an outfit together. Do not wear boots and a skirt with bare legs; tights, nylons, or even flesh colored fishnet stockings help bridge the (thermal & fashion) gap between your knees and your hemline.
Ankle Boots
Very funky footwear when worn with tights and a skirt. Avoid wearing ankle boots with long skirts past the knee - this tends to look frumpy and matronly.
Mid-Calf Boots
A unique cut that looks great with skirts of all lengths. This style accentuates your calf muscle and stands out from the crowd of knee-high boots. Very sexy, indeed.
Tall Boots
The classic knee-high boot. Ensure that the boot fits snugly around your leg; if the boot gapes open you may need to have it altered for a more chic look—a standard procedure at most cobblers.
Fur-Lined Boots & UGGs
Narrow, fur-lined lace-up tall boots are a sweet accompaniment to a flirty short skirt. For a funky casual style, try wearing knee socks over your tights and letting them peek (ever so slightly) over the top of your boot. This look works best if your socks and tights are contrasting colors.
UGGs have become all the rage as the surfer-type's (and urban wanna-be surfer type's) winter foot-wear of choice. These robust, wooly sheepskin boots have been fashioned for years by Australian craftsmen, and were first mass introduced to North America in 1978 by Brian Smith, a young Australian surfer seeking to spread the UGG-love across the United States.
Twenty-five years later, and while UGGs aren't exactly the height of chic sophistication or glamorous sexiness, they are hailed by wearers as the ultimate in comfort and warmth at 30 below.

Spring Wardrobe Trends For the 9 to 5 Professional
As the days get longer and the skies stay sunnier, it's time to think about a fresh, updated look for spring. Get ready to store away those layers of winter woolens and start considering what lightweight fabrics, colors, and accessories to incorporate into your working wardrobe in order to infuse it with renewed energy and put some spring in your step.
Having been in the fashion industry for years I know that every designer, retailer, and fashion magazine has its own unique view of what constitutes springtime must-have items. But I've also observed that most of these trends or collections tend to focus on weekend wear or casual attire for warm weather vacationers. As much as I love watching all the fashion trends emerge, as a professional image consultant I must say that not every one of these popular trends is going to be appropriate for every person - and many are not at all relevant to the workplace wardrobe needs of professional women.
So in this article I've fine-tuned the trends and reinterpreted several of those that can add some polish and style to your everyday 9 to 5 professional or business casual wardrobe.
Colorful Springtime Tones
All of my top professional clients know that dark neutrals are the real power colors. But when springtime arrives with its warmer temperatures you may need to lighten up your neutrals in order to get greater versatility from your wardrobe while still retaining an empowered professional presence. This season the new neutrals are navy, gray, pewter, olive, tan, black, and white. Invest in a few core wardrobe pieces - such as a suit, a pair of dress trousers, or a skirt - to give you valuable versatility and longer wear from your clothing investments. You can also always add a brighter fashion color of the season like turquoise, blue, tomato red, coral, tangerine, lemon yellow, fresh green, or violet. Utilize these brighter hues to add some pop and flair to your power neutrals by incorporating them into a silk blouse, a dress pump, a handbag, or a scarf. Your sense of style will convey to others that you are knowledgeable about the season's fashion colors while it will simultaneously set you apart with an attractive and uniquely polished look.
Your Printed Style
I love prints because of how they can add a bit of magic to a solid suit or skirt, and this spring you'll see lots of romantic floral, abstract, tropical, safari, and tribal prints. But remember that in the workplace prints need to be smaller so that they don't distract from your professional image. You never want to wear a large print dress to a speaking engagement, for example, where the attention will be focused on your wardrobe instead of on you. While it is great to add some prints into your ensemble, be sure to shop for smaller prints and add them in small doses through items like blouses, scarves, tote bags, or shoes.
New Accessories for the New Decade
Jewelry - Large, bold jewelry fashion statements - with necklaces, earrings, and bracelets that tend to be chunkier and a bit sparkly - will still be in vogue this spring. These are great must-have pieces when you want to create some dramatic interest for your social wardrobe. But while dressing for the workplace environment you should tone it down a bit. Instead of wearing five to ten strands of large pearls, for example, look for a two-strand necklace of smaller pearls. If you wear a dress to work, perhaps one statement earring is enough, or you can add a beautifully elegant cuff bracelet. I also often see women at networking events with a beautiful ruffled or embellished neckline that they have managed to ruin by unnecessarily adding a necklace. You don't always need a necklace. You can let the details of a lovely neckline be center stage while wearing another less obscuring jewelry piece like an earring or a set of delicate bangles.
Handbags & Totes - The handbags are smaller this season and carried with a pop of fresh color. Popular styles are soft and slouchy shoulder bags and satchel and hobo styles in buttery soft barely-there neutral or "nude" colored leathers. You will also see handbags or totes with flairs of color like blues, yellows, pinks and floral or animal prints. A great statement tote bag is a must-have for every professional, and is a wonderfully stylish way to carry work essentials.
Shoes - Every working woman needs to consider purchasing the new and exciting nude shoe. Beige skin tone pumps, platform pumps, wedges, and flats all look perfectly modern and sensationally sassy. Those women of color with richer, darker complexions should seek out shoes in warmer tones that match their legs - like, for example, various luscious shades of brown, black, or coffee. The key here - regardless of your particular skin tone - is to find a hue that minimizes the contrast between the color of the shoe and your natural leg color.
Why? Because then when you put on the shoe it has the magical visual impact of lengthening the look of the leg. Wearing skin tone shoes, in other words, is an easy technique for instantly giving your legs that desirable long, lean, leggy appearance. Pair the nude shoe with navy for a look that is both elegant and sophisticated.
Another great find this season is the return of 1-3 inch mid-length heels. The kitten heel is more comfortable to wear when you need to be on your feet all day long, and these heels convey subtle sexiness that is understated enough to fabulously compliment your professional look.
Five Must-Have Spring Fashion Essentials for the Polished Professional
1) A Modern Dress - As spring approaches it is all about dress styles that are belted at the waist or draped in a soft, flowing silhouette. Nothing is hotter this season than the classic shirtdress, which is tailored enough for work but still exudes a sassy attitude. For those more dressier occasions select a soft, flowing dress with a bit of ruching around the middle of the silhouette, which is a great way to camouflage those tummy challenges we want to disguise. Don't forget, though, that the styling of your work dress still needs to be on the structured or tailored side. I do love the softer romantic florals and large ruffled styles, but I suggest that instead of wearing those to work that you reserve them for a time when you need to arrive in style at a social event.
2) The Basic White Shirt Updated - The white blouse or shirt is always a great way to add a lighter, fresher look when the mercury is rising. But this season it's not about wearing the man's shirt, so instead look for structured tailoring with a few distinctly modern details like ruffles, ruching, or pin tucks throughout the body of the shirt. You will also find great ¾-inch sleeve details like cuffs or small ruffles that will show off your lower arms in style.
3) Romantic Florals - If you work in a less conservative environment where business casual rules, then feel free to add a touch of flair with a floral skirt or blouse. Pair the soft flowing or pencil style floral with a tucked-in blouse or short jacket to jazz up your look. Ruffled or soft flowing blouses and knit tops are also going to be everywhere this season for dressy to casual wear. If you are a top leader within your organization and this style works for you, my suggestion is that you wear smaller ruffles on a beautiful blouse - or smaller floral prints in a great scarf. Wearing business apparel that is too romantic can inadvertently send the wrong message that women are weak, and I want you to arrive at your corner office in style but with grace and power.
4) America is Feeling Blue - Blue is America's favorite color, and this year the color blue is bigger than it's been in years. Choose darker shades of blue like navy to exude professionalism, confidence, and trustworthiness. Shop for a navy blue suit or add a medium blue shoe, handbag, or necklace to your ensemble. If you have blue eyes, select a blue silk blouse or small stone necklace in the same shade of blue as your eyes and they will appear larger and brighter. Take care when choosing your shades of blue so that you will look your absolute best. If you have a cool skin tone, for instance, wear deeper, richer shades of navy or cobalt. If you are warmer in your complexion, on the other hand, shop for lighter, brighter shades like teal or turquoise.
5) Notes to Pencil in Regarding Pencil Skirts - The modern pencil styles are out in stores now in some great modern prints and fun colors. The traditional pencil skirt - updated with a new color or print - gives your tailored fashion a bit of classic-hip style. But beware of how different prints in skirts can change or overemphasize the shape of your figure. If you tend to be wider in the hip area, then either skip this trend or keep it simple by wearing skirts in a soft dark neutral like black, navy, or brown - and reserve the wearing of your fun prints for the upper half of your body. If you have small tapered hips, however, you can have fun by adding a small print or a lighter solid color in your pencil skirt and you'll be delightfully fashion-forward for the coming season.
I hope you've enjoyed my latest professional trends report and find yourself ready to shop and explore to find a few new pieces to add to your wardrobe. It's all about versatility this year - so before you head out to add a few items, first review your existing spring wardrobe and look for colors and prints that will maximize their wear and usefulness. You definitely have to discover a trend that speaks to your authentic style and personality. Then you can wear it in strategic doses around the office to project an innovative sense of forward fashion and polished professionalism.

How To Wear Long Boots With Style
Long boots can be an intimidating style to carry especially for those who do not consider themselves to be fashionably adventurous. But, with a little help you find that they might actually work for you. You might realize, with a little prodding, that it could be just be a matter of knowing what to pair it with and knowing what kind of styles would be a good buy for you. If you have always wanted to incorporate them into your wardrobe, here are a few pointers that will help you see through the daunting task of wearing long boots with style, finesse, confidence and pizzazz.
The first thing that you need to consider, when buying long boots, is the heels. Long boots with high heels will make any figure look taller and more appealing. High-heeled long boots are best worn with boot-cut jeans, dark trousers or flared pants. It can also look good on knee-length skirts or lengths that stop just below the knee.
Slouch boots can also be perfect with skin tight jeans, tights or leggings. They would also look great on flowing long dresses. The key is to find the right length and height of the slouch boots that would look and feel comfortable with you.
In choosing colors for your long boots, the safest choices would be ones that are in black, brown, wine or cognac. These styles can easily be paired with wardrobe pieces that you are likely to already own. You can also consider purchasing fleece-lined boots that can be worn during the cold season and realize that you don't have to sacrifice style with functionality.
Knowing which styles of long boots to buy and which kinds of wardrobe to wear them with will go a long way in making your first few choices. And to help you decide which ones would suit you, it would be a lot of help to go to a store to try out different styles so that you can explore your own signature taste for fashion.
Once you have gotten over the hardest part of buying long boots you might then eventually feel comfortable wearing them. In time, you can actually enjoy wearing as many trendy styles that you want in your everyday outfits. You no longer have to feel bad about not being able pull off any look that you feel like wearing. You can then begin to be the fashionable individual that you have always hoped you would be.

The Best and Most Comfortable Boots This Winter
As any woman who has worn heels for hours on end knows, soles reach a breaking point. And last weekend as we made our way down the city streets as the Halloween festivities came to a close, my sister and I could not take another step in our heels.
I set out on a mission this week to find the most comfortable, fashionable and affordable fall and winter boots to share with you. Over-the-Knee, flats, slouchy, rubber and biker boots are all in style. And don't forget booties and faux fur embellished boots. There is a style for everyone this season.
If you're going to invest in a pair of boots, decide if you usually wear black or do you stick to neutral tones? In that case, go with a brown pair. If you plan on wearing them often with tights and jeans throughout winter, stick to boots without a heel so you can walk in them all day. I stopped into TJ Maxx and saw shelves of designer boots at more than 50 percent off the retail price. Stores like H&M and Forever 21 also have all of this season's hot footwear trends.
The most comfortable pair I've ever owned is a pair of black, leather over-the-knee Franco Sarto boots. They offer a big selection of all styles and Report Footwear makes super stylish affordable boots if you're looking for slouchy boots or a pair of trendy thigh highs with a heel. Both can be found at stores like Macy's, Nordstroms and online. If you prefer online shopping, try Zappos.com which offers free shipping both ways.
Wellington boots, or Wellies, are a great choice for kids, teens and anyone who hates hopping over puddles on rainy days. Yep, rubber boots are in nearly every store and you can choose from a neutral forest green color, a bright pink design or a variety of patterns from zebra to zig zag print.
Guys can get in on the boot action too. American Eagle has a big selection of fall and winter footwear including a Trek Boot on sale for less than . Or for a stylish and casual pair, try Timberlands in the classic Wheat Nubuck shade.
Before you buy boots, try them both on and walk around the shoe section. If you're already noticing your big toe is aching or your heels are headed into a blizzard of blisters, slip them off and continue the search. And if you find footwear you just can't live without despite the pain, like a five inch black suede bootie, then perhaps it's time to visit the doctor. Yep, Dr. Scholl's is always accepting new patients in the foot care section of your local drugstore. You'd be surprised how many effective insoles and inserts are on the market. Massaging gel insoles on a cold winter day sounds like my cup of tea. This solution with also come in handy for the next battle of the boots.
