Blog: Crossroads Style

As we begin to rearrange our closets for the fall season, we will all come across certain pieces that we wish we didn’t have to give up just because there are temperature and tonal changes on the horizon. I used to agonize over putting my white booties, cream blouses and crisp white jeans away until the next year, all because of a silly fashion rule that ruled wearing white after Labor Day as a fashion faux pas. Don’t let this outdated fable rule your style anymore. See below why wearing white after Labor Day is definitely a “do!”

Nothing more classic than a crisp white button-down.

White goes so well with neutrals.

… and with bold vibrant colors.

There’s nothing quite like an all-white ensemble.

A white tee is a year-round essential.

White booties add just the right amount of chic to your casual outfit.

We deserve to wear our comfortable trainers all year.

The 4th of July is only two days away and I love a holiday that graces us with a theme for playing dress up! The holidays’ colors help narrow down your available pieces to wear and then it’s up to you and the vibe you want to convey to put them together in a way that is comfortable and festive, without ending up looking like the American flag.
I’ve taken to Instagram to round up some holiday dressing inspiration so that you don’t have to. From monochrome to color explosion, there is a 4th of July outfit below that will surely inspire your holiday dressing.

Ahead, we’re going to show you six different outfits that you can wear for Valentine’s Day. Scroll on for some sweet outfit inspiration.

Opt-Out of Red

If you’re looking to steer clear of the typical red, white or pink outfits for Galentine’s Day brunch, choose a dress with ultra-feminine details like ruffles or cut-outs.

Take a look at 7 last minute Valentine’s Day outfits to throw on no matter what your plans are this year.

Glam Dinner

Who says that it’s overrated to love Valentine’s Day and get all glammed up for a date night? Throw on your most fabulous, over the top dress to celebrate your love!

Shine On

Remix those sequins, sparkles, or metallics that you typically reserve for New Year’s Eve.

New Year’s Eve is the biggest fashion holiday of the year. Anything goes: sequins, velvet, statement pieces, prints, metallics! But after 6 weeks of indulging, family and friend parties, traveling, and holiday stress, dressing to the nines might be a bit overwhelming.  Not to fret, it is possible to dress comfortably and festive to celebrate the last of 2018 and welcome in the new year.  Take a look at 5 ways to go from comfortable to comfortable chic with a festive twist for New Year’s Eve.

A metallic silk slip dress with strappy heels may sound perfect for kissing the year goodbye, but save yourself the pain of sore feet and bitter cold by pairing a slip dress with sneakers and a chunky knit.

Sequins are an essential part of New Year’s Eve. Skip the too tight mini dress and go for a comfortable midi skirt and a seasonal knit with simple sneakers.

Nothing says holiday like the luxe feeling of velvet. Find a relaxed fitting velvet suit and pair it with flats or, you guessed it, sneakers, for a festive outfit that feels like pajamas.

An easy way to add drama for a celebratory New Year’s Eve look is to layer a sheer dress over pants or biker shorts over a bralette.

Add metallic accents to instantly elevate your outfit from casual chic to casual festive.
