The Sephora giveaway is still going on. Everyone is welcome to enter. I love reading everyone’s beauty product picks. Keep them coming and good luck to all!
Accessories is another great way to uplift your look. By switching out your sunglasses, changing your handbag or throwing on a piece of fur you can create an entirely different look. Don’t be afraid to wear or buy  vintage fur if price is a question. You can buy a great vintage mink Etsy for less than or near the price of a jacket. Nothing beats a mink stole on a winter night!

Today I paired brown against brown again. As I’ve mentioned many times, I love anything that helps elongate the body.  Besides that, I’m a huge fan of monochromatic looks. Brown on brown can be matronly and boring if you don’t have the right accessories with the look.  I would recommend styling with something unexpected. Using textures and bold colored accessories to brighten up the look and make it more playful and fashion forward is an easy way to go. And if you are styling this look for work, I would add a large bag. It can be brown or a fun color. Remember: a monochromatic look is a great opportunity to use the look as a backdrop for accessories that might seem too loud or too bright to use otherwise!

This purple burn-out silk top is part of the N I N I collection. I was inspired by this shade because purple is my mother’s favorite color. Of all the rich jewel tones available, purple is the color that looks great on everyone. This blouse is simple yet the point of the front edge makes it more interesting and the sheerness of the fabric adds sex appeal. I love how this blouse feels and I’m just obsessed with this. It looks amazing with wide legged jeans, leather leggings or even with a skinny trouser for office wear.

We’re taking special orders for this blouse. Feel free to send me an email at nini@ninistyle.com.

Wearing: purple blouse from my collection, Alexander Wang velvet & pearls jacket, Alexander McQueen clutch, vintage necklace, “Bianca” J Brand wide legged jeans.

As I mentioned, I’m really excited about all the attention and love the wide leg pant is getting from the fashion community this season. And as those of you who have read this blog for a while know, I’m a huge fan of buying classic items that stay with you for years and come in and out of style. These pants are a great example: I got them a while back and held on to them because I thought they had the potential to be a classic item. I’m happy that their time to shine is here. Instead of breaking up the ivory by wearing it with a different color I prefer to pair it with the same color tone and by not deviating from keep it more modern also helps with elongated the body.

Two problems are really common if you don’t pair it back with the right tops or have the length too short can make you look shorter. My tips for when you get it hem. Be sure to have it as long as you can and put it back with the tallest wedges in your closet. I suggest .5″ off the back of your heels is a perfect hem.

Today, I paired my trousers with a loose sweater because I want a relaxed look. Wide leg trousers also would be pretty back with a nice ivory cashmere turtle neck sweater and some bold jewelry or even a strapless corset and thrown on some fur for a night out or cocktail events.

Do you remember getting your first match-stick, skinny leg jeans a couple years ago? They’ve been all the rage for some time now so it is only natural that a new cut would come back into style. This fall, you need to add a new silhouette to your collection of stretchy, amazing fitting jeans. Although I own a couple of pairs of black jeans fitting that description, and many of my clients and friends do too, this year everyone should be buying a pair of wide legged denim trousers.Wide legged trousers are a great addition to any wardrobe. When the skinny leg became a huge fad, many designers struggled to make the silhouette fit well for every size and height.

We shorter girls had to dress the skinny leg just right because otherwise we would appear even shorter! That’s why I’m so happy that wide legged denim and denim trousers are back: I’m a huge fan of anything that helps me elongate my legs.I prefer dark denim vs light denim because lighter denim seems to accentuate the thighs, making them look bigger. Dark denim can often look more polished and that helps you transition the look from day to night. Sometimes jeans can be difficult to dress up and I think it is easier with dark denim. What kind of denim do you prefer?

I’m wearing the Bianca style J-brand jeans. This pair has an amazing stretch to them and the high waist helps to lengthen the legs even more. I’ve seen a lot of girls of wearing wide leg denim with a simple
tee shirt and blazer. If you want to have a little fun with the silhouette, try wide leg trousers with a short dress or cocoon dress for a dramatic day time look or with a bright leopard print top that has long
sleeves.
