While I don't like to give away all of my secrets (actually, I am quite easily convinced), I must share a few key wardrobe staples with you that are on mega sale right now. Such as these K Karl Lagerfeld classic straight-leg jeans, originally $175, now $52.50. This PII draped jersey tank, originally $98, now $34.30. And this American Retro technical-taffeta tunic dress, originally $310, now $108.50. All of these pieces are timeless and easy to mix into your wardrobe.

Hurry if you want them, though, as they will not hang around for long. Trust me ... I've found out the hard way on numerous occasions. You can find these garments and more at theOutnet.com.

 

Yours truly made a guest appearance on Fox News Rising's Wardrobe Wednesday, discussing how to solve those everyday fashion emergencies!

It's January. 2010, I might add. It's high time you focus on, well ... you. After all, you spent the last three months juggling home, work and the craziness of the holidays. Perhaps even the entire last year doing everything for everyone but yourself. Therefore, I declare January 'Make Life Easier' month.

That list you've been working on with regard to your wardrobe? Let's start crossing things off, item by item. There's no better time to bring me into your closet to purge those items that no longer serve you. A fresh perspective on your existing wardrobe to coordinate outfits that you probably never thought of. Not only will you gain more mileage out of your wardrobe, you will be re-energized and motivated to express your style. Time to clear the clutter!

Perhaps you want to focus on identifying your personal style. With a few style exercises, we'll channel your inner stylista. We’ll discuss your lifestyle and how it currently relates to your wardrobe. We’ll determine potential gaps in your closet to help make the transition to a fulfilled wardrobe a smooth and pleasant journey.

Once you have a well-equipped closet suited to your lifestyle, let's ensure those gaps, large or small, are filled. A shopping trip may be just what you need. And January sales make it an ideal time to get this accomplished. When you shop with me, you will learn about style, cut and, the ever important, fit. Only items that suit your style, body shape and coloring make it to the cash register. Those mistakes hanging in your closet that you kick yourself over ... you will never make those mistakes again after shopping with me.

January is all about you. Let's make life easier for you this month. At least when it comes to your wardrobe.

I don't do sweats. Don't own them and never will. Lounge pants, on the other hand ... yes. One pair — my Bangalore pants from YOGAMAT.

I must confess, my stylish friends. I lived in my Bangalore pants through the Thanksgiving holiday. Don't get me wrong, I did wear my version of the Thanksgiving lounge outfit I put together for you. I also wore comfy layered tees with my favorite Goldsign Desire stretch flare jeans (that, by the way, have been discontinued, which has forever saddened me and I'd give just about anything to get my hands on a new pair).

What's so great about the Bangalore lounge pant is their versatility. They look great with running attire, they look great under tunics and shirt dresses, and, it goes without saying, they look and function fabulously in yin yoga and pilates class. YOGAMAT also makes my favorite yoga pant for hot yoga, the Pondicherry. The same genius fabrics are utilized so they breathe, they hold up wash after wash (they still look new) and they move with me. If you are an avid yoga practitioner, buy several pairs of your favorites. You will live in them and absolutely love them!
