Readers, friends, OMG alert-
I apologize for being MIA the last few weeks but it is only because I have been doing one of my absolute favorite things. I have been laying cozy on the couch with blankets, binge watching Scandal. Relaxation at its finest in corStyle's household.
I may be one of the last people in my circle of friends to not watch Scandal, however it is a fantastic show. Scandal in a nutshell is about Olivia Pope, played by the gorgeous Kerry Washington and is based in DC. She is known to the world as a woman who can fix any scandalous political situation. She also has had previous work with the Government, specifically with the United States President. Each episode is about different situations gone wrong and Ms. Pope and her associates try to fix the sticky messes famous politicos get themselves into. Quite entertaining to say the least.
You may be wondering, how does this tie into fashion Cor? Well, for anyone who watches the show, they know how impeccably dressed Olivia Pope is. Some brilliant mind over at The Limited, (which is a store I haven't been into, let alone shopped in for over 10 years) decided to create an entire line based upon her characters looks. They worked together with the shows costume designers, Lyn Paolo and Elliot Staples to create strong, powerful looks for the everyday woman. If you haven't had a chance to see it you must take a peek at Scandal Collection- The Limited. I saw a first look in W Magazine and it intrigued me enough to go in person to see it for myself. I absolutely loved it. It's the perfect way to fashionably up the office ante or to chicly transition to fall. Lets take a look below at what they've got going on!
This amazing cape trench coat is the perfect essential staple for Fall. The off white is easy to pull off because its more of a cream winter white. The belt cinches the waste ever so softly. I can imagine this look would be amazing on most body types. If you walked into a board meeting or a social gala, you would command the room in this. This look can go anywhere, even to the court room. Only problem is, I wish it came in more than one color. A link to purchase this beauty is here!
I tried on this amazing petal pink sheath dress in the store and let me tell you, it is super flattering! I absolutely love that it has the classic look of a sheath dress but also has a small peplum touch. You all know how much I love the peplum look. This dress could carry you from day to night without any problems. It has small shoulder pads sewn in to create a bit more structured look. I love this dress. It comes in pink and green and I don't think you could go wrong in either color. Purchase here!
If you are in the market for a sleek date night dress look no further. This dress is beyond amazing and it has such a simple design! I think that its mainly the placing of the black fabric that takes the look over the top. This dress looks like several looks Olivia has worn throughout the show however I love that they made it more for the everyday woman. At least take a peek at what the back of this dress looks like, its so pretty! Purchase here!
If you haven't seen Scandal, I highly suggest binge watching season 1 on Netflix. If you haven't seen the collection, go out and add some chic pieces into your Fall wardrobe.
Until next time fashion friends,
