Donna Reed Style Note- Mary’s Campaign

8 Nov

office-wear-thumb

Donna disapproved of Mary’s sophisticated outfit in this episode, and it is a bit much for high school. For the office however, nothing is more professional and perfect than a pencil skirt and the right top.

This is a modern take on Mary’s ensemble perfect for the modern career woman. It is a striking combination of elegance and edge. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself strutting down the sidewalk like it’s your personal runway.

Shown Here:

Skirt – BCBG – $278.00

Top – Anthropologie – $88.00

Earrings – Tiffany & Co -$3,300.00

Bracelet – J. Crew – $70.00

Bag – Zappos – $302.00

Shoes – Piperlime – $189.00

Donna Reed Style Note – Have Fun

15 Oct

date night

Mary changed twice for her date. I actually liked the first dress, the one she discarded best. Of course, I am a sucker for a fitted bodice and a full skirt. While I would certainly wear this dress as is I realize it’s not necessarily the most fashion forward. Here’s an idea for a more fashion-forward date night outfit.

For a night out with the hubby I like to look pretty but also be comfy. Living in SF we walk a lot so comfy shoes are a must, so are layers. I really like this for a date night look.

Show Here:

  • Dress – Boden – $138.00
  • Jacket – Levi’s – $69.50
  • Shoes – Piperlime – $135.00
  • Bag – Kate Spade – $395.00
  • Tights – Gap – $12.50
  • Bracelet – Tiffany & Co. – $675
  • Earrings – Stella & Dot – $39.00

Donna Reed Style Note – Mary’s Double Date

7 Oct

Modern Outfit

In this episode Mary has the loveliest prom dress. It is achingly romantic and who can’t use a little a romance in their life?

While I’d love to live in a world where this dress could be worn everyday, it just doesn’t seem practical. However, using this dress as inspiration we can put together a wearable ensemble that maintains the romantic appeal.

Shown Here:

  • Earrings – Tiffany & Co. – $325
  • Cardigan – Piperlime – $98
  • Blouse – Anthropologie – $98
  • Bag – Sundance Catalog – $198
  • Skirt – Boden USA – $58
  • Leggings – Gap – $12.50
  • Boots – John Fluevog – $285
