Narciso Rodriguez for Kohls - Part 11 (Christmas Outfit)


I lied!  The last post is NOT my last on the Narciso Rodriguez for Kohl's post series.

I knew I wanted to wear this vintage red Dior knit for Christmas dinner over at a friend's house.
But instead of pairing it with jeans,
I decided to wear it with this Narciso Rodriguez for Kohl's tuxedo leggings instead.

Hope everyone had a joyous, blessed and Merry Christmas!

Narciso Rodriguez for Kohls - Part 10 (Layering a Sheath)


This concludes my my Narciso Rodriguez for Kohls post!
...At least for now, I still have a few items I have not worn yet from the haul but
most of them need some minor alteration so I'll debut them here once I get that done! 

I'm happy to say I'm ending this post series with this black peplum top 
which happens to be the most versatile piece I got from the collection!

Narciso Rodriguez for Kohls - Part 9 (Dress as a Top)


My closet rule for dresses is they have to be  worn as a dress, a skirt and a top.
So one piece easily yields 3 distinct outfits!

Case in point:  This Narciso Rodriguez for Kohls dress with assymetrical neckline that
 I recently wore here and now worn as a top in this post.

One word of caution though when wearing a dress as a top: 
Make sure the dress hemline is secured and won't show!  
A few safety pins should do just the trick.

Narciso Rodriguez for Kohls - Part 8 (It's a Switch!)


This is exactly the same outfit as here, except I wore the dress as a skirt,
and I wore the layering top over the dress instead of underneath it.   

These 2 pieces are perfect for traveling light on business trips because they instantly create 2 distinct outfits! 

...Though I still can't beat my old record here
when I wore a skirt in 3 ways: as a skirt,  as a halter top and as a scarf!

Narciso Rodriguez for Kohls - Part 7 (A Sheath Dress to Drive the Point Home!)


I thrive in giving meeting presentations.
The bigger the meeting, the more I invite the challenge!

My secret: I always make sure that my outfit makes for one bold statement long before 
I even go through the meeting agenda.   

This sheath dress accomplished all that and more.
It's the best $45 career investment I've ever made! 
At one point, I even almost freaked out when I realized all eyes in the boardroom
were all on me!
No iPhone fidgeting, no keyboard tapping -- just everyone's complete and
undivided attention -- on me, on what I have to say, and surely, on what I wore!

Narciso Rodriguez for Kohls - Part 6 (My Vest Friend)


This gray Rachel Roy vest is indeed a very good investment.  
It's office proper, warm, comfy and structured, all with a little bit of an interesting 
twists added in: 
like the pleated back and the slanted pleats in front. 
Totally worth the splurge!  

Paired with my new Narciso Rodriguez for Kohls peplum top, 
this little fashion blogger can't be any happier!

Narciso Rodriguez for Kohls - Part 5 (All About the Neckline)


What won me over instantly with this dress is the assymetrical neckline --
I love that it highlights the collarbone without flashing too much skin.
It's sexy in a very classy way!

Narciso Rodriguez for Kohls - Part 4 (Colorblock Cling)


When I first tried on this Narciso Rodriguez for Kohls colorblock dress, I was instantly smitten.  
Loved the mulberry and burgundy colorblock combo! 
The black satin ribbon also added a nice highlight to the cinched waist. 

However, I got a little bit self-conscious when I got to work realizing that the dress is very clingy!! 
Good thing, my trusty pashmina is with me to save the day!
