Hello, El Niño...What to Wear on a Rainy Day!

I had all my West Coast Fashionistas in mind while writing this post!

My Boots: The North Face 

I have had them for years and they are my go-to for rain and snow.

If you are like me the second you see (or even hear) rain you just want to stay in your cozy clothes and stay indoors. Unfortunately, especially for us working adults, this is not always an option. So here is what I did...I went on the hunt for some stylish rainy day essentials to help y'all out of the house on those cold and wet (hopefully not also windy) days. 

Packing for Apres Ski

I am super excited because I have a ski trip to South Lake Tahoe, with some of my favorite humans, on the books for February. Other than bachelorette parties and weddings I don't remember the last time we did a group trip (especially one that includes our hubbies). In fact, we may never have done this before. I am thinking there is a new tradition on the horizon.

This is the West Shore (where we usually go with my family)

In typical Mavelle Style fashion I am already thinking about what to pack; especially for Apres Ski...priorities people!

Wear White After Labor Day!

It is said time and time again, "No White After Labor Day!" 

However, some rules are meant to be broken, well actually more like bent, especially when it come to fashion While you may want to skip the head-to-toe crisp white look between Labor Day and Memorial Day you don't however have to give up the "color" white all together. 

Here are my 5 tips to wearing white after Labor Day:

1. Skip crisp white for the main piece and choose something with warmer undertones. For instance: a crisp white tee works with an off-white blazer
2. Unless it is winter white, off white, ivory, cream or some shade other than white white skip the head-to-toe look
3. Pair your white pants or white blazer with tans, creams, browns, blacks, grays or even leopard to make it feel a little more fall-ish
4. Bundle up. Just by adding a big cozy sweater or scarf you make the outfit work beyond Labor Day
5. Put away the white pumps/heels and pair your white ensembles with nude, navy, black, gray (the options are endless really) heels/pumps or a great fall/winter boot
