When it's freezing in the morning but 60 degrees by noon, you need an in between jacket. We lived in bulky puffers and fuzzy teddy coats all winter, but now it's time for something lighter. Build your outfit with a bold statement jacket.
Hidden Distressed Oversized Jacket
Update your in-between season jacket with a denim one. Stand out from the 50 other girls in denim and black with this oversized distressed jacket. The bigger fit is perfect for layering over light sweaters and tees. You can also wear it under a colorful puffer or oversized blazer.

It features a collar, buttons all the way down, and lined with 100% cotton to keep you warm. The fringe details are so chic and sophisticated, this is a must have for making a statement.
Ready for crop tops and tanks? You're in luck because sweater weather is almost over. Don't get too excited, it's still a high of 40 these days. To satisfy your tank top fix, go for a knit style. A knit top is a must for keeping you warm through the end of winter and transitioning to spring.
Gab & Kate Maci Halter Knit Crop Top
This halter is a must going into the new season. The knit fabric and fitted bodice hugs your body keeping you warm on winter nights. Pair it with a leather jacket for extra warmth and layering.

Rails Yuli Sweater Vest
For the girl that is always hot and cold, you need this sweater vest. In nautical navy and white stripes, this top goes with everything. Layer it with a button down or basic long sleeve from now to April. Then when it warms up, wear it on its own with mom shorts for a trendy yet classic look. Add pops of color with a fun bag or claw clip.
Start storing away your thermal leggings and leather pants. Spring calls for loose legged pants, so stock up and style them now. Relaxed bottoms are perfect for warm March days and cool spring nights. Pair lightweight pants with a heavier knit for a transitional look.

These pants scream "the Hamptons." Take these pants from day to night and season to season. They feature wide legs, satin material, and a slit at the ankle. Wear them now with a long sleeve tee or cropped sweater and hightop sneakers. When the weather warms up, put on a crochet halter and strappy heeled sandals.
Vervet Super High Rise Straight Ankle Slit Jeans
Light wash jeans are essential for the upcoming season. Swap your baggy sweats for these straight leg jeans. The light distressing and slit at the ankle make these casual enough for sneakers but can also be dressed up with heeled sandals.

Transition from cold nights in to warm days out and about in these sweats. These cozy joggers have a relaxed fit to keep you warm and on trend. Look effortlessly cool bundled in the matching aqua bra top and sweatshirt. For the sunny spring days you're running around doing errands, pair these with a basic white tee and baseball cap.
We live in basics all year round. They're perfect for layering and lounging in. From white tanks to gold hoops, you can never have enough. Upgrade worn out winter thermals for fresh spring linen and cotton. Jewelry can transition any look from casual to elevated, so layer on some new shiny pieces.
Rails Ellis Top
Light layers are the key to surviving those in between weather days. This classic button down will keep you warm for the end of winter. Worn with light wash jeans, you can do a monochromatic look. Or layer on top a sweater vest and black pants for a business casual fit. When the weather warms up, throw the button down over a crop top and denim shorts.
Z Supply Jenna Bustier Tank
The next time your friend asks "what are you wearing tonight?", reach for this cute black top. You can never have enough basic tank tops, but elevate your collection with this bustier. The soft cotton fabric is comfy enough to layer under a blazer for a girls night out. We'll be seeing a lot of corset-bustier style tops this spring, so stock up now in the black and white.

The best day of the week is pay day! Instead of spending all your money in one place, save it. If you have a goal number or something you're saving up for -like a car, apartment, or Chanel bag- you need to have a savings account. When you get a direct deposit, put a portion of the paycheck into savings. You're not going to wake up with $10,000 in it, but over time you'll see it start to add up. You don't have to put the whole check in, but at least 10%. If you use mobile banking, there's a way to set up automatic payments so you don't even have to think about it. Keep saving and you'll have that large flap bag in no time.
Another easy way to save money is by making your coffee at home. If you're trying to budget, sacrifice the $6 iced coffee that always makes you late to work anyway. Think about it- a medium iced vanilla latte with almond milk 5 times a week is $30. In a month you're spending $120 on coffee. That could be a pair of shoes or birthday presents for your kids. Get some travel tumblers and recreate your favorite overpriced drink. Starbucks makes their own bottled iced coffee, so you can add in your special milks or fun flavored creamers. If you really want to upgrade your coffee bar, invest in a Nespresso machine. They'll last a lifetime and are way better than the drive-thru.
Your clothes don't have to be expensive to look good. Creating a capsule wardrobe of interchangeable basics is a great way to save money. Stick to a color palette of pieces so you can mix and match. Collect a few good investment pieces to go along with some lower priced basics. Stock up on white tanks and tees under $40 that can go with every outfit. For looks you want to dress up or down, a button down shirt is essential. Swap your workout leggings for black leather ones; they're a good investment and can be worn with a graphic tee or simple sweater. Sleek bodysuits, straight jeans, cozy neutral sweatshirts, white sneakers, and dainty jewelry are pieces you need in your wardrobe. They're items you'll reach for everyday for every occasion.
The next time you pull out your credit card to online shop, think about all of the clothes with tags hanging in your closet. Stop buying one-time wear pieces that are just trending at the moment or you got for super cheap. While investment pieces can be pricier, they are worth every penny. A good investment piece is something you'll wear 100 times for 100 years. You feel good and look good in it. The best investment pieces everyone needs are good jeans, a stunning bag, timeless jewelry, and a quality coat. If you find jeans that fit perfectly, get them in every wash and style. The price per wear is worth it because you'll never want to take them off. Buying a designer bag can be a huge purchase, but if you work hard you deserve to treat yourself. A nice bag can make your entire outfit and last a lifetime if you take care of it. Luxury bags are also good investments because they appreciate in value over time, so if you had to sell it down the line it'll be worth more. Some things like a good coat and classic gold hoops are worth the money. Investing in your closet is investing in yourself.

]]>Wearing a cute outfit or ordering a new top can boost your whole mood and give you the confidence to be 'that girl'. When you look good, you feel good. Here are some styles that will make you feel your absolute best!
Finding the perfect pair of jeans can be hard, but once you find them you never want to take them off. Wearing jeans that fit you in all the right spots can make you feel like the main character of your day. Good denim can elevate your whole wardrobe and even mood on a bad day. Whether you feel cool in loose mom jeans or sexy in slim flares, here are some styles that make us feel good.
These jeans will give you legs for days. The slit flare keeps you on trend and the high waist hugs your hips showing off your curves. These are perfect to wear when you want to look effortlessly put together.
You don't have to be a New Yorker to wear all black outfits. Strutting in black denim, a black chunky sweater, black puffer and platform boots can make you feel like the coolest person on the street. A straight pair of jeans is also a must have if you want to be comfortable throughout the day.
Your clothing is a form of expressing your emotions; when you wear something sexy it shows you feel confident. Even if you're not feeling your best, throwing on a cute top can help you fake it till you make it. Wearing something that shows off your beautiful body is the best feeling. Whether you want to dress up for a girl's night out or just because, these tops will get you lots of compliments and a confidence boost.
If you want to be sexy but covered, you need this top. The sheer plaid patterned fabric is subtly sexy, while the long sleeves keep it sophisticated. The corset inspired stitching and silhouette accentuate your waist. Worn with a lace bralette and leather pants, this is sure to give you the confidence you need on a night out.
Sometimes changing up your usual going out top can change your whole mood. When your friend texts you, "what are you wearing tn?", don't reply with, "a cute black top and jeans." Tonight you're wearing a pop of color. This red halter is perfect for every body type because it has an adjustable chain strap halter and the ruching on the sides gives a fitted silhouette. Throw a leather jacket on top and you'll feel amazing.
On the days you have nothing to wear, a good basic comes in handy. Wearing a simple white tee with jeans can make you feel minimalistic and put together. Plain tops and bottoms are much easier to style compared to trendy one-time wear pieces. Having a few reliable tees and pants in your wardrobe makes getting dressed in the morning a little less hectic. These are the basics we can't live without:
A classic white button down can be worn in many different ways to match your many different vibes. Be the best dressed at your office in this top and a leather blazer or layer it with an oversized sweater vest for a trendy OOTD.
You're going to want this tee in every color. A top that can be dressed up or down is a must. Starting the morning with a good outfit sets the tone for the rest of the day. This shirt is the perfect way to start your day because it goes with everything and looks good on everyone. Pair it with your favorite workout leggings or go-to jeans.
You don't have to spend a ton of money to look and feel like a celebrity. Commando leggings are a good investment not only for your closet, but for yourself. The faux leather bottoms elevate any look and make you feel like the coolest person in the room. Take a lounge look to luxe with these leggings.
Sometimes feeling your best means feeling comfortable. After a long day of class or work, all you want to do is grab your favorite sweatpants and lounge on the couch. You feel relaxed and cozy in an oversized hoodie and your fuzzy slippers. These pieces are essential in your self care and confidence.
There's no better feeling than taking off your jeans and slipping into sweats. These buttery soft sweats are the cure to your weekday slump or Sunday Scaries. They're cozy enough to lounge in all day and cute enough to wear for a Trader Joe's run.
Wearing lounge doesn't mean you can't look put together. Feeling good about your outfit makes you feel good about yourself. For a cozy confident look, wear a matching sweat set (like this crew and wide leg pant). Monochromatic colors make any outfit look chic and sophisticated, even if you are wearing fleece. To feel good and look good, layer this set with a chunky scarf, lots of jewelry, and colorful sneakers.
It's important to feel good from head to toe. Accessories can make your whole outfit and mood. When you don't feel like dressing up, jewelry or a blow out can elevate your whole look. Shiny jewels and fun hair accessories can give you the extra boost of confidence you need to get through the day.
Need to feel put together and your best? Put your hair up in a claw clip. If you've skipped a few washes, pulling your hair back in a bun can make you feel like you have your life together. Feeling good starts from the top; grab your Dyson AirWarp or Revlon brush, give yourself a blowout, and finish it off with a fun clip.

Ciara did leather on leather with a twist. She showed up to the DundasWorld X Revolve show in a green corset and tennis skirt ensemble. We can't wait to recreate this look.
We know leather leggings are a must for fall, but what about leather tops? This is definitely not your basic black long sleeve. To look like an influencer the next time you strut the street or go for dinner, wear with jeans and heeled booties.
For a sexier take on DB's street style, try this cutout leather dress. When the weather starts to drop, throw on an oversized blazer. This is the perfect outfit for a girl's night out.
Recreate Danielle's look down to the very last detail. Add some sparkle with a luxe tennis choker and chain link. These are staple pieces you can wear all season.
As we've seen from the NYFW street style, corsets are huge this fall. This olive crop looks super sexy with high waisted jeans.
For Ciara's leather cheerleader look, try a ruffled leather skirt. You can go super edgy pairing it with boots and a leather jacket, or pair it with a simple cardigan.

]]>For Miami nights or a first date, jeans are a must. Mom jeans or ones with a side slit are perfect for a night out because they act as a canvas to the rest of your outfit. To dress up jeans, pair with an open back bodysuit, layers of jewelry, and a low heeled sandal. For a more conservative but elevated look, wear a pretty blouse, hoops, and heeled booties. You can even wear black or patchwork jeans to switch things up.

Going to the supermarket but all your leggings are dirty? Don't feel like you're in a ballgown when putting on jeans- you can still keep it casual. To dress down jeans for a casual day out, pair them with your favorite white sneakers, a comfy sweatshirt or plain tank, and a baseball cap to hide your 3-day unwashed blowout. Anything you'd wear with sweats or leggings you can wear with loose fitting jeans to elevate a casual look.
For a in between seasons kind of day, you need a denim jacket. It's the perfect layering piece and pulls together any outfit. For a girls brunch, pair a white or denim jacket over a flirty mini dress. You can accessorize with stackable bracelets, a mini bag, and wedges. This takes your basic jean jacket to the next level.
A denim jacket is the perfect throw on. Stay warm while running errands in a jacket and matching sweatsuit and chunky dad shoes. You'll look like a celebrity but feel super comfortable. Bike shorts and an oversized long sleeve tee pair perfectly with a black denim jacket as well.
White jeans make a bold statement, so however you style them you'll look amazing. If you're going on vacation, it's essential to pack white jeans or shorts. Pair strappy sandals with a silky crop top for a sexy dinner outfit. Add on a necklace for extra shine. With slip on shoes and a soft cardigan, you can also look a little fancy in denim.
Dress down your crisp white jeans with subtle pops of color. Add a tie dye hoodie (or tie dye jeans!) to keep things fun yet casual. A multi colored button down and sneakers makes for a perfect casual lunch. And a black v-neck with layers of necklaces can make a simple outfit look a little more elevated.
Denim shorts are usually a beach staple, but did you know they can be dressed up? Pair high waisted shorts with a simple bodysuit or tank and throw on a blazer. With heeled sandals and pretty rings, you'll be ready to take on the night. Add a printed crop top to your summer wardrobe because they dress up all types of denim, especially shorts.
Live in denim shorts from May-August? Stock up on comfortable and versatile pairs- you can do white, frayed, high rise, or low. Pair them with graphic tees and hightop sneakers for a cool look. For a beach ready outfit, wear jean shorts over your favorite bikini and matching baseball cap. Still simple enough for the beach, but a little more dressed for grabbing lunch, throw on a tie front top to keep you covered.

If your closet and drawers are overflowing, you need to take everything out. This can seem overwhelming, but to assess the situation it's necessary. Organizing experts from The Home Edit do this to determine what's clutter, trash, and what's actually useful. When taking everything out and putting into categories, you might discover a favorite shirt you forgot you had or realize you have way too many black leggings.
Put the clothes, shoes, and even accessories into categories; a pile for jeans, leggings, basic tanks, sweaters, sneakers etc.
Over the seasons we accumulate a lot of clothes, especially if stocking up on the latest trends. Tie-dye lounge sets and super puff sleeves were huge last spring and into winter. Of course keep transitional pieces that last every season, but if you haven't touched those sweats since March 2020, it's time to toss.
Marie Kondo's mantra is "if it doesn't spark joy" toss it; as fashion lovers and clothes hoarders, this is hard to hear. However, we need to stop creating fake "what if" scenarios of why we NEED to keep a bandage skirt from middle school. No, there will never be a themed party you need this for. Toss. Here are some reasons to toss an item while spring cleaning:
Put your heavy winter coats in storage or the back of the closet. With the in between season, it's too hot for a puffer but still jacket weather. A jean jacket is the perfect layering piece you need. Fill your closet with white, classic denim, or a print. Oversized blazers are not only super trendy right now, but can last a few seasons. Transition your winter blazer into a spring outfit with denim shorts and heeled sandals. Fashion experts are wearing lightweight matching suit sets all season for a clean, sophisticated look.
Trade your worn out black uniform for something fresh. Spring is all about pastel and vibrant hues. Freshen up your closet with some tie-dye crop tops or floral tanks. Fashionistas are pairing bright tops with basic bottoms like jeans or a trendy tennis skirt. We're obsessed with baby pink and butter yellow pops of color. Adding these to your collection is a must this spring.

For braving outdoor dining during the winter, we bundled up in heavy, itchy sweaters. If the thought of putting on a polyester turtleneck makes your skin crawl, let it go. This season stock up on softer layers that will still keep you warm. Transition some of your winter neutrals into spring. White and beige are super on trend right now, so pair a soft cardi with a flowy midi skirt. For sunny brunches, throw on a pastel v-neck sweater over a pretty cami. Keep them basic so you can wear them all year round.
Yes, we love a pair of distressed jeans. But when every wash cycle destroys them more and more, it's time to toss. This spring (and just in life), we're buying staple pieces that will last. Even if that means spending a little extra, it's so worth it. Jeans that actually fit and are well made can transform an entire outfit. If they fit, you'll be excited to wear them more. Find a brand that fits best and get a few styles. Toss your middle school skinny jeans- stylists are constantly going for a more relaxed, straight pair.
Put your winter boots under the bed or in the back of your closet. Feature new spring styles in the front so you don't forget about them. Everyone should have a pair of white sneakers, experts suggest. They go with everything- from a dress to jeans. You also NEED the sandals of the season. Ditch the 4 inch heels you wore to a frat formal 3 years ago. Choose comfort and fashion with padded low heel sandals. Designer inspired quilted heels can be found for an affordable price and elevate any spring look. Add neutral loafers, anything strappy, and leather mules to your shoe rotation as well.
DIY tie-dye sweat suits are so last March. Ditch your heavy multi-colored fleece for cool lounge shorts. Oversized lounge shorts are super on trend right now and with the weather warming up, they're a must have. Basic black biker shorts + oversized band tee = the perfect 90s inspired spring look. Wear your lounge inside or out by dressing up in layers of jewelry.
Chunky neon necklaces from middle school had their day, but now it's time to upgrade your jewelry game. You can still layer on lots of jewels, but in a more sophisticated way. Toss anything broken or outdated and stock up on staples you can mix and match. A gold chain link choker is timeless and elevates any look. We're also obsessed with butterflies this spring, so definitely incorporate some into your accessory collection. Stylists are wearing stackable bracelets, black mini bags, and simple hoops all year long to dress up any outfit.
It's time to replace old frat tees and 'lazy Sunday' shirts. Worn out, stained tees sitting in your drawers for nostalgic purposes need to go. Upgrade your t-shirt game with cool graphics. Vintage band tees are a must in your closet this spring; they are so versatile and can make any outfit unique. Our Mix stylists can be found pairing soft graphics with jeans this season.
For an extreme closet makeover, add a few organizing tools to keep it neat and clean. Something as simple as s set of new hangers makes a huge difference. Throw out your flimsy hangers from the dry cleaner and get matching black felt ones. Your clothes will actually stay on the hangers and keep their shape. If you need more shelving but are working with a small space, get some clear plastic/acrylic dividers from Amazon. They look really chic and create a cubby so you can put more stuff in your closet. If you have a shoe addiction, a hanging rack on the door saves prime floor and shelf real estate. You can find cheap ones at Bed Bath or Target. Experts also recommend clear bins. For small accessories or little tops you often neglect, have them in visible sight so you don't forget to wear them.
Don't actually toss your clothes to the trash. Unless it's unwearable or your muddy sneakers from college, you should try to sell or donate what you no longer want.
]]>7:30: First alarm goes off (ugh)
7:45: Instead of hitting snooze 5 times, twice is enough
8:00: Finally get out of bed. Do not scroll on Instagram for an extra 20 minutes. The latest Real Housewives update can wait- do something more productive. Make your way to the bathroom and wash up. Clip your hair back and treat yourself to a soothing eye mask to de-puff from your midnight Love Island binge.
8:15: Move your body or give it a break. Now that you didn't waste 20 minutes scrolling, you have a few extra for yourself. Doing just 10 minutes of fitness can keep you energized for the day. Stretching, yoga, or a low impact Melissa Wood Health arm workout will definitely wake you up. Look on YouTube or Instagram for quick and easy workouts you can do every morning. If you're not into moving, take a moment to meditate. Light a candle to set the mood and think about your goals for the day. Focus on the positives.
8:30: Now you can check your phone! Put on a podcast while getting ready and prepping your morning coffee. If you're working from home or don't have time to grab a $6 latte, be your own barista. A Nespresso machine is a kitchen counter must. But we recommend Starbucks bottled iced coffee; the 48 ounce bottle lasts for a week of lattes and you can put in your own milk and sweetener. On the go? La Colombe cold brew cans are perfect for your commute.
8:40: Usually skip breakfast because you're in a rush to catch the morning Zoom call? Here are quick recipes (that require 0 cooking) to keep you full until lunch.
"Influencer" Toast
This toast doesn't just have a pretty fruit pattern and look good on Instagram. The carbs provide energy for the day and the nut butter is full of healthy fats.
Ingredients:

Beauty Smoothie
This berry smoothie is full of antioxidants and vitamin c to keep your skin looking fresh and bright. One glass will fill you up all morning.

9:00: Time to get dressed.

]]>Spring means warm weather, a boost of serotonin, and a fresh start. New fashion and spending more time outdoors is also a major plus this season. Don't know what to do to celebrate? Here's how to celebrate the first day of spring in a pandemic.
Now that the sun stays out past 5:30, so can you. When it was dark and gloomy, no one wanted to be outside. With warmer weather, the vibes are perfect for eating outdoors. If you're not ready to indoor dine, you don't have to worry about freezing on the sidewalk. Do date night outdoors or brunch with the girls under a gorgeous awning. Restaurants are creating a garden ambiance for guests to enjoy this season.

It's called "Spring Cleaning" for a reason. Do a major closet clean out this week. Pretend you're Carrie Bradshaw in the Sex and the City scene where she decides what to "Take" or "Toss." Have tie dye from last season you don't plan on wearing again? Toss. Ripped sweater from high school you just can't part ways with? Toss please. Now you have a bag for donations and space to fill in your closet! Upgrade your wardrobe with spring pastels, cool jackets, and flirty floral dresses. You know you need them. Think of the great Insta pics and compliments you'll get. Take style inspo from our trend report too!
You don't have to go on a hike to enjoy the outdoors. Soak up the spring sunshine at the park. When it's warm enough, Central Park is just as crowded as the beach. You can have a socially distanced get together here. It's the perfect spot for tanning and hanging with friends. Pack a bag with a blanket, sun glasses, hand sanitizer, and your favorite snacks. Build a charcuterie board if you're feeling extra.
Ditch the Peloton for a minute and go for a real bike ride. This is a COVID safe activity and good for you! Ask your dad to fill the tires in your bike you haven't touched since middle school and get some fresh air. Just like the on a stationary bike, you're burning calories and getting that workout 'high'. You can hear Cody Rigsby in your ear. Ride in your neighborhood, near a scenic route, when the sun sets, or on the boardwalk. It's the ultimate start of spring activity.

You know you're a millennial when going to the farmer's market is a fun activity. It doesn't matter your age though, everyone should visit the farmer's market. This is a COVID safe activity because of mask requirements, social distancing, and the open air. While supporting local growers, you can shop for fresh ingredients. With warmer weather, there will be more weekend/weekday flea markets too. These are fun to check out because you never know what vintage finds you'll score. It's like a treasure hunt; you could stumble upon a designer silk scarf or trendy decor.
Miranda Priestly would argue florals for spring are unoriginal. But they're the ultimate sign it's the new season. You might notice your neighbor gardening colorful plants as it gets warmer. Freshening up the yard is nice on the outside, but what about celebrating spring inside your home? Buy some flowers (for mom, a girlfriend, yourself) to brighten the mood and welcome spring. Mix and match with two bouquets and arrange them in a vase like you've seen on Instagram. Place them next to your bed or on a table as a reminder spring is here and it's time for positive changes.
If you hear ice cream truck music, you know it's spring. Celebrate the first day of spring with a sweet treat. Take a night time walk to your favorite ice cream (or frozen yogurt) spot and enjoy. A warm spring night is perfect ice cream weather. For a midday work break, enjoy lunch devouring an ice cream cone. Go all out with your favorite toppings- you deserve it!

In the beginning of quarantine everyone was going on lots of walks. Walks with the dog, walks with the whole family, walks to escape the family. With it being freezing out all winter, it was hard to go for walks/runs. Now that it's warming up, you can get back outside and move your body. Going for a run is good for your body and mind. With stresses about work, family, and the world, you need a healthy escape. Yeah Netflix is great, but getting outside could be better. Enjoy the Vitamin D and a good podcast before your day starts by going on a run/walk (or to decompress at the end of the day). You'll have a clear mind and feel refreshed.
A fun outdoor activity is vineyard hopping (if you're 21+ of course). Vineyards are enforcing CDC guidelines for keeping visitors safe (like mask wearing when not at your table). With a group of friends, head out east for a sunny day of wine tasting. It's like a mini vacation; you can make a weekend trip out of it and stay at an Airbnb. Put on a cute new dress and celebrate the warm weather.
If you miss being in a crowd of people at a party, you're not alone. This fantasy cannot become reality yet though. If you miss being the hostess with the mostest, you can have your party but at a social distance. With more backyard BBQs in spring, you can plan an outdoor get together this season. Show off the cooking skills you learned in quarantine and invite your friends over. You can even do a themed meal like Mexican or poke bowls. Create a menu to make it seem like you're at a restaurant, play music, hang string lights, and enjoy the weather.
]]>We're ready for Spring! March trends are all about new beginnings and staying positive. As seen on the runway and your celebrity style icons, we have the trendiest looks at the Mix. Here's our take on the trends.
Mix and match your favorite pastel pieces. A flirty lilac dress and minty cardigan will keep you on trend this month. We're obsessed with monochromatic pastel pinks too. In a sweat suit or crop top you can look super trendy.
Florals represent growth, change, and light. Seeing a bouquet of flowers by your desk brightens anyone's mood. So why not wear the spring essential? You'll instantly feel better and ready for the new season in a floral dress or tank.
These styles will give you something to smile about. On your nails to in your hair, you can sport the smiley and butterfly trend this month. Dua Lipa wore a butterfly dress on the Grammy's red carpet, so we're wearing butterflies (to the super market though).
Ball Bracelet with Flower Smiley
A twist on the classic hoop makes all the difference. You can have an ear party stacking hoops and studs in multiple piercings, or keep it simple with not so basic gold hoops. They go with anything and elevate any look.
Mini to large, twisted to classic, every hoop you need
Get the look: Twisted Hoops, Butterfly Clip, Ball Bracelet with Hanging Smiley

]]>This year’s IWD theme is #choosetochallenge. As women working in fashion and business, we are always challenging industry biases. Comprised of 97% women, Mixology makes space for women and includes their voices in every part of our business. What started as a family clothing store, has turned into a fashion brand run by hard working, intelligent, confident women.
Our goal is to inspire confidence. By employing young women in our stores and giving women leadership roles at headquarters, we do just that. It’s not easy being a woman in business, but by empowering and uplifting each other, so much can be accomplished. Our staff ranges from high school students, recent college grads, to mothers. Their perspective is everything. They know what you want and how to make you feel your most confident.
The women of the Mix are entrepreneurs, mentors, and your best friends. Here's how they inspire confidence.
What item inspires confidence for you?
Jenn, Manager at West Hampton Beach: The clothing item that inspires me most is denim! There's denim for everyone. Also in my house we feel very strongly that “sweats and leggings are for home but when we go out we put jeans on”. Don’t ask it’s weird old people stuff! But I always feel together when I have jeans on and not a mess.

What item inspires confidence for you?
Crystal, Manager NYC: My favorite piece of clothing from Mix is dresses. I grew up playing sports all week and weekend and have just never been that "girly" type. That's the thing about a dress, you can put one on and it can totally change your mood and vibe. I'll throw on a dress with a combat boot and leather jacket to make it more edgy, more me.

Becca, Associate Buyer: Mixology means to me family! If anyone has worked at a different company before- you know there is no other place like this in the world. Thank you to all the beautiful ladies who have helped me grow throughout the years (Jackie birthed me herself I wouldn't be the same without her!). And major love to my team Gabrielle Edwards, Rebecca Kobetz, Megan Dzwlewicz who continue to inspire me every single day.
We have women that have been here for just two weeks already recognizing the confidence and strength of Mixology. And then we have women that have grown up here or been with us for a decade. They love supporting each other and making other women feel confident- no matter how young or old.
Jackie, Manager Scarsdale and Rye: Age here is just a number. I have built so many amazing relationships and respect so many people no matter how old they are.
Randi, Regional Manager: To me "the Mix" means opportunity. I have been with the company for over 10 years, and I have so many stories of amazing young woman who started working a few hours a week that now have full careers. I am one of them. If you want a chance at a career the opportunities are endless regardless of your age.
Chrissy, Senior Seller Oceanside: This company is providing a unique way of helping women express their individuality in style and comfort. Mixology means empowerment to me; watching all of these women everyday go to their job and love it is so inspirational.
Part of working in fashion is using clothes to create confidence. Mix women are honest with customers when styling them for their big events. "Giving them the experience of a lifetime, and it starts as soon as they walk in the door." They love watching the customer's glow when putting on an outfit and walking out the door with it.
Christina, Manager Oceanside: Seeing these young, sometimes shy and timid tweens coming in and walking out the door with more confidence than when they walked in, it’s very inspiring! Overall, it’s just nice to work for a company that provides recognition and positivity.
