Our Fashionable Friend

Everyone knows Jennifer Aniston right? Her turn as Rachel, the romance and break-up with Brad Pitt, and her unwavering sense of personal style and poise.

These are two incredibly simple and casual looks, to get you from work to play in a flash.

Take 1: Black is always in.
+ Show off your killer legs (you didn't jog all those miles for nothing honey) with black or navy shorts (Wet Seal has plenty of in a myriad of designs and shades). Make sure they're not too snug or you risk looking like a hoochie-mama! Instead, pick something that sits right above your hipbone and reaches just above mid-thigh with a slight flare. Legs will look smaller in comparison.
+ Get a gorgeous fitted top (Victoria's Secret makes great, sexy shirts) in a color near similar (if not black, try dark charcoal, or perhaps navy blue). Tuck it neatly into shorts to create a lean, streamlined effect.
+ Add killer strappy heels. No clunky platforms or stumpy flats here!
+ Other ways to dress it up and add a pop of color include draping a sheer scarf around your neck (not one that drags past your shorts), adding a thin, metallic belt around your pants if you want to accentuate that area, or some fine, gold jewelry. Just not all at once!


Take 2: City Girl Chic
+ Find a loose, blousy top that cuts close around your shoulders but drapes everywhere else. (Curvy girls might want to skip this, because it might end up looking sackish. Instead, pick something that's fitted across the bustline too)
+ Pair with lean, long pants in a contrasting shade (too much of one color can be overwhelming here). Tuck top in slightly, only if you have a flat tummy you want to highlight!
+ Grab yourself a metallic clutch, and pile on some thin bangles.
(Express is a good place to start for these items!)
