Valentine’s Day Date Night Look

February 14, 2017

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I know normally it is Fitness Tuesday here on Just Jodi Style, but today I will be making an exception. With tonight being Valentine’s Day I know some of you will probably wait until the weekend to celebrate with work and everything, but for those of you who are going out tonight I wanted to share with you my perfect Valentine’s date night look. I know that everyone feels like they need to wear something red or pink or colorful because it’s a holiday. I am here to tell you that you don’t need to do that. I always wear something that I feel the most comfortable in and what makes me feel sexy. This look is a simple grey top i purchased from Vince back in college and is flowy which is great especially if you are going somewhere that is a pre fix menu with multiple courses so your stomach can breathe :-). I spiced up the outfit with a sparkly shoe and earring just to give it a little something. For those of us living in the cold weather just throw on a great coat that has a little faux or real fur to keep you warm through the night. This jacket from Annabelle New York is quickly becoming one of my favorites this season. You don’t need much when you are going out with someone or people that you love. The most important thing is to make sure that you feel good about yourself and what you are wearing. I hope everyone has a great holiday today and for those of you who don’t have a special someone it is okay! I personally treated myself and saw 50 Shades Darker at Ipic and had a few glasses of wine and there is nothing wrong with that <3.

Boots with the Fur: High Top Sneakers

May 23, 2016

It may be almost June on the calendar, but in NYC it doesn’t feel that way. A lot of New Yorkers switch over their closets from season to season and for me I have not done that just yet. There have been days this past week where I still wore some of my cashmere sweaters to work. One of my favorite pairs of sneakers to wear during winter and during these in between months before summer are these Vince black leather and fur sneakers. Now I am one of those people that felt because I am barely 5 ‘ 2 that high top sneakers aren’t appropriate on me. These are amazing because when you fold them down they are lined just on the top inside with fur. They are the comfiest shoes. Since I purchased them, they have since come out in a variety of colors and different variations of fur. This is a fun alternative instead of continuing to wear your booties that you wore all fall long. Since I am a true Florida girl, even though it’s in the 60’s outside I still feel like it is cold, but others may disagree with me. If you are looking for high top sneakers, but don’t want ones with fur or an expensive pair, check out all the major retail stores this holiday weekend. There are going to be a lot of sales on a lot of things and this is the time to buy them. Even if you find a pair like mine that may come off as a little wintery I would still buy them and put them away for next season. These are also great shoes to wear when you are going out to a bar and don’t care about anyone stepping on your feet ☺ . Hope you all enjoyed my post today and are now inspired to buy your own pair of high top sneakers or as the famous song says “Boots with the fur..With the Fur!”

Plaid Look Done Right!

April 5, 2016

Everyone I know has a plaid shirt in their closet that every fall / winter they wear as soon as the temperature drops. I was always skeptical of getting a plaid shirt that didn’t consist of neutral colors like black and white, but this year I was determined to find one that I loved. I kept on lusting over the Rails plaid shirts in every store I walked into, but I couldn’t bring myself to spend a great deal of money on a shirt that I wasn’t sure how many time I would wear it, but then I found it. I found this red, black and white plaid shirt at Zara and I have worn all season long! The reason why I was really drawn to this shirt was because not only did it look like the Rails shirts I was lusting over, but it one of the softest shirts I have ever owned! The other great part of this shirt is that if you wanted to roll up the sleeves and not have them fall down there is a clasp on the inside of the sleeves for you to do that. This shirt is a great top not only for those nights that the temperature drops, but it is also very stylish and doesn’t make you feel like you are underdressed. When wearing a plaid shirt there is no need to wear any other patterns, the plaid is enough. Try to keep the rest of the outfit simple, I paired it with a pair of simple black jeans. If you are still looking for a great plaid shirt I would check out Zara, H &M, and Bloomingdales. They are currently having “friends and family” sales and this is the time all of the winter themed items, such as plaid shirts, will be put on sale. Go get your favorite plaid now!

The Shearling Coat

March 15, 2016

Since last year I have been searching for a shearling coat. I have searched and searched and couldn’t find one that I loved. Sometimes I purchase my winter items towards the end of one season when they go on sale to have them for the following year. If you are like me and go to Florida always check out the winter section during the fall. Since no one in Florida is buying winter items they always go on sale there first. This amazing Vince shearling jacket I found online at Last Call by Neiman Marcus for a ¼ of the price! It was sold out everywhere and when I ordered it I crossed my fingers waiting for that email saying that it had shipped. I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about the color when I bought it since most of my closet consists of neutral colors, however it is stunning in person. If you are like me and don’t buy much color start off with earth tones like this Hunter green color and ease your way towards other colors. This is my go to jacket when it’s a little cold out, but not cold enough for my heavy down jacket.
