Holiday thanks

As the clock ticks down around the world for Christmas I wanted to send out a special holiday thanks blog to you all!

I appreciate each and every one of you that have supported hinchology and all it has to offer! Whether it’s laughing with or at me, lol when I do a voice over, finding thrills in my frills, so not trying to rhyme, or maybe it’s the truth in my words of life lessons learned.

So I wanted to take a moment and say THANK YOU! From the bottom of my heart thank you for accepting me for me! For all my quirks, for all my sparkle, all my color pops!

So this blog is a thank you note to my fam, and a photo dump for the holidays! It’s last minute but that’s OK! Let’s shop your closet!! Look for like colors in pieces you already have in your closet or similar combinations that can covert into a new style same color pallet!

Let’s start with comfy cozy! Jeans, pleather leggings, ski sweaters and kimonos all the way! Dress them up a little with a pleated skirt. Have fun with metallics and details!

Don’t forget to add in some sparkle and metallics. There’s no right or wrong way!

Last but not least get your prints on! Plaid on plaid, polka dots, don’t stop there play and have fun! If it makes YOU feel good then that’s what to wear!

When pairing prints remember these few rules of thumb, go big and small, matchy matchy or geometric and organic!

Cheers to dressing in what you want and a very happy holiday!

Until next style,

Xoxo,

Nicole

Holiday vibes

With the holidays around the corner my mind goes to sparkle, print fun and plaids! What is your holiday pick me up look? Warm sweaters? Pajamas? Or do you like holiday glamour?

Lets start it off with some glam. Found this fantastic tiered green polka dot skirt in the clearance at Target and had too. It is a bit big on me but I raised it up like a strapless with a sheer layer!! Don’t forget to try pieces in different ways!! You never know what you will get if you don’t try!! This tiered skirt from NY&co would be a great holiday vibe or all year round look!!

Right now I can’t get enough of plaid for winter looks!! For me plaid goes beyond the holidays!! Especially when its a popping red! Do you gravitate towards brights in the winter to uplift your spirits? I do!!! Try this fantastic poncho from Talbots for a great winter pick me up but keeps you nice a warm with the added faux fur detail!!

Now for those of you that will be doing a, dare I say, Zoom holiday party layer a sparkle tank with a plaid collared shirt for a shine factor!! Try this plaid shirt from J.Crew at a really great price right now and layer with this tank that comes in multiple colors!!

For those of you that liked the red cape above but feel it’s a bit to holiday vibe for the rest of the winter months go with a white or cream print!! Try this Shein cape with houndstooth that will style you to spring!!

Sometimes we dress up to decorate, or put on a cute dress and walk around the house, I call this grown up dress up time!! Come on you all know you do this once in a while!! LOL This little dress I found at Walmart in the kids section became a perfect pajama to decorate in and adored the light blue and red combo!! Try this cute red Pajama dress from Belk to look pretty and feel comfy!!

Pop a color like this purple blouse!! Remember that black and white goes with everything and is so versatile for the entire year!! I kept this tie that was my sons when he was little and loved how the big check went so well with the houndstooth. (Print mix always works with big and small prints paired) Anyone else super obsessed with houndstooth? Try this great purple top from Express paired with this amazing houndstooth skirt from Banana Republic Factory!

Let’s end todays blog with a rainbow of sparkle!! I love using other wise fancy dresses layered with bow blouses for a more work wearable look. Try this dress striped dress from Souther Fried Chics layered with this pink bow blouse at Macy’s to make an impact and uplift and show your holiday/New years look!!

Excited to see all your wonderful looks!! Feel inspired and want to connect #getahinch and @hinchology!

Remember to smile, have patience, know that all it takes to make an impact is to be kind!

Until next style!!
