When it comes to Fall Fashion I’m all about chic and work-appropriate, as I just started a brand-new full-time job where I have to look polished every day. Luckily, JCPenney is here to help, with the JCPLookbook.com which has a number of ideas for styling your fun (and affordable!) Fall outfits. jcpenney-fall-fashion-outfit-2-handbag-chic-steals

Normally I tend to dress a little more “dressed up” than necessary – because you never know when your next client is walking through the door, or when you’ll close a sale, or when you might need to go to a business dinner after work. And starting from a point of being dressed up makes it easy to transition to an evening-appropriate outfit by just switching out jewelry and darkening makeup. Dressing more conservatively makes me feel empowered because I never feel under-dressed for the situation. I feel ready to tackle head-on whatever life may throw at me. I recently teamed up with JCPenney to shop their latest in Fall fashion and put together some outfits that make me feel empowered.

Here are my new favorite Fall outfits found at JCPenney:
jcpenney-fall-fashion-outfit-4-chic-steals

Nicole by Nicole Miller Sleeveless Print Panel Sheath Dress and Kelsie Tote, FIERCE rhinestone rose gold bangle (avail. in stores)

LOVE this printed sheath by Nicole by Nicole Miller (who’s celebrating it’s 10-year anniversary at JCPenney!) – it’s a statement outfit all in one and can be finished off with just a few accessories to complete it. I added in a rose gold bangle with “FIERCE” spelled out in rhinestones found at JCPenney’s Accessories department to remind me how I feel when I dress chic.

Worthington Black Diamond Stone Necklace, Curvy-fit Straight-Leg Pants (black)

Pants that fit well are hard to find, but these Worthington trousers truly skim over my curves and make my legs look long and slim. Paired with a rhinestone necklace and cool jacket, they’re perfect for a Monday meeting or a Friday dinner.

Worthington Black Diamond Stone Necklace, Zipper Envelope Skirt (black/white geo)

I’m a sucker for the monochromatic look, and this Worthington skirt is super eye-catching but conservative at the same time. Looks gorgeous with a pair of a pumps and a chic Nicole by Nicole Miller handbag!

YMI Wanna Better Butt Destructed Skinny Jeans (DIY’d with cut off legs), Nicole by Nicole Miller Kelsie Tote

Finally, for my days off, I need a pair of jeans I can live in but can dress up for a date. These YMI jeans are destroyed just the perfect amount (and really do make my backside look better!!). Find them in the JCPenney Junior’s Department.

    Wow you read my mind. I’ve been trying to dress up more at work even though we are officially told to dress casual. I started wearing dresses in the summer because I heard it helps overweight women feel more comfortable in the heat. I found out that I *loved* wearing dresses after years and years of avoiding them. Now that its Fall I realized I have no idea what I’m doing and want to continue wearing dresses but don’t want to be cold. This blog post should help me out with that!

    Wearing a properly fitting bra has helped my confidence so much. Instead of being constantly uncomfortable I can go all day and night without a single adjustment. I’ve also gotten my curly hair under control. Next step is skin and makeup, along with dressing up more.

    What makes me feel empowered is having a nice hair cut, wearing nice comfortable clothes that make me look chic and classy, and exercising to keep my body in shape!

    I feel empowered by wearing bold colors and tighter fitting clothing. I used to wear baggy clothes and hide in them but I feel more confident with tighter fitting clothing.

    I was told once to dress for the job you want, so I feel empowered by dressing up (and similar to what you said) dressing a bit more conservatively but with a fun flair to it.

    Two things really make me feel empowered, in my work and personal life. One, being on time. Two, being prepared for my day. That includes having all of my engagements on my calendar, packing the right stuff for my day at work and any activities I have planned for right after, and making sure I’m ready for all my responsibilities.

    I feel like I always feel best in a great pair of boots. With heels, flat, short boots, tall boots, laced up, zip up, any boots make me feel great.

    I also just wanted to say I think the cool blues and purples in the dress really complement your hair color!

    Such cute outfits you paired! That skirt is so nice! I feel empowered when I spend a day getting stuff done, feeling great in what I wear which is usually heels, and also having a positive mindset. Also, no one can say wearing a nice lip color doesn’t make you totally feel BA. starla.bates@yahooDOTcom
