Outfit of the Day in Kay Unger and David Kahn on July 30, 2010

Put your spin on the denim trend! Transition a Kay Unger Two Piece Suit into part of a fabulous "causal Friday" ensemble when worn back to your David Kahn Lana skinny capri white denim. Kay Unger's lightweight denim suite top with its dark denim core and light denim bow detail and trim really bring a fresh take on the trend. We took it further by pairing it back to our favorite white denim for a work appropriate and stylish outfit. Layer in a pop of color with a tank or tee like this Cotton Lycra Tank from DEPT. Tip: Wearing denim on denim can be tricky so mix up the washes to avoid that Texas Tuxedo look. For more information about this and other "Outfit of the Day" postings, visit FrenchCuffCo.com.

Outfit of the Day in Jade and Liquid on July 29, 2010

Make your feminine and flirty party dress office appropriate by adding a trendy yet polished grandfather cardi. Liquid's Taryn dress with its ruffle sleeves, V-neckline and fun red color is a great "date night" piece. However, we layered Jade's classic black cardi to tone down the "party" feel and transition it to "work worthy". This cardi's long length, gold button details, and convenient pockets gives you great style, while keeping your look professional. Tip: Grandfather- style cardi's can look boxy so cinch in your waist with a great skinny belt like this one by HYDE. Fill in that open neckline with a chunky statement necklace that expresses your personal style. For more information about this and other "Outfit of the Day" postings, visit www.FrenchCuffCo.com.
