The Sunday Mass Look:

Many of you are going to Sunday mass this Sunday because of your religious beliefs or in my case an overbearing yet loving mother who doesn’t want to see her oldest boy go to hell. (But I digress) When it comes to displaying personal style in religious situations one must put their ego aside to be respectful.  You can go or this seasons bright colors but don’t overdo it because the service is not about you no matter how bad you want it to be.

A blazer is a must and a houndstooth blazer like this one from Tallia Orange works with a variety of outfits.  This Ben Sherman shirt is a great mix of simple and detailed to stand alone or under a jacket. A tie is a must when it comes to dressing up and this Brooks Brother necktie is a great pop of color on top.

When the top of your outfit is pretty tame it is best to shock people by having a super interesting bottom. That’s what I strongly recommend a color trouser like these from Jil Sander. If you’re pants are going to be really loud then allow your shoes to tone them down. A simple pair of dressy lace ups will do the trick and Topman has you covered. The cherry on top of this outfit should be your watch. I recommend choosing one with a very classic face but going for a bright colored band like this GUESS timepiece.

What goes around comes around. And for Callula Lillibelle, it’s the 1960s for its fall 2011 collection. Designs like the red mini dress paired with lighter red tights and hat brings Twiggy to mind. The good thing about this collection is you don’t need to have a body like Twiggy to wear the clothing. The designers Melanie Fraser Hart and William Calvert kept in mind the everyday woman with basic pieces like skirts, tops, wide-leg pants, skinny pants and jackets. This line varies in prints, colors and materials, so it can become a staple in any woman’s wardrobe when playing around with the different pieces of clothing. This line takes the basic pieces to the next level with bold reds and yellows, tweed, hounds tooth and leopard prints.

Every woman can identify with this collection. Whether it’s the business casual woman going to the office dressed in wide-leg trousers and a matching jacket or the nerdy girl in oversized glasses paired in a leopard print dress with leopard print gloves, there is something in this collection for everyone.
