As a Cubicle Chic reader, you’ve probably heard about me talking DailyLook’s regularly (see why I love DailyLook here). Today I want to take you through the process of unboxing a DailyLook Elite Box, including what comes in each box, and how I styled the pieces I decided to keep!

I’m a blazer girl, that bit is obvious. It’s just something that fits so easily into my work day as well as weekend wardrobe.

I’m also a dress girl, but I always look for dresses that cover up my midriff area because I feel the least secure about this area.

So when DailyLook Stylist Hana paired this loose blazer with this cotton dress (among other things) for me, I didn’t immediately think it was ME. But I know these people really know what they’re doing, so I went with the flow.

The Elite Box arrived within a few days in this neatly packaged box, with all the items they picked for me inside.

This has got to be my favorite part of the process, the literal un-boxing of the packages. DailyLook folks really take their time and effort in making sure every box is packed with perfection and care. You open the box and you will see the order confirmation as well as the ship-back labels along with a personal note from your stylist.

When I unwrapped the items and saw this blazer and dress, I was still a bit hesitant.  The colors are gorgeous, and the material is definitely HIGH quality. I know these are really nice products. I just wasn’t sure about the fit and the style

The light bulb moment finally came when I put them on me. This dress fits SO perfectly, loose enough to be flow-y and comfortable, but shapely in the right areas that I don’t feel like I’m wearing a pillowcase. I was INSTANTLY  a fan…. all thanks to Hana!!

If you want to try DailyLook Elite Box today.. you can use this code CUBICLECHIC20 to get 20% off your first Elite Box! Let me know if you do try it though… I’d love to see what items you end up with!!

There are two more promo codes you can use: HOLIDAY10 to get $10 off your styling fee for your first Elite Box, and a holiday deal is MYBOXTREAT which is buy 3 and get the 4th for free! 

Have fun shopping!!!!!

If you read my post earlier this week on how I conquered my deadly fear in public speaking, you know that I was invited to speak at a fashion conference organized by Poshmark every year in the Fall. It wasn't my first public speaking experience, but certainly the first time to speak in front of HUNDREDS of fashion obsessed ladies. I knew I had to bring my A-game in terms of my outfit.

Speaking Engagement…What Do I Wear??

If you read my post earlier this week on how I conquered my deadly fear in public speaking, you know that I was invited to speak at a fashion conference organized by Poshmark every year in the Fall. It wasn’t my first public speaking experience, but certainly the first time to speak in front of HUNDREDS of fashion obsessed ladies. I knew I had to bring my A-game in terms of my outfit.

DailyLook to my Rescue

So I partnered up with DailyLook, and used your Elite Box service to help me create the look that I wanted.

I told my stylist that I wanted lots of white in my outfit because I wanted to stand out in photos. I also told her that I needed outfits that conveyed authority but approachability at the same time. I liked rompers and flow-y materials.

I know. Kind of a tall order for them, right?. To make matters tricky, I’m known to be a finicky customer sometimes. But what the DailyLook team delivered was BEYOND amazing. I felt so comfortable in these clothes yet very, very confident. I’ll let you decide on your own… I felt like I had a personal stylist that curated these looks for me.

Outfit #1

Outfit #2

If you want to get on the DailyLook bandwagon, you can use my code to get 20% off of first box: CUBICLECHIC20. Let me know what you end up getting!!

In my last Elite Box from Dailylook, I received this adorable summer pink dress as one of the curated items. Again, it's something I typically wouldn't even reach for, and the stylist at DailyLook picked it out for me and it was such a pleasant surprise!

With the official start of fall just 1 day away (this year’s autumnal equinox falls on 9/22/16), are you, or more precisely, is your wardrobe ready for the change of season?

In my last Elite Box from Dailylook, I received this adorable summer pink dress as one of the curated items. Again, it’s something I typically wouldn’t even reach for, and the stylist at DailyLook picked it out for me and it was such a pleasant surprise!

It’s such a quintessential summer statement piece and I couldn’t bear the thought of parting with it just yet.  That’s why headband and sandals aside, I wanted to show you how I paired this dress with the perfect Fall accessories to make it perfect for the switch of the seasons!

Accessorizing with Fall Essentials – Blazer Vest, Black Mul

It’s quite simple, really. With these three pieces of accessories, this outfit is instantly ready for the slightly more chilly season up ahead. For me, these three pieces are VEST BLAZER, BLACK MULES, AND A WIDE BRIM HAT! I’ve curated few different options for each accessories at various price points:

On Staying Mindful During this Holiday Season

The Fall season always passes by too quickly for me. First, it’s the emergence of pumpkin spice latte, then it’s Halloween.. before you know it, family is gathered around for Thanksgiving. After that, you pick a Christmas tree, then bam the year ends. I’m vowing to be more present this Fall, mind the little things, and enjoy the passage of time rather than reminiscing the time that has passed.

How to “Fall Into” the New Season With One Outfit https://inthemarginalia.com/blog/2016/09/how-to-fall-into-the-new-season-with-one-outfit/ https://inthemarginalia.com/blog/2016/09/how-to-fall-into-the-new-season-with-one-outfit/#respond Mon, 12 Sep 2016 15:30:00 +0000 http://mycubiclechic.com/index.php/2016/09/12/911how-to-fall-into-the-new-season-with-one-outfit/ I'm not gonna lie. In San Diego, if it weren't because of the emergence of pumpkin spice latte, I would have had no idea that Fall has befallen upon us! 

The change of season this year coincided with the start of a new job for me. Needless to say, I have been nonstop thinking about new things to add to my work wardrobe. The smart thing to do, though, is to find accessories and outerwear that turn summer outfits into fall-appropriate looks!

I’m not gonna lie. In San Diego, if it weren’t because of the emergence of pumpkin spice latte, I would have had no idea that Fall has befallen upon us! The change of season this year coincided with the start of a new job for me. Needless to say, I have been nonstop thinking about new things to add to my work wardrobe. The smart thing to do, though, is to find accessories and outerwear that turn summer outfits into fall-appropriate looks!

Start with a Simple Summer Outfit

I have partnered with Dailylook (see my post about their Elite Box here)  to show you how to “Fall Into” the new season with just one outfit! This simple floral top pair with the white jeans is very quintessentially “summer”. Casual Friday, girls night out, or just an errand around the town, are all events this outfit is perfect for.

Transform It into a Fall Appropriate Ensemble

With the help of a fall color trench coat, some booties, and a scarf, the same outfit is instantly Fall-appropriate, even in California!
