Our Style Lab series continues with a focus on iconic staples, with a slight militant twist. The shirt dress is classic, returns season after season, and this time 'round it's all about the reinvention of olive - and I like it. Watch this space for more olive in our upcoming Style Labs.
Military made a strong return to fashion this Fall and is a sublime pairing with the juxtaposition of gleaming gold. Let's break it down...
I love this dress, and I love the every season color it is. A shirt dress is a no fail throw-it-on and look put together situation. (You don't even have to be tall, thank goodness) Heels, flats, boots, sandals - you name it, it all works with the shirtdress.
Last summer, I purchased a white shirtdress and I received many compliments on it. I may have to add this particular one to my arsenal of workhorse dresses, it is so good. I can imagine it in constant rotation in your wardrobe straight through Winter by adding tights, scarves, blazers and pops of Gray and/or Marsala. Think pattern, fun accessories and pops of seasonal color.

| Dear Santa, I would like this cross body Gucci bag |
I will admit, I am coveting this bag for myself. It's a staple and I would use it year-round. Someone send this link to my husband, pretty please. I unintentionally took jewelry as a gift off the table with the creation of my own line. Surely, he will need a gift for me at some point, right? Although it is pricey, the good news is black and gold is so classic, you may swap out with any bag for a variety of budgets. In particular, I am coveting the cross body styles so I can go hands free!

| Alexis Kletjian Lucky Star Diamond Mini Shields in Yellow Gold |
My gold Lucky Star mini shields, layered. I love to wear a few at a time at different lengths. Yours can be customized in your birthstone or gemstone of choice. Collect them one at a time, or purchase in multiples for double the luck ;)
And a sleek black nail from Chanel, or your favorite cosmetic company, keeps it all en vogue and wraps up yet another STYLE LAB series! I hope you enjoyed it, there are more to come.

Happy Styling ;)
