Thanks to a movement in the fashion zeitgeist toward the new noraml and a more casual lifestyle approach when it comes to fashion, joggers and track pants are now popping up in restaurants, movie theaters, and even red carpets! We can now take our comfy faves whose only date night in the past was with a pint of rocky road and dress them up for a night on the town. Follow the tips below to take your sweatpants from frumpy to fabulous!

1. Consider fabric choice: Silks, chiffons, leathers, and sequins create an elevated sense of ambiance for this garment not previously seen outside the confines of home.

2. Keep silhouette lines simple and clean. Opt for a black and white color scheme and save overdone layers for your skinny jeans to keep the casual cool vibe of this look.

3. Up the ante with a pair of heels. Show your leg wear a good time with a stunning stiletto or try a wedge heel for day.

The holiday season is quickly approaching and that means hot cocoa, Christmas movie marathons, and holiday cards! Taking a new family picture to ensure a picture perfect holiday season can be stressful, but it doesn't have to be! Read on to learn how to love your family pictures. 1. Step 1: Start with Yourself- The old adage, "If mama ain't happy nobody happy" never rings truer than when choosing family photos to be displayed on the wall. All other family members can be pressed, polished, and shined, but if your outfit/hair/make up leaves you wanting the images will meet their fate on the cutting room floor. Children look cute in everything and husbands are just grateful when the ordeal is over, so take some time for yourself. Don't be afraid to shop your closet or reach for an old favorite- there's a reason why it has become a go-to, let it do its job helping you feel fabulous.

Step 2: Incorporate a Coordinating, Not Match-y Color Scheme- Play with colors carrying similar undertones and saturations. This year my husband and I chose the unexpected and unseasonal pastel palette for a fresh look for our photos. We then dressed our boys in a deeper cranberry and darker navy than their parental counterparts to stay true to the color scheme, while simultaneously faking effortlessness.

Step 3: The Devil is in the Details- Keep in mind texture, sparkle, and layers all bring a level of interest to photographs. Use this occasion of fortuity to dress your darlings to the nines in bow ties, cardis, penny loafers, and don't forget the jewelry!
