- I’m always on the lookout for quality layering tops. Frankly, they are hard to find! Until now…Adea line specializes in the ideal layering tops to wear underneath a little-to-low-for-the-office blouse or dress or to create a smooth, bulk-free silhouette underneath a cardigan sweater or blazer jacket. Adea offers a variety of styles in a large range of colors. I sampled this one and this one in white just to make sure they passed my see-through test. Phew! No bras or bellybutton exposure. The tops are lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking, and resistant to pilling and fading. The bottom stayed flat too and didn’t roll up onto my belly as I moved around throughout the day. True to size, but please note they are fitted, so when in doubt, order up one size. Plus, they are machine-washable and air dry quickly. Perfect for business travel ‘too’! They are not inexpensive, but I believe they are a great value and Adea is graciously offering CF readers a 20% discount on your first purchase with code: CORP1013. Code is valid for 6-months from October 16th, 2013.
- Here’s another problem solver. Does your outfit ever need a little somethin’ somethin’…a necklace or pair of earrings, but you don’t want it to stand out too much? I’ve experienced this with my clients and myself countless times! Thankfully, Priscilla Carreon introduced me to her premier jewelry collection, in full bloom. I sampled the rose gold & rose quartz necklace and instantly fell in love. The color and delicate design beautifully blends into the skin tone, but still gives that extra little sparkle to your outfit. See her full collection here. Fantastic prices too!
