Styling Tips to Modernize a Vintage Fur Coat
We all have a coat like this in our closet, or a fur item that screams ‘1980’s Aspen’ or a ‘1950’s Night on the Town’ that you love but feels slightly out of place in your wardrobe because let’s face it: people don’t wear giant fur pieces very often anymore. So how do you take something like this gorgeous fur I got at the recent Goodwill Glitter Sale and modernize it so that it looks like an organic part of your wardrobe? My first piece of advice: dress it down. Fur has traditionally been worn with evening wear and in dressier settings so an easy to way to bring this…

You have 10 Band Tees In Your Closet and it’s Winter Time, Now What?
So you bought a band tee, or two, or if you are like me perhaps more like 10. You have been wearing them under your favorite leather jacket and with a really awesome patent mini skirt but the weather is changing and its getting cold.

I solicited help from the insta-community to determine which I should keep and the plaid ended up winning.

Why This Sweatshirt from P.E. Nation Needs to Be in Your Wardrobe
There is a rare occasion when a label started under one specific clothing category successfully transitions to another. P.E. Nation, a favorite of mine (as you probably know from many recent posts) has done this so successfully that I no longer need to write posts about mixing your athleisure with your normal wardrobe, they now ARE your normal wardrobe. In today’s look my oh so chic sweatshirt with beautiful color blocking and just a hint of subtle branding is one of the latest pieces from P.E. Nation and the styling couldn’t be more current or on trend. Athleisure may no longer be as relevant as it once was but what…

An All White Holiday Party Look that is Already In Your Closet
It’s officially December now which means holiday party invites have most likely already started to role in. Here at Blogger Not Billionaire we LOVE getting dressed for holiday parties (especially the ugly sweater variety) but like many of you we also would prefer to create a look mostly out of items we already have our closets. Today we will show you how to do just that and what key pieces you need to pull this together. First, this look started with this white faux fur stole I had in my closet. It seems like we all have something like this be it in a more cape version like mine or…
