Tara McNulty

We joined Tara McNulty, the fashionable blogger behind Wonder Girl, at Sears in San Bruno, CA, for a few advanced lessons in style. Her selections highlighted some of her biggest trend predictions for winter, including fur. “Faux fur is big in every way—on vests, jackets, scarves and boots,” Tara tells us. “I just got a shearling vest that I’m very excited to wear in a rugged/outdoorsy chic kind of way with my heeled hiker booties.”

Tara’s Shopping Strategy
“When I see an item I like, I either try to think about what I can wear it with in my existing wardrobe or I start to search for something to wear it with. I try not to leave a store with an item that I’m unsure of how to outfit—no matter how much I like it. ”
Menswear Chic
“This is perfect for a day at the office. I chose the top for the color (I’m really into plum and burgundy this fall). Plus a black cardigan is such an easy throw-on. I imagine wearing this with just about everything in my closet through March. The gold collar necklace adds a sleek, glamorous element—another on-trend accessory.”

Modern Ode to ’70s Glam
“I love the play of textures in this look: lace, satin and faux fur. I was attracted to the fun and flirty skirt, and then threw the vest on top to add an extra layer of interest. The vest is what really takes this outfit from cute to fashion-ey. I would wear this out to dinner or drinks with girlfriends in the city.”

Pants Perfect
“I love the silhouette of these pants—a high waisted, wide-legged trouser in a great fall-appropriate tweedy grey. I used them as the base and focus of the next outfit.”

Layering Bling
“When choosing necklaces to layer up, I look for a key element that ties them all together—in this case, the gold color. I also look for various lengths that all lay well together on the chest. Finally, the differing of weights (some fine, some chunkier) adds the visual interest.”
Day to Night
“This look is appropriate for day and can easily go into a night out. The dress is so comfortable yet chic, and the dark jewel tones make the print not too overwhelming. It could easily be worn on its own or with a simple pair of earrings, but I love the added drama of the layered necklaces—one of my signatures.”
