Modernized Mod

This was a challenging little number to style, nothing like yesterday’s sweater which I can’t stop wearing! There’s something about a super 60’s kind of dress that temps a lady like me to wing her eyeliner out and slick her hair back like Twiggy. However, Halloween has come and gone, and since I actually have […]

Fun Fun Fun Layers

I know all of you are absolutely DYING to know what I wore to the Fun Fun Fun Fest this past weekend, what in the heck to wear to outdoor music festivals when the temperature varies from 80 to 48 during the time you’re there, and what to wear when you have to account for […]

Brighten the Corners

I thought today, since it’s grey and dreary and drizzly and weird, would be the perfect day to post this bright and cheery outfit. It’s also yet another way to wear your oxford shoes! The idea of the outfit is super simple to replicate also: it’s one part corduroy, one part basic sweater, and one […]

Masculine/Feminine: The Oxford Shoe

When I meet with a client for the first time, I often will ask her to select an item from her closet that she loves but has no idea how to wear more than one way, if at all. Lots of times it will be an item that veers away from the rest of her […]

What to Wear to a Co-Ed Networking Event

Oh the glorious adventures we have as career women. One of the most stressful parts of having a job, getting clients, or getting a new job is networking, in my opinion. You have to talk to strangers and appear both confident and humble, attractive but not distractingly so, smart but not too much of a […]

The Target Staple: Patterned Skirt

Sometimes I find some really amazing gems at Target. Where else can you find super on-trend pieces that actually are made to fit normally-sized humans for only slightly more than at Forever 21 (which is not always fit to normally-sized humans)? I have a few super well worn items from Target, and this batik print […]

Guest Post: Jennifer Styles Red Jeans

Since I’m still sick of myself, I have another fun non-Laurel post to share with you today! Jennifer from If I Must Say So is on her Honeymoon right now, and asked me to post over there about one of our shared loves: red jeans. Since I have a lot of nerve, I got her […]

Client Profile: Christina’s Engagement Portrait Outfits

I was overjoyed when UT PhD student Christina here asked me to help her come up with some outfits for her upcoming engagement photo session with her fiance, Scott. Although picking out the outfits that you and all of your friends and relatives will look at for years to come is slightly frightening, I felt […]

Long Legged Disguise

Happy Halloween, people. I don’t have my shit together enough to give you an amazing costume post like last year, but as you can see I once made an excellent mime! This weekend I debuted my sweater for the first round of sweater weather of the year, but I still have some warm-weather posts to […]

Blazer and Skirt Season

I like to think of the seasons in fashion terms, and it’s just about boots and tights season, which will be followed by coat and scarf season, I expect. But last week it was merely blazer season, and so I used my layers sparingly. When it’s in the 70’s, you can still get away without […]
