I have a lot of these kinds of outfits in my repertoire. I call them Dressy/Casual. They’re those kinds of outfits that consist of some casual pieces and some dressier elements. All together, they give off a not-quite dressed up, but still put-together vibe. Austin is a dressy/casual kind of city if it’s not just […]

Okay, so maybe I overdid it just a tad, but it rained actual rain here and got below 80 during the day, so I dressed like an actual person should dress in actual October! With tights, a cardigan, and boots! And a scarf. Heh. Alright I was kind of hot all day, but look at […]

Happy Monday, folks! Just a quick post with my new ankle boots, in an outfit you may have seen before (save for the boots). What’s easier than tucking your skinny jeans into the tops of your boots to create a longer-than-usual leg, I ask? Not a lot. If you want to pair super-long legs with […]

Okay so maybe I’m not super right on-trend with these pants anymore, but heck! It just got slightly less hot enough to wear pants! So, since my impulse-control post reminded me of these pants from Target, I thought I would try them out with my new ankle boots. I think winter trends last longer in […]

This year has really been a practice in impulse control around Trophy Boutique headquarters. In January I began my ill-fated resolution to not buy anything new save for accessories, stopped shopping at Forever 21, and spent a lot of time exploring Austin’s thrift and vintage stores. I fell off the wagon sometime around April, when […]

A few weeks ago, I was helping a friend find outfits that emulated a sort of casual carefree 70’s style. You know, like my adored fashion icon, Stevie Nicks. I too, love Stevie’s flowing long layers, wide long pants and skirts, capes, and lace. I love all of it, except for maybe those giant feathered […]

One of my favorite tricks to make my clients super excited and happy is to show them where their natural waist is hiding. But sometimes I forget where my own waist resides, as seen in these photos. I was so excited about my Tortoise & Blonde glasses, that I didn’t realize that this untucked, unbelted […]

You guys, I have a not-that-embarrassing confession. I have terrible eyesight. Ever since I was six I have had to wear some sort of corrective lens. My first pair of glasses were pink plastic with these little divots in the side that looked like eyelashes. They were probably three sizes too large for my face. […]

Sometimes, maybe more than sometimes, jeans are the perfect thing to wear. For me, I would probably have some sort of physical withdrawal if I were told I could no longer wear denim. But sometimes I have a difficult time thinking of new ways to wear jeans without buying new shoes, shirts, or cars (to […]

A little while back, I did this post about wearing work pieces casually. I love creating different outfits by mixing work clothes in with more casual clothes–it’s a fun way to extend a wardrobe. But, it’s also fun to take your casual pieces and dress those up, too! How many times have you Texas ladies […]
