What to Pack: Vacation in Florence
I’ve worn this dress a zillion times, at least. I love the cheerful print in the subtle colors, the fitted waist, and the full skirt. It’s a wildly versatile dress, and looks great belted, with a cardigan, with boots, and with tights. That’s why when I was browsing some street style photos of Florence, I […]

Cocktail Dress For Day
Here’s a dress I got some time ago at the fabulous The Dress Shop, here in Austin. I loved the color and the zipper and the fit. However, I found that it never got worn because it’s just a tad too dressy and sexy for most of the events I attend. What I really need […]
Summer Job Interview
There’s nothing more stress-inducing than interviewing for a job you really really want. A big part of that stress is deciding on an outfit that projects the confident, creative, successful image you want to showcase to your future employers. That’s why I always recommend having at least one go-to interview outfit on hand, since you […]
Dress as Midi-Length Skirt
As you loyal readers may recall, this is the dress I received in a swap some months back. I loved the print and knew it had potential despite it’s wonky fit (I styled it here and here in it’s dress incarnation). But what is wonkiness aside from a challenge? Today I have taken this challenge […]
1920’s Themed Summer Wedding Attire
This weekend I attended a wedding. The ceremony was an outdoor affair, which is a lovely idea, however this weekend it was 105 degrees outside, so I knew my outfit had to be comfortable and practically sweatproof. To add to the wardrobe challenge, the wedding guests were asked to wear 1920’s themed outfits. Luckily I […]
Nauticalicious
It’s hard to resist the lure of the nautical theme in the summertime. So why try? I have had this dress for a while and like to style it differently depending on my mood. Here I was in the mood for punchy red accents. Take any print with blue or pink and add red lips […]
Jewelry Organization (before, during, and after)…
This week I was planning to blog about my early finds for fall, but here in Texas they have barely begun to bring out the warmer clothes, and I suppose that makes sense. So, since I was feeling uninspired in the clothing department, I headed over to the Container Store. Those of you who follow […]
Mixing Lace and Print
Lace is everywhere this summer, and if you’re one of those ladies who has happened to snag some, I have an idea for you. Why not wear it with a printed piece and give your girly outfit a little playful kick? I usually choose to wear my lace items with more masculine pieces to water […]
Investment Dress: 2 Ways
A few weeks ago I was feeling really good but really lacking in the transitional dress department. I wanted to spend my hard-earned money on something classic that I could wear multiple ways, to multiple different events, and could be styled for all seasons. Here’s my transitional dress, styled once before over shorts, and here […]
