Summer Dress Layered

Happy New Year! It’s cold as heck here in Texas and I’m pretending I don’t need a few more layers in these photos in order to share one of my favorite wintertime tricks: layering my summer dresses. This one here is an old favorite, the t-shirt dress which is perfect when it’s 100 because of […]

Sweatshirt Holiday

Ah, the holidays. I know most people are gearing up for their fancy parties and wearing something sparkly and festive, but there’s also the super comfy side of the holidays. You know, when you don’t have to go to work and you can just sit around and eat chocolate and oranges all day (for instance). […]

Sweater with Slacks (The Profesh Sweater)

So you’ve worn your sweater over a dress, with a sexy skirt, and now it’s time to get professional and style a sweater for work! Most Austinites can get away with some pretty flexible career dressing–a lot of my clients feel like they’re overdressed in anything but jeans, but here’s a great way to dress […]

Date Sweater

Sweater week continues with a mid-week date outfit because sweaters can go on dates too! I know a bulky knit isn’t usually the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of something sexy to wear, but (as I said in this week’s style tipsheet) you can make your bulkier sweaters dressier by emphasizing the […]

Winter Must Have: The Layering Sweater

I always get super excited to start wearing sweaters again, and then quickly become bored when I realize sweaters are basically just a long-sleeved shirts. There’s not all that much a person can do with them besides layer, and it’s all too easy to just throw one on with skinny jeans and go. So this […]

Just Add Layers

So, these outfit photos were taken last week, before the cold front blew in, and I can’t even remember what it felt like to be warm enough to expose my flesh like this. But, I can’t waste a good black dress outfit, especially when it’s a dress that just got a new life recently at […]

Behind the Scenes: New Video

A few months ago, I had 5 of my clients over to film a short video about their experience using Trophy Boutique styling services. We had some mimosas and snacks and got down to business with the help of my producer & cameraman Chris Sharpe. I think my clients stories about how they came to […]

The Yoga Pants Trap

A lot of my work is devoted to figuring out successful career wardrobes. You want to look put-together so that you’re dressing in a way that makes you look and feel confident, professional, and appropriate for your profession. But what the hell do you wear on the weekend when you’re allowed to throw on anything […]

When to Invest: The Grown-Up Blazer

There comes a time when a grown-up lady needs to invest in grown-up lady clothes, and I’m starting to do this slowly, over the course of the fall, with my trusty Discover card and crossed fingers. I’ve spoken from time to time about investment pieces throughout this blog’s history, but I’ve reached a point in […]

Fall Project: The Four Seasons Austin

It’s been an amazing fall so far, what with taking Trophy Boutique full time, and I thought I’d share a little more about an amazing project I’ve been working on in the midst of helping my clients find their fall wardrobes! This summer, I helped the cocktail lounge bartenders and waitresses at the Four Seasons […]
