The cooler weather is great because you can wear completely different accessories than usual, and lots of times ALL AT ONCE! There’s nothing better than the first few times it’s chilly enough to wear a hat & scarf (because we know that piling on layers gets annoying after a while). Use this honeymoon phase to […]

I’ve spent an embarrassing number of hours in search of the perfect blazer. This one isn’t perfect, but it is bright orange! To temper the alarming shade, I layered it with cooler colors underneath–the blues balance the brightness nicely. I also like the idea of wearing a denim shirt with a blazer because it dresses […]

No one wore menswear better than Diane Keaton did in the 70’s, but it’s Halloween and I can give it a whirl too! The easiest way to make yourself a little Annie Hall-ish style outfit is to wear a blazer with your wide-legged, high-waisted pants or jeans. Add a hat and a blouse with buttons […]

Fall’s slowly creeping back, and it’s time to start layering again! Don’t think you have to buy a whole new wardrobe or anything, just a few pieces that will work over your darker-colored summer dresses will do for this kind of look. Throwing a sweater over your dress will immediately take the formality down a […]

Green and plum has always been my favorite color combo, and I have well-documented proof of it here on this very blog. For some reason, these colors just do it for me. What I love about finding unusual color combos is that you can get away with a fairly simple outfit without it being boring. […]

…I hope! I am wearing long sleeves and have all the windows open as I type this, so things are looking better for this tights and cardigan-loving lady. Last week, though, it was still hot and I was still searching for new summer outfits to wear that didn’t make me die of boredom. Printed shorts […]

Oh man my allergies are terrible right now. It’s best no one sees my itchy eyes this week, so I’ve been sporting my glasses more often, which means I’ve got dress around them. Wearing these, I have to resist the urge to go all-out masculine prepster with a button-down shirt and trousers…I mean, it’s not […]

Every so often, I get called into a last-minute emergency styling consultation, and it reminds me of my days as an on-call social worker (except way more fun). Lauren was anxious about her engagement photo shoot, which was just a few days away, and needed help picking out what to wear. I assured her we […]

I talk a big game about loving this camo green color, and now I’m proving it again by sharing my favorite jeans of the summer (and now fall) with you here. I’m finding this color in the shops a lot right now, and they are the perfect starter color for those of you who are […]
