Kimono in Spring

This kimono-type layer thing is that one piece that I love that sits in my closet unworn. I even hang it on my clothing rack sometimes, so I can look at it every day and maybe remember to try it with a few things. I guess the problem is it’s shapelessness, and the fact that […]

I’ve been in hot pursuit of a linen blazer for what seems like eons, but is probably more like 2 years. My dreams came true at Last Call (where so many dreams are made) last week when I found this cropped tuxedo-style linen blazer in my size for next to nothing. In my fantasy world, […]

How to Do Drape

Finally! Springtime! Warm weather! Of course spring lasts about 3 seconds before it starts to get impossible to dress without sweating, so it’s time to stock up on your loose-fitting drape tops. Lots of clients love this look–the belly-hiding but still cute and comfortable drape top, but what the hell do you wear it with […]

This week it’s the best version of winter: 80 degrees, sunny, and breezy. I’ll take it! What’s weird about this weather in […]

I like to try out a trend before I talk about it, so that I can give a well-rounded discussion of the different options for wearing them, and to make […]

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 […]

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 […]
