Dressy/Casual: How to Wear a Linen Blazer

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, […]

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 […]

Layered Blazer

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 […]

Inspired By: Diane Keaton

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 […]

Green Jeans and a Blazer

Layering is one of my favorite pastimes, but I tend to use the same pieces again and again, making each outfit kind of the same (and me uninspired to photograph them). Luckily, I took a little trip to the new H&M here in Austin recently and picked up a few new layers to pile on […]

Biz Casual

Last week I did a little presentation about how to add personality to the work wardrobe by spicing up your jeans and t-shirts. Lots of working ladies here in Austin are allowed to be very casual when they go to work, but it’s easy to get bored and to feel like everyone’s looking at you […]

Say Anything

It’s been a long week over here at Trophy Boutique Headquarters. I had a great time giving a talk about adding personality into the work wardrobe to a group of fantastic women, tried to put together cute outfits for this nutso weather we’ve been having, and capped it off with excellent times with my favorite […]

A Little Funky

It’s Friday, duh, and it’s raining! Most people would probably choose to dress down for this kind of weather, but I find that wearing wedges works well too, since they keep my feet way off the ground, so I can tromp through puddles like it ain’t no thing! This colorful combination feels kind of funky […]

Second Date Dress for Winter

Your first date outfit really knocked it out the park, right? It’s a lot of pressure to come up with something as amazing as the perfectly printed blouse/booty jeans combo. BUT, if you’re dating a stranger, every piece of your clothing is new to him or her, so don’t stress too much (unless you’ve systematically […]

Pop of Inspiration

I love when my clients have a tinge of an idea of a style they want to rock. When I get an email with an image and the text “I want to dress like her!” my heart pitter-pats with excitement. I love a good jumping-off point, who doesn’t? It’s fun to take inspiration from a […]
