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 […]

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 […]

Sweater over Dress

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 […]

Poncho Two Ways

Now that fall has arrived, I’ve recovered last winter’s poncho collection only to discover that all of my ponchos are better for actually COLD weather. Lo and behold the lightweight poncho from Splendid–a cozy, stretchy heavy jersey complete with a flattering cowl neck and front pocket. It’s such the perfect piece for almost-cold weather that […]

Boots with Dress Season

It’s that time of year again…You know, when you want it to be fall so you can wear layers, but it’s still 100 degrees outside so it’s impossible to wear anything with sleeves. So therefore, I like to think of this time of year as “boots with dress season.” You can give a little nod […]

SXSW 2013: Jean Jacket and Cowboy Boots

Dressing for the annual weeklong binge of South By Southwest here in Austin is always kind of fun and challenging. You gotta wear something that’s comfortable enough to walk and bike all day in, plus enough layers for the chilly night, PLUS you kind of want to look cool (and not like every single other […]

The Anatomy of Comfy Casual

Sometimes it’s still a little chilly, but you’re sick to death of wearing pants! Enter: sweater tights! These babies have gotten me through several bouts of cold-induced boredom, and are always the perfect solution when wearing my summer skirts in winter. I’ll fully admit that there’s a lot going on here in this outfit, but […]

How to Wear Shorts with Tights

What to wear during those in-between days when it’s not that cold, but not that hot, either? Try playing around with some shorts and tights combos! I love bright bright tights and it’s easiest to wear them with something simple and graphic (like a black and white striped sweater). This combo will make your legs […]

Boots n’ Tights

It’s been a while since I wore this dress and talked about how excited I was to wear it with tights, boots, and a cardigan. Like MONTHS. But hey, it’s been a busy few months and I haven’t had time to wear tights! Naw, for real though, this combo has all the things I like–pleats, […]

The “Winter in Texas” Cardigan

This winter it’s all about this drape front cardigan for me. You know, winter: when it’s 80 at 2pm and 40 at 10pm! This type of layer is nice because it’s not too bulky or warm, creates a little bit of shape and interest over otherwise boring outfits, looks great over something dressy, and it […]
