Cobalt Shorts

Hello, summertime! It’s time to get out that self-tanner again and wear my bright & happy shorts! I love these because they’re high-waisted, stretchy, and a fetching shade of bright cobalt blue.

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, […]

PJs for Day (how to style “harem” pants)

I’ve had a long-term distaste for what some call harem pants, I call diaper pants, or any pair of pants that has a drop-butt which makes you look 3 sizes larger than you are on purpose.

Love Jeans

Popping in real quick to wish you a day of love (self-love or other-people love) and share my simple little Valentine’s Day outfit. I am having a sweatshirt moment this year, so it’s only fitting that I’d pair mine with my old red jeans today. The loafers make the jeans feel a little more modern […]

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). […]

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 […]

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.
