Boat Party!

Here’s an outfit inspired by my recent sojourn on Town Lake with the exceptionally wonderful staff at Service Menswear, in honor of yet another good friend’s departure to New York.

Last week a client and I shared a wonderful a-ha moment when we discovered that her skirts look best when they are sitting higher than usual, on her natural waist. It’s a beautiful day when you find the clothing that makes you feel lighter and happier, and sometimes that involves discovering long-ignored body parts! I […]
