Maxi Skirt in Winter

Winter isn’t the season you usually think of as being conducive to maxi skirts. Winter generally involves a lot of warm layers, trudging, and sitting around inside, but not this week in Austin! 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Channeling Angela Chase

I’m not ashamed of having seen every episode of My So-Called Life at least 4 to 5 times. Since it’s been streaming on Netflix I’ve been re-watching the trials and tribulations of Angela, Jordan, and of course my fave, Brian Krakow. What I loved about that show back in the 90s was that the wardrobe […]

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 […]

Trend Alert: How to Wear Floral Leggings

Oh, floral leggings, why do you haunt me so? Why do you look so pretty hanging there every day, unworn, like an impressionistic painting you can’t decide where to place on the wall? These leggings have plagued me with unwearability since I purchased them a few months ago in a brief binge at the then […]

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 […]

Winter White (& Purple Tights)

One trick I always use to spice up my life in a not-very-expensive kind of way is with fun tights. These here looked totally cobalt blue at the new H&M that just opened here in Austin, but when I paired them with a white dress and my new purple hair, they revealed their true Grimace-y […]
