Picture of three collages of outfits with the pantone colors

Happy Fall! This is my favorite time of year because of all the layering and pumpkin spiced everything!  I also love all the colors that appear during the Fall and Winter. This year I was surprised to only see 10 colors instead of 12 from the Pantone Color Institute. But I will say, the ones they chose are spot on and perfect for this fall season. This year the colors represent versatility and timelessness which reflects the desire for value and functionality. The Pantone Colors of the Season are chosen by the Pantone Color Institute.  Each season 12 colors and 4 neutrals are chosen based on the top colors that New York fashion week designers will be showing in their runway shows. The colors represented…

Thee Outfits WIth Shorts for Summer

Do you wear shorts in the summertime?  I actually have a lot of women tell me they don’t wear shorts. I know, from experience, as we age our legs don’t always look like we would like them to. There were a few years that I did not wear shorts because of spider veins until I finally decided to get rid of them with injections. It was so worth it! I still have some but not as much as I use to. I also use a self tanner on my legs to give them a little color but also to cover some of those small veins. With the heat as bad as it is here in the south I honestly don’t know what I would do…

Casual Outfit Ideas for Staying at Home

By

Things are looking a little bit different for a lot of us right now and this may continue for the next few months.  I hope all of you are staying at home, if it is possible for you to. My husband and I haven’t left the house in over a week and we plan on continuing that lifestyle for a little while.  Not knowing how this virus will affect us gives me enough reason to try my best to stay far away from anyone until this has all calmed down.  What an experience this has been right?! I hope and pray that you and your families are well and stay that way.  I have been clinging to the verse 2 Timothy 1:7 which says “For…

Spring was predicted to come early this year.  Personally, I am looking forward to it and I hope you are too.  These 23 Spring/Summer Essentials will help you create a good foundational wardrobe for the spring season.  You may already own what I suggest or you will be able to see what pieces you might be missing.

Hi! The biggest question I get when helping clients put outfits together is “How do I dress in between season’s?”  This is the hardest time of year to figure out what to wear because the weather just doesn’t cooperate.

How to Wear Spring 2020’s Popular Tie Dye Trend

By

Why am I writing about tie dye you might ask?! Well, I purchased the cutest tie dye sweatshirt at TJMaxx and noticed that tie dye prints were going to be a fun trend for this spring/summer season. This is a trend I think any age can wear so I think it’s worth talking about. I really like fun pieces you can add into your existing wardrobe without it getting too complicated. Tie dye is just that! Tie dye clothing became popular in the 1960’s and 70’s.  I personally recall tie dye being popular again in the 90’s along with the frizzy hair and parachute pants!  I will welcome back tie dye over the other two any day! Not all trends that come back are even…
