It's no secret I have an affinity for the WhoWhatWear Collection for Target. I love that these pieces have style, they're up with the trends, yet not "trendy" and so dated that we'll get tired of them in 6 months. I also love that I can wear them being my age, and yet so can a gal way younger than me, as well as a woman 15 years older than me. These pieces can be worn to work then out to a dinner party. Versatile and stylish and the best part … [Read more...]
Wear This: Add Color With Accessories
As much as I love trends and some fads, I tend to lean to the more simple and classic timeless looks. I also love the elegance of simplicity and looks that stand the test of time. Style doesn't mean you have to always wear the hottest this or the newest that. It's about being put together in a way that looks good and suits you, the occasion, and how you feel best. So today I wanted to give you a simple style tip that I do often. It can work … [Read more...]
Shop Your Closet: Ponchos and Velvet Leggings
Why is my closet so full? It's full because of unique pieces like this that I bought years ago at Rakota Remington (which is no longer around but it was a fabulous little boutique in Oklahoma City). This poncho can be worn so many ways. I love all the cutouts and the fringe detail. It's something you won't find anywhere else. And when we have crazy grey days like some we've been having, and you just want to layer, it's the perfect piece. … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Transitional Weather
You never know what you're going to get when it comes to Oklahoma weather. That and travel I think are my keys to my favorite rule in what to wear. Layers. As we are right in the middle of what seems to be transitional weather, it only makes sense that we prepare for those days of cold to hot, windy and sunny, and why don't we throw in a hormonal hot flash or two while we're at it! {wink!} So my ultimate key in what to wear for transitional … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Off The Shoulder Flow
I told you you were going to see more off the shoulder tops from me! (wink!) This beauty is so fabulous for a few reasons. One, it's ultra comfortable, soft and flowy. And because of that, it makes me feel feminine yet fierce. The inner feeling you get when you FEEL beautiful inside gives you some sort of super power, don't you think? The second reason why I love this blouse? It's PRICE! You don't hear me talk lots about prices here, but … [Read more...]
Shop Your Closet: Mixing Textures With Basics
I have a hard time parting with pieces of my wardrobe. Some of those things being bags (super hard to part with) and shoes, especially when they're unique. It makes it fun when years go by and I pull them out and they feel like something fabulous and new all over again, especially because they're so unique to most. Having a passion for fashion doesn't mean I have to be glammed up all the time. I get joy mixing things up, finding pieces from … [Read more...]
Shop Your Closet: Casual Cold Shopping Day
When you wear a bunch of old stuff (mostly) and you have a casual shopping day and need to run errands, and feel a little sassy and fabulous, and it's a cold windy day. This is what I wear. Stuff I have in my closet. And this is how I shop. I buy basics and staples that mix and match. And I find fabulous vintage things when I come across them. And I invest in bags that are timeless. That's how I pull it all together. So that when I DO … [Read more...]
Shop Your Closet: Prepared For Anything
I'm BAAAAAAAACK! I THINK my brain is refreshed and ready to go and get back into the swing of things. I will say I think my plate is fuller than ever but still, it's all so very good and exciting! As most of you know, I've been MIA for several weeks, and I had quite a task at hand. I had to pack for two types of trips, that were back to back, in one swoop, and be prepared for whatever and where ever. First trip was work in Atlanta for … [Read more...]
Shop Your Closet: Spring Neutrals
If you've followed me for any amount of time, you know I like to buy some choice pieces of clothing that have style, but are timeless. So I recently pulled out this Nicole Miller military jacket I bought at Ruth Meyers (now R. Meyers) in Oklahoma City, I kid you not, I want to say 10 years ago. Yup. It was a short little thing, and I also got a silky sheer blouse that has some fun pleats at the bottom that hang down below the bottom of the … [Read more...]
Shop Your Closet: Spring Stripes
One of this spring's trends is stripes. We're seeing it everywhere, so I decided to pull out one of my striped dresses I've had for a while and couldn't part with it for several reasons. I love the detail on the shoulders and the side little tie. Second, it's pretty much a classic style, and it's Marc Jacobs. So I thought, if it's a classic, keep it. And so I did. All the better because I get to share this old thing of mine with some other … [Read more...]
Shop Your Closet: Abi Ferrin Versatile Leggings
It wasn't long ago that I shared my absolute favorite leggings from Abi Ferrin from R.Meyers. In case you missed it, you can see it HERE. Well, being inspired by Kate Middleton wearing hers what it appears to be on the slopes, I thought to myself, these fabulous things are NOT just to be dressed up. I can look super fabulous for less formal occasions... like travel. When it comes to travel I like to have three things part of my look: I have … [Read more...]

You guys know I love to find great finds. I'm always building upon my wardrobe with my "investment" pieces, looking for those classics that will never go out of style, and still look modern and fresh. Such was the case when I came upon this cream tweed coat by Karolina Zmarlak at Liberte'. Yes, I did just talk about her style yesterday. Well, I splurged on this beautiful coat on sale. It's seriously SO amazing, I can't even … [Read more...]
Shop Your Closet: White Jeans, Fall Not So Fall
Fall is my FAVORITE season of the year. I absolutely LOVE to wear beautiful coats, jeans, boots, and just the whole feeling of the crisp in the air. While we're in the month of October, it's yet to truly feel like fall. We might have had a day or two of cooler weather, but nothing to say it's here to stay. So what to wear on the days where we hit the upper 80's and then some? I pick neutrals in my closet in colors that will keep me cool. … [Read more...]
Shop Your Closet: DVF Kaftan
When I spot a deal, I grab it and keep it for when I need it. Then, when I need to wear something either for a special occasion or just to have something fresh and different, I just shop my closet. Last time I talked about it HERE, and such was the case with this DVF blue tropical number. I think I got this last winter on sale and snatched it up for a use I KNEW I could find in the future. {wink!} I took this with me … [Read more...]
