Hello loves! It's been a while since you've heard from me over here, as I've been busy hustling over at Honestly Margo, and it's a wonderful thing, but I've missed you! I woke up in the middle of the night saying to myself, this is one of the simplest fashion tips I can share with all of you in a jiffy. So I whipped out my laptop at 4 am, and here I am! I'm excited to show you how to wear animal print. Why am I saying this is so easy to … [Read more...]
Feminine and Fierce
Leather can be very feminine and not so fierce, and still be stylish and badass. It all depends on how you do it. Pink and black I think always is feminine and fierce, like yin and yang. No matter what's going on in our lives, we need to wear something that makes us feel amazing. This is one of those looks. For me, it makes me feel fresh, sexy, feminine and fierce. I feel strong, able and capable to handle anything … [Read more...]
The One Look You Need For Your Wardrobe
We hear about the LBD. I've written about them before. Will share more about them again. It's definitely a must have. But you don't have to have a LBD to get that polished look. My secret to looking pulled together, chic, classy, classic and stylish? I call it my "M&M's" of fashion. Monochrome and minimalist. Wear it to church, as I did. Wear it to a luncheon. Wear it to dinner. Wear to a business appointment. Wear it to a … [Read more...]
Wear This: Business Casual with Banana Republic
Fun factoid about me: Did you know that WAY back when in the day I used to be a financial planner with one of the worlds largest brokerage firms? Yup. I started out working downtown in the ivory tower, and it was glamorous and fun and interesting and an adventure, but it wasn't for me. It was the best learning experience I had on my path to knowing what I wanted in life because it was then that I knew I could never work for anyone other than … [Read more...]
Shoe Obsession: Blush Mules
I've been a little busy lately getting ready to launch some amazing things, and that has had most of my focus as of lately, but I can't help but share my latest obsession. Blush mules. First you know I love blush everything, right? Well, consider these your new nudes. Post coming on neutrals, by the way. But these are just light and fresh and perfect for spring. They go with everything. Jeans, blush jeans, white jeans, shorts, skirts, … [Read more...]
What To Wear: White Out
Less is more. Monochrome can be understated and make a statement. White is always right. I love to think of white like black. I can never get enough of my white jeans. And I can never get enough of my white tops. So put them together, and you have a crisp clean look that works for wherever and whenever. My top is one of my new favorites, with its detail of the ruffle sleeves in a contrasting cotton fabric. What I love about … [Read more...]
Wear This: Bell Sleeves
Want to be the belle of the ball? Wear bell sleeves! Bell sleeves on everything! Crisp shirts, flouncy tops, floral boho tops, and in my case today, dresses. It's just one of many details you'll see on our clothes. I personally love these because it adds just a bit of flare on something that would just seem ordinary. I paired my blue and white dress with simple nude wedges and a matching clutch. Keeping it understated, I let … [Read more...]
Wear This: Must Have Bag To Go Out
Grab your clutch! It's time to go out! Here's a look back at some of my older posts with clutches. Every woman needs some clutches in her wardrobe. I love my clutches, and I have them in all kinds of colors and designs. They pair with complimentary patterns and colors, as well as make a statement with a punch of color or simply in its pattern or design. When you're going out and you don't need your suitcase of a "mom" bag … [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...]
What To Wear: Glamour Night Out
In honor of #NationalDressDay, I thought I'd kick off the week with a bit of feminine flair. I recently attended a black tie event, and ladies were asked to wear floor length gowns. My daughter was to be the focus of the night, so I wanted something elegant, sophisticated, mature yet not matronly, sleek, understated, yet at the same time fantastic. This gown from Halston Heritage was what I chose. A couple of thoughts … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Sassy Night Out
I picked up this little faux leather dress last fall at Zara because I thought I needed a sassy piece for my closet. I don't have that many sassy nights, but if one came up, I'd be ready. That night came. Perfect for date night (which that constitutes sassy too, but I meant a little MORE sassy!) or girls night out, I had a girls night out. And you know most girls when they have a night out love to fluff their hair, right? You … [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: Ruffled Tops
Ruffled tops give just that bit of detail we need to make a simple top have a bit of whimsey and femininity. Honestly, there's not much to say about them other than they're just fun and something different! I recently got this sweater and it's the perfect crop paired with high waisted jeans. I've pulled a few for you I think you'd like. And guess what? They're ALL under $30, some even under $20! Do you have any ruffles in your … [Read more...]
What To Wear: New Years Eve
Most of our recent years, our New Year's Eve has been very quiet, just spending time with the family which is what's most important to me. This year, I'm so excited to be ringing in the new year not only with my family, but with my huge big fat Greek family for a blowout new years eve wedding. Dressing up is of course one of my favorite parts of this whole thing! I can't wait to show you what I'll be wearing. Follow me on Instagram to see … [Read more...]
Shop Your Closet: Winter White Coats
White is the new black. Winter white. Why be ordinary? Black coats are a dime a dozen, and although I love the simplicity and classic timeless look of black, white can have the same effect. I'm telling you if you don't have a winter white coat, get one. You'll be so happy you did. In a crowd of cold friends, you'll stand out amongst the rest (unless they all read this blog post and all got white coats and you wore them all … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Pencil Skirts and Bomber Jackets…. Again
When I like something, I'll let you know it. And two things I do love are pencil skirts and bomber jackets. And I'm sharing them again. (You can see a few posts I did HERE and HERE.) And I'm going to tell you why I think you should look at adding these two pieces to your wardrobe: The pencil skirt accentuates the hourglass on a curvy girl. And you know what? Curvy girls ROCK. I'm actually very curvy and I've learned that I'm never … [Read more...]
Wear This: The Choker
I'm all choked up about it. HA! Get it? Choked up? I'm talking about the choker. I remember wearing a brass one believe it or not in high school with a rayon pink blouse and a white mini skirt. It was one of my favorite outfits. Some things never change right? {wink!} This isn't my first preach on the choker. I've actually been a fan of them since last year but they're really making their way on the forefront in a major way this … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Cold Shoulder Asymmetric Tee
It's always all in the detail. It's the little things that made the pieces that I love fabulous. Who wants ordinary? Not me! So when I saw this cold shoulder top (YES... I know what you're thinking... yet ANOTHER cold shoulder top!), this one popped at me because its way more open AND I'm loving that hem. The fabric is so light and airy, and it could go with leggings, to a pencil skirt, to my ever … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Fashion Finds On A Budget
When it comes to fashion, there's no greater feeling for me than to look fabulous and know I didn't spend a fortune. To me, the secret to having that complete look is spending your money on choice pieces. And if you're wanting something that's a bit on the trendier side, very "2016", why spend a lot of money on it, right? No need to spend a lot when next year it might be totally out. So today I'm sharing with you a little place I've … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Colorful Classics
I recently had a Big Fat Greek Baptism to go to. It's much like a wedding, only a baby gets dunked in the basin of Holy Water, and every one eats and eats and dances and eats afterwards.... and eats and eats.... and dances some more. Having a classic traditional dress like this with a pop of color in your wardrobe is a no brainer. A wedding, a baptism, a graduation, it's elegant, timeless, and you won't go wrong with looking stylish and … [Read more...]
