What To Wear: Pencil Pants and Stripes
Jeans, jeans, jeans. White jeans. White jeans. More white jeans. I love them both, but I wanted a few other pants alternatives in my closet. This is one of them. These coral pencil pants fit like a glove, and this top I'm wearing doesn't look like anything special, but touch it, and you'll know. It, too, fits like a glove, with just the right about of lycra to hug your curves. That's the only way to pull off stripes without them … [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...]

Mother's day to me is the pivotal time that my dressing begins to shift into summer mode. This is the point where I shift to my brighter colors and lighter fabrics.

Florals are in this year in a major way. Big prints, small prints, in all kinds of colors in all kinds of ways. … [Read more...]

You would never know I love pink, blush, whites would you? No way! I never have anything pink or blush.
