It’s summertime, and the living is easy. Actually, summer is kind of complicated for this mom of teen girls, but whatever. It’s also hot. Very hot. Anyway, I digress. Although teens and temps might not cooperate, my wardrobe still can. And so can yours. If there’s anything we can simplify in the summer, it’s style. […]

I think sustainability will soon no longer be a niche category, and instead, will be the norm for many brands and many consumers. Fortunately, there have never been more options for sustainable style at every price point and for every personal style. This list is by no means exhaustive, and as soon as I was […]

If you’re only going to update one category of your wardrobe this season, make it accessories. Actually, I would say that for any season. Adding updated trend-driven accessories to wardrobe essentials is a shortcut to chic and updated style on a budget. Speaking of budget, the cost per use on a versatile accessory is always […]

I know this is a tall order, but it’s not too tall for me. I may be short in stature, but I’m tall on style. You know what I mean. I’m not afraid to tackle the hard-hitting style subjects, like why you keep buying the wrong clothes or the pants that have the potential to […]

I recently read a fluffy novel where the heroine started every day by picking her shoes. She planned her outfits from the bottom up. She’s pretty much my soul sister. Shoes can make or break an outfit, so it makes sense to start there. Plus, shoes are my favorite. 🙂 And while there are some […]

Y’all know this is true, right? Seriously, though. Accessories stump so many of us.

Especially when the options are, literally, endless. […]

Glasses are a sore subject for me, if we’re being honest, because until recently, I didn’t need them. Suddenly, in my very late 40s, I woke up needing reading glasses. Kevin bought me a pair in rose gold, which I promptly misplaced all over the house, and denied were even mine, until headaches from the […]

When we were little, we were fearless. We piled on ropes and ropes of pearls and then added plastic shoes and a tiara and felt fabulous. We didn’t worry about looking a little, well, much. We didn’t second-guess our accessory choices before removing one item and muttering: “Less is more.” Because less was not more. […]

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but everything summer is on sale or sold out. Everything. I was in Target yesterday and what was left of the Fourth of July decor was on clearance, and signs of fall filled the store. I saw scarves along with the swimsuits, school supplies near the pool supplies. And […]

Accessories are such crowdpleasers. I mean, to my knowledge, no one has ever returned a necklace or a bag because they didn’t fit.  They are kind of a sure thing. And every season, there’s a new crop of sure things every season, ready to transform your boring old basics and make you fall in love […]
