Wear it Now… White Pants

May 14, 2013

White pants are an essential summer wardrobe item.

White pants offer a sophisticated alternative to the everyday blue jeans, and bring an elegant flare into the workplace. The look is perfect for any occasion, and size. A common misconception about white pants, or the color white in general, is that you can only wear it if you’re a size two. While you may need to pay more attention to the shape of white pants, and what they are accentuating in relation to your body ( as opposed to say a pair of black pants), the white pant look is achievable regardless of size!

Sky’s Out Thighs Out

May 7, 2013

Finally, the sun has broke through what seems like weeks of grey skies.  Given the current sunny state, which may or may not last about an hour, I think its safe to say many people are counting down to summer ( official date of Friday, June 21st).  And that means….summer fashion.

Now summer does have fashion ( at least a little), although sometimes it appears most people equate summer with one outfit: cutoffs, tank top, and flip-flops. But just in case you’re willing to step outside of this staple southern outfit, here are a few trends to test!

Transitional Months’ Fashion Woes

April 9, 2013

So its finally starting to feel like Spring, but who knows how long that will last.  Similar to March, April has been a weather toss up- cold one day, warm the next and a few all-day rainy days in between.  This transitional month has made outfit planning a mess, but inclement weather  isn’t an excuse for poor fashion.

Something I struggle with when spring and summer comes around is maintaining a seasonal WORK wardrobe and still remaining chic. Why? Because A. Summer style is my least favorite and B. Designers push strappy, breezy not-work-appropriate looks at my age group.

A Spring Closet: What to Buy and What to Toss!

March 19, 2013

Despite the good tips Jen offered in yesterday’s post I still have a love hate relationship with spring cleaning. I love buying new things for my closet, especially when the season changes- but I hate sorting through my old stuff, packing up winter clothes, and tossing items I just don’t wear anymore. But if I didn’t take the time to clean out my closet- I’m not sure I would even be able to find anything in it! When buying items for a new season, I try to keep in mind the idea of a “balanced closet”, keep the classics and trade out the trends:  for 1 new trend that I buy, I toss out 1 old trend.
