I've been wearing black leggings for...uhhh...too many years to count. And while they're not the most exciting item in my wardrobe, they're not exactly going anywhere, either. So I'm always on the lookout, especially in winter, for new ways to make this old standby feel a little more modern.
A black leggings spruce up, if you will.
This year,...
When I truly wear something over and over, I know it's a closet piece worth covering here.
My most-worn coat this fall and winter has been my beloved camel coat. It is a game-changer and magically goes with everything I try. It dresses up really casual looks and warms up all the black I like to wear. It looks...
"Boxy" and "cropped" are two of my least favorite words in the English language...when it comes to clothing. One of my favorite words? "Moxie." (A boy told me I had 'gregarious moxie' in high school and it hasn't left me.)
Typically this Reformation Luisa Crop Cashmere Blend Sweater wouldn't be on my radar. But, even I am not immune to...
My Mom and I recently binged on Netflix's Emily in Paris...both seasons. It's silly, it's light, it's fun. It was a perfect distraction. We loved it. The costume direction, however, was...surprising. (Sidenote: Her epic iPhone case can be found here.)
Emily in Paris features an American, Emily, who finds herself working for a PR firm in Paris for a year....
I almost always dress from the shoes up. Shoes (or boots) are the most weather- and activity-dependent, and I'm not one to suffer for fashion. So for each pair of shoes (or boots) that I own, I like to have a handful of go-to outfits I can rely on. That's not to say that I don't branch out, but...
There are plaids I find easy to style (black & white plaids, mostly) and plaids that I find...tricky. And high on my list of tricky plaids are plaids with big, beautiful, bold strokes of color.
When Maureen (one of the moms behind small biz Social Threads) texted me a picture of this plaid shirt jacket, I swooned. It has enough...
Over the last year, we've gotten tons of reader questions about the state of our skinny-jean-wearing nation. It's been under attack from Gen Z, leaving many of us wondering how to adapt. Now, we're not blind trend followers here -- there's a strong element of wear whatever the heck you want -- but there's something to be said for...
I'm not a gal who wears a lot of prints or colorful patterns, but I've often relied on graphic tees to add a bit of color to my outfits. Graphic tees add that little bit of interest (just like color or prints) but in a way that totally fits my style.
I've noticed lately that graphic tees, like...
I don't usually get excited over cardigans. However!! J.Crew juuuust dropped a long, belted cardigan (in 100% cashmere, no less) that is *exactly* the cardigan I've been looking for.
Not only is it made from a cashmere that has been certified by the Aid by Trade Foundation (AbTF ensures the welfare of the cashmere goats, protects natural resources, improves the...
I went from being the girl who hadn’t purchased denim shorts in (many) years to one who now has a range of styles and loves them ALL. It’s as if they began calling out to me like a fog horn --
“Aaaaammyy…Aaaaaaammmyyy”
Boy, I have been making up for lost time.
But out of my lovely collection denim shorts collection, there’s...
