Just as I was starting to get acquainted with fall styling, winter weather blew in to throw everything for a loop. I don’t know why it’s been so difficult for me to accept the season, but this year just hasn’t felt like fall yet. Until now, when we have quite obviously moved into winter. A…

The October Skort
If you thought my obsession with the skort would end with the close of the summer season, you’re dead wrong. This is a love affair that transcends seasons! What was once the summer skort, is now the October skort. Here’s how I’m styling this beloved piece for fall. One of the many things that I…
Personality Over Practicality
I love a functional outfit. There’s nothing like feeling fully capable of taking on all that the day has in store. High temperatures? A lot of walking? No problem. I’ve got an outfit for that. I’ve learned over the years how to combine my love for function with my love for fashion to create outfits…
All About the Contrast
I fear that I’m starting to sound like a broken record when it comes to my love for juxtaposition. It’s one of my favorite style tricks, as it always produces the perfect amount of visual interest. Whether it be between the white dress and the black accessories, or between the short hemline and tall boot,…
These Boots Were Made for Summer
Last summer, I figured out that seasonal pieces don’t necessarily need to remain seasonal. With the right amount of motivation and a little creativity, certain pieces can be worn year round. This proved especially true for my beloved pair of riding boots. Summer styling brought these boots out of a years long hibernation, and gave…
Riding Boots but Make it Tennis
If there’s any style trend I’m especially good at, it’s wearing things for the opposite of their intended purposes. For example, I love wearing blazers and loafers when I’m not going to be in an office, Dickie’s overalls when I won’t be doing any form of building or gardening, and athletic wear when I’m definitely…
Wednesday Blues
Hello April! I usually welcome the start of a new month, but this morning I woke up feeling a little melancholy. Several consecutive cloudy days have me missing the sun and feeling more than a little tired. This morning I felt less like my normal self, so I decided to reach for pieces that are…
A Winning Outfit Formula
You know how cartoon characters always wear the same outfit? The days change, but their signature looks remain the same. I’ve long wondered what my “cartoon character” outfit would be. If I could only wear one signature look until the end of time, what would I choose? I guess it would be this dress/boots/tights combo–with…
The 90s Called
Hello 90s fashion! I love you! Of all the decades and all the trends, there’s something about this style that feels infinitely timeless. It also helps that it’s so easy to recreate from things already in my closet. Today’s look is vintage inspired, and feels a little experimental thanks to the straight leg jeans tucked…
A Summer Dress in Winter
I’m all about everything winter throughout the month of December. The frigid temperatures make for cozy days spent indoors by the fire, with a mug of something warm and delicious. In December, the holidays are in full swing and the cold weather feels almost festive. However, once January rolls around, I’m over it. Christmas is…
