Reworking My Wardrobe

May 25, 2016

Styling CulottesI’ve just finished my annual spring closet clean.  Nothing sheds more light on what you have (and what you actually wear) than trying everything on once and awhile.  I suggest doing this twice a year (once in the spring and again in the fall).  This way you can make fresh what you’re excited to wear and pass on the items you aren’t reaching for.  It also inspires me to wear the clothes already in my closet rather than being tempted to buy new pieces.  This outfit is a tribute to keeping the “old” in rotation and feeling inspired with what I already have!

How to Wear CulottesLayered NecklacesA great way to update your wardrobe is by adding new accessories.  Accessories are also an easy way to experiment with trends without spending a lot or committing to a major change.  For example, choker necklaces are back in a big way this spring and summer.  And, adding a jeweled necklace is an easy way to elevate even the most simple of outfits.  Dolce Vita Gladiator SandalsFashion & GraffitiSeattle Style BloggerCulottes for SpringCulottes…I’m still a huge fan.  They’re a great denim alternative as the temperatures rise this summer.  Unlike their cousin, the skinny jean, these are nice and airy.  And, this particular pair, is the softest of fabric.  A good purchase that I have continued to reach for a year later.  Not to fear, this pair is still around and on major sale (I’ve linked below)!Downtown Summer Style

What I’m Lovin’: Shopbop Friends & Family Sale

October 14, 2015

FP_sb_20151013_friendsfamily_1-0

Exciting news, especially for your fall wardrobe!  The Shopbop Friends & Family sale is live now thru October 15th.  This is a great opportunity to stock up on basics as well as invest in pieces, such as coats and boots, that will see you through the season.  Hurry, prices go up in 2 days and inventory is limited.

One word of advice on shopping a site-wide sale such as this one – use the search function to narrow your criteria; this could be by item type (ex. suede skirt), brand, and even size.  Or, shop my picks below.  I either own several of these pieces or currently have them in my own shopping bag!

Friday Favorites: Transitional Staples

August 21, 2015

image4xxl

I love/hate this time of year.  August is generally guaranteed to be the most consistently sunny month here in the Pacific Northwest; we usually take a long family beach vacation, and we celebrate 5 family birthdays.  However, the days become shorter (it is becoming increasingly more difficult to wake-up in the mornings), the shadows a little longer, and back-to-school is around the corner.  Don’t get me wrong, I love a cozy sweater, changing leaves, spiced lattes, and back-to-school shopping as much as the next person, but this transition is always bitter sweet for me.  I guess I want to have my cake and eat it too – or linger in my sundresses yet still wear my new fall booties!

With this in mind, I’ve selected several transitional pieces that you can be wearing now (like, right now) yet continue to pair them with fall staples as the weather cools (and leaves turn, kids go back to school…sniff, sniff).

Denim Dress: Easy with bare legs and strappy sandals now or layer under a cosy knit with tights and booties in the fall.

Lace-Up Flats: Screaming for a denim mini skirt in summer’s sunshine but just as easy with a cropped trouser as the weather cools.

Loeffler Randall

Wide Brim Fedora: Nothing better to keep the sun off your face than the wide brim, yet also perfect to keep your head warm in chillier temps.

Rag & Bone
Zara

Long Vest: Equally awesome when worn over a tank with your favorite boyfriend jeans or with a turtleneck and cigarette pants.

In keeping with the outfit post from earlier this week, Friday Favorites features black and white picks.  From graphic to simple, it’s easy to make a statement in this eye-catching combination.  Keep it chic with all black and white accessories, or add a punch of color with a bright shoe, handbag or jewelry.  It’s so easy to wear this combo, this may be your new go-to (it is mine)!

Scarf: Zara
Tank: Piperlime
Sneakers: Superga
Trousers: Joie
Handbag: Loeffler Randall

Black, White & Blue

September 17, 2014

I’ve been living in black and white lately – maybe it’s the transition from summer’s bright hues in preparation for the darker shades that fall brings.  If you follow my outfit posts on Instagram, you’ll see my variations on this outfit theme of late.  I’ve also been working more this month, which means fewer jeans and tees and more “professional” wear.  A silk top, such as this one, is a perfect transition piece because it is demure yet keeps you cool even in these lingering warm, early fall days.

Essential to tonal dressing (or really any outfit) is adding a pop of color and/or texture with accessories.  Here I add interest with the blue shoe and a bit of sparkle and edge with the statement necklace, worn on the outside of the blouse.  Finally, the clutch adds more texture and, because it is in the same color pallet as the outfit, it all seems to make sense.  In essence, your accessories should be telling the same story as the rest of your outfit.

Each day I’ve intended to post here. I greeted t Each day I’ve intended to post here. I greeted the new year feeling inspired with a renewed intention for my account; to share with you the goodies I love, wear, try. Unfiltered and honest. That’s what I’m here for. But then...2021 arrived feeling much like her older sister, 2020. Instead, I’ve avoided a lot of social media; choosing to tune into various news outlets and into my family. So, HERE WE ARE. A post proving that I got dressed yesterday, wearing some of my new favorites (these @flamingosshoes white boots!) and steady stand-bys (year 2 wearing this @notmondaymercantile beanie on repeat). I took the kids out after school to run a couple of errands and connect with a business I love to support; we made plans for a spring share. Man, it felt good to get out! And now, I’m posting early before I’ve read the morning news. So, it’s happened.

Please stay safe, remain respectful, and true to yourself. Social media is a beautiful way to connect, create, and inspire...but can also be a dangerous rabbit hole of misinformation and an opportunity for people to behave in a way they ordinarily wouldn’t in person. Off my soap box. Have a lovely Friday!#wordsfrommyheart #realoutfitgram #flamingosshoes #whiteboots #notmondaymoments
Happy New Year my dear friends! I’ve missed you Happy New Year my dear friends! I’ve missed you all but enjoyed a nice long break. Heading back home after some snow time and I’m feeling re-energized (for now). Isn’t it funny how a change in the calendar can make you feel different? Are you a “new year, new you” kinda gal or more indifferent? I do like a good reset. Even though we’ll be doing more of the same early this year, I’m feeling more optimistic. For now. Cheers to 2021!

Also, posted in stories a nearly identical photo of us from last January at the top of @schweitzer_mountain. While the photos look the same, it’s fun to think that we now are Sandpoint homeowners! A positive outcome of 2020. #newyearonthemountain #snowbest #schweitzermountain #skifamily
Snow plus a Christmas sweater...I’m checking all Snow plus a Christmas sweater...I’m checking all the boxes this year. Thinking of everyone not able to spend time with loved ones this year. I’m so grateful for our little family but really missing my parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, my in-laws.  Over a year seems far too long to be apart; but we all need to continue to be safe. It matters. #christmassweater #christmas2020 #staysafestayhome #vintagesweater
Let’s make merry! Although holiday traditions ma Let’s make merry! Although holiday traditions may look different this year; we have an opportunity to get creative and share in new experiences. Like the new-to-me homemade marshmallow recipe, @thekirstyfiles and I have the pleasure of bringing to you in partnership with @pacific_place. We encourage you to invite a few pals to a zoom date, pop a bottle of bubbly, and create these delicious confections together. I promise they’re relatively fool proof (I pulled them off!) AND a sugar-high afternoon spent with friends (even virtually) will be sure to get you in the holiday spirit! Tune in to Pacific Place’s IGTV or YouTube to see the full tutorial, including my gaff when my marshmallow began moving into the “hard ball” territory (note: this recipe does require a candy thermometer and the ability to read it!). Cheers to making the most out of holiday 2020! #homemademarshmallows #pacificplaceseattle #craftingtogether
Ooooh...how I love a good shopping day with a frie Ooooh...how I love a good shopping day with a friend. The belly laughs, chit chat, and groans (as we tried on a number of jeans) provided the escape from reality that I needed. Sometimes you don’t realize just how much you miss something until you get to enjoy it again!
.

Other things I love? Soft luxury cashmere, designer denim that fits like a glove, and packable hats (yes, packable!). All can be found @willaseattle; a small, women-owned boutique located in the heart of the Queen Anne neighborhood in Seattle. Be sure to check out our stories as @thekirstyfiles and I share holiday-perfect gifts for your sister, mother, girlfriends...yourself! Lucky for Kirsty and I, our husbands also know the lovely owner, Liz (and she has our wishlists on file)!

Also very near and dear to my heart, Willa is the epitome of shopping local. The shelves are stocked with unique, small business designs; including many Seattle businesses. When you shop local, you not only support your community but also curate a look all your own!

Continued chronicles of dressing stylishly for you Continued chronicles of dressing stylishly for yourself, aka #stayathomestyle. Sure, 2020 may be the year of the sweatpant (combined with a sleeping bag-like coat, as seen here). And yes, a mask chain is this year’s hottest accessory. BUT I still take care to actually get dressed each day. And while lipstick may no longer be a part of my daily routine (I mean, was it ever??), it’s still important to be pulled together..if only for my own mental health. And even if no one else sees it but the grocery clerk. #whatmamaworemonday #sweatpantsseason

On the eve of Black Friday sales bonanza, I hope t On the eve of Black Friday sales bonanza, I hope to inspire, remind, urge, and even beg you to ignore all of the crazy cyber sales that have been creeping into your inbox for the past week and instead SHOP SMALL this holiday season. Yes, perhaps it’s less convenient and even less of a “deal” but this pandemic is putting an even greater strain on the small and local businesses that are the absolute life blood of our communities. And, in addition to supporting an entrepreneur and neighbor, you’ll likely find more creative, individual, and unique gifts for your loved ones by shopping a small business.
