Spring Fever at Neiman Marcus CUSP

March 22, 2017

Neiman Marcus Cusp Spring Preview ShowLast week I had the honor of co-hosting a spring fashion show at Neiman Marcus featuring contemporary brands from their CUSP department.  It was so fun to share my excitement for spring fashion and introduce several of my favorite trends and must-have items.  Not to mention, I had a blast with JJ, the manager of CUSP, and my fellow co-hosts Kirsty, Carolyn of Hey Pretty Thing, and Molly of Molly’s Musings.  And Neiman’s knows how to throw a good party!

What Jenn Wore Seattle bloggerSpring Trend Essentials Neiman MarcusJimmy Choo Purple MulesSpring Wardrobe ShoppingBlack and White Tops for SpringMy friend and fellow blogger, Dawn of Party Til Dawn…obviously we’re loving black and white flare sleeves! Mine is Alice + Olivia.

Rag & Bone Striped Sweater White Jeans‘My Signature Style’ was my first look.  What’s not to love about a classic navy and white stripe for spring? Add a white jean in this season’s must-have cropped, flare silhouette, and a punch of color with a pom pom backpack and your wardrobe is ready for warming temps.  Also, would this be my signature look without a pair of sneakers?!  And these embroidered Ash sneakers could be worn with literally everything in your closet!  Finally, I layered a more cropped sweater over a longer shirt with contrasting vertical stripes in a similar color palette.  Often women fear the more cropped lengths that seem to reappear each season as the sun nears the earth.  Layering is a great way to wear more cropped tops yet feel comfortable and stylish.

Tory Burch Pom Pom BackpackDerek Lam Shirting Dress‘Shirting Reimagined’ was my second look.  The off-the-shoulder trend continues to be popular this season but there are also so many new silhouettes that play off this theme (one shoulder, halter, creative shirting detailing and tying).  Here I’m styling a two-piece dress by layering an additional off-the-shoulder white poplin shirt in between the two pieces (the dress is a slip dress with a sleeveless button-down shirt over).  The sleeveless top, which ties in the back, then becomes more like a vest in this outfit.  I love the versatility of these 3 pieces – worn together as here, or worn multiple ways separately.  Such a wise investment!

Spring Office Wardrobe‘Desk to Dinner’ For my third look, I demonstrated that a simple change of accessories can take you from work to after-hours drinks.  As evidenced in this outfit, you don’t need to change up your entire professional wardrobe with the changing of the season.  Classic black pants can be paired with a busy floral print blouse, topped with a neutral boucle jacket and finished with spring’s favorite shoe: the mule.  Simply adding some florals and neutrals to your go-to look can entirely change your outfit.

Embroidered Bomber Jacket Alice + OliviaFor an after-hours look, there’s no need to head into the restroom for an outfit change!  I added a bomber jacket with this season’s hottest trend: playful embroidery.  With a quick shoe change into these show-stopping colorful mules and swap your tote for a lucite clutch; you’re ready for an evening out! Outside of the office is a perfect time to play with more whimsical trends and allow your personality to show, as this is an opportunity to really go big but still be appropriate (especially if drinks are with colleagues).

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.
