impress for less
How can you impress for less? A lot of women ask me how they can dress for less while still looking stylish and put-together. So here is a play on the Dress for Less outfits that appear in most fashion magazines. You know what I mean, the designer outfit that costs thousands of dollars vs the outfit that costs hundreds of dollars? It is true that the “cheaper” version is much cheaper than the designer version, BUT it is still too expensive for most of my clients. So here (to the left) is a fabulous outfit with a total cost of $328.50. Here is a similar more budget friendly outfit: Sweater – $24.99 Skirt – $25.20 Cami – $16.00 Necklace – $7.80 Belt - $19.70 Total Cost $93.69 Total Cost of the budget friendly outfit -=...

Are you tired of feeling frumpy or blah? Do you hide in your clothes? Are you in your 30’s, 40’s or 50’s and unsure what is age appropriate or even unsure where you should be shopping? If you answered yes to even one of these questions then you are in dire need of a style overhaul. And it is really simple to do! Honestly! Plus it is fun, I promise! It comes down to just knowing your body shape and dressing it appropriately. You can minimize hips, wide shoulders, a big butt (so many of us want to minimize this body part) emphasize or de-emphasize your chest, lengthen your legs and accentuate or minimize your waistline. There is no big secret. It is simply this – Know you body shape and dress it right! Below I have listed a few basic style rules to...

give thanks to your clothes
Do you have a favorite dress or favorite pair of jeans or a favorite pair of sexy shoes? That the mere sight of makes you glow with delight? Does your favorite outfit remind you of the way your husband looked at you? Or of that woman co-worker who said how pretty you looked that day? Or maybe you signed that new client while wearing that perfect dress? Do you go into your closet in the morning and smile at your clothes hanging there because each one makes you feel fabulous? Or maybe say thank you to the store where you bought the item? What are you thankful for in your closet? I hope you have at least one thing in your closet that you are thankful for! It is so important to go into your closet and see clothing that makes you happy, NOT see clothing that makes you...

I was shopping with a client for her fall wardrobe last week and we had so much fun trying on all the latest trends. But when shopping for your Fall clothing keep in mind that you want your wardrobe to be 70/30. That means 70% classic pieces and 30% trendy pieces. One classic piece you need for your fall wardrobe is a pencil skirt. A pencil skirt That ain’t going to fit me.” fits every body at any size.
