First, how is it already July?! This year is half way over and I feel like it JUST started. Which makes me look back on my goals at the beginning of the year... maybe you remember my post about cutting back and taking a shopping detox? Well its now been 6 months and I can … Continue reading No Shop July
If you know me or regularly read the blog you know that jackets are my weakness. I know that I have far too many but I can't help it. In Nebraska I wear a jacket about 9 months out of the year so I feel like the jacket is often the only part of my … Continue reading Lightweight Jackets for Spring
Summer to Fall and Winter to Spring are always major transitions in terms of wardrobe (at least here in the Midwest). Of course the change of seasons doesn't happen over night so it usually requires a bit of layering and being strategic with outfits. During these transitional periods there are a few pieces that I … Continue reading Best Pieces to Transition Between Seasons
I could never deny the fact that I love clothes. I didn't used to have this obsession, but I think after wearing a school uniform for 7 years it took me a while to not only find my own sense of style, but enjoy the process of expressing myself through what I wear.Even though I … Continue reading A Favorite Accessory
This is my second year of blogging during the time of the big Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Same as last year, I won't be covering the sale or sharing my "sale picks" and "must have pieces" like most bloggers are this time of year.

At the beginning of the year I started doing "Capsule Wardrobe" posts for the season. When I decided to take a break I decided to hold off on the capsule posts for a bit-hopefully I will get one up for Fall when the time comes. So while I won't be sharing a Summer Capsule Wardrobe … Continue reading Warm Weather Staples
I have never been one to agree that "beauty is pain". Sure, I have spent my fair share of time wearing tall heels or tolerating a bit of discomfort in a pair of shoes, but I don't sacrifice my own comfort or dignity for a pair of shoes or new trendy item. The older I … Continue reading Choosing Comfort
Given the choice I think I would probably wear a dress most days, especially during the week. They are just so much easier to throw on and usually more comfortable. It would definitely make getting ready for work a lot easier. So why don't I wear a dress every day? It is hard to find … Continue reading Dresses for Everyday
For 7 years I wore a school uniform. Of course we had the occasional "dress down" day and I wore regular clothes on the weekends, but after graduating from the uniform it took me a while to really figure out my own personal style. Honestly it wasn't until the past year that I really started … Continue reading Dressing For You
If you were to look inside my closet you would probably notice that it is most filled with neutrals, basic pieces and lots of stripes. I used to think that basic pieces meant boring and that in order to wear something fun it needed to be new, trendy or bold. But lets be honest, that … Continue reading Wardrobe Basic: Layering Turtleneck
