What to Wear: Baptism, Afternoon Wedding or Confirmation

Baptism Confirmation What to wear

Let me be honest. It's May and I do not have a creative bone in my body! Sometimes you have to go with the real deal. So here you have my basic plan for my son's confirmation last Sunday. If you were there you saw this very outfit (minus the fabulous up-do, I ran out of time!). Hope you like it, I felt pretty and pulled together.

For events like a baptism, afternoon wedding, or confirmation the concept is feminine, chic, but comfortable. I did not want the focus on me but I wanted to look appropriate and stylish. A fitted sheath dress with nude heels and understated accessories fits the bill.

All white #ootd

All white #ootd
















  

 All white outfits are crisp and effortlessly fresh. It's hard to go wrong when you stick to one color palette and keep the accessories neutral. What could be simpler for a spring outfit?








  Check out this lovely jewelry line by two sisters in Charlotte:                                  Twine and Twig.
Twine  Twig turquoise necklaces
Their jewelry features a signature suede strap mixed with wood beads, shells horn and antlers. The necklaces mix well with neutrals and give a twist to your preppiest Lilly Pulitzer ensemble.

Outfit of the Day #ootd

Currently I am obsessed with this Anthro pencil skirt.
I love the tribal print and deep yellow. It is bright paired
with all my dark winter basics and will be perfect with a t-shirt
and sandals this summer. At this point in winter I advise 
adding pieces to your wardrobe that will transition well
        to the next season for maximum wear-ability.
Here I am (so serious!) with the gorgeous magnolia as back-drop. 
The skirt predominantly features black within the print as well as really
 deep pops of indigo.  I love the unexpected pairing of the black pieces
                                              with a navy necklace.

Leather Leggings Outfit


For months I have been considering some (faux) leather leggings. Finally, last month I made the plunge and I have really enjoyed wearing them. They elevate any regular black leggings outfit. If you are not a leggings girl, try coated jeans for the same vibe.

Leather Leggings Outfit
This is a fool-proof outfit that looks great on everyone:
long cozy sweater + black legging + black bootie/knee-high boots.

Just when you thought leather leggings were a one trick pony...They look fantastic with a tee-shirt, chucks, and a jean jacket for weekend wear.

Stylist Tips: Pairing Jeans & Shoes

It still amazes me that so many different styles of denim
 are simultaneously in style. There is truly something for
 every body type and preference. However, all these choices
 can be confusing. Here's a little stylist cheat sheet:

Jeans and Shoes Pairings #4
 Obviously, you can mix many of these shoes with different
 styles of jeans. This just shows you some sure bets.

What to Wear: New Year's Party

New Year's Party Ensemble

I love New Year's Eve! This year we are hosting a small gathering a couple days after to toast 2015. For a NYE party I like to feel festive but still comfortable. A cocktail dress paired with tights and booties fits the bill perfectly.

Look of the Day: Cyber Monday

Cyber Monday Fall Outfit

Sometimes you are just having a tunic kind of day. This is all I could manufacture out of my closet this morning. After all, it was a day of computer work and carpools. I have had a similar chambray tunic from J.Crew for years. It is fabulous as a cover-up in the summer and equally useful in the winter layered over slim tops. Just roll up the sleeves so the under-layer peeks out.

What to Wear To Thanksgiving

What to Wear To Thanksgiving

So if you know our families you know we dress up. Here is a similar look to what I plan to wear to an Oyster Roast, Thanksgiving lunch (and dinner) for that matter. One Thanksgiving meal in a day is for quitters! Wish me luck. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all! I am so thankful for all my family and friends as well as the joy of being together for the holidays.
