The Opposite Of

I went through a few different titles for this blog post, all of which were words I have never used to describe myself - unfussy, low maintenance, simple, etc. I know that for some of you a silk blouse, four inch heels, statement earrings, tuxedo blazer, and a beaded purse are the opposite of the words mentioned; however, this outfit is plain in comparison to the multiple accessories & layers, at least one pattern, red lipstick, or a belt around the waist that's part of my everyday. Ya gotta step outside the comfort zone every once in a while - maybe I'll even wear a plain tee in the next post!

Spring Fever

It might be because I am in North Carolina this week and it's a balmy 65 degrees, but I'm thinking spring! It's time to retire my tights and and recreate any of these warmer weather outfits...who's with me?

Streopard

The "streopard" is a new species...half tiger and half leopard and always ready for cocktail hour.

Canadian Tuxedo

I love a Canadian tuxedo, and worn with the right pieces, it can be chic. I can see some of you scoffing at this very idea and I understand. We all remember the denim catastrophe that was JT and Britney at the AMAs in 2001, right? As far as rules to live by when wearing denim on denim, here they are: 1. Pick jean pieces different in color - light for one and dark for the other; 2. Wear a tweed, tuxedo, or black blazer, or even a fur vest to top off the shirt and incorporate another texture; 3. Toss on some jewelry since the last thing you want is a minimalistic look; and, 4. Keep one (or both) of your jean pieces loose. Even though today of all days is a day to be American, try it out and bring a lil bit of our northern neighbors into your street style at some point this season.
