I have always been a fan of a cotton poplin shirtdress. When my husband was a wedding photographer and I was his assistant, my uniform was a black cotton shirtdress with a full skirt and deep pockets. Rain, humidity, historic buildings without A/C, climbing under tables to plug in lights, squatting and kneeling on grass…
If you follow me on Instagram (which you should because I share completely different content in my Instagram Stories and more outfits in my feed) you know I got all of my Target Designer Dress Collaboration orders last week. I ordered a lot of styles, knowing at least one wouldn’t work and would have to…
Okay, let’s talk about ruanas. I’ve loved ruanas for winter and always have one; they’re great to throw over most everything for warmth without bulk or restriction. But summer ruanas… they can feel a bit cliché, like I should be rocking them with some cropped wide-leg linen pants with an elastic waist, orthopedic sandals, transition…
This January, I went with friends to Palm Springs. Our last day, the car packed up for our drive to San Diego for a conference I was attending after our getaway, we stopped for coffee. And next door to the coffee shop was a vintage boutique – Iconic Atomic. We stopped in, though I figured…

Oh, and I have…

Can you believe fall is almost here? While I’m still wearing my shorts and sundresses, I know I need to start thinking about my fall wardrobe. And this fall, I want my wardrobe to be comfortable, machine washable, and enjoyable to wear. I’ve achieved all three with this outfit from Chico’s that is classic with…
When I performed a closet cleanout earlier this spring, I realized how rarely I wear skirts. I ended up purging a half-dozen skirts from my closet, keeping only two. The process made me think a lot about skirts. I buy them because they look pretty… but I rarely find them something I reach for. That…
