Since the beginning of this blog, I have preached the benefit of having a mini capsule wardrobe of pieces in a seasonless fabric that can dress up or down. A shell, a pair of pants, a dress, a skirt, maybe a blouse… things you can mix and match that travel well. For years I suggested… Continue Reading What I Wore: Chico’s Black Label
Another week, another suit! I told you I am on a suit kick, but they’re so great for my wardrobe. I wear the pants alone with sweaters, the blazers with jeans, and the suits work for all the social events on my calendar! This one is from 1901 and is a great price and a… Continue Reading What I Wore: Another Week, Another Suit

Yeah, I do love me a floral maxi dress, and I have many an ELOQUII maxi dress in my closet that I positively adore.
