Sometimes it’s all about the handbag. 👜

If you’re looking to add something extra to an outfit or want a statement piece, consider a print handbag. I love having a unique bag, especially with a monochrome or simple outfit.
While I like the white and yellow together, I thought it needed a little more color, which is why I reached for my coral and yellow Coach bag. I already had it in my closet, and I cannot tell a lie—my husband actually picked it out and gave it to me as a gift! As I mentioned earlier this week, I like to hold on to things until I have the perfect place to wear them! I never “give up” on a piece.

Do you always have to know where you’re going to wear something before you buy it? While it’s fun to know where you going to wear, it can also be fun to buy the dress and figure it out later! Which is what I am doing with this dress!

I found it (on sale) and fell in love with it. Since it’s a classic, yet unique style, I know I will find a place to wear it - and when that time comes, I will be so happy I have this dress!

If you haven’t considered Olive Green as a neutral before, now is the time to think about adding it to your wardrobe. Here’s why:

Olive Green is an earthy, muted tone that pairs well with a wide variety of other colors, the same as your “traditional neutrals” : black, white, gray and beige. It is different from more vibrant greens in that it is understated and versatile.

It’s easy to wear because it complements both warm tones (rust, mustard or camel) and cool tones (navy, charcoal or pink.) It is also a color that works well for both casual and professional settings, which only adds to its reputation as a neutral shade. It also pairs well with both bold tones and softer palettes, making it a wardrobe staple!

How do you feel about the leopard trend? Do you like a little or do you like a lot? For me, I lean towards using leopard as an accent piece, in smaller doses. But there are occasions when I like a little bit more, like this leopard jacket from zara. I like that it’s a little more casual and I will wear it more often that way.

When you scroll through the photos, you’ll see smaller pieces that I’ve added to my closet. The first is my leopard handbag from Kate Spade. I intentionally created a black and brown outfit so that my bag would be the center of attention.

For my jeans and black turtleneck, I added leopard sneakers. They add an element of fun and they are a great transitional shoe to get us from winter to spring.

Burgundy has been an amazing color all season, but it’s time to make way for its replacement: powder pink. Pink expresses optimism, romance and femininity, all a part of the trend for spring.
This shade of pink is a softer pink, not the bright Barbie pink of recent years. It’s definitely a little more toned down and therefore can easily be paired with more colors.

While I love pink by itself, I especially love coupling it with other unique shades. Because we will be transitioning from burgundy to pink, one of my favorite combinations for right now is the two of them together. You can blend in pink with the burgundy pieces you already have in your closet.

I also love pink with chocolate brown and, as we move closer to warmer weather, you can easily pair iti with Pantone’s Color of the Year, Mocha Mousse. So, for now, think a pink sweater under a chocolate brown leather jacket and for later, think of a pink top with a mocha mousse skirt. A pink sweater or sweatshirt is also a great transitional piece for early Spring. When it’s still cool enough to wear a sweater, but you are so ready to put your black away, pink is a great way to go.

You loved my video on my favorite fair isle sweaters, so here are a few more.

January is the perfect time for these sweaters - they carry on a bit of “festive” from December and they fit the cold and snowy season!

I love talking about sequins, velvet and all things holiday this time of year…but what about simple holiday jeans outfits? I’ve got several for you, especially if you’re over 50!

Like probably many of you, my family dresses pretty casually for the holidays - we all just want to be comfortable. But you CAN be comfortable and festive as well. (No Spanx needed here!). I’m sharing looks with multiple styles of jeans - from colored jeans like ivory and black, to classic denim and to even pearl embellished jeans. You can make all of them festive with just the right tops.

It’s silver and gold time! If not for the holidays, then definitely for New Year’s Eve! I’ve put together my favorite collection of tops and accessories to easily create your look!

I’ve always romanticized sitting around a cozy fire in a ski lodge…even though I don’t ski. But I can still love a great fair isle sweater!

As we move into January, I just love this look. It’s still a little bit festive but it has a cozy feeling as well. There are so many different colors and patterns to pick from that you could wear a new sweater all month long - not that I recommend that!

Another one of my Amazon finds that was quoted on Bustle.com. I wanted to share the fact that I like to recommend things that I have truly tried - so that you feel comfortable that I have first hand knowledge of the products.

Like this faux leather jacket - it’s great find for under $50. It’s soft and buttery with a great fit. Sometimes with leather the arms can be too long, but this one fits and feel great!
