Three Cheers for Color!

This snappy jade green is one of those colors nearly everyone can wear! It’s a beautiful color as summer marches on. You can also wear it into the fall, which is what I like about it. The Jade really shines in this pretty off-the-shoulder dress by Charles Henry. Consider reaching for this bright, summery color […]

Men’s Casual Clothing is Fun

Indianapolis Personal Stylist for Men When it’s hot outside I like to wear to shorts. So does everyone else! The tricky part is finding an ensemble that’s flattering and comfortable. For men, Nordstrom.com has some great options. When I was taking the Men’s Wear Class in New York City last summer, I was rather surprised […]

Dress it Up!

It’s vacation season; it’s warm and sunny, and the summer stretches out to meet us. What a great time to add some new dresses to your wardrobe, ladies! They are easy to wear, and they flatter you. I wrote this story for Kit magazine, and it features some dresses you will love. Some are more […]

The Shark Bite that Doesn’t Hurt!

Ever heard of the Shark Bite hem? I thought this type of dress was also called the handkerchief hem–think that is the old word for it. Anyway, I have two dresses with this type of hem. They are fun and surprisingly flattering–especially if you want to wear something a little shorter but not mini. I […]

My Problem and Fashion Fix!

Hello Ladies. Ever bought a piece you really like, pair it with something you have and find — it just doesn’t work??? You don’t want to spend too much time try to find something ….but. I bought a pair of black and white polka dot straight ankle pants–very comfortable, too, in all cotton with a […]

More Fun Summer Dresses

As summer gets closer, I always like to find some long-sleeve options for casual dresses. Sometimes you just don’t want a long sleeve — it’s cold inside, you are out later and it cools down — or maybe it’s not even warm yet in your area — yes, Indiana weather. Rain, rain go away… Anyway, […]

We All Love Maxi’s!

Maxi dresses are hitting the stores, and I love to look at all of them. There are so many choices, it’s hard to choose. The one maxi I already bought is from Tommy Bahama. I could not believe how great their store is–I found a couple when I was on vacation. I have a graduation […]

Summer’s Perfect for Gingham

We’ve seen gingham for a couple of seasons now, but it’s ever so perfect for summer as the temps heat up and we turn to more casual, easy pieces during our downtime. I love gingham in cotton for shirts,dresses, skirts, even shorts. When you select your gingham pieces, consider your size. Petite women should think […]

The Best Investment You Will Ever Make

If you are like me, you’ve bought many raincoats over the years–many of them trench coats or colorful, almost dress-like coats for spring. These are fun and a great addition to your wardrobe. A couple of years ago, I spent more than $250 on a spring coat, which for me, at the time, was a […]

Pantone Color of the Year

Hello Fashionistas, Many of you might already know this, but the Pantone Color of the Year 2016 is Rose Quartz and lilac. It’s a pretty combination, one I used this past Easter. It was totally unintentional — I had bought a sleeveless lilac sheath and needed a coverup. I choose a cropped pale pink shrug. […]
