April 2012 Client Closet of the Month - day 6

Client Closet of the Month is where an established client receives a complimentary 2 hour Closet Shopping Service in exchange for her/him posing in outfits I put together of what they already have in their closet.

Dress - Loft, Cardigan - Limited, Sandals - Aldo, Bracelets - David Yurman


A knit dress and a cardigan...one of Lee Ann's favorite outfits, simply because of comfort. This dress will also be great worn by itself when summer turns up the heat. 
I'm thrilled to have her showing off her great legs again!

Dress - NY&CO, Cardigan - Loft, Bracelets - David Yurman
Lee Ann looks positively stunning in her animal print dress and cardigan. It's such a great summer outfit with bare legs (which she wasn't sure she wanted to do and just look at those legs) and sandals. We accentuated her waist with a belt we pulled from her hubby's closet since she didn't have one, thinking she couldn't wear one. I always tell my client's "it's my job to make you feel and look like yourself, however, it's also my job to push you out of your comfort zone." This is pushing Lee Ann out of her zone and I think the results are fabulous!

Dress - NY&CO, Jacket - Express, Belt - local leather shop
We added footless tights and switched the cardigan for her red leather jacket to create an edgier look.

And...here is her rock star face! I guess this is what an outfit can do for you.

Lee Ann loves wearing jeans, a simple but fun top and cute flats for ballgames with her family and running her daily errands.

Stripes!?!? Oh my!!!


Horizontal stripes...Do I? Dare I? This is a question I get all the time. Horizontal stripes can actually be very flattering if the clothes fit your body well. Fit is much more important than prints and patterns. This top actually conceals what Lee Ann considers her problem area, which is her tummy (she doesn't mind me telling you this), and puts the attention on what she considers her best assets, her chest and booty (she also doesn't mind me telling you this). I love that Lee Ann is comfortable in her own skin, it just makes her outfit that much better.

Her red leather jacket was a great addition to her wardrobe last Fall and I know she wears it all the time and with everything. Red can be worn with so much more than black and white. Try it with grays, tans, purples, blues or pinks. Remember, it's about feeling pretty in your clothes that makes your outfit great!

April 2012 Client Closet of the Month - day 2

Client Closet of the Month is where an established client receives a complimentary 2 hour Closet Shopping Service in exchange for her/him posing in outfits I put together of what they already have in their closet.

Dress - Limited, Cardigan - Charlotte Russe, Necklace - purchased in Africa
A simple tank dress with a long cardigan and gold flat sandals will take Lee Ann through a busy day, no matter what she has going on.

 I have said this before and I will say it again, a dress like this is quite possibly the best thing in the world to wear because, # 1 it's thought process free (you can pop this over your head and ta-da, it's a great outfit), # 2 it feels like you're wearing pajamas all day, but don't look like you just rolled out of bed, # 3 it's an all season dress...Spring - wear it like Lee Ann. Summer - wear it by itself. Autumn/Winter - add leggings, boots, jacket and a scarf. 

Lee Ann should be wearing this dress all the time but oddly enough she had both the dress and cardigan in her closet for quite awhile and wasn't wearing either. We all get in a rut of just wearing the same things over and over if we don't take time to weed out our closets. Get rid of the things you don't wear or don't fit anymore. All they do is clutter up your closet and hide the things you should be wearing.

A fun shot of Lee Ann trying to get her dog to move out of the picture.

Say hello to Lee Ann Miller who lives in Walnut Creek, OH and is a wife and Mom of 2 super young men. Along with her husband Daryl they own & operate The Miller Haus B&B. Lee Ann also appears as a regular cooking guest on FOX8 in Cleveland, FOX28 in Columbus, and does a weekly cooking segment on FOX11 & abc8 in Charleston, West Virginia. Lee Ann also works as a field editor for Taste of Home magazine.

Lee Ann first became a client when needing wardrobe assistance for TV segments. I have given her a wardrobe than can easily translate between these TV appearances and her everyday busy life. I wanted to give her a wardrobe that compliments her style and personality and is still appropriate for TV, something other than a basic button up shirt!   

Lee Ann will be appearing on our blog for the next week showing you some great outfits that I put together with pieces she already owned. Enjoy!!!

cheetah scarf, ripped jeans and a curvy backside


Why did I post a picture of my backside, you ask? Well, I wanted to show you how fabulous these jeans fit my curvy bum, and trust me I have not always been this comfortable and confident about my curvy backside. As a kid I was water balloon butt, among other not so pleasant names for you tushy. Therefore I always covered it up, trying to hide it. Since then I have become much more confident with my body shape and actually really love it. Is it perfect? No. Does it have lumps and bumps? Yes. Is it created in God's image? Yes! Good enough for me. 
My sister, Marilyn says "it doesn't matter so much what the contents are shaped like as long as they have a great container." These jeans, my friend, are a great container. If you are curvy and have problems with your jeans gapping in the back, order these beauties and let them create a fabulous tush for you as well!
This is not a paid advertisement, just me wanting to pass on what I love. :)

Thanks for reading and have a most fabulous day!

full skirt, pink jacket and cherries

A full skirt can be flattering on a lot of different body shapes. When doing a full skirt wear it higher on your waist than you would any other skirt to create an all-over slimmer look.

pink skirt, striped top and classic jacket

This is how I wear a basic tee to work all the time. Pair it with a great bottom and a classic jacket and you have yourself a great looking (and feeling) work outfit. I have had this jacket in my wardrobe for about 6 years. Yes, it's that classic!
This outfit will take me from a business brunch to an in-studio appointment, and later I will change the skirt for a pair of dark wash jeans to a Closet Shopping appointment. Wearing your casual and dressy clothes together will make it feel like you have a bigger wardrobe.
