our trip through Central Park

A highlight of the trip was our tour through Central Park in a pedicab. 

So, I thought Central Park would be nice but I was not prepared for it's extravagant beauty and the emotions it evoked. Absolutely amazing and breathtaking. 

Love these girls.

An easy outfit of printed pants, denim jacket and Converse for another day of walking.

Miriam rocks polka dots, brights, and studded shoes.

Mary in a bright, fun top and jeans from Maurices.

Our driver, tour guide, photographer and now friend, Zlatan. If you are in the NYC area or planning to visit, find this man or call him (212-729-8831) for a tour through Central Park. You won't be disappointed.  

This describes our trip perfectly.

girlfriends in NYC

Two of my girlfriends and I spent a few days in NYC last week celebrating our birthdays. And celebrate we did, mostly by shopping and eating our way through the city.

They so kindly agreed to pose for me for the Outfit of the Day. Thanks girls.

We had this beautiful patio and gardens at the complex we stayed at (thanks Jared and Elizabeth) but didn't get to enjoy it to much since we were always on the move.

Our day was bright and colorful just like our jeans.

 And somehow I couldn't keep my balance. Pathetic, I know (and I'm wearing flats).

It was a happy colored skinny jeans day indeed.

A simple top, jeans and cute flats are the perfect outfit for an entire day of shopping and running errands. At least in my world it is. What is your "perfect" all day shopping outfit?

Yes, I am still wearing white after Labor Day and plan on doing so as long as it's warm. Do you wear white after Labor Day or do you follow "the rule"? Who came up with that anyway?

Client Closet of the Month - Couple's Style, day 7

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.

Matt and Sara are absolutely adorable!

Photo-bombed by the 4-yr old who was getting very tired of me "using" his mom and dad. "Why do you keep taking their pictures" was the main question. :)

Tee and Jeans - Express

Shoes - Kohl's

The perfect weekend outfit.

Top - Loft

Jeans - Express

Handbag - Coach

Sandals - Clarks

What a perfect Fall outfit. It's muted, yet a great color combination with a bright pop of turquoise in her ring.

This outfit is Sara's last hurrah to summer before it's over. 

The sweater and skirt were both recent purchases but she had not planned on wearing them together. So quick, before it's to late, wear the yellow skirt.

Sweater - Limited

Skirt - Loft

Sandals - Clarks

Matt and Sara, thank you so much for your time in letting me work with you and sharing yourselves with everyone this week. I have never laughed so much during a Client Closet of the Month photo shoot as I did with the two of you. You made my day and my week! Keep doing what your doing because your smiles light up the world around you.

Thanks again, Rhoda

Client Closet of the Month - Couple's Style, 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.

Shirt and Jeans - Express

Shoes - DSW

Another typical work outfit for Matt.

Dress - Loft

Cardigan - Limited

Necklace - J Crew

Boots - Macy's

A great work outfit for Sara which can easily transition into evening or weekend. A knit dress is one of the easiest pieces to work with in a closet due to it's versatility.

Jacket - Old Navy

I love how quickly you can change the look and feel of an outfit by simply changing out the cardigan for a leather jacket. Monochromatic, chic and comfortable.

Matt in a tee, button up and jeans, a great look for playing in the band at New Pointe Community Church.

Sara looks like a sporty mom-on-the-go. Having a great fitting tee and jeans is just as comfortable as a tee and sweats but doesn't look like you have given up on life. Yes, I just said it and you are welcome to disagree with me.

 However, remember the Seinfeld episode where George always wore sweatpants? (I attached it below to jog your memory) Well I was the girl who always wore sweatpants until this episode and the hubby told me that I was George. Harsh, but true. And now I thank him for it and do not own sweatpants and you will never see me in them. Ever. The end. ~ Rhoda

Client Closet of the Month - Couple's Style, day 4

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.

Matt was really getting into the whole posing thing and was even trying to perfect the "girly blogger pose". I have never laughed so much while playing photographer for my Client Closet of the Month.

Yep, he is definitely getting into striking a pose. (the football was his idea)

Shirt and Jeans - Express

Shoes - DSW

Sara looks fabulous in her colored pants and heels with a little stripe on stripe action going on. She wasn't so sure at first but loved the end result. This would be a great date outfit or she could do flats and wear it to work.
