Christmas with the family

Dress - Thrifted, Belt - Wet Seal, Cardigan - NY&CO, Vest - Gift (Loft), Bracelets - Homespun Treasures (local store), Necklace - Limited, Earrings - Express, Tights - Hue, Shoes - Aldo

This was my Christmas Day outfit with my family.

I love this dress, it was given to me by one of my clients. She was done with it, had it in a bag to take to the thrift store when she remembered how much I loved it when I was in her closet and had done "Wardrobing" for her a few months ago. She decided to bless me with it and I am grateful. How awesome is that! Thank you!

Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas Eve

Sequin Tank Top, Skirt, Clutch, and Earrings - Express, Necklace - Limited, Ring - Charlotte Russe, Jacket - Vera Wang from Kohl's, Tights - Hue, Boots - Nine West from Marshall's, Red holiday lips.

This is what I'm wearing to Christmas Eve services to celebrate my Savior's birthday. Definitely not traditional red and green, which is probably why I love it. I will do color (I think) for Christmas day with my family (which will be posted next week).

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! May your day be blessed!

Snakeskin and Fur

Dress - Thrifted, Vest, Earrings, Clutch, and Leggings - Express, Ring - Charlotte Russe, Booties - Madden Girl via DSW, Necklaces - HRH Collections (borrowed from Amy, bless her heart!) I can't wait to get my own!

And now, I'm off to finish up last minute shopping and cleaning.

Have a fabulous friday!

Party outfits from some of my favorite bloggers

As promised, it's party outfits all week! Today I am featuring some of my favorite bloggers and their party ready outfits. Enjoy!

Lovely Pepa

A simple dress in a bright hue with a sparkle clutch and shoes. What's not to love?!

Late Afternoon

A fur jacket, vest, or scarf adds instant glamour to an outfit.

Curvy Girl Chic

I love how she makes this animal print dress, leather jacket, and killer booties look edgy, feminine, and holiday appropriate all at the same time. 

Atlantic Pacific

Bee shines on in stripes, sequins, and taffeta. Where I'm from I would definitely have to do tights with this or my bummy would be frozen.

Late Afternoon

I love the creativity of this outfit. Who would have thought to wear plaid with sequins?!

Brooklyn Blonde

I love the simplicity of this neutral outfit. This is the easiest party outfit ever, yet so glamourous! Would also be fabulous with black jeans and a silver or black sequin top.

I enjoy seeing other bloggers unique styles, and often use it for inspiration (for myself and my clients).

Happy Thursday!

Metallic Gold

Say hello to my client, Laura. She is ready for her Christmas parties in her skirt from The Limited, which becomes the focal point when done with basic black and complimentary accessories.

Skirt, Tee, and Jacket - The Limited, Short Necklace - Lauren for Ralph Lauren at Macy's, Tights - Marshalls, Shoes - Franco Sarto at DSW. Bracelet - Loft. Long Necklace and Earrings - don't remember. 

Laura, thank you for sharing your outfit with us. You look fabulous!

Party Time

I will be posting party outfits the rest of the week... of myself, clients, and favorite bloggers.

Loving my new velvet blazer...

...paired with my leather skirt (has been in my closet for 3 years), and sequin tank top.

Rocking red holiday lips.

Tank Top, (Faux) Leather Skirt, Necklace, Earrings, and Clutch - Express, Bracelet - Limited, Jacket - VS, Tights - Hue, Boots - Madden Girl from DSW.

Hope your week is great as you get ready for Christmas!

Perfect Red Holiday Lips

The holidays are a perfect time to rock the red lips!

Start with great tools. I will be using Lip Liner in Red Velvet, Lipstick in Micro Red, and Gloss in Contessa.

If you have warmer skin tone you will want to use Lip Liner in Scarlet, Lipstick in Polished, and Gloss in Contessa or Dulce.

Before you start, use a lip balm on your lips to keep them thoroughly mosturized. Then wipe the lip balm off so your Lip Liner will adhere.

Start by lining your lips with your Lip Liner...

...then fill in your entire lips with your Lip Liner. This will stain your lips and keep color on them even after drinking, kissing, etc....

Now liberally apply your Lipstick...

...over your entire lip.

Last, apply your Gloss over your entire lip for the perfect glossy red lips.

For a pouty full lip apply gloss only to the center of the top and bottom lip.

Rock your red lips and enjoy the holidays!

December Client Closet of the Month - 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.

Amy, it has been an absolute delight working with you (and will continue to be). I love how much you are enjoying your new wardrobe and how excited you get to put your outfits together! You are an amazing and generous person who's inside beauty shines through. It has been wonderful watching your confidence grow even more as you recognize that it's ok to have your own individual style! Thank you again for "modeling" for us and sharing your outfits with all our readers.

Button Up Shirt - H&M, Cardigan - Limited, Vest - Old Navy,  Earrings and Jeans - Express, Bracelets - Loft and Homespun Treasures (local store), Necklace - Jewels by Tonya (local talent), Booties - BCBG from DSW.

A simple yet fun outfit with the horse print shirt and bright vest.

Cami - Charlotte Russe, Shirt, Jacket, and Pants - Express, Necklace - Unkown (old), Earrings, Rings, and Bracelets - Homespun Treasures (local store), Booties - Marshall's.

Amy looks elegant and beautiful in her camel suit. I love that this is not a traditonal suit, and individually the pants and jacket could be worn 200 different ways.

Dress - Gap, Earrings - Boutique find, Necklace and Bracelets - Homespun Treasures (local store), Tights - Hue, Shoes - Loft.

It's party time and Amy is ready in a gorgeous ruffled black dress and sparkly accessories.

Amy said: What an amazing experience! Rhoda truly knows what she is doing! The excitement of getting rid of trash bags of clothes that were ill fitting from years of changes sizes from having our four children was refreshing!

I am amazed at the ability Rhoda has to come into my closet and know my style right away! The clothes she left in my closet and the new ones she picked compliment my personal style and daily lifestyle.

Thank you Rhoda for helping my find my style again, and feel confident in it! No more feeling like I need to follow a trend or buy something just because it looks good on someone else. I feel so confident in knowing what I love is truly "me"!

Rhoda, you are a total blast, and it has been so much fun working with you! I always look forward to it and would recommend this experience to everyone. You are truly as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside! Thank you so much!

December 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.

 

Shirt - Forever 21, Sweater - Gap, Jeans - Silver from Berlin Village Gift Barn (local store), Earrings and Shoes - Express, Necklaces - HRH Collections, Bracelet - Loft, Rings - Gift and Forever 21.

Amy's style is very elegant with a preppie feel. These outfits match her personality and are great for running around with the kids. As you may have noticed she wears a lot of flats, and obviously flats don't have to be boring!

Shirt - Target, Sweater - Old Navy, Jeans and Earrings - Express, Necklaces - HRH Collections, Bracelets - Loft and Homespun Treasures (local store), Scarf - Homespun Treasures, Shoes - Macy's.

Sweater - Old Navy, Scarf and Skirt - Express, Necklaces - HRH Collections, Bracelets - Homespun Treasures (local store), Tights - Hue, Shoes - Aldo.

This is such a sleek, polished, and modern outfit, yet so very simple in the pieces we used. It's all about the accessories!

Cape - Forever 21

A cape can add such elegance to an outfit. When buying a cape make sure it fits well in the shoulders to avoid looking like a giant ball. :)

Happy Friday!

December Client Closet of the Month - Day 5

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.

Tee and Cardigan - Express, Jeans - Limited, Belt - Target, Scarf and Bracelets - Homespun Treasures (local store), Coat - Old Navy, Booties - Madden Girl from DSW.

This is such as easy outfit yet looks put together due to the bright splashes of color. Accessories and a bold lipstick can take your outfit from ho-hum to Shazam!

Shirt - AE, Sweater - Old Navy, Vest - Gap, Skirt - Asos, Tights - Hue, Necklaces - HRH Collections, Bracelets - Homespun Treasures (local store), Shoes - Kohls.

A fun combination of patterns and colors. Too much for you? Simply do a solid button up or sweater, or both. Again, it's whether you feel pretty in it.

Shirt - J Lo Collection from Kohls, Jacket and Skirt - Forever 21, Necklaces - HRH Collections, Bracelets - Homespun Treasures (local store), Earrings - Express, Tights - Hue, Shoes - Aldo.

Amy loved this full skirt but wasn't quite sure what to put with it so she doesn't end up looking like a ballerina. I paired it with a bold/heavy jacket and accessories to give it an age appropriate and non-ballerina look. Adding flats as opposed to heels also helps "ground" the outfit.

Don't not get a piece of clothing if you love it but don't know what to put with it. Think outside your normal box and you will come up with something great!

Enjoy your day!

December Client Closet of the Month - 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.

Another easy, comfortable, and fun outfit that suits Amy's personality and lifestyle as a busy mom on the go.

Cami - Charlotte Russe, Sweater - Express, Skirt - Gap, Tights - Hue, Coat - Old Navy, Scarf and Jewelry - Homespun Treasures (local store), Booties - DSW.

At first when Amy was posing for me she was quite uncomfortable with the whole idea (not that you can tell). After awhile she loosened up and I even got her to twirl for me. I love these pictures of her! Thank you Amy!

December Client Closet of the Month - Day 3

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.

 

Button Up - AE, Sweater - Gap, Jacket - H&M, Jeans - Express, Handbag and Ring - Homespun Treasures (local store), Bracelet - Loft, Necklace - HRH Collections, Shoes - Macy's.

Colored jeans, cheetah prints, and plaids are a huge trend season. I put them together in one outfit for Amy, managing to still look put together and not over-trendy.

Denim Shirt - H&M, Coat - Charlotte Russe, Earrings and Jeggings - Express, Necklace - HRH Collections, Scarf - Homespun Treasures (local store), Shoes - Macy's.

A super easy, yet fun and bright outfit for this mom on the go.

Chambray Shirt and Jeans - Old Navy, Necklaces (one worn as a bracelet) - HRH Collections, Earrings - Express, Bracelets and Scarf - Homespun Treasures (local store), Shoes - DSW.

This is such a classic look, with edgy accessories. Amy added a bright lipstick for instant polish.
