void of color

Neutrals... Love them all in one outfit or feel like it needs color?

When working with clients I find that most women love neutrals because they are "safe" and thought process free. I love pairing neutrals as I think they can be very dramatic and interesting when using patterns and adding accessories.

sequins and cheetah

Who said we have to save sequins and animal prints for the holidays or special occasions?

Why not wear them when you need a little sparkle in your day, or simply feel like wearing them.

butter yellow and window pane pants

An outfit I wore last week to an all day business workshop. Just because it's business doesn't mean you can't be a little creative and still look polished.

Now I do realize in my business patterned pants and creativity is OK but may not be for all work places.

Can you, would you wear patterned pants to work?

Jacket to Vest DIY

I have been wanting a white denim vest for awhile since I wear my regular denim one all the time. 

Going through my closet I found this white denim jacket I had not worn for awhile. Well...I started thinking... and after trying it on and making sure it was the length I wanted for a vest I got busy...

I simply cut the sleeves off as close as I could to the seam and then put a few hand stitches around the lower half of the arm hole to tack the seam in place.

After about 15 minutes I had my new white denim vest, and I can't wait to wear it.

Sometimes we simply need to shop our own closets in order to see our clothes in a new light.

Happy closet shopping and DIYing! Is that a word?

be brave and bright

I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

dramatic stripes

This 7 year old denim vest has been on serious rotation in my wardrobe lately. It's perfect when you want a denim jacket but without the warmth.

Over the years it's been on my recycle pile a few times and I always end up pulling it back out. So happy for that right now.

polka dots and covered buttons...

So it looks like I have white buttons on my jacket, right? Well if you look closely they are simply navy buttons covered in tissue paper. I was so excited to wear my new jacket I totally forgot to remove the tissue from the front buttons.  Yes, I went to church like this. Did anyone notice? I'm going to assume not.

Have a happy and sunny day!

moving along

I have recently moved out of my Rig & Co. studio (that I loved) simply because I felt like it was a wise business decision. Business continues as usual and I am thrilled as I moved into and am working out of the brand new The Beehive Hair Salon in Berlin, OH. Working when hairstylists Holly and Liz are around is an added bonus; there is always joy and laughter with those two.

rays of sunshine

A bright scarf and pair of shorts seemed appropriate on a day the sun actually shone here in Ohio. Plus bright colors and patterns just make me happy.

I hope your day is great, wherever you are.
