Only Two Words You Need To Remember

If you don’t remember anything else about today, remember these two words: Stripes. Patterns.

Stripes don’t have to be tricky. We can make them fun. So, what do you wear with stripes? Think animal print and floral. Yes! I promise it works. Side note: Let animal print, in any dress, skirt, shirt, coat, shoe, scarf, be your all-season staple because you can wear that print with everything.  Now back to the stripes.

With any color combination stripe that you are wearing, pair it with a solid bright-colored accessory. Then cover your feet in animal print. In the first photo, you’ll see my accessory is my scarf.  You can easily switch this look around by having your feet covered in a bright color and your let your accessory carry the animal print.

Another pattern you can rock with stripes is floral! Find a bag or shoes with a floral print that either pulls from colors in your stripes or compliments the colors in the stripes. Take a peek at the second picture for an example of this combination.

Now go serve looks!

Cheers to YOU!

The Devil Wears What?!

“Flowers. In Spring. Groundbreaking.” This line, full of sarcasm and shade, is probably one of my favorite lines from the movie, The Devil Wears Prada.

Speaking of flowers, who said florals prints are only for Spring and Summer.

Let’s throw another myth away -all together now!

Here’s how you can keep your florals warm in the winter. Layer them with a soft cardigan or let them peek out underneath your fur!

Cheers to YOU!

Ever Been Shocked, Pissed, & Frustrated?!

I was disappointed with something that happened with my business that was completely 

unexpected.  I was so confident that the outcome would be positive that I made plans, well into next year, that were dependent on that outcome. Well…

Shocked, pissed, frustrated became my first names after I learned of the confirmed outcome. My first inclination was to react. But that initial reaction would have been a Shocked, Pissed, & Frustrated show of fireworks. So, I paused and asked the simple question, “What do I do now?” Right after, the next thought I had was "take a week off". 

Take a week off?! I tried to avoid doing that until it pierced my ears like nails on a chalkboard, so I gave in and committed to taking a week off. The first couple of days got on my nerves until but I realized how exhausted I was. The break gave me some clarity.  I’m going to have to pivot.  There are aspects of my business, that I was not going to touch until years down the line, which are now staring in my face to focus on now!

If you have received a NO to something that you were confident was an “oh hell yes”, pause.  Take a moment to allow yourself to feel every emotion: anger, disappointment, annoyed-don't ignore them or pretend as if you're not bothered. After you take yourself through those emotions, your next action steps will be of clarity and not desperation. Remember a NO is progress. Allow yourself to pivot. You will start to imagine things that you either considered and put to the side for a later date or you may start to imagine new things. Either way, grab a drink and celebrate what's to come!

~Cheers to YOU!

In the studio thinking of what's to come!
