Happy day, dear reader! Who hires an Image and Wardrobe Coach or possibly a Stylist? Not just famous people! There are as many reasons for hiring a professional as there are clients. The reasons generally fall into "fish for me" and "learn to fish" categories. Neither is better than the other! They are just different.… Continue reading Stylists Are Not Just for Famous People
Happy spring, dear reader! For so many, the shoulder seasons of spring and fall are their favorites. They feel new and we aren't yet tired of the heat or cold to come! This spring (like many!) we are seeing pastels and sherbet colors everywhere. These less intense colors can be very flattering to many, and… Continue reading How to Wear Pastels Your Way
Happy day, lovely reader! I think the number one question I am asked is "How can I look more slender?"(Its corollary is "How can I look taller?") These two are related since if you look taller, you look skinnier, and vice versa. Think about a stretchy doll... The longer you stretch it, the skinnier it… Continue reading Style Tips to Look Thinner
Happy day, dear reader! Denim. Boy do we Americans love our jeans! Not just us, but the whole world loves denim. I am happy if I can wear it everyday, sometimes jeans, sometimes my jean jacket, chambray shirt, or tote bag. A daily denim fix may be the way my little bit of relaxed personality… Continue reading Denim on Denim

Dear reader, Years ago, my mother-in-law and I were out shopping. We were looking at an overpriced and flat-out ugly item. Her comment was that is was for someone with "more dollars than sense." I see outfits like those all the time... Expensive and often trendy outfits that wear the woman in them. Many people… Continue reading What Style is NOT!
Good day, dear reader! To tell an uncomfortable truth: Leggings are not pants. Leggings are not pants. Leggings are not pants. (Is three the magic number?) I know I will probably get hate mail over this. I understand. Leggings are comfy. Leggings are everywhere. We love our leggings. I love mine, too. But I don't… Continue reading Leggings are Not Pants
Some of the nicest people I know are! Happy day, dear reader! I know a woman who calls herself a Seasonal Slob. She is a summer-loving lady, even when that means 95 degree heat and 95% humidity. She does better in the warm weather and hates to be cold. If you met her in the… Continue reading Are You a Seasonal Slob?
