First official day of Spring is tomorrow, Friday march 20th: time for a little color in the outfit of the day.
Recent Barneys catalogue is all about the over skinny jean, so much more of a relaxed fit. We’ve got that going here too, with again, a loose Citizen’s shape. An easy fit (color, and print, so not our usual) silk blouse, bright nail color, and done.
Some clients are telling us they are ready to have a burn party for their black pants, it’s been a long winter.
Every day dress, a little color, it’s about time, right?
Two nights in a row went out to the same restaurant and wore the same blue jeans in small upstate New York ski town. While we’ll never really be over skinny here at every day dress, love our three squares way too much for that, one thing we’re feeling is that we just might be over the skinny jean trend for a bit.
For some clients it’s the absolute go-to: any shoe or boot will work regardless of heel height or lack of, and it’s the perfect runaround from dawn to dawn. 🙂 Just feeling the itch for a new cut. Until we can make the jump to the high-waisted sailor pant or even the flare, coming soon we know along with the wedge heel, it’s back to the old slouchy kind of boyfriend jean bought probably four or so years ago out on the west coast. Very fit friend thought it was nuts, why buy or wear loose jeans?
Well, it’s been a long winter and we need something new/old. So until those high-waisted white flared jeans get here, ordered them today, we are so over skinny, haha. Need the snow to melt, and fast.
Don’t you just the love the cool western modern decor? Two nights in a row, yes please.
While this won’t be interesting to all readers, we’ll get back to the normal stuff soon, here’s how we got through the last week:
When you’re a working mom, and let’s clarify this, all moms work whether it’s for pay or not, you’re day often and does change in a heartbeat. So what do we do? Go with what’s important and leave the rest for later, it usually and always gets done anyways.
Last Sunday hopped a plane unexpectedly and there I was in Boston for four nights. While we were doing the comfort thing of spaghetti and meatballs at Stella in the South End husband was back home serving up his specialty, pepperoni sandwiches, and no less dinner in bed.
Here is how we looked:
Here is how we felt:
Also going on at home was our Spring 2015 Trunk Show. Without pause colleagues Norina and Michelle took over brilliantly while Ethel, my mom, made the coffee and the beds, and kept the dishwashers going. Husband did the drive around, even the Tuesday Thursday 7 am drivers ed drop-off and the 5:15 and 7 pm girls LAX pick-up. It does take a village, sincere appreciation all around. xo
On Thursday morning second daughter did the uber thing for me for the 7am flight back to BUF and then met two clients at 9:30 am for last day of our Spring Trunk Show.
Barbara, let’s talk?
how about a white and silver leather jacket to get you in a good mood?
or the perfect cocktail/wedding/dinner suit?
and let’s end this post with the best desk to dinner dress out there 🙂
So, this working mom gives high fives to women and men everywhere that jump in, help out, and make the show go on, whatever that may be.
Every day dress, The First Day of Spring (Spring Equinox) 2015, coming this Friday, woot woot, a working mom.
Sometimes you’ve just gotta get up and go, having a go bag makes it easier.
Even if you don’t have the go bag proper like well-dressed MacKenzie on The Newsroom, having an idea of what you’d throw together at the last-minute is a good thing.
For quick trip to Boston MA, yes there really are abandoned snow-covered cars around, a couple of pair of jeans, two blouses, a nice new cardigan, and only the boots on my feet got me there.
Sample size beauty products, sunglasses, reading glasses, passport and wallet, all set.
Every day dress, what might your go bag look like?
If you’ve been anywhere near a gym these last four months, feel like breaking out, showing off, or simply body confident, here’s a little treat for yourself: this top can be tied and worn in eight different ways and comes in two colors, black and/or navy (ordered both).
Great piece for travel, where are we going?
Every day dress, travel top.

Here at every day dress we’re crazy for food, good food, and the day’s not complete without a proper dinner.
When the day/week/month gets busy we simply default to prepping the oven to 400 degrees and putting in whatever looks good at market.
Last night it was cod (again), asparagus (again), and roasted tomatoes, three different colors. Spinach salad (again), and more Chardonnay (again) and a real cloth napkin (always).
Been putting out chicken dinners for over thirty years now, yikes, and last night, finally garnished the thing with a small sprig of rosemary. Add a linen napkin and not bad for a Monday.
Marinated in olive oil, kosher salt, ground pepper, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary, cooked on the stove top and finished off with a balsamic vinegar and white wine reduction. A small steamed sweet potato, haricots verts, bread basket, and dinner done.
Yes, that’s a little chardonnay on the rocks- we hit a heat wave yesterday, 28 degrees.
Super quick, working trunk. Shown here a few accessories snapped on the iPhone. Gifting these to the Junior League of Buffalo Decorator’s Show House, a rite of Spring here in Buffalo NY every two years.
After a busy day, this is how we roll: hanging in the dining room on the floor checking the iPhone.
Working Trunk until March 12th. Dressing women in great clothes. For day 1 wore white tank, platinum cashmere cardigan, black leather wide leg pants, chunky white shoe boot, husband calls them ‘those stripper shoes’, haha.
Every day dress, working trunk now until March 12th, have a great weekend all. Thank you Norina and Michelle, good day.
It’s Thursday, so let’s throw back a little: November 2013 had the pleasure of meeting Rebecca Minkoff viaTony Walker & Co. and the WNY Women’s Foundation. She was there in support of women and children and breaking the poverty cycle in our community.
By profession she does bags, shoes, clothes, so naturally we love her. Really don’t remember a lot about the afternoon but do remember exactly what she was wearing, all black, with a great neon blue manicure, and that she talked about family, and her brother. Loved that.
There was an auction, so naturally bid on one of her great bags. She signed it ‘To Rebecca XO Rebecca Minkoff’.
