happy blue

[easyrotator]erc_50_1365023256[/easyrotator]

Happy Birthday to twenty-three year old twins, today, April 3rd. Happy that life moves on, a little blue that birthday girl will be celebrating with her sister in Boston and law school son, well, he is studying.

For dinner with one of the twin’s decided to wear a blue silk dress. Been on the road now for one solid week, this dress takes up to next to nothing in the luggage, needs a quick press, and with one pair of packed black sandals and one gold clutch, dressed and ready to go.

Pack light, travel well, and every day dress will be lighting the candles and toasting and missing you, Linnie, Happy 23rd.

Here I go, way too much time on my hands, dress by Worth New York Spring 2012. Probably need to get back to the desk soon.

going long

[easyrotator]erc_46_1365002446[/easyrotator]

For poolside barbecue while visiting friends in their high-rise condo, opted for going long. Skin was a little sensitive from too much time at the beach so couldn’t even consider tight jeans, haha. Dress from last year was super comfortable, styled it by borrowing fourth daughter’s cross body bag in light pink and new Chanel sneakers, to give it kind of a modern kick.

Love the simplicity of a dress, and love love when it’s long and comfortable. Love that it exposes a little skin and keeps a little to the imagination. Love too that the extra length also helps cover some of the wear and tear the legs have taken while having such a good time all these years. 🙂 Again, this one packs well and you simply need to take it out of your bag and go. Total win win.

Dear friend can certainly do short shorts and fitted tee, she’s got the body and being super fit is her profession.

If you too think you might like the idea of going long, two great options are coming up at Summer 2013 Trunk Show. Included for you are images of models by profession in the red and chocolate. Can’t wait for Summer Trunk Show? Email me here, happy to help you get every day dressed.

dress as dress

When something works, consider multiples. Happy almost birthday, soon to be twenty-three year old twins. Really feel like I willed those two, loved being a mom so much.

Birthday wishes aside, dress, this time in sunshine yellow, same one as seen before in black, finally worn as dress.

This was the perfect thing to put on for church with flat sandals while in a resort area. Had I been citywide would have definitely worn the heels. Flat sandals made it super easy to beat the parking crunch, pulled in about 1/4 mile from the church and simply walked, fast.

Wore it to make and serve plated eggs Benedict for the family, there were only eight of us, that dish is not really meant to be served buffet, and for the egg hunt.

Slipped it off for afternoon activities, slipped it back on for dinner with more family, thank you Kate, John, and kids.

This dress, for sure, is an every day dress. Looked like nothing on the hanger, knew it had super potential. Packs well, no wrinkles, no ironing, simply take it out of the luggage and wear. Bought it in multiples, black and sunshine, and can wear it in multiple ways, dress as coat, dress as dress.

Every day dress finally wears dress as dress.

Hope everyone out there had a really great Monday and wishing you an even better Tuesday.

sweater weather

Quick post: when it’s cooler than expected it’s always nice to have a great sweater to wrap up in. Even better when it’s reversible and not sized, that way it can be passed around. Twelve year old daughter wore this piece over her dress this morning for church services, cream side out, she looked great and warm.

Wishing everyone a joyous Sunday. Sending love to all, xoxo.

one more time

[easyrotator]erc_89_1364647760[/easyrotator]

Might as well go big or go home: here’s that black cardigan with Wolford tank underneath and pink AG jeans, as worn first night on vacation in Savannah GA. Reason for the post again about this wardrobe staple?

When helping women clients build great wardrobes over time, outfitting four fashion conscious daughters, and dressing myself for work, travel, play, if there’s a piece that makes life easier and getting dressed faster, let everyone know about it.

And, when you can machine wash it on cold, lay it flat to dry and it keeps on looking and feeling great, that’s investment dressing.

Ethel, you need this one, Laurie, I think you would love it too, and Melissa, you would wear this all the time.

third time’s a charm

[easyrotator]erc_27_1364611669[/easyrotator]

Still cold, third night in a row, dress as coat, no shame. Daughters ask, what are you wearing? No worries, I’ve got this little black dress packed. Add it to the floral jeans from last season, again, no shame, that black cardigan, and, done, dressed for dinner again.

Every day dress does total outfit repeat, make sure your clothes are there for you, and third time’s a charm. Not afraid to wear the same stuff many days in a row. Jennifer Steinkamp, you are my hero. Thinking every woman out there needs that black cardigan and dress as coat.

Don’t forget the blog party, Thursday, April 11th, 5 – 7 pm, Perfetto, 617 Washington Street, downtown Buffalo NY. Email us here if you like to celebrate, can’t wait to see you.

Three nights in a row, dress as coat, Worth New York Spring 2013

dress as coat

[easyrotator]erc_45_1364525882[/easyrotator]

When traveling, every single piece needs to be able to do double duty. Case in point: dress, in colder than expected temperatures, worn as coat, two nights in a row.

Thought I could leave the biker boots at home when visiting Savannah GA and Hilton Head SC in late March. Not so. Missing those things desperately.

Instead, had to rely on layer upon layer. Not so bad, as each piece that was packed can perform in multiple ways. White jeans? Twelve month staple. Black Donna Karan Collection long sleeve silk tee? Bought that thing eight years ago and it’s still going strong. Coat as dress? New piece from Worth New York Spring 2013. Totally earning its respect in the wardrobe: wore it last night out to dinner with that black cardigan and pink jeans, it was Savannah, tonight with Donna Karan tee and white jeans. Falling in love. Can’t wait to wear it as planned, as a dress, need about 2o more degrees though.

Layer your clothes, use a dress as coat, have fun, cold temperatures or not.

Every day dress out to dinner two nights in a row with dress worn as coat. Stay warm. xoxo

all photos, iPhone, not organized enough yet for the real camera, still on the run.

breaking the rules

Never thought it would come to this: wearing sneakers while flying. Oldest daughter is probably horrified, husband is actually loving it. Maybe sixty really is the new twelve.

Every day dress has been traveling like crazy, for business and pleasure. NYC, Boston MA, home in Buffalo NY for 36 hours and now Savannah GA, Hilton Head SC, and Naples FL, so sneakers it is, breaking the rules.

Have come to realize that there aren’t really any rules, fashion wise, anyways. Tossed on a black and white dotted scarf with a navy and white striped sweater. Rag & Bone jeans are way too tight, all that muscle haha, good thing the orange crush anorak covers the rear view.

Every day dress on the fly breaking the rules.

Have a great Wednesday.

underneath it all

[easyrotator]erc_0_1364342222[/easyrotator]

Beautiful clothing calls for beautiful, and sometimes fun, little nothings underneath it all.

Whether you wear professional suiting or skinny jeans and knitwear, taking a risk underneath it all helps to keep things fun and can either take the edge off or add to all that black.

Thinking of jazzing up your lingerie wardrobe? Shopping for luxurious designer lingerie doesn’t require you to be super skinny, which is always a good thing. A few curves here and there simply enhance the experience.

Feeling unsure? Ask for some help, those of us that like to help women with their wardrobes like to share our resources and help you get it right in many ways. Visit Nicole at Agent Provocateur in Boston MA, 123 Newbury Street. She can help you with the whole thing. Thanks Nicole.
