Quick post: runaround day. We’ve seen scarf as halter, and scarf as dress. Now, scarf as bracelet. Leandra of Man Repeller fame does it, so can you.

Take a long narrow scarf and wrap and tie. If you’re home alone you might have to use your teeth, haha. Great way to dress up the jeans (I know, again), and the second son’s black v-neck sweater.

It’s quick, and easy. Best part, the more you have to do the less I like to have accessories get in the way. This sits quietly on the wrist, no noise when you’ve got to go.

Every day dress, scarf as bracelet.

How did it get to Thursday already?

When traveling, and really just about any day, it’s easiest to wear certain things over and over. Buy well, wear often.

For day 2 of quick little in and out getaway, wore the same white jeans, added a belt, and tucked in the chambray shirt that if truth be told was the night before night-shirt, untucked of course.

One kind of rock and roll cuff, a pair of flats. Eye makeup, grocery store nude lipstick, and done. Nothing fancy or unusual here, simply an easy way to dress during your downtime.

Have a great weekend everyone, heading back north tomorrow morning.

Every day dress, same jeans, chambray shirt.

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.

Super quick post: it’s Monday and we’re prepping for Spring Trunk Show opening this Friday.

When you’re on the go a good tote is a great thing. Even better when there’s a story behind it and a saying stamped on there to remind you of things you’ve gotta do.

Let’s hear it for ‘The most effective way to do it, is to do it’. Amelia Earhart (1897 – 1939), aviation pioneer and author.

Love that thought. One of the amazing thing’s about ‘is to do it’ is what can come of it. Sure it involves risk, and uncertainty, but how about the other stuff?

By doing this job here of mine, the recruiting piece, simply called up this super-succesful and highly influential woman, Gail Riggs, on the phone one afternoon. She designs handbags, and now accessories, to honor iconic women in history. Her company, Abigail Riggs, headquartered in Rochester NY, has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charities including the Susan B. Anthony Museum.

We talked, and talked again, and now I have a friend and colleague in Rochester NY. She is passionate about empowering women with messages of strength, love, and encouragement. Check her inspiration out at Abigail Riggs.

So, back to work, and thank you Gail. You have connected me to a little piece of history with a good tote, one that reminds me that ‘the most effective way to do it, is to do it’.
