By reader request, this week on ‘Shop Your Closet’ is a simple basic: the striped t-shirt. There are so many variation of this classic, but I think we can all agree that there are outfits beyond a t-shirt and jeans. This week, I’m showing you how to dress it up, take it to work, and […]
I always receive questions about layering and I had to really noodle on what my hard and fast rules are. I’ve lived in a four-season climate my whole life and I’m no stranger to layers, but to articulate it, rather than just show it, proved a little difficult. So I looked back at past photos, […]
Welcome back to Shop Your Closet! I received a lot of suggestions to style a camel coat. Sure, it’s an outerwear a piece and you may just think of it as a coat that’s completely separate from your outfit. However, I think of my coats as part of the entire outfit. A camel coat is […]

It’s so misaligned with the actual weather that by the […]

About 10 years ago, Eric bought me a LouisVuitton Neverfull bag in the Damier print; it was my go-to work back and I carried it constantly. I worked in finance and traveled a lot so I wore a lot of neutrals that were appropriate for a strict business casual dress code, but on travel days […]
