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 […]
I’m all about trying to stay fashionable in the winter weather, but if I’m being honest, some days, there’s no use trying. If you’re in the midwest, you know that this week is about to be brutal. Reports are saying it could be the coldest day on record in Chicago–that’s insane! This is not a […]
Welcome back to the ‘Shop Your Closet’ series! This week I am showing you how I style a graphite/grey moto leather jacket three ways. A little background on this piece: it’s an IRO jacket I snagged from a fall friends & family sale (so it was probably 30% off retail) in the fall of 2016 […]

I posted a picture of this outfit on Sunday night saying I was about to take action on the current fashion retail calendar (my threats are pretty empty but I’m hopeful). 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 […]
I’m a big shopper–always have been. I’ve loved shopping for clothes for as long as I can remember. My mom was more of a discount shopper so I would carefully pick through the sale racks at her favorite department store or the local TJ Maxx. However, I consider myself a savvy shopper and I’m great […]
