Last week, I had a conversation with girlfriends about whether or not we’d ever get cosmetic surgery. It was incredible because we got to talk openly about our fantasies related to things we would change or augment about our physical appearance. It was a FREEING, to say the least. No shame. No judgement (of self or others). … Read More
During my first career as a Social Worker at the VA Medical Center, I was told a joke about how our system was so old a dinosaur ran it. The policies and practices were outdated, leaving employees saying dangerous things like, “I don’t know why…it’s just the way we’ve always done it.” As a creative … Read More
I’m going to be honest with you about this, but before I am, repeat after me: I make the rules. Say it again for the people in the back. IIIIIIII MAKE THE RULES! It’s true. When it comes to our own personal style, we each get to make our own, unique, personal rules. Yet I’m … Read More
These are my very favorite denim shorts, converted from Lucky Brand jeans after years of wear. They have ZERO STRETCH and that’s how I like my cut-offs (stretchy shorts stick to your thighs and my gams need room to move!). Some years they’d fit just right and some years they hung off my hips.

I did. I had a little touch of cancer. And I say “a little touch,” because I know how cancer goes for some people and it didn’t go that way for me. Of course it was awful in many ways. I received the diagnosis 2 weeks after quitting a cushy federal government job with great … Read More
One of my favorite ways to work with clients is through a “Closet Transformation” where I take their closet from a place of lost items, favorite pieces that go unworn and one-too-many black shirts, to a useful, organized closet full of fun, innovative outfits, without having to spend a dime. But until you’re ready to … Read More
Happy Thanksgiving ALL! Want to know what a turkey & your personal style have in common?! They’re both classic! I believe you need 80% of your closet to be full of classic pieces- ones that represent you at your core- the part that’s not going to change because it’s authentically you. I also believe in breaking the … Read More
Have you ever opened up a fashion magazine and looked at the upcoming trends and thought, “What the what is going on here?” Sometimes it seems like there is no rhyme or reason to fashion. It can be based on a whimsy of a popular designer or a painting from the 18th century. The point … Read More
Everyone has their favorite “go-to” clothes in their wardrobe. These are the clothes that you love the most – and wear the most – for a number of reasons that could include their uniqueness, how they look on you, the color / cut / style or some other similar reason. So, what happens with the … Read More
Sometimes we use our clothes to allure in our desires. Attracting people, jobs, experiences and material things closer to us. And that’s ok! As you do this, make sure you remember your worth with or without those clothes (or people, places or things)! Consider what or who you want to draw into your field and … Read More
