Wearing Neutrals, Without Being Boring

Okay, okay...  You got me!  I love to wear black, and every other neutral there is :)  And if your are a client of mine reading this article you are probably laughing.  My catch phrase is "...get of black and get comfortable with navy."  But I must admit, the allure of black in the winter is very seductive.  So here's the deal; If you are seduced by the neutral, at least add some personality!  Recently I took my client shopping to the Goodwill to help her with this challenge.  Take a look and see how we put back the pizazz in her style.


1. You know me, I love a good red accessory.  Add this to any basic black outfit you will instantly feel 'Pinteresty'.

2. Go for gray.  It lightens a look and helps you feel a little more upbeat in the winter when the sun sets at like noon, lol!

3. Get some good scarfs in bright colors.  This is an easy add to any comfy winter outfit that doesn't leave you feeling frumpy.

4. Still wear floral.  Don't store this pattern away with the rest of your summer gear.  Floral against a dark layer will brighten your style and still be seasonally appropriate.

5. Look for neutrals in pattern.  I know this top is a little dizzy in picture, but its style is sharp in real life.  If you are wearing a lot of black break up the all the solid with a black and white pattern on your garments.

Glitz & Glamor Holiday Style

I get so excited to about styling and putting together holiday looks!  It is the best time of the year to pull out some glitzy and glamorous pieces.  A little fur and sparkle always goes well with snow :)  Plus we are always looking for ways to be dressed up during the holidays, but not overdressed!  I've got 2 great things here for ya ladies.  First, the faux fur vest.  You've seen me wear it before, and I can't get enough of it.  This garment is functional and fashionable when it's 10 degrees outside (as it was when I did this photo shoot, lol.)

Second, you need a little blingy blingy this holiday.  Remember all those 'right hand diamond' commercials.   A little cheesy, but there a good point there.  I don't always want to wear a big piece of statement jewelry, but I still want my jewelry to make a statement!  So I got this perfectly subtle 'right hand ring' for such a style!  Anjolee jewelry has the best selection of sparkle because you can customize pieces to be exactly what you want to fit your style.  If rings aren't what your looking for I drool over their Riviera Necklace.

Can we have a moment for the box my ring came it.  I literately gasp when I opened it and the ring had its very own little spot light to help it shine and sparkle when I saw it for the first time.

Follow the link to the Anjolee website and you can start making your wish list ;)

How red shoes can change your styled life!

The most famous pair of red shoes are of course Dorothy's sequined gems.  Those shoes carried her through the most memorable adventure of her life, and eventually brought her home safe and sound!  Those red shoes changed her life, and at times gave her the confidence she needed to keep her on her journey.  We all need shoes like that sometimes!

Red shoes are life changing, and they don't have to be sequined and from a dead witch.  However, they can be hand-me-downs :)  Check out the pair I found at the Goodwill while shopping with my client!  These shoes went with every single outfit we shopped and styled her in, it was amazing!  And, they took every look from good to great!  Don't dismiss the power of great pair of red shoes ladies.  They can be style life changing, and give you the boost you need to stay the journey day to day!

Ok, ok, I know is not red shoes.  But a red belt can make magic happen too.

Imagine the red shoes here :)

You're amazed I know!  Not only does she looks great with this little accessory, but all these outfits were put together at a the Goodwill.  A thrift store!  

If you want to shop thrift with Fashion Fix, well you can.  Visit the website for details!

Where to find casual tops!

Sometimes you just need a good shirt, am I right!?  Not everyday do I want to, or need to, put together an outfit that has a million layers and crazy pile-ons.  Sometime I just want to throw on a pair jeans, a great top, and be out the door.  And when you have a cute top, there is little you have to do in terms of accessorizing and styling.  The top should just speak for its self.  This can all come together when your shirt has great fabrication, good fit, and interesting details.  Ahhhh... but where to find such a garment to buy?  Of course at Wish Boutique!

Both tops were provided by Wish Boutique, and they would love for you to have one too!  Here's the deal, we're having a party :)  If you struggle knowing how to use accessories to change your look and maximize your style, you need to be here.  Tuesday November 11th 6:30pm at Wish!  There will be light bites, give aways, and I'll be hosting a mini style workshop teaching you how to use accessorize to get new life in your in your look!  It's FREE to attend, just RSVP.  More details on the website {here}.
