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.

Did you think I was done?!?! Well of course I'm not, I'm just behind on schedule. ROTFL! If you've been keeping up this extremely drawn out series of posts you know that last week and this week I can not keep with anything! Between teaching the Styled Right Workshop, going to fashion shows, and doing photo shoots this month I can't keep my head on straight! I love fall fashion, but boy does it keep a stylist busy :)
So here she is, client Karin in all her beauty, featured in the last post of this Mall of America series. If you missed it, I showcased this mom of 2 last week {here} & {here}. You got to see great looks from Loft, Old Navy, and Cotton On. Last but not least Karin I stopped into H&M and were greatly surprised with everything we found here for her.
I know, I know,
you are dying right! She is so cute and these outfits are fantastic. I
did my thing, but really Karin's confidence radiates through her and
she makes anything look good. So a few things:
1. If you want to learn how to get that style confidence then you need to take the Styled Right Workshop by Fashion Fix. Dates, times, locations, and registration links are {here}.
2.. If you want to get styled on an amazing shopping trip like this, visit the Fashion Fix website and learn more about becoming a client.
Until then, be a
gal pal and share what you see. If you know someone who love style then
share this post with them on facebook, twitter, or google + .

You may already have guessed that I am a Mall of America die hard. I bob and weave through traffic of people, zip in and out of the best stores, and always score great style for clients. Most think I'm crazy, because not most people would say they LOVE the MOA. But I do! It's a one stop shop for every thing you need to be styled right!
My latest voyage was with Karin, a client I love and adore. Who you might remember from the Goodwill shopping trip, you can re-read that {here}! She wanted a chic look for fall, with easy accessories and great staples! We spent our time at the best stores that would score her this look. The Loft, Old Navy, Cotton On, H & M, etc. Too many great looks for one post, so here's a start :)
I know, I know, you are dying right! She is so cute and these outfits are fantastic. I did my thing, but really Karin's confidence radiates through her and she makes anything look good. So a few things:
1. Tune back in tomorrow for more looks styled and shopped on our travels to the MOA.
2. If you want to learn how to get that style confidence then you need to take the Styled Right Workshop by Fashion Fix. Dates, times, locations, and registration links are {here}.

I love shopping!!! We'll, what I REALLY LOVE... is shopping with my clients. It makes my heart happy when I can show a woman how many options she has to feel confident and beautiful in endless styles. You know you've been there, you take one lap through a store and find nothing. Then you feel like there will never be anything that fits you, your body, or your style. That myth is dispelled when you shop with Fashion Fix. You'll learn how to shop the racks, try on great styles, and know what best pieces are worth coming home with you.
Meet my most recent client:
Lauren is 27, in between sizes, and starting a new job. She will be going from wearing a uniform everyday to dressing 'business casual'. She wants to make sure she is getting the most versatility from her wardrobe while staying in budget. Being able to go from work, to dinner, drinks, or any evening event is crucial. We went to Rosedale Center and got busy.
Umm... don't worry we went to many more store. But, we had so much success styling this lovely lady I had to split the pictures into two posts! Tune in tomorrow to see more of what we found for Lauren!

I had another successful client style challenge at the Goodwill, this time at the store in Bloomington. I was approached by a mother of 2, wife of 1, and owner of a successful business! So what’s the struggle? What’s not. Keeping her and her husband’s brokerage firm profitable, kids feed, house in order, and marriage fresh is a lot to juggle. She needed a place where the shopping is quick, style good, and prices better. A date night was around the corner and this client needed some new looks.
My client is ready for summer and ready for a night out! We found so many pieces that had versatility and style. She spent less than $90 and walked out with 9 outfits. That’s only $10 an outfit! Needless to say she was more than happy and ready to hit the town in this outfit…
Do you want to go thrift shopping together? Let's do it! Visit the website and book you personal shopping appointment today. You'll get 1 - 2 hours of shopping and styling, followed up with pictures of all the looks created.
