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!

Like many of you, my days are not always filled with glitz, glamor, and gallivanting around from one fantastic thing to the next. Yesterday my hours were scheduled for a Target run, going to the bank, waiting at the DMV, and hanging out with some cool kids in the afternoon. Shorts and and a tank top it was; there was not even an accessory to be found on me. But after all of that running around, I did have a rendezvous scheduled with some of favorite ladies at Bar La Grasa. Obviously I wanted to be a little more put together for the the crowd at BLG. Digging through my closet in a rush and making a costume change wasn't going to happen. I already had enough on my to do list, stressing about clothes was not going to be another one. So I took my day look to a styled night outfit.
Key Add Ons:
Layering with a blazer. This gives a structured look that the knit tanks does not have on it's own. Also the blazer is in navy, much more approachable than black and keeps the look casual.
Style is in the details. Rolling the sleeves of the blazer shows off the striped lining and gives is a cool casual summer night feel. The tiny tuck is essential, this breaks up the all the fabric and shows a waist line.
Accessorizing right. A long necklace draws the eye in and compliments the line of the blazer. Also, gold jewelery elevates any look. A chunky bracelet is easy and a quick grab. Wedge shoes, not as dressy as a heel but gives you the same 'night out' style!

At Fashion Fix, the mission is to empower women & build confidence. I know you hear that a lot from me, but I really don't feel like I can say it enough! When I started this business I knew how I wanted to make women feel before I knew how I was going to make them look. Style isn't about looking like a Pinterest page, it's about feeling comfortable and confident with who you are. It's my job is to provide tools and resources to my clients so they can be their best selves in order to live their best lives.
I could go on forever about what I do with Fashion Fix :) But no one can explain it better than an actual client. Their words and their stories about how their lives were changed are what keep me inspired.
"I have struggled with my wardrobe
for years! I felt like I had plenty of clothes but didn't know how to
pull them together and didn't feel very up to date. Lindsey’s
commitment to use what I have in my wardrobe to create style was one
reason I had her come and help me with my closet. Her ideas were
practical and easy to do. Her rearranging of my clothes now helps me
put together outfits more confidently. I feel more
confident knowing what I have in my closet, how to make better use of
it, and what I need to complete my wardrobe. Now I like how I look in
my clothes and learned new combinations for what I own. Thanks a ton
Lindsey!"

This post has been sitting in my draft folder for some time now. With the rain, clouds, and cold today I figure it's fitting. The new spring skirts, dresses, and tops we've been stocking up on can't be put on hold. Especially after the beautiful weekend we just had, wasn't losing the layers life changing! The denim jacket has a knack for helping to keep all those great seasonal pieces in rotation. My favorite way to style it is to balance out, or neutralize an outfit that might have a lot of print or color to it. I also turn to the denim jacket when I have a client in a loose dress or drapey knit and we need to add a little structure to the look, (and a blazer would be do dressy.)

Styling Notes
- Denim jackets are so versatile, they look great paired with dressy pieces or more casual outfits.
- Always cuff or roll the sleeve, this will give such a structured garment a softer and more feminine look and feel.
- Under layers can be left out or tucked in, if your top hangs longer than the jacket that's okay!
- The non-traditional denim wash is a great buy too, colored or white denim jackets give great style also.
- If you are looking for the traditional wash stay in the medium to dark wash. A light wash, or one that is distressed, should only be added into your wardrobe in addition to a traditional denim jacket.

Spring is upon us, wait... well the sun is upon us and some of you are traveling to spring like destinations?! Ha, here in Minnesota I am looking out my window at about 9 feet of snow, ice covered roads, and sub zero temperatures. To comfort the winter blues and cure cabin fever, a lot of my clients are desperate to shop for something that gives them hope of warm weather. Yet, they want to be able to wear spring like styles now. Who can blame them! Hello, in come the denim jacket!!!!
I LOVE the denim jacket, and inevitably it ends up on every single clients shopping; unless the have one already. I wear mine all year round, but it does get most play time in spring, summer, and fall. You can wear it a million ways, with millions of outfits. So if you are looking for a seasonal pick me up this the piece to get. Here are some of my favorite looks.

This week I have been chatting alot about holiday wear. And by chatting I mean tweeting, facebooking, and blogging. Lots of clients are heading out to parties for work, play, and fun. And lots of clients are having a hard time deciding what to wear! Living in this northern tundra adds some difficulty, trying to style your self for a fancy event when the wind chill is -20 degrees stinks! Another challenge is creating a look that feels festive with out being, well... a joke.
So my job is to keep you from looking like that punch line!
1.
Do - Dress in trend; lace, velvet, brocade, etc..
Don't - Dress in all the trends at once; looking like you walked off the set of Game of Thrones.
2.
Do - Go head to toe with color; mix it up with different shades.
Don't - Dress like a crayola crayon; trying to match everything exact from apparel to shoes to accessories.
3.
Do - Wear separates; mixing and matching skirt, pants, tops, and jackets.
Don't - Look like a politician in a pant suit, channeling your inner Hilary.
4.
Do - Look festive; metallics, green, red, etc...
Don't - Look like you are part of the decorations!
All looks were styled on the Fashion Fix Polyvore board!
I am in the business of educating women what to wear, how to wear it, what to buy and where to buy it! This week my focus of choice is the blouse. I have worked with couple of fabulous clients in the past month who all have had a common theme of needing to impact their style with belts and blouses. You can see their photo catalogs {here} & {here} & {here}. And since I already was on my soap box about the belt {here} I thought I would preach about the need for essential blouses here! You can link up to Monday's post {here} where I talked about why the blouse is so important and showed you how you can wear it. After that post went live, immediately following I got the question: What blouses should women have? In my professional opinion, at minimum all women should have the following 4 blouses...
Why? Because with these 4 standard blouses you will be able to outfit any cardigan, jacket, blazer, skirt, and pant. Because with these 4 standard blouses you can be styled for work, play, and fun. And because with these 4 standard blouses you will always have something to wear!
Real women, living real life in the Twin Cities... Take inspiration from them!
