you pick 3 - olive, mustard and melon - Personal Shopper Wednesday, July 3

Olive, pink and mustard color swatch

You pick 3 is a great way to be inspired by color. Choose a neutral, accent and pop color option and then begin to play with pattern and layers. I chose this flower cardigan because the muted blue gives a nice contrast to the stone shorts and melon tank. Always look for the piece to tie it all together, especially when using color. A print or floral incorporating all of your colors keeping it cohesive and complete. Remember a metallic shoe is an easy solution when the focus is on top. My focal is the cardigan here.. but we could take away the cardigan and go with a cute leopard print shoe tying in the mustard from the purse. In that case the focal would be the shoe and the other pieces are accents, make sense?

This week I had 2 personal shopping clients. I love getting to do on location style sessions. Each client gave me their budget and off we went. First I get to know a bit about them, their story, job or season of life and what you are wanting to portray to others. "Engaging and friendly," one client said, the other wanted to look put together on the job but comfortable enough to move as she is a photographer. You may just need seasonal help to enhance your current wardrobe with a few new statement pieces. Or like Kim, you may need an entire overhaul, getting rid of what doesn't work and starting from scratch. In a few weeks you will meet Kim and see the before and after, how I narrowed down the selections, found her perfect style and built an amazing wardrobe of "go to" looks! Let's take the guess work out of looking good and feeling confident! Don't forget to follow my style boards on pinterest and contact me for details on how you can have a stress free wardrobe that brings out the best version of you!

J Crew Sweater + Boyfriend Jeans




I am loving this look for spring! Mixing a fun color with pattern, unexpected jewels and an amazing pair of neutral shoes. I am on the hunt for some boyfriend jeans that fit right.  I know I will wear them like a uniform but have made the mistake so many times of buying jeans that look good but may not be the most comfortable. Finding a "go to" jean is not as simple as it sounds. For me it requires trying on and trying on, more trying on and seriously this could take hours or even multiple trips. As a busy mom, I don't have that kind of time, so I have had the most success going to places like Nordstrom Rack which houses hundreds of styles, designers, washes and fits all under one roof and on sale.  The truth with denim is you get what you pay for. I love a deal and am known for piecing outfits together on a dime, but knowing when to invest can really end up saving money in the end. Here are a few options:
