I bought this silky chocolate brown dress for a summer party, but it’s so delicious I had to find a way to wear it into winter, if not through winter. I love how adding the luxe textures of cashmere, suede, and woven leather cozies up the look — for a feel good, look good outfit.

Kicking it in Crocs
Hiya. Hope you are having a wonderful holiday season with family, friends, food, parties, presents, maybe snow, maybe sunshine, and everything else your heart desires. We decided that given my gimpy post-surgery foot, celebrating in Savannah made more sense than roughing it in the Adirondack mountains. And I’m thrilled to report that I stuffed my foot into a sneaker today! Woo hoo!! Next up? These glittery winter-white Crocs.
Shine Bright Like a Diamond
Sequins may look like simple little discs, but they bring instant glamour to any piece of clothing they adorn. This A-line dress is such a fun combination of sleek and sparkly. It is a little on the short side, so I paired it with opaque black tights that gave me the confidence to strut my stuff.
Time Off in Tweed
I’m actually writing this post with my foot up in a post-surgery boot after a bunion revision last Friday. Boring! But as promised, here’s the follow up “casual take” on my new favorite tweed jacket. And you better believe I will be wearing these cute sneakers once I get the dang boot off. New foot, new shoe!
Tweed-tastic
‘Tis the season to dress up…or down. For me, that’s why this tweed jacket is so fantastic. It’s classically tailored, sparked up with sequins, and pretty much perfect with anything. And as I work to streamline my wardrobe, any piece I add from here on out has to be versatile and on trend but still timeless.
Keeping It Casual
While the most dedicated fashionistas may already be focusing on their upcoming fall wardrobe, I’m savoring the last few weeks of summer. There will be plenty of sweater weather ahead, but for now, it’s all about easygoing shorts and cute tops.
Summer Breeze
When things heat up, a summery sundress is easy to dress up or down — depending on how your day plays out. It’s the perfect canvas to convey your personal style, making it a must-have for your summer outfit rotation. I always try to look for ones in natural, breathable materials like this super-lightweight, 100% cotton denim. Linen and silk are good options, too.
Shorts Story
Designed for both leisurely strolls or active adventures, walking shorts are the perfect combination of fashion and functionality. When they’re well-tailored and crafted with quality materials, they can take on an even more elevated role in your wardrobe.
Into the Blue
When it comes to jeans, I’ve always been true blue to a cuffed, straight leg silhouette. I have even been known to buy jeans in a Tall length — just so I can get an extra big cuff. This pair also features a super high waist. Again, a look and feel I fully endorse.
Beating the Heat
When I say the day we shot this post was hotter than Hades, I’m not kidding. The entire Northeast was experiencing an epic heatwave that had all of us in meltdown mode. So pulling together this look was more about staying cool than looking cool. I did my best to achieve both.
