Wardrobe Capsules

2009-10-01T08:42:00.002-06:00

We're headed to Hawaii in a few short weeks and I've been trying to think what clothes I will take with me this year. I want to pack as lightly as possible. So a mix and match wardrobe with lots of possibilities seems to fit the bill perfectly.

Last year I ended up with a black, white and red wardrobe capsule. This year I'm thinking of black and denim as my base colors with snakeskin and bamboo or seashell type accents similar to some of my favorite looks from Forth and Towne {sniff-sniff- I'm still sad about them leaving me}. Either that or a white, blue and silver colored capsule. Hmm. Or maybe even a green, white and tan colored capsule?

Now go check this girl out, she's good at this! There's a wardrobe capsule challenge going on right now and who knows maybe it will inspire you in creating a capsule of your own!

Not Forgotten, Just Not Inspired Lately

2009-09-13T04:14:00.003-06:00

Wow! It has been way too long since I've done anything with this blog. But truth be told I have really just not been very inspired in the fashion department lately. I think there are several factors to why this is:

1. After my last baby {ok, like three years ago} my body shape changed and I honestly did not know how to dress it anymore. I still don't.

2. Weight gain. On top of the baby weight, I have also gained a little too much more weight

3. No time to shop. And when I do it is rushed and I either can't find what I want or need, or make poorly rushed decisions.

This all results in myself feeling like a frumpy, dumpy ol' housewife which in turn doesn't make me feel very inspired at all. But the good news is that I feel like I'm getting back to my old self again. I have been working out more regularly, and though I haven't lost a ton of weight yet, I am at least feeling a lot better about myself. Body image is such a strange thing and I'm sure is something we could really get into and discuss but I'll leave that for others who are better at that sort of thing. For me, I just know that working out has improved my outlook again. And that is a great thing! Hip, hip!

Western Wear

2009-07-24T22:32:00.001-06:00

It's Pioneer Day in Utah! A state holiday celebrating when the pioneers arrived and settled this place! So here is a cute little western inspired outfit. Enjoy!

Fashion Fun in Unlikely Places

2009-01-27T16:34:00.009-07:00

Most people along the Wasatch Front have heard of Smith and Edwards {country boy store!} and many have seen it off the side of the freeway while driving the northern section of I-15, but have you ever ventured inside?

It is a crazy place! But I love it! This is where we picked up the fire ring for our fire pit, you can buy canning supplies here as well as dutch ovens, guns, army blankets, camping equipment, fireplaces and all sorts of other random things!

Even though most of their clothes are hunting or cowboy clothes, you can still find some cute gems like this awesome hat I got.

Or these cute rainboots. I got the red plaid ones today. Fun for fall and winter. But I might have to get some different ones for spring. Gee, that's a bummer!

They also had this fun lion hat for little kids that is just too stinkin' cute!

And I thought these hats were really fun too.

And I found a new line of shoes that I'm going goo-goo over! These are Bog boots that are 100% waterproof and oh so comfy! They didn't have my size in this though, but the larger size looked way cute poking out from underneath my jeans.

So don't discount strange places for fun fashion finds! You just might surprise yourself!

Clearly I Need These Shoes

2008-11-21T04:56:00.004-07:00

I have a lot of green in my wardrobe--it's my favorite color. So clearly I need to add these shoes! Plus they would look great with lots of other colors too! Oh, and I'll take the leopard print ones and while we're at it, these cute Wellies too!

Ralph Lauren's Rugby

2008-10-16T05:44:00.002-06:00

Have I mentioned before how much I love, love, LOVE Ralph Lauren? I would say he is MY designer. I'm supposed to be shopping for a few extras for my upcoming Hawaii trip but instead I'm playing in my own little imaginary world of Rugby. I'm loving the Fairisle stuff but thats not going to work in Hawaii I'm thinking.

Why Can't This Come In MY Size?

2008-10-10T21:44:00.004-06:00

I'm giddy with excitement! The weather has turned cold. Snow on the valley floor is in the forecast! This is when my inner Scandinavian pops out!

I was just standing in my closet and realizing that all of a sudden I'm going to have so many choices to wear! I can't wait! My wardrobe is full of cold weather clothes {I tend to struggle with warm weather clothes for some reason--I'm just meant for cold weather I guess}.

But what I'd really love to wear is this:

Gymboree Inspiration

2008-08-02T13:14:00.006-06:00

I'm a little sad my daughter doesn't fit Gymboree clothing anymore. They were always so cute. Here are a few of my favs right now that I think could be translated into a more grown up type version for her {or me too?} if we can find the right pieces at other places.

Khaki's = easy
Navy shirt and sweater = easy
{just check the uniform departments}

Jeans = easy
{add embellishments of your own, or just wear plain jeans}

Navy sweater vest or tank top = easy
{add an applique if you want}

white blouse = easy

navy shoes = just check around

Once again, check the uniform sections

Green hoodie = fairly basic, I'm sure you could find one
Argyle sweater = would have to check around
Denim skirt = probably pretty easy to find

Jeans = easy
{go plain or embellish your own if wanted}

Long sleeved patterned shirt = easy
{could do any sort of color you wanted}

Short sleeved button up sweater = easy
{pick color to coordinate with shirt}

Fun pair of shoes = just check around!

Hair, The Crowning Glory

2008-05-19T23:49:00.003-06:00

Hair is just as important as the accessories to your overall look. Unfortunately I have fumble fingers. I can't do a french braid for the life of me and I struggle with getting a straight part most of the time too! How sad is that???

Maybe this is the reason my darling daughter doesn't like to get her hair done and wants it cut short like a boy. Why oh why doesn't she want to look like the darling girl she is??? Girls are fun! And why oh why does she want to dress like a ninja all the time lately? But I'm getting sidetracked here...

So I was never good at it. I don't know the tricks of the trade and had a very limited repertoire of styles to work with. But then! I found . . . .

HAIR TODAY!!!

A darling site of pictures and how-to's for little girl hair! Why oh why couldn't I have found this sooner?

You Are Beautiful

"There are no ugly women.

Only lazy ones"

~~Split Ends

If there is anything I've learned from watching ANTM, its that ANYONE can look amazing with a little bit of effort. I mean some of those models look so ordinary until the hair and makeup goes on. And for a charming reminder on why its important, hop on over and visit Ruthann at Warm Pie, Happy Home!

You no doubt will feel much better when you're put together, And instead of looking at it as vanity, look at it as a pleasure you can give others, I mean, how thoughtful is cute little Ruthann anyway? Check out what she would do for her kids, ".... after I put my p.j.'s on, I would smooth on a yummy scented cream on my neck and hands so I would smell good when I tucked my kids into bed." Isn't that sweet? And ever so thoughtful!

Makes me want to rethink how I view my beauty routine {or lack of it sometimes} because yes, it is important.

Don't Listen To Me

2008-04-17T09:26:00.002-06:00

Apparently I don't know much about fashion because I seem to disagree with the whole capri's are wrong line of thinking. Truth be told I like them better than walking shorts. Walking shorts just chop people up into unflattering thirds if you ask me. But capri's at the right length and with the right shoe are lovely!

And apparently I would get a ticket from the fashion police for wearing these too. I think they're cute and with the right outfit would be so so fun!

So nobody listen to me, I don't know what I'm talking about, I only wear what I like and don't follow what's hot or not in fashion!

Martin + Osa

2008-04-12T18:49:00.004-06:00

Check out American Eagle's new line, Martin + Osa, targeted to the Gen X'ers crowd (ages 28-40). Yep, that means they're targeting to me!

Cute and interesting layers! I like this all-white color combo.
I want a longer safari looking dress and when I find it, I would consider layering, belting and styling it this way.

More cute layers! I'm taking good notes here! I can probably recreate this look in my current closet!

And the light layers on this looks like you could sip that lemonade all day long on a hot summer day!

I love it when I find new inspiration. I hope it does better than my beloved Forth and Towne, and sticks around for a while.

Another Accessorizing Exercise

2008-04-11T21:27:00.004-06:00

Here we go for the next round of accessorizing. This time we are taking a casual look--basic black crewneck tshirt and straight leg jeans.

"The Base"

Now add a bright colorful scarf wrapped around the neck and blue suede flats.

Now show your rocker side with black boots, silver hoop earrings and big chunky silver bracelet.

Now class it up a bit with a Pucci scarf tied as a belt and red pointy shoes.

Or simply chill out with black converse and a silver mans watch.

Accessories can really change an outfit.

This isn't part of my accessorizing little exercise, but I just had to post this. She is absolutely stunning! And what a simple yet beautiful outfit. The colors are divine!

{photo of Barbara Barry via Mrs Blandings}

I think it is the fabric choices that make the look seem so luxurious. I'm sure the turtleneck is something fabulous like cashmere and the skirt fabric, not sure what it is, looks lovely too.

This idea could easily be replicated in a multitude of colors and different fabrics though, so don't worry if you don't have cashmere. And a trip to the fabric store could give so many choices for divine variations on that skirt! I would even venture into the home decorating fabrics if I couldn't find something in the normal fabric department.

Accessorizing

2008-03-25T22:31:00.004-06:00

One of the things I pay the most attention to when posting outfit ideas is the accessorizing. Its a skill I don't easily possess yet can change the look and feel of an entire outfit.

In fact, I have heard it said that you can get away with less clothing if you have an amazing accessory wardrobe. So I have decided to play around with this a bit.

I will post a "base outfit" and then each day post some different ways to accessorize it. If you would like to join in the fun, email me some pictures of how you would accessorize the base outfit and I will feature them here on my blog!

So without further ado, here is the first "Base Outfit" . . . .

A basic white shirt and black trousers. Fairly basic and easy for anyone to attain in any price range.

Stay tuned to see how we start shaking this up a bit!

Navy + Yellow

I think yellow is hard for a lot of people to wear, but it is much easier to wear as an accessory. Yellow accessories are plentiful and easy to find. I've seen plenty at Target and Walmart even.

Navy + Orange

2008-01-26T13:42:00.001-07:00

Navy + Orange = Fun, fun, fun!

How about a small pop of color? Go for the belt

Something a little more bold on top!

And this one to show you how amazing orange and navy work together. Since you wouldn't be standing by an orange backdrop all the time, I would just add a fun orange scarf or bangle to the outfit.

{image via Banana Republic}

I think orange looks particularly nice on brunettes. And its a fun punch of color to a nautical look. I think it is one of my new fav color combos. I will definately be picking up a few orange accessories this year to add to my navy items.

Similar Shape Found

2007-12-31T13:39:00.000-07:00

Here is another outfit from my idea files. I think my scanner is going wonky because all of my recent scans look way off. Anyway, it is supposed to be a greyish brownish {not sure how to describe the color} tweed suit with fun ruffles at the sleeve and hem of the jacket.

{old Forth and Towne image}

Here is a similar shaped jacket {in tweed even} from Coldwater Creek. Unfortunately they don't have matching pants so I will have to figure something different out on bottom. Still need to find a good shirt to go with it.

If you like this jacket then hurry! It is currently in their clearance section for $42.99. But everything is 60% off right now on their website, or you can use this code {not sure how long it lasts, but it worked for me today} to get 70% off: WLH4178

While these are just simple sweats, what elevates them from shlubby to respectable casual wear is the accessorizing. Leather bags, leather shoes, nice scarves and mittens seem to add a little bit of polish to this otherwise ordinary look.

Styling My New Christmas Sweater

2007-12-29T00:48:00.001-07:00

My husband was sweet and bought me a few sweaters this Christmas {I really needed some new ones!}, one of which was this sweater but in cream.

{Carolyn Taylor dress via Kohls}

So I thought I would head to my favorite inspiration place to see how they would style something similar to this and wouldn't you know it, Gorsuch never fails me!

{images via Gorsuch Ltd}

So it seems all I need is a lovely ruffly blouse, skinny pants, nice belt and riding boots! That should be easy! But now how to translate it into the cream family since my particular sweater is cream instead of grey.

Or here is an idea in the cream family!

Color Your World

I would like to introduce you to Kasmira from a fun blog called What I Wore Today. I love her blog because she posts such fun outfits and color combinations, and she isn't totally into top designer looks--she will wear things from Target too! She's very creative and I keep thinking that maybe some of it will wear off on me or something because my wardrobe is sooo predictable.

Well, way back in September she posted a blog about how to add color to your wardrobe that I thought was really quite interesting. So if spicing up your world is something you want more of, then definately check out her blog!

This look is easy to achieve. I found a nearly identical sweater from the Chaps collection at Kohls. My store had navy (very preppy) and pink (also very preppy) to choose from.

Visit The Preppy Journal to find out more about this classic preppy travel style look.

As Your Heart Out aptly put it, "Skin and show is for the pool. Demure and fashionable is for going out with friends or to a cocktail party. "

"A new product out of L.A. called Eliza magazine shows how a sexy, sophisticated silhouette can be accomplished without exposing yourself to your boyfriend’s boss or looking like you’re perpetually beach-bound. Because, let’s face it, it’s best to keep them guessing."

"Eliza was “created for women who want to be stylish, sexy and engaged in the world while retaining high standards in dress, entertainment and lifestyle.”

"Printed quarterly, you can expect fashion tips from stylists to the stars, guides to affordable art, word of the newest designers—even a lengthy wedding gown guide."
