What it is: Ponte Knit Midi Pencil Skirt Why I bought: Last week I took a client shopping for an updated work wardrobe. We saw this skirt at Banana and I knew it would be a hit. Imagine the versatility. For casual, partial tuck a basic tee, add a denim jacket, and a slip-on leather sneaker. For professional, a nice blouse, maybe blazer, and heel, wedge or flat. So many options! I personally bought the black but all of the colors would work seamlessly. Where I bought: Ba

What it is: Hinge Embellished Floral Kimono Why I bought: This caught my eye during anniversary sale. It looks a lot more special in person and I loved that it was a year round layer I would use. I run hot, so love tossing it over a tank and shorts now for air conditioning. This fall I plan to style it similarly but with a straight denim and booties. This winter I hope to match it up with my leather pants and a tank as well as wear it closed with a sparkly belt for the h

I’m sure they will be a favorite jean starting in September! Debi Cashman

Today, August 11, marks mine and my husband's first wedding anniversary. As we reflect on all of the vivid moments, I wanted to focus on one for today's blog; my husband's suit. A suit is one of the most valuable investment purchases of the wedding. I'll tell you why. The groom is going to get to wear the garments again; together and separately, for years to come. Of course his size may change over time, but there is always the option for alterations. When making the purch

What it is Long Cardigan I'm getting excited for Fall weather. More importantly, I'm excited for Fall fashions. With that in mind, I am thinking about my Fall clients who will be looking to freshen their Fall looks for the office. My husband said something that made me laugh, while we were talking about Fall wardrobing. He said, "Cardigans have never been sexy." I about choked laughing! But, he's right. Most of the time, a cardigan is added to an outfit for warmth or to

Michael and I recently got to sneak away from parent life for a week and do a whirlwind trip to Portugal and London for his cousin's wedding (thank you Allison for a fun excuse to travel!) For the wedding I wanted to wear something would be easy to pack, fun to dance in, and that I would feel great in. This dress from Anthropologie fit the bill wonderfully (the summer color is sold out, but here is the same dress in a stunning color for fall). I can't take credit for this on
