I wear t-shirts a ton. In the dead of summer I am 100% a tank girl (I'm a sweater), but the rest of the year it is odd for me not to have a t-shirt on. I am always a fan of tees that are fitted through the shoulder and bust with a bit of blouse below. They tuck in great and hide a midsection to perfection. With the re-introduction of cropped tees however, I am REALLY in love. Maybe I just got sick of French tucking? Regardless, the fact that everything looks tucked in an

When I heard that we are going to be talking about graphic tees, I initially thought "how in the world am I going to write about this"?! All I wear are graphic tees so I believe there are endless opportunities when styling them. I wear them to bed. I dress them up. They're even what I wear when I go for a walk! There isn't a day that goes by without me wearing a graphic tee and this has been my style for at least the past two years. Like socks and hair accessories, grap

The stylists at À La Mode have been blogging on​ themes this Spring, showing how each of us style certain items; from skirts to hats to blazers and now, a graphic tee. Honestly, I don't wear t-shirts; I don't unless I'm painting. So, I had to go buy a graphic tee that I actually liked in order to participate in this theme series. I found one, though! My graphic tee is green with a black cat print. (similar option) For a Summer-y look, I paired it with some Gap wide leg j

T-shirts today are no longer the traditional, 100% cotton, basic item that used to be in our closets. Changing lifestyles have influenced this garment to be more versatile for whatever the day may bring. Between athleisure and casual work-wear, the tee is making an appearance in all sorts of outfits! Here are 3 things to look for when picking your perfect tee: 1. Fabrication/Material Content-----Unlike those previous stiff cottons, comfort is a priority when creating a grea

I LOVE styling skirts on clients. They are just SO, SO flattering (and my apologies before I get going for the many all caps in this blog. I just REALLY like skirts!) Skirts naturally have a higher rise than pants, making them sit closer to your natural waist. My number one push with clients after they have a baby or any woman trying to conceal a midsection is to wear a skirt. When you fully tuck into a skirt and get that magical mix of a slightly shorter a-line style it

I love a good denim skirt. I think it's a great alternative to a pair of shorts in the summer and it makes an outfit a little nicer looking. Denim skirts come in a variety of different styles, but I prefer a simple high-rise skirt with a raw hem. My life is very casual so this style of a denim skirt fits into it well. I have styled my skirt in many ways, but I always go for a graphic tee (no surprise there). I have styled it in the past with a sweater to dress it up a little

This week as I was preparing to write this blog, I looked in my closet to find 2 skirts. Yes, 2 skirts. Both of which, are a ponte knit fabric. I guess you could say that I don't often wear skirts, not that I am opposed by any means; I just find that I don't buy them or put them on the way I do jeans, pants, and dresses. This could be a new opportunity for me. We'll see! What I have come up with for you today, is an easy formula in creating an effortless summer skirt loo

Hello - All You Cool Cats and Kittens! On the topic of styling for skirts, I decided to pick my leopard print skirt and show you several ways I pair it for Summer. Right away I'm going to show you my favorite. I am layering cat print, on cat print, on cat print; my skirt, shell top, and belt are all different cat prints but they work together. The tan boyfriend blazer and chunky heel pumps pull it together for a fierce and energetic look. For a more casual look, I have put

I'm not a huge hair accessories person, as I have a ton of hair (I go through a lot of liquid plumber haha). I love the idea of them but a lot of the clip styled hair accessories don't work in my hair! However, I am a big fan of the scrunchy/scarf hair accessory! I love to use these as a way to add some spice to a boring outfit! I also think the pattern and color of the scrunchy can tell you a lot about a persons personality or mood, just like a pair of socks! I have a good h
