Work Wardrobe: Flower Power

Who says you can't be professionally floral, or floral-y professional?  

Here is the Rule: Pick one piece that will speak for your entire outfit.  In this case, that would be a floral blazer with orange, maroon, neon yellow, and creme.  Just keep everything else basic and you are in business (dress).  See what I did there...yeah.  

Sidenote:  I did wear a pair of neon yellow earrings too so I kind of broke my own rule however...they matched the yellow on the blazer so boom.  

I love a more feminine spin on a staple piece and you know I love when clothes have character.  ~ B

B's View: Color Clash

I love finding new and unexpected color combinations.  It is like a silent challenge from the universe...and I say, you are on!  The only way to really find the right mix is to experiment but here are a couple of color combos that I dig! ~ B

Work Wardrode: Show Your Stripes

I always love seeing a successful mixing and matching of prints so why not show you what I can do!  I was pretty happy with the outcome below.  Here are a few rules for mixing prints...

Rule #1: Find the same color scheme to start.  Black and white is a good jumping off point.  

Rule #2: Pick one pattern that is simple and consistent, the other can be a little more bold.

Rule #3: Keep all other elements of the outfit solid and the same color as the scheme.  Minimal accessories!


Give it a shot and see what happens.  If you like what you see, then share it with me on My Facebook page!!!

B is Back!

It has been one heck of a crazy Spring and Summer!  I have been M.I.A on the fashion tips but I have been up to a lot!

We....bought a house I started a new job, traveled all over Illinois and Missouri, saw Memphis, and danced in New York!  I wanted to share some of that with you.  New sights, new experiences, and new ideas!  Hope your summer was as great as mine!  ~B
