Organizing Your Closet

On July 26, 2018

We’ve all had that feeling before. You open up the closet doors and look at the jumble. The despair comes creeping in. Even though the closet is full, you feel like there is nothing to choose from that will work – much less make you feel great – when you put it on. A big […]

How to: laundry tips redux

On July 12, 2018

There often seem to be themes to client questions – several clients I’ve worked with in the past few weeks have asked for laundry and clothing care advice, and several others have asked about the best ways to organize your wardrobe. I figure if several people are asking me outright, others would like to know […]

Summer travel: Lyon and Provence

On June 21, 2018

It’s research – really! My husband travels to Europe periodically for work and research. Sometimes (not always, darn it) I get to go along and “help” by taking photos, being a second set of ears and eyes, etc. Someone has to do it, right? This time I joined him for a quick visit to Germany […]

A functional wardrobe: fewer items, more outfits

On May 24, 2018

Functional vs. many If you follow my Out the Door series on my Facebook page, you’ll know that I wear many of my clothes frequently, especially basics like jeans, tees, and jackets. This is intentional. When shopping (at least 90% of the time new-to-me), I choose pieces that are classic in design and well constructed, so they go […]

My best friend from high school, Meredith, and I both marked our 50th birthdays this past year. To celebrate, we’re going to HAWAII!!! It’s been a bucket list destination of mine, and we leave on Sunday for a week of stunning natural beauty, sunshine, beaches, and VOLCANOES. Can. Not. Wait. Meredith and I in high […]

Yays In My Closet

On February 13, 2018

See that sweet little step stool needlepointed by my grandmother 60 or so years ago? Yeah, I hadn’t seen it for months either. I’d forgotten how sweet it is because it’s been buried under a pile of sweaters since September. I have a small closet. (Old houses = small closets.) Luckily, there is another closet […]

Signature Style…or Stuck in a Rut?

On October 31, 2017

#outthedoor Stuck in a rut? A couple of months ago I started a weekly series on my Facebook page called Out the Door – check it out. (And like my page while you’re there, if you haven’t already!) A sampling follows.It’s a fun way to show folks what I’m wearing for outfit inspiration, how I put […]

Fresh Outfits Without Leaving The House – or Spending Money!

On February 21, 2017

February is a great time to look at your closet intentionally. There’s still a good 6-8 weeks left before we can consider spring (bizarre, climate change driven 50-degree days in Minnesota aside). Taking a fresh look at ways to help your winter wardrobe feel more inspiring and prepping your wardrobe for spring are something you […]

5 Trends For Fall 2016

On October 7, 2016

It’s 2016. While I don’t advocate for wearing trends that don’t resonate with you, it is helpful to know what’s in to keep your wardrobe feeling contemporary and fresh. Simply adding a color of the season to your outfit or embracing a trend full-on both add intentionality to dressing, which looks great and feels great. Check out […]

3 Outfits For Transitioning to Fall

On September 8, 2016

The shift to fall clothing is always hard for me, and I can get a little irritable (my husband might say a lot…). The weather is still warm, but it’s September, school is in swing, and it doesn’t feel overly summery anymore. What to wear? It’s too hot for true fall clothing – fine-gauge sweaters, blazers, […]
