Date Night


What can I say. I absolutely love getting dolled up for date night. I used to work in the fashion world so I used to get dolled up daily. But now I work for L.L. Bean and I wear a green shirt, jeans and sneakers every day as my uniform. What a change of pace! Truth is, I am happy with the change that I made. I am trying new things that I never had done before such as hiking, and kayaking. And I get to work for a great company! (Everything you hear about L.L. Bean being fantastic to work for is true!) 
Now that I don't get dolled up every single day it seems a little more special to me when I do. Last Friday evening my husband and I went out for sushi which is one of our favorite foods. After dinner we went for a walk in Cascade Park. We didn't take any pictures because it was pretty dark out when we got there. But I promise I will take some picture in Cascade Park for my next blog post coming up in a week or so. Stay tuned! 

In the meantime, you can shop my complete look if you'd like!

The Necessary Black T-Shirt

I have to admit, I have not been getting dressed up much these days. I think it has something to do with just wanted to be comfortable. I have been sewing a ton of masks at The Maine Square   and it just feels better to not be confined in my clothing as I am cutting fabric and sewing. However, I do have to go out of the studio occasionally. Mostly it's to the mailbox, but sometimes it's to get more supplies and of course food. I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, but I do think about how I look even when going out to do these quick errands. It makes me feel good to look half decent! Lately I have been opting for a simple black tee shirt and a pair of semi faded jeans. All I need to do it pop on a camel colored blazer and some ballet flats and I am good to go! Oh yeah, and I ALWAYS wear a mask when entering a public facility these days. I think it's just common courtesy with all that is going on with the corona virus.  Here are some of my all-time favori...

What Is Your Style?

Blouse, jeans and belt are from Talbots . Shoes are from Zulily . Handbag and earrings are vintage .  What is your style? Do you ask yourself this question from time to time and come up short of an answer? I am here to tell you not to worry about this. I agree with Kate Spade's quote "Your style is a work in progress." You are always evolving, and that is a very good thing! I struggle with defining my style completely. Even though I lean towards classic clothing with a bit of a preppy feel, I don't like to define myself as such. If I define myself under one particular umbrella, I feel like I stifle myself from possibly exploring something new. One thing I know for certain is that I truly believe that you cannot go wrong with classic pieces, as they are the backbone of our wardrobe. For example; you might love romantic styles with lots of lace and ruffles, but without adding a classic piece such as a blazer or a pair of jeans with your lacy/ruffly blouse, you co...

Do you think your hairstyle defines you?

JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser. Reactivate it to view this content. Don't get me wrong. I love long hair. In fact, I love long hair on both men and women. I have had long hair before. As a child I had long hair that my mother used to braid daily. I would sit in front of the TV watching Tom & Jerry while she perfectly created two long French braids on either side of my head. Although, I love my mother, I hated this moment. It hurt when she brushed out my hair. It hurt when she was braiding because she would make then so perfectly tight that I could feel my eyes pulling back. She is a perfectionist and wanted her little girl to look nice not have messy hair! Which I appreciated. However, I couldn't wait for my hair doing time to be over with so I could go play. The hair washing, the brushing, the combing, the styling was not something I enjoyed, but I did appreciate looking nice. As I got older I actually began to enjoy styling my hair. I lov...
