It’s time for me to go back to my roots–styling! I feel like I’m beauty’d out; most posts here have been about makeup and beauty (meanwhile my makeup career began as an extension of my styling/image consulting one…lol). If time permits, I’d love to do more posts on putting outfits together and color but things like work, snacks, and the 50 million Firefox crashes I go through each time I sit down at the computer hold me back.

It almost pains me to show some of these items because I’m so dead against buying clothing that won’t last long, but as long as we all understand some of these are one-offs and not wardrobe additions, I think we can proceed safely, right? Good!

These outfits are for when you want to be causal, but still want some ‘wow’ factor. Definitely not for the tame.
