Everyday style is such a personal choice but if you keep these three simple ideas uppermost in your mind, you will find that your best looks are always simple and rather easy to achieve.

I find that the number one thing that allows every woman to look and feel their best is to only wear styles that make you feel good.  Regardless of what the "hot items" might be at the moment, if they are pieces that don't leave you feeling confident and with your head in good place, then they will not translate favorably no matter how on trend they are.

Pieces that flatter your figure and accentuate the things you love about your body are what you need to turn towards.  Whether that might be long shapely legs or a striking hourglass figure, your clothing choices should highlight what you love about you.

Another important thing to consider when building your wardrobe is what is your color scheme.  Are you a bright and bold sort of girl, do you prefer a lot of patterns and prints in your closet or is basic black more your comfort zone?

For me, I can say I am one hundred percent a neutral lover.  So, whenever I add something to collection I always consider how it will play with those classic soft shades and balance out what I already own.  This charcoal grey knit dress is the perfect example of a neutral that would work effortlessly well with blacks, caramels, ivories and those deeper jewel toned colors I know I will be wearing all season.

Finally, if you have been following along for even just a little while, then you already know that I am dedicated the "Wear It Three Ways" rule of fashion.  Simply stated, if I can't wear a piece three different ways and love all of them, it doesn't come home with me.  I find that when you love shopping and clothing as much as I do, this standard rule of thumb really does help to keep me from buying more than I need and more than I will use.

And there they are, my three keys to everyday style that I live by.  I hope they help you to find the key to the looks and styles you love too.

There's something about the month of March that, no matter how wind whippingly cold it gets, the air still holds a subtle hint of spring's sweet and impending arrival.  In honor of that I'm putting together some of the looks and pieces I'm curating for my closet right now.  Fluted sleeves, pretty bows, fresh forals and shades of white, blue and blush are turning up everywhere right now.  It's a very feminine feel with glimpses of one's inner tomboy playfully peeking through.  This top from J. Crew is stealing the show with its versatility and freedom to go anywhere.  I'm also loving this one.  Another item that is going to be worth its weight in mileage is the jumper.  Black and navy versions (including this one here) can be worn now layered with a turtleneck and paired with ankle boots and then later with an off the shoulder blouse (loving this one) and nude heels.  White skinnies are always in the lineup and play so well with....everything.  These wedges are back after a wonderful summer romance with us all last year and they are a fraction of the cost.  With that, I'll be adding in a few soft touches of pale pink via this palette and this beautiful tote.  Ahhhh, spring is coming and love is in the air!

Sweater weather is here and these are some of my favorites.  Chunky, cropped, oversized or with zipper detailing there are just so many great ways to wear the season staple.  I simply love how many ways this piece can be easily reinvented.  With this many pretty choices, I had to dedicate the entire post to the best of the best.  I came across this color blocked option while recently shopping Piperlime's collection (which are currently being featured on a 20% off promo).  I'm also loving this one.  Cropped versions are also chic and sweet especially when layered over a long button down or tee.  Club Monaco's version is the perfect choice with it's super soft texture and short silhouette.  This similar soft mohair striped one would be perfect on a Saturday with well-worn in denim and your favorite riding boots.  Finally, I think I've fallen hardest of all for the poncho (so much so that I'll be dedicating an entire post to that one…stay tuned!).  This cashmere version is on my wish list.  You can shop all my faves by clicking the icons below.  Enjoy!

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you enjoyed a lovely Mother's Day with your beautiful moms yesterday.  Motherhood is a wonderfully amazing facet of being female.  In fact, there are so many great things about being a girl that I'm always finding something to be grateful for.  Today's post highlights one of them which is getting to look pretty wearing cheery little dresses like these.  Day dresses always make me happy.  Their versatility and endless appeal make them a true favorite of many and a wardrobe workhorse as well.  It seems that designers understand their versatility as well as so many of my favorites have me wishing hard for their latest looks.  These picks in particular are competing for real estate in my closet (love, love and love these options).

How about you?  What's your favorite spring staple?  Wishing you a beautiful Monday!

With so many new and beautiful items out for the season it'd be somewhat of an understatement to say I have my eye on a few items.  One of them that I find myself completely craving is The Midi Skirt.  The fresh new hemline and feminine silhouette are so right now and ready to go.  What's even better is that there are so many ways to wear them.  Today I want to share two ways I love to wear the trend.

If you're ready to wear it now, try pairing it with a bold moto jacket, printed statement scarf, sleek ankle booties and a great pair of sunnies.  Completely fresh and of the moment.  Once warm days find their way into town, you can take it in another direction by pairing it with a fun blouse, sleek shades and kickin' pair of heels in your favorite color.  Voila!  Instant springtime chic.
