In the world of fashion, less is often more. A capsule wardrobe, composed of versatile and timeless pieces, can streamline your closet while still keeping you effortlessly stylish for any occasion. Whether you're aiming for a minimalist aesthetic or simply seeking efficiency in your wardrobe, here are some must-have essentials to build your capsule collection:
Perfect Pair of Jeans: Invest in a high-quality pair of jeans that fit you like a glove. Opt for a classic style, such as straight-leg or skinny, in wash of your preference. These jeans can effortlessly transition from casual outings to more polished looks with the right styling. Right now I have the most perfect jeans for not only shorter women but taller women as well (because lets be honest tall girls really do have to fight for the perfect jean sizing- which just isn't fair!
Comfortable Leggings: A STAPLE for both lounging at home and running errands, and even dressing up, leggings are a must-have in any capsule wardrobe. Look for a pair made from soft, stretchy fabric that offers both comfort and style. (as well as fleece line for the colder months!) Black leggings, in particular, can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. We all have seen the picture of Brad and I (if you don't know my 6'7" husband)- I have leggings that will fit nearly every size!
Basic Tank Tops: Stock your wardrobe with a few basic tank tops in neutral colors like white, black, or gray. I literally have the most infamous tank tops that you will want to stock up on for years to come. They are the most versatile piece of clothing you could possibly own. These simple tops serve as the foundation for countless outfits and can be layered under cardigans, blazers, or worn on their own during warmer months.
Classic Blazer: A well-tailored blazer instantly elevates any outfit, adding a touch of sophistication and polish. Opt for a timeless silhouette in a neutral color like black, navy, or camel. But better yet DENIM, it's not only versatile and classy but it can help you transition to any season. Whether paired with jeans or dress pants/joggers for a casual-chic look, worn over a set for a 'springy' look, or even worn over an athletic set of black leggings or white sweats and a everything black shirt can really jazz up an outfit. A classic blazer is a versatile essential.
Stylish Sneakers: No capsule wardrobe is complete without a pair of comfortable yet stylish sneakers. Choose a versatile design that can be worn with a variety of outfits, from dresses to jeans to sweats. Sneakers are a timeless option that adds a casual-cool vibe to any ensemble.
By incorporating these key pieces into your wardrobe, you'll have a solid foundation for creating countless stylish looks without the clutter of unnecessary items. Remember, the key to a successful capsule wardrobe is choosing quality over quantity and selecting pieces that can be mixed and matched with ease. With these essentials in your closet, you'll always be ready to step out in style, no matter the occasion.

]]>In today's fast-paced world, where screens and structured activities dominate much of our children's lives, the importance of unstructured play (especially through an outlet such as an instrument) cannot be underestimated. Encouraging our children to play not only brings joy and fun into their lives, but it also serves as a catalyst for self-expression, mind expansion, and the development of creativity. I will talk about some of the benefits of play and why I promote this in my household.
Self-Expression: Play provides an outlet for children to express themselves freely, without the fear of judgment or rules. Whether it's through imaginative role-playing, playing/crating music, or creating artwork, children can communicate their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a way that words sometimes cannot capture. Play encourages them to explore different emotions, try out new ideas, and express their unique perspectives, helping them develop a strong sense of self.
Mind Expansion: Play acts as a gateway to expanding a child's mind and cognitive abilities. When engaged in open-ended play or just having a musical instrument at hand, children are constantly problem-solving, experimenting, and making connections. They develop critical thinking skills, learn cause-and-effect relationships, and enhance their spatial awareness as well as their ability for fine motor skills. Through activities like playing the string of a guitar or finding placement of fingers on a piano, solving puzzles, or engaging in scientific experiments, children exercise their minds and expand their understanding of the world around them.
Creativity: Play is a fertile ground for nurturing creativity. When children are given the freedom to explore, imagine, and invent, they develop their creative muscles. Whether it's through artistic endeavors, creating stories, inventing new games, and songs play sparks the imagination and encourages out-of-the-box thinking. It helps children develop flexibility, adaptability, and the ability to think divergently, all of which are crucial skills in an ever-changing world.
Emotional Development: Play provides a safe space for children to process and understand their emotions. Through play, they can explore different roles, try on different personalities, and make sense of their experiences. It allows them to practice empathy, understand others' perspectives, and develop social and emotional intelligence. Play also serves as a stress reliever, helping children release pent-up emotions and regulate their feelings in a healthy way.
Social Skills: Play promotes social interaction and the development of essential social skills. Whether it's engaging in cooperative play with peers or negotiating roles and rules during pretend play, or if it is an instructor coaching your child through learning a new instrument children learn how to communicate, collaborate, share, and resolve conflicts. Play helps them understand social dynamics, develop empathy, and build meaningful relationships, setting the foundation for positive interactions in various settings throughout their lives.
In a world that often prioritizes structured activities and academic achievement, it is crucial to recognize and embrace the immense value of play in a child's life. By encouraging our children to play, we provide them with a powerful platform for self-expression, mind expansion, and creativity. So let us allow them the time (or even schedule a time!), space, and freedom to explore, imagine, and create. Let us celebrate play as a vital component of their growth and development, and witness the incredible benefits it brings to their lives.
Remember, play is not just for children. As adults, we can also tap into the power of play to foster our own self-expression, expand our minds, and ignite our creativity. Let us embrace playfulness (and the ability to take up learning anytime we want because we never stop learning!), as it has the potential to enrich our lives and bring us closer to our inner child's joy and wonder.

Versatile Pants: Opt for a pair of pants that are comfortable, durable, and easy to mix and match with other items. Consider neutral colors like black, navy, or khaki for versatility.
Convertible Scarf: A lightweight scarf that can be worn in multiple ways is a great addition to your travel wardrobe. It can serve as a stylish accessory, provide extra warmth when needed, or even be used as a makeshift cover-up.
Hat: A hat not only adds a stylish touch to your outfit but also protects you from the sun. Choose a hat that suits your style and provides adequate shade for your face.
Comfy Shoes: Invest in a pair of comfortable shoes suitable for long walks and various activities. Look for sneakers, flats, or slip-on shoes that offer good support and cushioning. Our wedges are the perfect vacation shoe!
Soft Sweater: A soft and cozy sweater is a versatile layering piece that can be worn over shirts or paired with pants. Opt for a neutral color or a classic pattern that complements your travel wardrobe. This will also help keep you warm on the plane!
Remember, it's also important to consider the weather and destination you're traveling to when selecting your outfits. Additionally, pack items that can be easily mixed and matched to create different looks with fewer pieces, allowing for a more compact and efficient travel wardrobe. This way you don't have to pay extra fees for a checked bag!
Pink is a color that exudes femininity, elegance, and playfulness. It is a shade that can be incorporated into any outfit to create a stunning and eye-catching look (It's also one of my most FAVORITE colors). Whether you're going for a bold and vibrant statement or a subtle touch of color, the perfect pink outfit can make you feel confident and empowered. In this blog post, I will talk about different ways to rock the color pink and create stylish ensembles that will turn heads wherever you go.
Pretty in Pink: A Monochromatic Ensemble Monochromatic outfits are a fashion-forward choice that creates a sleek and sophisticated look. Opt for different shades of pink in your clothing, such as a peachy pastel pink graphic paired with bubble gum pink distressed jeans or a dusty pink dress with matching accessories! Complete the look with some pink highlights in your hair and a subtle pink lip for the perfect pink ensemble.
Pop of Pink: Adding a Splash of Color If you're hesitant to go all-out with a pink outfit, try incorporating pops of pink into your ensemble. Pair a pink blazer (which right now are SO IN for spring and summer light jacket wear!) or even a block colored pink button up with a neutral-colored outfit, or accessorize with pink shoes, a statement handbag, or pink jewelry. These small touches of pink will add vibrancy and excitement to your overall look.
Bold and Beautiful: Pink Prints and Patterns Make a statement by embracing pink prints and patterns. Floral prints, polka dots, or abstract patterns in shades of pink can be the centerpiece of your outfit. Pair a pink printed dress or a pink abstract pink jumpsuit with a white blazer or a pink blazer with solid-colored pants (for another monochromatic look). Keep the rest of your accessories and makeup minimal to let the bold pink print shine.
Power Pink: Suits and Blazers For a professional and powerful look, consider wearing a pink suit or blazer (we have the perfect pink professional wear!). A well-tailored pink blazer paired with matching trousers or a pencil skirt can make a strong and stylish statement. Balance the boldness of the suit with a neutral-colored blouse/tank (we have the perfect fitting tanks!) or to spice it up and add some fun a graphic t-shirt, and complete the look with sleek accessories and wedges!
The perfect pink outfit is all about expressing your personal style and embracing the versatility of this captivating color. Whether you prefer a monochromatic ensemble, a pop of pink, bold prints, contrasting colors, or a powerful suit, there are endless possibilities to create a stunning pink look. So go ahead, unleash your creativity, and let pink become your fashion ally to conquer any occasion with grace and confidence!
]]>A sweat skirt is a versatile and comfortable option for the spring and summer seasons! This sporty yet stylish piece can be dressed up or down, making it a go-to choice for various occasions. Here are four different ways you can wear a skirt and style it for various occasions:
Dress it up: Pair the skirt with a cute oversized sweater and some wedges. This combination adds a touch of sophistication to your outfit while maintaining a comfortable and stylish look. You can wear this ensemble for a casual date night or a weekend brunch with friends.
Office-ready: Add a blazer (I have sooooo MANY good blazers right now you don't wanna miss!) to your skirt for a chic spring/summer work or church outfit. Opt for a lightweight blazer in a complementary color and pair it with a blouse or a tucked-in shirt (this could even be one of my back to the basics comfortable short sleeve t-shirts!). Complete the look with some wedges, and you're ready for a professional and polished appearance.
Casual and comfy: For a relaxed and comfortable look, go back to the basics. Pair your skirt with a simple t-shirt or even the matching cropped hoodie and some tennis shoes. This effortless combination is perfect for running errands, meeting friends for a casual lunch, or even enjoying a leisurely day at home while looking so CUTE.
Sporty and fun: If you're heading to a baseball game or any sporting event, you can still wear your skirt with a touch of sporty flair. Simply throw on a basic tee, grab your favorite sneakers, and top it off with a baseball cap. This ensemble strikes the perfect balance between comfort and style, allowing you to cheer on your team in a fashionable way.
Remember, these are just a few suggestions to get you started. Feel free to mix and match different tops, accessories, and shoes to create your own unique looks with the skirt (check out my Summer Collection for even more mix and match options!) . Experimenting with different styles and embracing your personal taste will help you find the perfect combination that suits your individual style and the occasion at hand. So, embrace the sweat skirt trend and enjoy the perfect blend of comfort and style for your spring and summer wardrobe!
