The Cotton Tee Makeover

The Cotton Tee Makeover

No matter the time of day or year, more often than not you’ll find me in a cotton top in some shape or form. I sleep in them, run in them, travel in them, sip coffee by day and wine by night in them, romp through the park with the dog and kiddos in them… you get the picture. I often cry toddler when explaining why I can’t seem to get out of my cottons, but truth be told even before the boys arrived I regularly frequented the dry cleaner to clean up many a self-inflicted chocolate and red wine stains, so wash-friendly cottons have always had more longevity in my wardrobe. Of course now with the children I am maybe enjoying even more chocolate and more red wine than ever… so add in two sets of little hands and the odds of remaining stain-free are never, ever in my favor.

I’m a very visual person and there’s just something about an elegant color scheme bringing out a color’s raw beauty that just feels really good to me. In fact I get a lot of color inspiration from random things I come across in my daily pursuits such as an intricately painted row house, a vintage poster, or a unique dish pattern. Whatever it happens to be, when I see something that really grabs my attention I look closer to pick out the basic components so that I can recreate the same scheme with pieces in my wardrobe.

Un Fille en Rouge

Un Fille en Rouge

I’ve never been that into Valentine’s Day, but seeing as I am always into red why not embrace the Hallmark holiday simply for an excuse to become une fille en rouge and eat even more chocolate than usual? It’s all in the name of romance, right?

As a powerhouse hue, red is always a go-to color for me. Be it a simple splash or full on head to toe dowsing, in my opinion you really can’t go wrong with red. For color-lovers and neutral minimalists alike, this color can be statement making or understatedly chic. I think what I love so much about this color is its versatility and effectiveness.

Pops of Red

Pops of Red

I don’t have a favorite color per say, but shades of red and blue are hands down my favorite statement colors to wear. I’m not playing favorites here, but because Valentine’s Day is fast approaching I’m putting the spotlight on the color du jour. Classic, feminine, sexy, and powerful, red is perhaps one of the most impactful colors to have in your wardrobe. No matter the item, adding a pop of red adds an understated touch of femme fatale and instantly upgrades a look. Not to mention, bright pops of red are going to be trending this coming season, so be on the lookout for some fresh inspo during SS17 fashion month. Read More
