My 3 Tips For Shopping Online Sales

mindset style Jan 12, 2021

Do you ever feel like the clothing sales are never-ending? Because I certainly feel like that and I am ALWAYS falling hard for a good sale.

Ann Taylor has been a favorite lately.

Yes, Ann Taylor. What, AT not at the top of the list of where you think a professional stylist shops? That's the beauty of shopping for fit and knowing your style personality -- I can shop almost anywhere and make it #fashun, and I can teach you to do the same.  

Here are my tips for shopping a retailer full of basics that are sometimes short on style, and coming out on top:

  1. Figure out a plan before you shop

When you're looking through a site full of basics, it's way too easy to default into getting one more black cardigan (that you probably don't need) than pushing your style. For example, I'll decide to look for cozy sweaters with interesting details for Zoom (and life!), or comfortable pants that pull on but still look polished.

Year in Review: The Pandemic Style Edition

I can hardly believe we're closing in on the end of 2020. I don't know about you, but this has been the fastest-slowest year ever. At times it felt like we were moving through molasses, and on the other hand, I'm pretty sure it was March, then July, then November.

Stage 3: Keep it comfy, but also cute. Festive Fridays were born: Put on a cute top and glam it up with makeup on Fridays.

Whew, what a week? Am I right?!

The emotions of the week finally caught up to me and I passed out hard on the couch before bedtime. 

I don't know about you, but my emotions are mixed. I am 1000% overjoyed at the final result of this election, and having actual competent adults in the Office again, but the closeness of this race and the fact that the vast majority of white voters voted in 2020 exactly the way they did in 2016 is staggering. 

And please don't get me started on the 55% of white women who voted for a white supremacist agenda. Please. There is work to do.

All that to say, if you are newer here, or if you've been hanging tough with me for a while, then you know that my identity is never divorced from my calling and my profession as a stylist and a confidence coach.
