Stop saving your clothes for "good".... enjoy them now!!

I always worked really hard to be able to buy really nice clothes. So when I would finally acquire the items, I didn’t want to mess it up. I would end up keeping them “for good” and never got the most possible enjoyment out of these investment items.

There were plenty of times I forgot that I had these precious items. When the occasion was finally right to put on such a piece sometimes they didn’t fit as well as they did when I purchased it or it was out of style and it didn't look current.

Moral of the story… there is no day like today to put on something special!

Here are a few tips to getting those items in your outfit rotation

Pull out 3 items you save for “good” hang them on the door or in the front of your closet and wear them within the next week.
Dress down a piece if you feel it’s a little dressy for your daily life with casual basics like a white tee, jeans, or sneakers.
It’s finally getting warmer out so pair a frilly dress with a pair of flat sandals and a denim jacket... go out and have some fun!

This is now I have been enjoying some of my "good pieces"

Stylish shoes don't have to be a sore subject

I love shoes!!!! They are probably my favorite thing to shop for myself and for clients!!! Shoes still fit if you gained you gained a few pounds and if you take good care of them they will last a very long time so I don't feel guilty splurging on them! My clients love shoes too...but recently they have been a sore subject ( did you know I was that corny?) I’ve had lots of conversations about foot pain, heel height, blisters... I could go on and on!

I know a thing or two about foot pain… I am 5 feet tall , moonlighting as someone that is 5'5. I've spent my life walking many avenues to the closest subway, standing at events for 10 hours, and walking for miles on end at trade shows . Instead of being in a constant state of pain, my vain self has learned to shop for shoes that are comfortable. I refuse sacrifice style for comfort, so it’s a good thing that there are so many great comfy stylish options this season.

I’ve also included a bunch of closed toe options for ladies who need to keep it a little buttoned up at the office.

Have you ever bought an item, thought you loved it, and wore it for one season for it to never be worn again? Now when you look at it hanging in your closet you think “why did I buy that and when did I ever wear that?” You probably bought a piece that was the IT trend last year and feel like you will be wearing “last year’s old news” if you were to wear it now.
