We had two wedding weekends in a row! Two weekends

We had two wedding weekends in a row! Two weekends ago, we drove out to Williamsburg, VA where we captured this picture of my neon pink dress in front of the neon sky. How cute are the puppy photobombers? Then this past weekend was the wedding of a close family friend, where I wore the bride’s late grandmother’s dress from the 80s! It was a gift to my mother, who then gave it to me two years ago. I got it tailored right before the pandemic shut the country down, and was so happy to surprise the bride and MOB by wearing it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Recently we’ve dressed our clients for officiating a wedding, for mother-of-the-bride looks, and for attending or hosting Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. We’re so excited for the return of events, even if they may look different than events of the past. Apparently 2022 is going to be a big year for weddings!

All of our clients have been describing their clot

All of our clients have been describing their clothing needs in 2021 with similar language: We want to be as comfortable as we felt in the lounge pants of 2020, but look appropriate enough to do errands, run to the office, or hang with the kids. Introducing workleisure! Clothing that looks fashionable and professional, but feels like athleisure. Some styles use performance fabrics found in workout clothing, like this first slide with @Athleta’s blazer, and some use super soft sweatpant fabrics, like this @theory__ blazer we found at @neimanmarcus or Jack’s @publicrec pants.

Check out our last two blog posts for workleisure recommendations for both men and women. #linkinbio

Fall shopping is in full swing! We’ve been helping our clients who are going back to the office, who are continuing to work from home, and who are attending or hosting special events! We’ve been making our usual rounds at department stores like @bloomingdales and specialty boutiques like @upstairson7th (how cute is this shadow box of the store?). We even got to attend the @betsy_fisher pop-up event last weekend! What are you shopping for this fall?

For proof that I love repeating a good outfit, swipe through for a few of my favorite looks with this red-orange jacket from @betsy_fisher! From an RLS photoshoot at @tuckernuck, to hosting #styliststudio with @theclosetcollaborative, my 40th bday in London, and giving a #WearYourPower corporate presentation. A good #powercolor jacket really can take you through any event or occasion! See our blog for more outfit-repeating inspiration.
