How To Wear White With Style and Confidence

🧺 Wednesday Wardrobing: How to Wear White With Style & Confidence 🤍

There’s something undeniably fresh and timeless about wearing white. From breezy summer blouses to crisp slacks and white denim, this neutral hue can be one of the most versatile and powerful tools in your style toolbox—when styled the right way.

This week on Wednesday Wardrobing, we’re talking all about how to style white, what to wear underneath it, and how to keep it looking clean and chic all season long.


🧊 Why We Love White

White symbolizes simplicity, sophistication, and effortless elegance. It works year-round but especially shines during spring and summer when light fabrics and bright tones dominate. It can feel tailored and structured or relaxed and beachy—depending on how you style it!


👗 How to Style White

1. Mix Textures:
When wearing all white, mixing textures keeps the look interesting. Pair crisp white denim with a gauzy cotton blouse or a ribbed knit with flowy white trousers. It gives dimension and prevents your outfit from feeling flat.

2. Add Neutrals or Metallics:
White looks amazing when paired with other neutrals like camel, blush, olive, and gray. Want to dress it up? Add metallic accessories in gold or silver for a refined, elevated look.

3. Try a Pop of Color:
White is the perfect blank canvas. Try layering on a statement necklace, colorful shoe, or bold handbag to bring a fun punch to your outfit.

4. Make it Monochrome:
Head-to-toe white is bold and beautiful. Don’t be afraid to go for an all-white look—just make sure your pieces are slightly different shades or textures for contrast.


🩲 What to Wear Under White

This is key to pulling off white without worry.

1. Nude is Best:
Choose undergarments that match your skin tone—not white. Nude or blush-toned bras and panties disappear under white fabric and prevent anything from showing through.

2. Seamless Styles Win:
Look for seamless panties and smooth bras that won’t create lines or ridges. T-shirt bras and high-rise shaping briefs are your best friends here.

3. Avoid Patterns or Lace:
Keep your underlayers simple. No polka dots, stripes, or florals—even a subtle print can peek through white clothing in the sunlight.


🧼 How to Keep White Clothes Clean

Let’s be honest: wearing white can feel risky, especially if you’re a coffee drinker or taco lover. But don’t worry—we’ve got some pro tips for keeping your whites looking their brightest:

1. Treat Stains ASAP:
The faster you act, the better. Blot (don’t rub) stains and rinse with cold water immediately when possible.

2. Use a Whitening Detergent:
Opt for a detergent designed to keep whites bright. Products with optical brighteners can make your garments look fresh and clean.

3. Wash Separately:
Always wash your whites separately to prevent color transfer from darker items. And avoid bleach—it can yellow over time!

4. Invest in a Good Lint Roller:
White fabric tends to show fuzz, pet hair, and lint. Keep a roller in your closet or handbag for a quick polish before heading out.


🧥 Bonus Styling Tip: Layering with White

White is an excellent layering color—think white tanks under cardigans, white button-downs under blazers, or white jeans with tunic tops. It’s a must-have base for all your seasonal looks.

Wednesday Wardrobing: Putting The Trends Together – Tie Front Tops

Tie Front Tops: The Trend You Need This Season 🌸✨

If there’s one trend taking over closets this season, it’s the tie front top! Whether you’re looking to add a playful touch to your casual look or a chic flair to your weekend wear, this style has you covered. Let’s talk about why we love it and how to wear it for every occasion.

Why We Love Tie Front Tops

  1. Perfect for Petites: Tie front tops typically hit mid-hip, making them ideal for shorter frames. They give you that cropped look without sacrificing coverage.
  2. Get the Cropped Look Without the Crop: If you love the cropped trend but aren’t quite ready to bare your midriff, a tie front top is the perfect solution. It defines your waist without showing too much skin.
  3. Versatile Styling: These tops work with just about anything in your closet. Pair them with shorts for a casual day out, a denim skirt for a chic lunch date, or comfy lounge pants for a cozy weekend look.

How to Wear a Tie Front Top

  • Fit Matters: Aim for the hemline to hit midway between your natural waist and crotch. This creates a balanced, flattering silhouette.
  • Avoid the Hips: If you’re curvier in the hips, avoid letting the tie sit right at your widest point. Opt for a slightly higher tie to draw attention to your waist.
  • Dress It Up or Down: For a casual vibe, wear a tie front top with denim shorts or joggers. To elevate the look, pair it with a high-waisted skirt or tailored pants.

Wednesday Wardrobing Recap

In this week’s Wednesday Wardrobing video, I showed how to style tie front tops with everything from relaxed shorts to polished skirts. Missed it? You can catch the replay here: https://youtu.be/0YDLeIzC_U4

Stay tuned for more styling tips and trend updates! 💖💥

The Ruffle And Frill Trend For Spring 2025

Ruffles and Frills: The Feminine Trend Taking Over Spring 2025

If you’re ready to embrace a touch of romance and femininity in your wardrobe this season, look no further than Spring 2025’s most charming trend: Ruffles and Frills. From puffed shoulders to ruched waists and flouncy sleeves, this playful yet polished look is making waves across runways and boutiques—and it’s absolutely wearable at any age.

Why We Love This Trend

Ruffles and frills instantly elevate your outfit with texture, softness, and movement. Whether subtly placed or boldly featured, these details add a stylish flair that flatters and enhances your shape. This trend pairs especially well with spring’s lighter fabrics and softer color palettes.

Key Details to Watch For

  • Puffed Shoulders and Sleeves: A nod to vintage silhouettes, puffed sleeves create shape and draw the eye upward.
  • Ruched Waists: This detail offers a flattering, slimming effect that enhances natural curves.
  • Flounce Sleeves: Feminine and breezy, they bring a graceful feel to any look.
  • Ruffle Details: Whether along the neckline, hemline, or sleeves, ruffles give a fresh, youthful vibe.

Style It Your Way – At Any Age

Don’t be afraid to experiment with this trend. For a youthful yet age-appropriate approach:

  • Pair flouncy tops with structured pants or denim for balance.
  • Layer a ruffled blouse under a tailored blazer for the office.
  • Style puff-sleeve tops with high-rise jeans for an effortlessly chic weekend look.
  • Keep accessories minimal to let the fabric details shine.

Shop The Look

Here are a few of our current boutique favorites that capture the essence of the Ruffles & Frills trend:

  • Tribal Sportswear Ruffle Sleeve Top: Easy to dress up or down, this one is a great wardrobe staple.
  • Democracy Soutache Neck Top: With ruched waist and pleated shoulders, this ultra-soft top is all about feminine charm.
  • Democracy Keyhole Top: Features a soft ruffle at the neckline and delicate sleeve detail.
  • Democracy Crochet Top: The puffed sleeve and A-line silhouette are sweet and sophisticated.
  • Staccato Keyhole Tie Neck Top: Offers a lightweight and flowy feel with subtle ruffle detail.
  • Wishlist Lace Trim Blouse: Romantic and soft with the perfect dose of frill.
  • Wishlist Satin Blouse in Rose and Champagne: Adds a hint of shine and a touch of ruffle elegance.

Closet Clean Out Challenge 2025 – Step 4

Closet Clean Out Challenge Step 4

You’ve made it through organizing your closet by category and color, tackled those “sacred cows” with my 10 questions, and created space for a more functional wardrobe. Now, it’s time for the most rewarding step of the process: Refresh and Renew!

This week’s focus is on creating a Buying List—your personalized roadmap to smarter shopping and a closet that works for you. Join me live this Wednesday, January 29th, at 6 p.m. MST on Facebook and Instagram, where I’ll walk you through the next step of this challenge.

Why Create a Buying List?

Your Buying List ensures that every new piece you add to your wardrobe serves a purpose. It will save you time, money, and frustration, while helping you avoid buying items that don’t work with your existing wardrobe. Keep this list in your purse so it’s always handy, and refer to it during any shopping trip.

How to Create Your Buying List

Grab a piece of paper and divide it into these four categories:

1️⃣ Basics I Need

  • Take stock of core wardrobe essentials like neutral tops, jackets, slacks, skirts, and shoes in classic colors like black, white, navy, tan, and grey.
  • Are any of your basics wearing out or missing? Write them down.
  • Remember, these are investment pieces—focus on quality and durability.

2️⃣ Items That Need Matches

  • Identify printed or standout pieces in your closet that don’t have a match.
  • Think jackets missing the perfect top or skirts needing a matching blouse.
  • Pro tip: Take photos of these items or bring them shopping with you to ensure you find the perfect match.

3️⃣ Trends I Want to Buy

  • Keep your wardrobe fresh by identifying trends you love for the season.
  • Write these down so you’re prepared when you go shopping.
  • Trends don’t have to be expensive but should complement your personal style and fit seamlessly into your wardrobe.

4️⃣ My Best Colors

  • Knowing your best colors is key to creating a cohesive wardrobe. If your hair color or skin tone has changed, your color palette might need an update.
  • Unsure of your colors? Use the “Color Me Beautiful” method to determine if you’re a Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter.

Why This Step Matters

This step is about creating a wardrobe that serves you, saves you time, and makes shopping a breeze. By focusing on quality basics, strategic matches, trendy updates, and colors that flatter you, your wardrobe will become a well-oiled machine.

Tune In Live

I’ll be discussing Step 4 in detail during my Wednesday Wardrobing live video this week.

Don’t forget about our special incentive to reward your closet cleanout efforts! For every business-appropriate clothing item you donate to Dress For Success, you’ll receive $1 in in-store credit (up to a $20 maximum). Your donations will directly support women in our community who are striving to achieve economic independence.

Hurry, though—you only have two weeks left to take advantage of this offer! Gather your donations and bring them to Fashion Crossroads Inc. today. Let’s turn your cleanout into a meaningful contribution! 💖

Top Tips for Shopping Sidewalk Sales

  1. Come Prepared: Make a list of what you need and want. This helps you stay focused and ensures you don’t overlook any must-have items.
  2. Dress Comfortably: Wear comfortable shoes and lightweight clothing. You’ll be doing a lot of walking and browsing, so comfort is key.
  3. Arrive Early: The best deals often go quickly. Arriving early gives you the best chance to snag those coveted items before they’re gone.
  4. Set a Budget: It’s easy to get carried away with all the discounts. Set a budget to avoid overspending and ensure you get the most value for your money.
  5. Check for Quality: Sometimes, items on sale can be slightly damaged or irregular. Take the time to inspect each item to ensure you’re getting a good deal.
  6. Bring Cash: Some vendors might offer better deals for cash purchases. It also helps you stick to your budget.
  7. Try Things On: If possible, try on clothing and accessories to ensure they fit well and look good on you. Many sidewalk sales have fitting areas or allow returns, so take advantage of this.
  8. Layer Up: If you’re shopping for clothing, wear a tank top or camisole underneath. This makes trying on tops and jackets easier and quicker.
  9. Stay Hydrated: Shopping can be exhausting, especially in the summer heat. Bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated and energized.
  10. Have Fun: Sidewalk sales are a great way to find unique items at amazing prices. Enjoy the experience and the thrill of the hunt!

Shop The Sales Like A Boss: Part II

10 Tips for How to Be a Smart Sale Shopper

Sales can be a fantastic opportunity to score some great deals, but they can also be overwhelming and lead to impulsive purchases that you might regret later. To help you navigate sales like a pro, we’ve compiled 10 more tips for how to be a smart sale shopper. Whether you’re shopping our latest “Accessorize With Color” collection or looking for other fashion steals, these tips will ensure you make the most out of every sale.

1. Don’t Trust The Size

Sometimes items end up on the sale racks because they were mis-sized by either the vendor or the store. When you are shopping sales, always look at the item and see if the size seems correct. When in doubt, try it on.

2. Check The Displays

Sales sections can get chaotic and shoppers do not always put things back where they belong. If you find a sales item that you love, but it isn’t in your size, check the other racks to see if it was put back wrong. It is also a good idea to check the store displays. Sometimes items get missed in a markdown.

3. Do Your Research

Research the regular prices of the items you’re interested in. This way, you can determine if the sale price is genuinely a good deal.

4. Check For Duplicates

Before you take your item to the counter, check the rack to see if the same item is also on sale in a different color. Compare the sales prices. If there is a discrepancy, point it out to a sales associate. You may end up getting an even better deal.

5. Examine The Item

Stores are motivated to move sales items, so be sure to check it over for damages. Are all the buttons there? Are the seams okay and not coming apart? Do the zippers work? Are all the hook and eyes attached? Finding damages can save you even more money.

6. Check Return Policies

Before making a purchase, familiarize yourself with the store’s return policy. This is especially important during sales, as some items might be final sale.

7. Avoid Asking For A Bundle Deal

If you are not shopping in a market setting where bartering is common, don’t try to barter. Most brick and mortar stores do not barter with customers, and it just makes sales people mad. The only legitimate way to get a further discount is because the item is damaged or mispriced.

8. Use Coupons and Promo Codes

Look for additional discounts through coupons and promo codes. During our live sales at Fashion Crossroads, we often share special promo codes that are only valid for the day.

9. Think About Versatility

When considering a sale item, think about how it fits into your existing wardrobe. Choose pieces that can be mixed and matched easily to get the most wear out of them.

10. Don’t Be In A Rush

Good sales shopping takes time. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to wander, look over the racks and the store so you don’t miss any good deals.

How to shop sales like a BOSS!

o-CLOTHES-SHOPPING-facebook-1

lady browsing through a clothes rail of dresses

It’s summer clearance sales time, and I know you are rubbing your hands together in eager anticipation of all the great deals you are going to find.  I know the routine. You plan your shopping day, pack your tote, add some water, and off you go.  But when you get there, the sheer number of overcrowded, disorganized racks is daunting.  With clothes on the floor and draped over the racks, sales shopping quickly becomes way too much work.  Does this sound like you?

Let me give you some tips and tricks to make sales shopping a little easier:

  1. Have a list:  When you head out with nothing in your brain except scoring on some cheap prices, you end up buying items that, while they may be cheap, really don’t fit in your wardrobe.  Just because it’s cheap, doesn’t mean you should buy it.  The most expensive items in your closet are the cheap ones that you never wear!
  2. Try everything on:  Take it from me, if it is on the sales rack, there is a reason.  The best items are there because they were just too expensive to begin with.  These are the real steals.  But many items are there because there was a fit issue. If you see 6 of one style on the sale rack, avoid it. That is a true indication there is a problem with the item.  The best sales items will have only 1 or 2 left.
  3. Shop early: Get there first.  The best of the best sell right away.  Don’t wait until the racks have been decimated by all the shoppers before you!
  4. Shop alone: Friends are awesome, but they are not always helpful when you are shopping.  We all have a bias towards what we like, and so often I see friends and family imposing their personal tastes on others to the detriment of the shopper.  Meet your friends or family for lunch after your shopping is finished and brag about all your great finds!
  5. Get On The Notification Lists: The best way to get notified about sales is to be on your favorite store’s marketing list.  Whether they send out post cards, emails or texts (all all three).  t the end of the day, your favorite stores communicate with you primarily via email.  If you want to get a jump on the sales, you have to read those emails.
  6. Join the VIP Group:  Most stores will have a Facebook Group that is for their VIPs.  Typically, one of the perks of being on these lists is early notification of sales.  And, if it is a favorite store, you may want to know about other things like new arrivals of your go to brands.

Following these 6 tips should make sale shopping really beneficial to you and not overwhelming and exhausting.  It’s a great time to take advantage of discounted prices and round out your summer wardrobe.

Join me live tonight around 6 p.m. as I go over these tips in my weekly Wednesday Wardrobing Series.  You can catch me live on Facebook or Instagram.

How To Choose the Best Shoes To Flatter Your Legs

How to Choose the Best Shoes to Flatter Your Legs

Choosing the right shoes can make a huge difference in how your legs look and feel. Whether you have short legs, thick legs, thick ankles, short feet, or long feet, there’s a perfect pair of shoes out there to flatter your unique shape. Here’s a guide to help you find the most flattering footwear for your legs and feet.

For Short Legs

If you have short legs, the goal is to create the illusion of length. Here are some tips:

  • Nude Heels: Shoes that match your skin tone help elongate your legs by creating a continuous line.
  • Pointed-Toe Shoes: These can make your legs appear longer by drawing the eye forward.
  • High Heels: Even a small heel can add height and lengthen the look of your legs. Avoid ankle straps, as they can cut off the line of your leg and make them appear shorter.
  • Vertical Details: Shoes with vertical stripes or embellishments help to elongate the leg.

For Thick Legs

Thicker legs can be beautifully highlighted with the right shoe choice:

  • Chunky Heels: They provide balance to the proportion of thicker legs and look more harmonious than delicate, thin heels. Avoid ankle straps, as they can emphasize a wider ankle.
  • Dark Colors: Darker shades tend to have a slimming effect.
  • Low-Cut Vamp: Shoes that are cut low on the top of the foot (vamp) can make legs look longer and leaner.
  • Wedges: They offer height and stability, which is great for thick legs.

For Thick Ankles

To complement thick ankles, look for shoes that don’t draw attention to the ankle area:

  • Ankle Boots: Opt for ones that fit snugly around the ankle. Wide ankle boots can make your legs look wider.
  • Avoid Ankle Straps: Straps can make ankles appear thicker.
  • Heeled Shoes: Heels can elongate the legs and draw attention away from the ankles.
  • D’Orsay Flats: These shoes, which expose the arch of the foot, can make your ankles appear slimmer.

For Short Feet

If you have short feet, certain styles can help elongate their appearance:

  • Pointed-Toe Shoes: These give the illusion of a longer foot.
  • Narrow Heels: Slim heels can make feet look longer and more elegant.
  • Vertical Designs: Shoes with vertical patterns or embellishments can elongate the look of your feet.
  • Avoid Round Toes: These can make your feet appear shorter.

For Long Feet

Balancing long feet with the right shoes can create a more proportionate look:

  • Round-Toe Shoes: These can make feet appear shorter and more balanced.
  • Ankle Straps: Straps across the ankle can help break up the length of the foot.
  • Chunky Shoes: Thicker and chunkier shoes can help balance the length of long feet.
  • Color Blocks: Shoes with multiple colors can break up the length of the foot visually.

Additional Tips

  • Comfort is Key: No matter your leg or foot type, comfort should always be a priority. Ensure your shoes provide adequate support, don’t hurt your feet, and can be worn comfortably all day.
  • Proportional Heels: Choose a heel height that you are comfortable with and that complements your leg shape.
  • Quality Over Quantity: Invest in high-quality shoes that will last longer and offer better support and fit.
