pop of color :: shoes

If you’ve been reading any of my posts, or following me on Instagram, then you already know that I am an obsessive weirdo about a HUGE FAN of color.  Looking into my closet, you’ll see about 90% color, and 10% neutrals.
In other words, 90% crazy and 10% sane.
(That actually explains a lot about me, now that [...]

Target Deals!

Target is one of my happy places.  I like to call it “the home of affordable style.”  John likes to call it, “the black hole.”  As in, “How much of our money disappeared into the black hole today, Sherri?”
(I’m sure he means that in a good way.)
Y’all know what I mean though, right?  Target is [...]

the closet project :: wrapping it up

Welcome to the 7th, and final, week of the Closet Project!  Thank you all so much for reading, commenting, and just generally cheering on this little series.  I’ve had so many people over the last few weeks tell me that the Closet Project has inspired them to “shop” their closets before buying something new…..mission accomplished, [...]

the closet project :: week 6

Happy 2013 everyone!
You may have noticed that the Closet Project took a little, ahem, break over the holidays.  I can neither confirm nor deny that this was due to an extended period of lounging in stretchy comfort.
(Okay, fine.  I can confirm it.)
But, I’m back.  And ready to show you the (few) outfit combos I came [...]

sherri’s christmas wish list

My husband and I generally have different ideas about what constitutes a fun present.  He tends to think gifts should be PRACTICAL.  (i.e. BORING.) I, on the other hand, think a gift should be something you would NEVER buy for yourself.  (i.e. something outlandish and usually insane.)
I’m gonna give you one guess as to which one [...]

the closet project :: week 4

It’s December, y’all!  Or as we like to call it in our house, “The Month Where We Spend At Least A Gazillion Dollars On Babysitting, and WHY Did I Not Become a Professional Babysitter, Again?”
This week kicked off the holiday season festivities, which basically meant that I had to create outfits worthy of more than [...]

the closet project :: week 3

Welcome to the Closet Project :: Week 3!  It could also be called “The Closet Project: Is it Time to Put on My Stretchy Pants?”  Because, y’all?  This week was all about eating.  (Well, really it was all about giving thanks. But also, the food.)
During our Thanksgiving dinner, everyone went around the table and named [...]

peplum

The ultra-feminine peplum trend is making a serious fashion statement this Fall. Defined, a “peplum” is a flared ruffle attached to a waist of a jacket, bodice, etc. Though this isn’t a look that is suitable for any and every body type, it is a flattering look on many, since it creates an hour-glass look [...]

The Short of the Season

The trendiest short of the season is the denim short. And, thankfully, they aren’t made like they use to be! The newest denim shorts are soft, stretchy and sexier than ever! Select a dark rinse denim wash for the most stylish, flattering and universal look. These shorts are cute with flip flops and flat sandals [...]

A Faux Summer Glow

It’s that time of year…when I just cannot stand my pale winter skin for one more minute and reach for the self-tanner to get me through until I can get some real sun on my skin! Real tan or fake tan, let’s be honest…everyone looks better, slimmer, healthier with a bit of color on their [...]
