Style Series: Why are you so dressed up?
Why am I so "into" fashion and dressing up? Many assume it’s just a superficial, “typical” girly thing... 🤔 Don’t get me wrong - I love an amazing outfit or designer bag... But it’s sooo much more than that...
It’s about finding your style and feeling confident in it. 💪🏼 It’s about getting a pair of pants tailored just right to your height. 👖 It’s about splurging on those shoes or dress that make you feel like a million bucks! 💰 (bonus if they are comfy enough to wear chasing the kids around or at work)
Why?
Because. 👏🏼 You. 👏🏼 Deserve. 👏🏼 It. 👏🏼
YOU - the overworked doctor, the tired mama, the juggling, multitasking super woman - don’t be shy, don’t feel guilty...! You deserve to look and feel your best. ALWAYS.
Like my Tiktok says: What’s the occasion? You exist! And yes, that’s pretty darn special. 💕

Style Series - 1 Black Dress, Multiple Ways
I have to admit, I have been living in dresses for the majority of this shelter in place. #pantsoptionalpandemic 😉 My go to has been a simple black sheath dress I got eons ago from J.Crew. I love it for the myriad of ways it can be worn:
- relaxed alone or with a slouchy cardigan
- for work with a belt, blazer, and heels
- casual chic with a sweater and boots
It’s shelter in place, but make it fashion! 😂
Style Series - Make It Work
Apparently yesterday was National Pink Day! Who knew? 💕
Did anyone else watch the original "Project Runway" and remember Tim Gunn's "Make it work!"?
This totally spoke to me. My entire life and career thus far has been about "making it work" - getting into medical school, choosing a specialty, matching, becoming a mother, starting a side business, and figuring out how to juggle it ALL... (It’s still all a work in progress 😅)
So not surprising, I often apply this sentiment to my own clothing - Not thrilled at how something looks or want to change it up a bit? Tailor it, belt it, tuck it in, put it down, flip it and reverse it... 😂
Style Series - Cuffing Denim
Let’s talk denim! So many fits, so many ways to style!
The easiest way to change up the look of your favorite jeans or give an old pair new life is the cuff. #easypeasy
No cuff - this is a traditional look, best with skinny jeans, wide legged, or flared cuts.
Single cuff - super simple way to change up a look. You can do a skinny or wide fold. Iron the edge to help it hold.
Double cuff - you can make this neat for a more sophisticated look or messy for a casual one.
Half cuff - this is my favorite right now - not too formal, not too casual...
What’s your favorite way to cuff your jeans? 👖
