Okay, I know it's pretty much the dead of winter, but I love this outfit for both now and later into spring. The materials and colors are so versatile and fresh. The graphic sweater continues to be on trend, as well as ankle booties and the bomber jacket.  This outfit contains some trendy pieces, but also feels both classic and timeless to me.

Monochromatic for the Holidays

Are you  looking for something a little different to wear to your  upcoming holiday parties this season?  May I suggest a monochromatic look like this one?  Add some bling to spice it up and a great pair of boots.  You could also wear a scarf instead of the bling and flats instead of the boots. Whatever suits your fancy, ladies.

Don't forget there's still time to pick up a Real Life. Real Style gift certificate for Christmas!  I've been busy making deliveries, popping them in the mail, and arranging pick ups this week and I'd be happy to do the same for you or that someone special on your list!  Email me at kate@steenwykbuilders.com to get started.

Tis the Season for Scarves

Tartan plaid scarve

Scarves are still going strong for winter, in all shapes and sizes!  Here are a few fun ones to consider if you're looking to make an addition to your wardrobe or to give as a gift for Christmas.  One question I get asked a lot is how to wear a scarf.  My philosophy is the less fussy the better.  You don't want to look like you just spend an hour tying your scarf in some fancy new knots!  Think Paris chic, the simpler the better!
