The Daily Love



TODAYsQUOTES 
"Love makes us wake up in the morning with a sense of purpose and a flow of creative ideas. Love floods our nervous system with positive energy, making us far more attractive to prospective employers, clients, and creative partners. Love fills us with a powerful charisma, enabling us to produce new ideas and new projects, even within circumstances that seem to be limited. Love leads us to atone for our errors and clean up the mess when we've made mistakes. Love leads us to act with impeccability, integrity, and excellence. Love leads us to serve, to forgive, and to hope. Those things are the opposite of a poverty consciousness; they're the stuff of spiritual wealth creation."

- Marianne Williamson, from her new book "The Law of Divine Compensation"

T-Shirt Layering

There's so much you can do with a simple sweater. A fun way to make a dressy sweater more relaxed, or an already relaxed sweater more fun, is to layer a plain white tee underneath it! This simple layering will make your overall look more interesting and cute. Throw on your fav pair of leggings and boots, a maxi skirt, or denim cut offs and sandals for warmer weather. Either way, this combo goes great for any casual day time look ;)

Lesson From a Stylist: Mixing Prints

How to Mix Prints

1.  Find two prints that have one or two of the same colors.  The jacket in the photo has black and white the shorts have black and white. 

2.  Throw in an extra color from one of the pieces to break it up.  Notice in the photo there is a hint of nude in the jacket carried out in the silk blouse.  You could also use an accent color not already in the look.  It is great to mix textures here, see how the jacket is tweed and soft, with a silky blouse underneath.

3.  How to use accessories:  Pull from the existing color palette.  The white bag in the photo is pulled from the jacket and shorts.  The black shoes pulled from the shorts. Best to use the color that tied the look together, here the black and white are the common thread.

This is not an exact science, you'll have to play around to see what works, but this can give you a place to start from.  I hope this break down may help you!
