Transitional pieces are the hardest to find. It has been so warm in the south the past few weeks, then when I go into a store the air conditioning is turned up too high. It drives me crazy trying to find the right clothing to wear. I was so glad to find Karen Thomas.  They have a cashmere collection that you will love.

The New York-based womenswear label offers transitional capsule collections of pared-down and timeless pieces. Karen Thomas NY focuses on design, craftsmanship, and working with a fashion philosophy.

Each piece is rendered from the highest-quality materials and created under ethical conditions. We celebrate our customer’s natural sense of freedom and uncomplicated ease through pieces imbued with timeless simplicity and a modern touch.

When you order an item online, there’s always a chance it might not fit. Chat with stylists before ordering to ensure your items will fit with your specific measurements.

Before Covid, they were mainly producing woven- silk blouses, wool trousers, and dresses. Post-Covid the main products have shifted to knits- primarily cashmere and cashmere blends. Their cornerstone has always been using quality fabrics but comfort has become a bigger consideration when designing our pieces.

What I love about our pieces is they can easily transition from home to a day out. The pieces are versatile with modern silhouettes.

The best part is that these pieces allow you to transition from season to season. I love that they are making pieces that stand the test of time.

Ways To Update Your StyleWays To Update Your Style

By Leave a Comment

Perhaps you have been working from or staying in like so many others in the recent past. It is time to venture out and get back to living. As you are getting back out there, you may have noticed that your fashion is a little outdated or not as comfortable as you thought it once was. Take this as an opportunity to reset your style by following one or all of these easy ways to update the way you look.

Footwear

When your feet feel good, so do you – and that makes it a great place to start your style update. San Antonio Shoes offer a wide variety of styles to choose from. Always choose well-made footwear so you can wear them all day long without worrying about sore or uncomfortable feet.

Purchase a new pair of sandals for warmer weather with strap and heel details that will match your clothing. Add booties for fall weather to enhance the layered look or show off your skinny jeans. A black pair of pumps is a workhorse for workdays. They are a classic option that will go with anything and feel great, too. A new pair of red loafers will be a fun accent for flair capris and a button-down oxford. Shoes can pull an outfit together.

Wardrobe

The latest social media trends may tell you that one fashion item is out and another is in. Or, they tell you that you must rotate your wardrobe with the seasons. If your favorite clothing is no longer considered to be of the moment, you can still wear it. It is also ok to buy a few new items to show your up-to-date style. Be confident in whatever you feel good wearing.

If you choose to go on a shopping spree, consider purchasing items that have a lasting cache. Classic pieces like black pants and button-down shirts can be worn in a wide variety of ways depending on the most recent fashion trends.

Accessories

If you like what you have in your closet, or if you want to add a few new accessories to your look, this is a great way to be on-trend without investing a lot in new pieces. Add the latest styles in earrings, necklaces, or bracelets to enhance your already-great wardrobe. 

Scarves are another fashionable addition to your attire. They are suitable for any season or genre of clothing. Wear a large blanket scarf when the temperatures dip or bring one on vacation as a multi-purpose cover-up. Add a delicate scarf in place of a necklace to enhance a button-down or blazer. A scarf will serve as a hair covering on a windy day or as a hair tie. Their versatility is unmatched.

Here is a video showing you how to select and wear the perfect scarf.

Go ahead and treat yourself to some great new shoes, clothes, a beautiful bag, or chic accessories. Show off your unique style or create a whole new you with what you wear. Have fun with your new purchases and take a lot of pictures!

Lilly Pulitzer Breast Cancer Awareness: Relay on the Red

Did you know that 1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime? Me either. 1 in 8 people is a big number. Knowing this information, I think it is important that we all discuss and bring awareness to breast cancer. This year has been my year of advocacy and I have been working with the local hospital to bring more awareness to cancer screening and care.

In April, we had the annual Relay on the Red. It is an event that supports survivors and their families and encourages those that are still on their journey is that they can make. I wanted to do something special for the survivors that we were honoring this year so I reached out to Lilly Pulitzer. Lilly Pulitzer designs a Breast Cancer Awareness print every October.

When you finish cancer treatment and have to re-enter the workforce it can be difficult. The survivors got to select something that would make their return a little brighter. The recipients were so honored to receive the special piece of clothing.  The tears were flowing. It was a chance for them to get back some self-confidence that cancer had tried to take from them.

In addition, raising awareness about breast cancer is great, but it’s important to take action too. Supporting companies that collaborate with BCRF during Breast Cancer Awareness Month assures your purchase makes a true impact. I can’t wait to see what new print Lilly Pulitzer will come out with this October.
