So many people get stressed about what to wear during the holidays, but let me tell you. If you have a little black dress, you’re ready for any occasion.

Why You Should Buy Clothes That Give You Confidence

Hot take: we really need to stop allowing people to say that clothes and makeup are frivolous items that women give too much value. When I’m well dressed, I have more confidence, higher self-esteem, and feel ready to take on the world. While there are things that I value more than my clothes, I do place high value on my self-esteem. And that’s why I believe that you should buy clothes that give you confidence.

She’s My Cherry Pie: the Draper James Dress Your Closet Needs

It’s not a well-kept secret that blogging allows me some very cool opportunities.  Last month after the Summit at Fritz Farm opened in Lexington, Kentucky, I got invited to the Draper James grand opening.  Unfamiliar with the brand?  Draper James is the southern inspired clothing, accessory and home line started by Reese Witherspoon.  The Lexington store is the third overall following the first store in Nashville and another in Dallas.
