A little known fact, that many of you Seattle Natives will agree to is that in Seattle, we really don’t have or use umbrellas! Despite the fact that we are well on our way into June and it is raining….
Here are some fun ones!

Well girls its short season and here are a few tips on lengths that are right for you!
3 inch length really lengthen the leg,so keep in mind if you have short or long legs.
5 inch length are long enough to cover upper thighs but still really lengthen the leg.
7 inch length is great for everyone and appropriate for 50+ and teens.
10 inch length is best for long legs. This length is great for some work
environments. If you have short legs,either wear a wedge heel or avoid all together.
My favorite is the 7 inch since I am short 🙂 J Crew is a great place to start looking
they have a great selection for all sizes and shapes.
A DIY I’m working on with all my extra jewelry I have on hand.

The color is so fresh and inspires me to renew what I already have!
What do you have on hand that you can reuse to make new summer jewelry for yourself?
The Pareto Principle, otherwise known as the “80/20” rule holds that in most areas of life, it can also be applied to OUR wardrobes. In truth, most people only wear 20% of their clothing. The other 80% is simply over crowding our closets and taking valuable space,which leads us to a full closet and saying “I have nothing to wear!”
Here is a trick I like to teach my clients who are still having a hard time letting go of some items after we have gone through and done a “Closet Audit”:
The Hanger Trick
Go into your closet and turn all of your hangers around so that the hook faces OUTWARD instead of inward. Each time you wear an item of clothing and hang it up again, put the hanger back in your closet the “normal way” (hook facing inward). Over time, you will end up with a mixture of inward facing and outward facing hangers,much like the image you see. You will see which items you love and wear, and which pieces aren’t.
Go turn your hangers around and let me know how it goes!
Here are my favorite hangers to work with:
