Dancer and Fashionista!

Today we are lucky to have a beautiful dancer, a mom of three as well as a total fashionista share with us her fashion tips!



  • What are your favorite stores to shop & why?
Nordstroms-fabulous fashions and incredible service
Anthropologie, Langford Market, White House Black Market, Target 
  • Describe your favorite go to piece
Summer- fun sundress
Winter- great scarf to make jeans and riding boots and step up
  • Define classy and stylish
Classy-Being comfortable and proud of your body and wearing clothes that compliment you in the most flattering and respectable way. Recognizing what works for your body type and what you feel pretty wearing. 
Stylish- Knowing the season’s new trends and tips and pulling them to compliment your existing wardrobe. Play with fun colors and trends that work for your coloring and body type but avoid trends that don’t work for you just because they are popular. Making yourself stylish is more important than “being stylish”. 
  • Name one article of clothing you can not live without
Super fun platform heels
  • Please give us some advice on how a working mom who teaches middle school should dress
Having taught middle school I know the level of dress is more professional at this age group and you aren’t limited to the typical long skirts etc. Middle school teachers like to feel hip and respected. Breaking up a suit with pants, fun blousy top, feminine cardigan, pencil skirts at or just above the knee, dresses with clean lines, maxi dresses, dark skinny jeans with riding boots and a fun top, skinny jeans and sandals with fun top and cardigan, anything that is comfortable to teach in but still leaves you feeling empowered and pretty at the same time. I often wore heels and dressed more business dress than teacher dress. 
  • One Indulgence when it comes to fashion/style
Handbags! It’s worth the splurge for something special that is classic and will last a very long time. 
  • When it comes to your style - what is most important to you.....comfort, style & classy, or doesn’t matter as long as I look good:) Style and classy but for me comfort is within that it, if I’m not comfortable than I don’t feel stylish or classy.

  • Favorite shopping tip


Shop nordstroms, they get to know you and have free personal stylists who will pull items for you ahead of time and really make the best use of your time. They also will alert you to early sale events and pull sizes for you. Also, one or two store credit cards like say nordstorms or gap really give you bang for your buck and you spend less on what you are already having to buy, just be sure to pay off as you get each bill!!
Tell us a little more about yourself.

I’m a devoted wife, blessed to be a mother of three, have a master’s in counseling, taught dance for 23 years, love to volunteer in my children’s schools and at church, love to spend time with family and make cherished memories and traditions, love encouraging young ladies and women to take pride in their appearance and be proud of the their masterpiece that God created them to be and always reflect that in choices they make in fashion. Wearing clothes that flatter and reflect their style, personality, and letting their inner light and love show.
