    Suede Shorts

    March 12, 2015fashion

    suede shorts

    OK, so it’s hard to believe it’s winter when we’ve had such amazing weather here in Sac, but in fact, it is winter for a few more days! Regardless of the season, my legs are a part of my body that rarely get cold, so with temperatures hitting the upper 70’s for the next several days, there’s no better time to show some leg in these suede shorts.

     Sweater and Shorts: Forever 21 (here’s a nice alternate)

    Shirt: Gap

    Boots: H&M

    Sunglasses: Old Navy

    Purse: Phillip Lim for Target

    Suede has been a hot runway trend for quite some time, and for good reason. It’s appropriate for every season.  Maybe you recognize these shorts from this post about the summer/fall transition. In addition to this burnt sienna color, be on the look out for suede in other earth tones, even pastels! And if shorts aren’t your thing,  try a suede shift dress and pair it with your choice of a cozy knit for extra coverage when the temp dips.

    TLG Tip: You know those plastic or cardboard boxes with sale merchandise that you probably walk past because it just looks like there’s a ball of shirts in there and it’s too much to deal with? Well, take a deep breath and dive in! There are deals to be had. I found this sweater for $10 and these shorts for $8 at Forever 21. At H&M, I found these all leather boots for $14. #getintoit

    #CoachingFromCancun is a thing. Well, it was two w #CoachingFromCancun is a thing. Well, it was two weeks ago! 👩🏾‍💻And I think we should go back (retreat anyone?). But let me tell you, while I mixed this time in during my week long vacation, being a digital nomad has been on my bucket list for a while. The “workcation” is real and I’m here to tell you, it doesn’t take away from the experience of unplugging and recharging. 

It’s a decision that I worked toward.

A decision that came from consistency, planning and a little bit of “what the heck?” The feeling of freedom that comes with a decision like that is fleeting. 

This is the kind of freedom and flexibility I promise to my clients.

The confidence and the clarity to build the business you want. 

Wanna work remotely in beautiful destinations? Awesome.

Wanna work only 20 hours a week and still be profitable? Let’s get the plan in motion.

Want to have a personal brand that opens doors that you didn’t even know were there? Yeah, they’re out there. Let’s find them!

The thing about it is — doing what everyone else is doing isn’t the path to get there. Blueprints are great and helpful, but it starts with the inner brand work as a creative professional!

Have you been wanting to explore what’s possible for your brand? I haven’t done this in a while, but I’m opening the books for three 1:1 strategy sessions before May wraps up. I feel the energy of possibility in the air and know you feel it, too. Let’s chat - send me a DM and I’ll share all the info.
