While many college students are preparing for summer pool parties and weekend trips to the lake, soon-to-be grads are preparing for the workforce.

Now is the time of year when the weather is terribly unpredictable.  It can be in the 40’s when your children leave for school and in the 60’s by the time you pick them up.  This can make dressing them each morning a bit of a challenge.  To make matters worse, it’s generally so warm in the schools that your children probably break a sweat just sitting at their desks.  So, how do you dress your child for this finicky weather?

So, you’re looking to update your fall wardrobe but don’t want to invest in a lot of new pieces.  One of the easiest ways to extend the life of some of your summer clothing is to add a pair of fabulous boots. 

You can take a summer dress, add tights, a cardigan and boots and suddenly it’s a beautiful fall outfit.  Or, perhaps you have an embellished tank top that you love.  Paired with jeans, boots and a fun wrap it’s still appropriate for fall.

Aside from reuniting with old friends, one thing about going back to school that children look forward to the most is picking a new outfit for the first day.  Your child wants to look cool.  You want her to look stylish but tasteful and be comfortable without spending a fortune on designer brands.

Guys have it easy when it comes to wardrobe essentials. That’s why it’s important to make those essentials the perfect fit. One must for all men is the suit. While buying a suit and wearing it off the rack may seem like the most logical solution for any event, tailoring and making your suit your own will ensure the best possible look and fit and instant style status. Here are some helpful hints for shopping and fitting a suit. 

Fall is my absolute favorite season when it comes to fashion.  I love the boots, the layering and all of the accessories.  Most of us could probably go wild purchasing new fall clothing.  In reality though, we need to pick and choose pieces that fit into our budget. 

Whether it’s spending the afternoon playing in the leaves with the kids or grabbing a hotdog at the local football game, it’s your job as a guy to be stylish, dapper and prepared for all weather. While you may sport some of these looks already, upgrading or adding variety to your style with mean looking awesome in autumn.

We’ve all been there, standing in front of our closets at a complete loss as to what to wear.  You are busy.  I understand that.  So, often you will just grab something easy to throw on and it usually isn’t even in your closet.  It’s draped over the back of a chair in your bedroom. 

Forget accessorizing, that requires much more effort.  Oh, and shoes.  Well, those flip flops are sitting by the back door and they go with everything, right?

Every guy’s closet is probably full of the classic standbys: jeans, t-shirts, a few belts. But when it comes to getting dressed for particular events, your guy’s wardrobe may be lacking the essentials that aren’t expensive or will go out of style anytime soon. We’ve gathered the must-have clothing and accessories every guy should have in his closet to be ready and stylish for every event. 

You’ve probably heard over and over that every woman needs a little black dress (LBD).  Well, I agree.  The black dress is appropriate for all sorts of occasions and events. 

You can dress it up or dress it down depending on your shoes and accessories.  It’s one easy piece that never goes out of style. 

There are times, however, when you want to stand out from the crowd and not feel like every other woman in the room.  By mixing and matching what you may already own, you can easily combine some different pieces to create simple, yet stunning alternatives.
