I’ve received a noticeable uptick in styling questions the past few weeks — things like, “What shoes would you wear with those pants?” and “What tops would you wear with that skirt?” Today, sharing six sophisticated looks that will suit countless social/professional/personal engagements — everything from shopping dates to back-to-school nights to cocktails with colleagues. I gravitated in these outfit moodboards toward pieces that are easy to remix/rematch.

*This style launches today at 12 PM EST. Every time HHH does a new launch, I promise myself I need nothing, and yet…this particular pattern is SPECTACULAR! It reminds me of some of the spectacular Markarian textiles! I am torn between this dress (versatile, could pair with suede booties, ballet flats, heels, loafers…!) and the “going out set” in this same print, a pair of pants and a button down shirt. What shall I do?

Happy shopping!

P.S. When was the last time you surprised yourself?

P.P.S. A Magpie shared an inspiring piece of advice in response to my post on reframes: “You can start a new 24-hour cycle at any time.” Wow! What a galvanizing, reassuring concept. This reminded me in turn of another mental shift when it comes to measuring progress: sometimes it’s not helpful to measure in 24-hour increments. Sometimes we should be “pulling up” to evaluate progress every 48 hours, every week, every month!

P.P.P.S. On making it through the wild baby and toddler years. Wow.
