Real (approachable) Style Advice for Real (grown-up) Women with 

Real (smart) Budgets

Dear First name / friend,

Well, after weeks of me whining and complaining about the weather, it appears someone upstairs finally listened because it has been absolutely gorgeous lately—and the forecast for the week ahead looks pretty great too. I don’t want to jinx it, but I’m feeling optimistic.

 

The season is officially in full swing here in Newport, and I love it. The visitors are back, the restaurants are buzzing, and there’s a great energy in the air. (As long as I’m walking or biking, that is. We do our best to stay out of our cars on weekends this time of year. 😄)

 

Over the years, I’ve put together a notes document with my favorite Newport restaurants, activities, beaches, and recommendations. If you’re planning a visit, just hit reply and I’ll be happy to send it along.

 

Now, here’s what went on at B.Styled this week…

Raise your hand if you wore these non-stop in the early 90?s 🙌🏼 
I took a poll on IG and it was about 95% yes and 5% no, so you aren't alone! 

Some stylists say black sandals/shoe are always a no, but I disagree. I think they can look very chic and can be a great choice for some outfits. The key is the style of sandal, and taking into account the rest of the outfit. 

 

So, before automatically reaching for black sandals, here are a few things to consider—and some easy ways to make them work.

No guessing. No endless scrolling. Just practical guidance designed to help you get dressed faster with simple outfit guidance that works in real life.

Summer Foot Saver

I discovered this before a wedding last weekend and honestly didn’t expect much. I rubbed it on the spots where my shoes typically cause friction, and it completely saved my feet.

 

Now I’ve started using it before wearing sandals when I’m walking around town, and it’s been a game changer. I keep it in my bag at all times now. 

 

✅ Helps prevent blisters before they start
✅ Works with sandals, heels, sneakers, and boots
✅ Small enough to keep in your purse or travel bag

 

I wish I had known about this stuff years ago! And now you know about it too. 👍🏼 

Cheers! 

That's it for today!  Thanks for being here. 

Have a great week ahead, and remember to #justgetdressed. ✅👍🏼
