Real (approachable) Style Advice for Real (grown-up) Women with 
Real (smart) Budgets
 
August 9, 2026
 
Hello friends!
 
Coming off another fabulous weather weekend here in Newport. All this gorgeous summer weather has (almost) made me forget the awful spring weather I complained about weekly. ;)
 
Yesterday we took a day trip to Block Island with a fun crew of friends. It’s an easy hour-long ferry ride from Newport, and we spent the day at a beach club with great live music from an amazing Rolling Stones cover band. Pretty hard to complain about that kind of Saturday!
 
Today is looking like another great beach day, or we may get out on the paddle boards in the harbor.
 
I hope this finds you doing well and having some fun this weekend, too.

This week’s Style Problem Solved: If you’re officially sick of your summer clothes, this week’s Reel is for you.
 
I shared 3 easy ways to get out of the rut, starting with what you already own.
 
Nothing fussy, nothing too hot, and no emergency shopping required.
 
Watch it here, then shop your own closet before you shop mine. 😉
 
🍂 Coming Later This Month...

One of my favorite parts of August is putting together the Fall Style System.
 
It's my favorite season to style, and this year I found myself thinking less about clothes (which are amazing, btw)...and more about the #justgetdressed habit.
 
Because getting dressed is something we have to do anyway.
So why not use it as a tool for a better day?
 
That simple idea has shaped every update I've made to this year's Fall Style System. It's designed to help you shop with purpose, know what you're wearing tomorrow, and build the #justgetdressed habit, one day at a time.
 
It launches later this month, and I'd love for you to be the first to know when it's ready.

This Week’s Find:  Alternatives to My Premium Matching Set
 
Love the look of a matching linen set—but not the price?
I’ve shared my favorite blue linen set before, and every time I wear it, I get questions about it—and requests for a more budget-friendly version.
 
So this week’s Smart Find is exactly that. 👉🏼
 
These affordable, high-quality linen separates let you create the same easy, pulled-together look without spending nearly as much.
 
And I especially love this French blue. It’s gorgeous, incredibly wearable, and a softer shade of blue that can be very flattering on a lot of women.
 
Even better, you don’t have to buy one predetermined “set.” There are different pants, skirts and top styles, so you can choose the combination that works best for your body, your lifestyle and your taste.
 
Wear the pieces together for that easy monochromatic look—or separately with the everyday basics already in your closet.
 
 
 

 
That's it for today!  Thanks for being here. 
Have a great week ahead, and remember to #justgetdressed. ✅👍🏼
