It’s about way more than clothes

These pass couple of years have been really hard for me. Becoming a mother has brought on emotions and questions I never even knew I had and has turned me completely on my head! I think there are different times or experiences in peoples lives when their world is shaken and all of a sudden life is not as it once seemed. This was it for me. I lovingly refer to it as “my deep dark hole”. I can joke about it now because I’m on my way out. Thank you, Lord! I was having breakfast with one of my besties when she casually told me about this TED talk. Little did she know it would catapult me out of my “deep dark hole”. This was the best gift I received this year and I haven’t even opened my presents -ha! I watched it from my phone with my headphones on as my husband slept next to me. He didn’t even wake up when I started bawling my eyes out half way through the talk. It’s a good thing I wasn’t in the auditorium -ha! I thought I’d share this gift with you guys, because, as I always say when asked about C. Style, it’s about way more than just clothes.

I realize this may be a little too mushy for some. Even if just one of you listens to it and it means even a 5th of what it meant to me, then I am happy. Now, as I hit publish, I’ll have to remind myself that being vulnerable does NOT mean I am weak.

This was her first talk which was equally as good:

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas! I’ll be taking a break from the blog until the New Year. Love to you all.

Everyday Outfits: Unlikely Combinations Edition

For some reason, I've been finding it really hard to come up with "everyday outfits" lately. Ok, so maybe I was just having one of those weeks that comes every month -ha! Anyway, I was getting so frustrated that I took the time and shopped my closet like I do for my clients. It was fun and it got ... Read More

Black Tie

I might be a total loser for admitting this, but I actually get excited when I get an invitation to a black tie event. Especially when the invitation is from a good friend! But here's the thing, it's so hard to find a black tie dress! My friend said it best the other night, you don't want your ... Read More

Casual Holiday Outfit Inspiration

I thought I would do a quick, casual holiday outfit inspiration post.... How about black leather leggings or black skinny jeans and animal print flats?  I paired it with a tan sweater, but I can see it going just as well with a cream sweater, cream silk blouse or even a vibrant color shirt, ...

My Wish List

My family has been asking, "Carly, what do you want for Christmas?". "Huh?! Oh,....ummmmmmmm (thinking to myself I have no idea), I'll get back to you about that." After spending time coming up with gift ideas for the kiddos and the hubs, I hadn't had a chance to look for myself. Then I thought, ... Read More
