Well, North Texas is having a seasonal crisis….we went from sunny and 75 Christmas day, to horrific rains and tornadoes, and now it’s freezing with snow!? No wonder I’m coughing my fool-head off! I hoped to take the kids to the movie today, but I’m afraid someone might try to smother me just to make the coughing stop. Guess I’m forced to stay home in this snuggly wrap. #twistmyarm

Fashion has been a big part of this blog from the very beginning…in fact, I had an {Outfit Inspiration} post in my first week of blogging…but I beg you not to go back and look at it! Let’s just say I’ve learned a little in the past almost-six years!

I’m equally passionate about design and fashion, but the number of style posts have grown over the years as my interests evolved, and time restraints grew. Let’s face it, it’s a lot easier, quicker, and less expensive to get dressed, than to make over an entire room, or DIY a project!

More new style series have popped up over the years as I prefer my fashion posts to be helpful, as well as inspirational. Here’s a round-up of many of those from 2015…click the link under each image for all the posts in that category.

Good style doesn’t have to cost a fortune, so I scour the internet to find less expensive options for many of the current high-end trends.

Models on retailer’s websites and catalogs don’t really give a true depiction of an item, so I started trying on and sharing my top picks from my favorite stores…giving honest reviews and opinions, along with sizing tips and options for styling. With an occasional sidekick photobomb.
This monthly series has been going strong for a couple of years, with quick snaps of my everyday outfits I share on Facebook and Instagram using #SugarplumStyle.
I rarely, if ever, buy something for a specific event, with no plans of ever wearing it again. In order for something to come home with me, it needs to play double and triple duty…at least! This series shows how I make items work for both Day and Night.
It’s not always easy, but Mr. SP and I try to get out for occasional Date Nights…some fancy, but mostly casual. I’ve been sharing these posts for a few years, with our son behind the camera, but this year we ventured out with a professional photographer on occasion. It became a fun part of our Date Nights, and gave us a chance to share more of our city under the Big D and Dallas Eats categories. 
In effort to stretch my closet even further, I love making many items work for multiple seasons.

Same is true for making clothes adapt for both work and casual weekends. Many of you have asked for more work-appropriate fashion, so I’m planning more of these in the new year.

Building a stylish outfit every time is simple when you follow this basic Rule of Three principle.

The goal isn’t to have more clothes, but to create more options with the items you do have! And when you do shop, to add items that stretch your wardrobe even further! Do you enjoy the various style series? Which are your favorites? Anything you’d like to see more of in 2016?
