Dopamine Dressing 101 🤩

FROM THE EDITOR Hey Reader, This week's article focuses on dopamine dressing–a buzz word for what we do every day on What Is She Wearing: dressing in clothes that make us feel amazing.

That may translate to a tailored outfit for your new job, grocery shopping while dressed to the nines, or wearing the...

Best Dressed Wedding Guest 💃🏽

FROM THE EDITOR Hey Reader, The heat has finally hit in my area, and once it does, that signifies an end to my denim outfits for the next few months (aside from a few chilly evenings I'll spend outdoors).What replaces my denim are, of course, linen pants! For me, they're the elevated comfy version of loungewear. 😎 While I love styling my pants with a matching, tonal, or contrasting linen shirt and ribbed tank, I’m making things a bit more interesting this year. Instead I’ll be styling with an...

5 Timeless Essentials For Your Dream Closet ✨

FROM THE EDITOR Hey Style Lovers, As I was writing this week's article on timeless essentials for every wardrobe, I really started thinking. What makes something timeless? Is it the ability to never age, or is it the ability to adapt and refresh in every season? I'm thinking the latter. The LBD is a timeless piece–not because we're wearing the same style Coco Chanel introduced 100 years ago–more so because of it's versatility in one's wardrobe and it's adaptability to different silhouettes...

Chic Outfit Formulas Revealed!

FROM THE EDITOR Hey Reader, Let’s talk butter yellow—the summer color lighting up fashion feeds. Some are trashing it, others are scooping it up, but me?

Here’s my move: I check my wardrobe and seasonal color palette to see if butter yellow fits. Jackpot—I’ve got a chic Tory Burch shirt dress I snagged on clearance years ago (score!).

Fashion Mistakes I Won't Repeat...

FROM THE EDITOR Hi Dear Reader, This week's article was inspired by a recent conversation I had with some friends. The discussion was around the psychological reasoning behind why we dress the way we do. Depending on the person and their journey, it will be different for each. But, there are often underlying similarities that strike at the core. I keep mentioning how my style is going through somewhat of a renaissance in the past year. Despite sounding like a broken record, I feel many are...

Mix Patterns Like a Pro 👑

FROM THE EDITOR Hi Reader, Alas, tulip season’s finally here, a bit late but blooming with style! Spring’s all about unique layers, but with temps hitting the low 80s (27C), my cute jackets are taking a breather. I’m leaning into lighter fabrics—no sandals yet, though! My unofficial fashion rule keeps me from a full summer aesthetic until Memorial Day, so I can actually get wear out of my spring outfits. My body runs cold, and I vibe with this Paris TikToker who says French women stick to the...

From Interview to CEO: Outfit Inspiration ✨

FROM THE EDITOR Hey Reader, If you've been following social media, you know the fashion world has become quite controversial. It seems just about every "group" is the target of a shame campaign—from influencers to lovers of ultra-fast fashion and even to capsule wardrobe minimalists. It's times like these that I take a step back to pause and reflect. Honestly, I've walked in the shoes of each of these "groups" at one point in my life or another. No matter how stylish I think I am, I'm also...
