Color for me as easy as 1-2-3
Today Color My Closet was featured on Houston's daily TV show Great Day Houston. We discussed how adding color to your wardrobe really makes a 10 pound, 10 year difference.See video link below:
http://www.khou.com/greatday/video/?nvid=384509&shu=1
What we forgot to mention were the top 3 tips for adding color to your closet. Please see below for our easy, breezy top 3 tips:
1) Reconsider your neutrals. Black and white are not your only choices. Some women look better in soft whites or creams, greys and taupes, and deep brown, navy or charcoal.
2) Begin by adding only 2 to 3 colors to your wardrobe. That way you won't feel overwhelmed. What colors will you choose? It is best to look to colors that you've always been complimented on.
3) Follow our 2-1 rule: use 2 colors & 1 neutral together, or 2 neutrals & 1 color.

The jumpsuit: too trendy or just right?
The above image is one of yours truly---yes, it is I! After loving the black jumpsuits I saw in magazines, I decided to buy one for myself. It is touted as the latest trend, but I see it as something with staying power.
For me, here's how I made the jumpsuit work:
1) Resist temptation to overaccessorize--I adore tons of accessories, but the jumpsuit is statement enough. I kept earrings very small, put on a fedora for some sass, and used two long necklaces to break up the solid line of the jumpsuit.
2) Nip in the waist with a belt
3) Create some height with my 4 1/2 inch platform sandals
4) Walk like I own the world
5) Resist my obvious urge to add lots of color to the look (it's rare for me, the Color Ambassador, to walk out of the house without color)
6) Smile a lot because I'm right on trend!
Moving into the fall I will continue to use my jumpsuit by pairing it with a jacket of some sort, or a cardiwrap. This is a versatile piece, and I like that it can be dressed up or down.

Choosing the Right White TV segment on ABC's Mirror Mirror

Calling all fashionistas to online bargains!
This blog post has been written by my intern, Cassandra Latawiec. Check it out!
A few months back, Lauren introduced you to Shop It To Me and it’s fabulous to know that such fine labels can now come at more affordable prices! Now, as one of Lauren’s new interns I would like to share with you a few shopping secrets of my own.
For about a year now I have been a devoted member of Gilt.com and personally have been able to enjoy clothes by Marc Jacobs for a reasonable price. Now ladies, that’s impressive in itself for I am living on a college student’s budget! Yes, you have to sign up to get access to the wonderful deals, but it only takes a few moments of your time to create an account.
What is nice about Gilt is that it offers designer clothes, accessories and home furnishings for men, women and children. A new sale begins everyday at 12 eastern and 11 central, but beware, often times I have seen merchandise sell out within minutes on the floor. Be ready to click and seal the deal by planning out designer sales in advance! Just so you can get a better idea of what this site has to offer, this week Gilt is offering sales with Seven For All Man Kind, Chloe, and Tory Burch.
There are a few other sites like Gilt that my girlfriends are members of, and they have kindly shared their little secrets with me to share to you all as well! There are also Hautelook.com and Billiondollarbabes.com. Both sites follow the same concept as Gilt.
So please, go out and spread the word to all of your girls and enjoy a Marc Jacobs special. I know I have!
