What I Wore: Dresses for Days

April 4, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., Fashion

Recently, I have been thinking a lot about that quote “you have to dress for the position you want” or how ever it goes. Next week, I have a few big business things happening, and I realized that I didn’t really have any professional clothes that make me feel confident. While I have an ample amount of v-necks and jeans, other than a plain pair of black slacks and DVF rip-off wrap dress, I don’t have fashionable pieces for meetings, events, speaking gigs.

So, last weekend, I decided to change that, by taking a little trip to the mall. Nothing

What I Wore: Mix & Match

March 30, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., Fashion

This is probably one of my most favorite outfits that I own. I LOVE, LOVE mixing prints, but it does take a certain amount of skill to make sure you don’t leave the house looking like you got dressed in the dark. You can easily elevate the fashion-factor (is that even a phrase?) of an outfit when you combine some good patterns.

Through trial and error (yes, some major fashion faux pas), I have learned a few things about mixing and matching. Here are ways to make it work:

1) Wear two different prints that have the same color, like

What I Wore: Orange + Blue

March 18, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., Fashion

When it comes to clothes, I usually stick to a pretty neutral color palette. However, I am pretty much obsessed with a good orange + blue combo. In the same day, I bought this sweater from Gap (on super sale!), and a skirt with the same hues.

I love this outfit. I am almost sad that it is getting warmer because I probably won’t be able to wear it again any time soon.

I have recently really started to love

Where I Shopped: Teysha

March 13, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., Fashion, Lifestyle

So earlier this week, I went to check out the new Teysha store on S. 1st. If you aren’t familiar with the brand, you really should be.

While traveling the world, co-founders, Sophie and Travis, saw the damaging impacts of poverty and deforestation. They believed that social entrepreneurship, conscious capitalism, and micro-finance were the most effective tools to empower people.

Thus, Teysha was born to help give artisans around the world more opportunity. The artists make beautiful, hand-crafted belts, shoes and hats.

Sophie and Travis explain, “By joining our mission, you are helping to create a world in

Three Things I Wish I Had Known in My 20’s: Maura Horton

March 11, 2014 by Rebekah in 3 Things, Fashion, Lifestyle

After her husband was fired from his job as a college football coach because he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, Maura Horton started a fashion business out of her home. Her company, MagnaReady, makes dress shirts for men and women that are held closed with magnets so people with arthritis, Parkinson’s or other mobility-limiting conditions can dress without help.

I really admire Maura because she was able to turn a challenging life event into

What I Wore: LBD

March 2, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., Fashion

Happy Sunday!

I hope the weather is better where ever you are. After a few splendid days of sunshine in Austin, it is back to being rainy and cold. BUMMER. However, the good news is I can wear all of the sweaters that I have been purchasing at end of season sales. It is definitely a good day to stay in bed, and write blog posts!

I didn’t know I was on a mission to find the perfect LBD, until I saw this one. It was love at first sight! I now understand why

What I Wore: Plaid

February 25, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., Fashion

Haha if you haven’t noticed, the titles to my posts are always very uncreative. I don’t know, but I have a hard time coming up with cutesy titles, so I just pick something super literal. I mean, at least you know what the post is going to be about.

So yes, in this post I am wearing a plaid shirt. This shirt is another one of those thrift store finds that has proven to be a great purchase. It is a men’s Ralph Lauren shirt that I scored for under $5 at Goodwill, and I wear it all the time

What I Wore: Leather Pants

February 17, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., Fashion

If I could wear leather pants and 4 inch heels everyday, would I? Most definitely. However, the reality is, sometimes I need to actually function in the clothes I am wearing.

So, I wore this outfit last Monday because I needed a major pick me up after my vacay. Yes, going back to work can be a major buzz kill! If only, I could live a jet set life…Joking, joking. I am pretty happy to be back at work because I have some exciting things going on. I can’t wait to share them later in the year!

What I Wore: London Edition

February 9, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., Fashion

I travel a fair amount, but I am still the world’s worst packer. I always seem to bring too much stuff. Yet, once I arrive at my destination, I hate everything that I have packed. Does this happen to anyone else?!?!

This trip was no exception. When I checked in at the airport to go to London, my bag was overweight (even though I seriously tried SO SO hard to pack “light”). I had to stuff a bunch of my clothes into my carry-ons. This is pretty much a typical situation whenever I travel. I swear, I am trying to
