We’re kicking off the month of March by celebrat

We’re kicking off the month of March by celebrating women! We have made such huge strides and broken barriers in all sectors (politics, science, medicine, technology, philanthropy and business) yet there are still disparities and inequalities we experience every single day.
⚪️ America has its first women Vice President yet women are still under represented at all levels of political leadership. 𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝, 𝟐𝟑.𝟕% 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬.
⚪️ In the US, women make 85 percent of what men earn. They’d have to work an extra 40 days a year to make as much as men. 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝟏𝟗 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫, 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫. That number is even steeper for Hispanic women.

The work is not done. How can we help with the advancement of girls’ and women’s equality and equity? I’ll be sharing some resources in stories today.

New York is not canceled! It never was and it neve

New York is not canceled! It never was and it never will be. Despite the doom and gloom we hear on the news about our great city, those of us who live here are still LIVING our lives. We still have the arts, great restaurants (even if they’re at limited capacity) and our entertainment venues are soon to open again (HELLO BROADWAY!)
It’s also good news for all my fellow Pandemic Brides that plan on getting married in New York City this spring. Governor Cuomo has greenlit wedding venues to allow ceremonies (with limited capacity and some new rules).
Last night I attended the KAWS What Party Exhibit opening night at the @brooklynmuseum and it was such a delight. The museum did such a fab job with timed tickets to reduce crowding and to allow each guest to really enjoy their time there.
I felt so energized and even more creative after exploring Brian Donnelly’s work. I’m inspired to wear even more prints, more color and live boldly.
The exhibit runs through September 5 so if you live here or plan on visiting, book your tickets to check it out. You won’t be disappointed.
Have you resumed some of your favorite pastimes since quarantine rules started getting lifted? Are you ready to eat indoors? #nycforever #newyork #newyorkcity #brooklyn

Happy Monday! Thank you so much for taking part in

Happy Monday! Thank you so much for taking part in the closet sale over the weekend. I wanted to wrap up with another one yesterday but I got overwhelmed with over 40 items that need to be packed and shipped today.
I promise I’m going to do another closet sale next month after I re-organize my closet for winter/spring transition.
I’m looking forward to transitioning some of my holiday pieces into spring, including this @jcrew skirt, currently on sale and also available in green. It goes up to size XXL and perfect for a festive spring look.
I would probably style this with a white button down or a square neck blouson come spring.
Do you wear your clothes year round or do you separate by season?
P.S. I miss Texas 🥰
