I help you find the perfect fit, on my blog โฌ‡๏ธ

Hi! I'm Nipa, midlife fashion blogger (former desi Hi! I'm Nipa, midlife fashion blogger (former designer and product manager). 

I'm the friend that turns that blouse inside out and checks the tag so you don't buy anything that requires the kind of care you don't have time for. 

I also don't let you get caught in a cycle of buying fast fashion - shoving it in the back of your closet - and buying more. 

My goal is to help you curate a wardrobe that you feel good about.

So I've always wanted a pair of Stuart Weitzman sh So I've always wanted a pair of Stuart Weitzman shoes but couldn't justify the price tag.  Until I found these marked down to a fraction of the original price. 

And they may just be my favorite summer sandals.  They're so comfortable that when I wore them to a gala last week, I forgot I was wearing heels. 

They're come in black and blue too.  And yes, wedges are back in style (thank goodness, I never gave them up). 

Are you team wedge, team kitten heels or team flats?

Don't get me wrong, I love linen, but sometimes yo Don't get me wrong, I love linen, but sometimes you just want to look less wrinkled and more polished, even in a casual outfit. 

Say hello to cotton poplin, the fabric you probably already have (in your favorite button up shirt) but haven't given much thought to. 

It's appearing this summer in tops, skirts, pants, dresses and shorts. 

(If you have a bunch of poly chiffon blouses or a drawer full of leggings from five years ago, you know that fabric trends just like styles do). 

Want to see all the trending styles in cotton poplin (and why it's such an easy fabric to wear and care for)? Comment BLOG and I'll send you the post.

Every year, when shorts season rolls around, I loo Every year, when shorts season rolls around, I look at my dry knees and pale "textured" legs and realize that they need a little TLC before I'm ready to show them to the world. 

So in the meantime, I've been wearing this outfit formula a lot: 

Cotton Tee + Midi Skirt + Sandals 

This skirt is made in a very light ramie (a natural fiber) and the pointelle tee is fitted without being clingy. 

Both are currently on sale, so let me know if you'd like the details.

P.S.  Share this with someone who wants a modest outfit for summer.

If you missed the huge LOFT sale, don't worry, the If you missed the huge LOFT sale, don't worry, these vacation-ready dresses, tops and skirts are still marked down. 

(Comment SHOP and I'll save you the time it takes to go through their giant collection ๐Ÿ˜‰) 

I'm just under 5'4" but find that the regular XS fits me better than the petite sizing, but they have a pretty amazing petite collection, too. 

Which one is your favorite? 

I'm deciding between the green-white floral and the black striped dresses.  Both 100% cotton and so comfy...

Five years ago, I started replacing my everyday cl Five years ago, I started replacing my everyday clothes with elevated basics, and it's made my outfits feel much more special. 

What are elevated basics? They're closet staples that have that extra design element or fabric that makes them different. 

Like a white denim jacket that is cropped and collarless, and has an interesting vertical seam details. 

It makes a basic jeans and t-shirt outfit a little more interesting. 

What's in your closet? Elevated basics? Trends? High and low pieces? Or all of the above?!

Remember this dress? I bought it for a wedding, wh Remember this dress? I bought it for a wedding, which turned out to be a more casual event, so I returned it. 

And then y'all persuaded me to buy it again! 

Then I realized that it was the perfect dress for the Dress To Impress Gala, a wonderful fundraiser for @uncommonthreadsboutique. 

(More about the gala in Stories) 

And, if you're looking for some comfy but chic wedges, I found these @stuartweitzman one marked down significantly! Comment SHOP if you'd like the link.  They were perfect for a night out!
