If you’re like me (and many of the clients I've styled recently), you’ve probably enjoyed your fair share of baked goods these past few months. There has been no shame in perfecting my banana bread game. If you can relate and have noticed a few extra pounds recently, you're not alone!

Staying stylish with the extra pounds can be challenging, and I'm here to help! It's important to feel comfortable in what you wear every day. There are definitely ways to highlight your curves in a flattering way, as opposed to hiding them altogether. Here are my tips on how to dress the Quarantine 15:

Step aside winter, it's beginning to look a lot like spring. It's time to store away the herringbones and plaids, and make room for this season's biggest pattern trend: polka dots.

While the timeless motif is nothing new, the graphic dot received a chic upgrade for spring. The polka dot made a strong showing at New York Fashion Week in a wide array of high-fashion interpretations. This season, we're seeing spots come in fresh color palettes, modern silhouettes, and bold graphic prints for a totally modern feel.

Since this spotty trend won't be slowing down anytime soon, we asked our stylists to share how they would take this spring trend from runway to everyday.

With less than a month until Fall equinox we are already thinking about bundling up into layers of gorgeous cashmere that are already arriving at Front Door Fashion!  Fall, for us fashion folk, is the most wonderful time of the year! It's the time for experimenting with layers and breaking out your favorite leather jacket. While we fashionistas are excited to dive into fall we reluctantly recognize that temperatures are still well into the 80s and 90s until October in some parts of the country (especially here in Texas). So, how do you dress for that awkward transitional season when shorts and sundresses no longer cut it but autumn temperatures haven't quite arrived? Don’t get ahead of yourself and pack away your summer-weight items just yet because you can still use them mixed in with layers. The key to dressing for transitional weather is to pair the summer pieces you already have with a few freshly classic fall items like a lightweight blouse, an oversized sweater, a statement jacket and a classic button up. To help you stay ahead of the curve, we've selected several early fall outfits along with styling tips so you'll be ready when temperatures drop. After all, it's better to be prepared with a few fall items ready in your closet than to be scrambling at the last minute! The time to starting buying key fall items is now!

There are myths that say you have to be a certain size or shape to wear white denim or that it should be worn only before Labor Day, but that's absolutely not true! White denim should be the workhorse of your spring and summer wardrobe. (And it's worth mentioning here that we believe in it as a year-round staple since the winter-white denim look is great in colder months.)  While it can be daunting and intimidating, choosing the right pair for your shape and the occasion is the secret to mastering this fashion staple. We've provided three examples to help you style the right pair for different occasions.

With the New Year finally settling in, work routines are back in full swing. It's easy to stick with the familiar when it comes to work attire, but our Front Door Fashion stylists are all about taking you to the next level. This means dressing for the job you want, not the one you have. This concept can be especially tricky to navigate in 2018 with a predominant individuality-embracing culture. We can all relate to the frustration of the phrase "work appropriate." The key is finding clothes that feel good, flatter, and fit into your office culture. Master your go-to look for the office, and step it up when asking for a promotion.  Jennifer Baumgartner, PsyD, author of You Are What You Wear says, "If you want a promotion, dress as if you already have it. What would a person with one wear?"  Dress for success with a selection of outfits handpicked by your stylist, and you'll be sitting pretty in the corner office in no time!
