What Whitley Wants Vol. 7

Gigi, Isabelle, Rachel, Sophia… Oh my! Toooo many good girls on one page! Plus, I’ve never really been super exclusive… I got that whole mindset of abundance thing going on, ya know?

I always wear a left hand statement ring, even if it’s not cocktail attire, and everyone wants to know where they can find one! This Ulla Johnson is terrific for a dress OR jeans and tee moment, or really anything on this page. The giraffe on the RE/DONE tee is me, no matter how hard I try. I DID manage to nab the Isabel Marant velvet embroidered cropped jacket of dreams for a client, so if I’m really good, maybe she’ll let me borrow it! And the Gigi Burris hat? I used it for a recent editorial and naturally I want one for my very own! The Sophia Webster oversized butterfly embellished clutch ALWAYS, the Isabel Marant boots even if they ARE DOOK blue, and that modern day Alice in Wonderland meets Scooby Doo Zimmermann print dress on acid! Who am I kidding?? I want it all! Click on the images below to shop, and follow me HERE on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others.

Closet Covet

Well, this client is living her most stylish life during quarantine, and it is simply all too good NOT to have it’s very own Closet Covet collage! When I got a text image earlier this week from my client of her wearing her new MSGM acid neon tie neck floral dress from the over the counter aisle at a Dollar General somewhere in rural South Carolina, I about fell completely over and OUT. This is the way you do it people. Put your best foot forward, get up and GO! It is safe to say I would enter a back bin contest to have every one of these items in my own wardrobe, but in the meantime, since this client lives within running distance of my house, and I’ve been clocking some pretty decent speed work here lately at the track, she’s best off just locking the door and throwing away the key!!

Stepping Up Your Sneaker Game

If you live in the QC and you love fashion and you do not have any swanky sneakers, male or female, (eh hem, se moi?!) it is time to up your sneaker game.  Cool sneaks are ALL the rage.  It is virtually impossible to walk into a store without at least two sales associates and one customer donning the coolest, hippest pair of sneaks paired perfectly with their destroyed or 1980's styled denim and oversized sweater or haphazardly paired with a prairie dress and denim jacket.  Starting with the Creme de la Creme-see and be seen Golden Goose on over to Isabel Marant, Gucci, D.A.T.E, Ash and Dolce Vita, cool sneaks can be yours at any price point.  As an almost exclusive heel wearer, wanting to be sure I get my CPW return on investment, last summer I reached for a more accessible but every bit as equally fun pair by Dolce Vita. They are the perfect stylish addition to my wardrobe for photo shoot days where I need to be able to move quickly. 

In a few different muted shades, the Bobby suede wedge sneaker is a very versatile high top. 

I LOVE the Isabel Marant metallic and leather lightening bolt sneaker.

Paired with my favorite denim overalls, I styled these oh so fun sparkly red white and blue metallic Gucci sneakers in the upcoming issue of SouthPark Magazine. 

One of my uber chic clients owns this very aspirational pair by Valentino.

If I do decide to reach for the fancy schmancy style, I am almost certain it will be THIS pair... perfect for cheering on my Tar Heels in style.
