south florida shopping + style expert
a note from dionne:
Budget and luxury often don’t go hand-in-hand, but in my world they do.
I graduated from my Master’s program in 2009 and with my degree came student loan debt. Needing to maintain a professional wardrobe, I turned to thrift stores, consignment boutiques and outlet malls for my fill of luxury goods and haven’t looked back since.
You don’t have to jump on the latest trend or social media soundbite in order to curate a beautiful wardrobe. Most of the time, you already own everything you need in order to create a look that’s authentically you.
My expectation is that as you peruse this site, you will be inspired and educated to make shopping decisions in line with YOUR budget. Again, it doesn’t take much to create a style all your own.
In style…Dionne
shop my closet
My wardrobe is a mix of vintage, outlet, luxury and a whole lotta thrift. It’s a challenge when people ask where or when I purchased an item I’m wearing because oftentimes it’s been in my closet waiting for years for its moment in the sun LOL I have, however, worked out a system for sharing the items I’m wearing, if not pieces very similar…check out the link below.

I’ve put together this lookbook for women like me who have too many clothes and are constantly on the lookout for new styling options. If you’re looking to inject a little life into your old, but barely worn wardrobe, utilize this resource of over 100 of my favorite looks as inspiration.
MY INTENT IS that you fall in love with pieces that you already own and if you need to add a few FIRE pieces along the way, that’s fine. At least you’re not bringing another dozen items that’ll be shoved to the back of your closet!
