On March 9th, we were in for a memorable evening of mingling and style at Blake Glenn Joseph’s Wardrobe Weekend, held at the elegant Clayton. This inaugural event marked the beginning of what promises to be a regular gathering, aimed at bringing together Denver’s local style community. With a focus on fostering connections and supporting a worthy cause, Dress for Success Denver, the evening unfolded as a celebration of fashion and camaraderie.

As I entered the refined atmosphere of the Clayton, I was greeted by an ambiance buzzing with excitement and anticipation. The space was alive with the chatter of fashionable friends, each conversation a testament to the vibrant spirit of Denver’s style scene.

Back in 2008, my journey intersected with a force of nature on the dance floor – Sahar, a designer, author, and speaker, whose vibrant soul and boldness have left an indelible mark on our fashion community. Little did I know that our paths would intertwine in ways that would define the essence of friendship and resilience. Fashion, music, sharing our passions for creating our paths and diving into life was our glue!

Fast forward to 2014 when Sahar and I embarked on a speaking tour together.

Embrace the Chill: A Guide to Staying Stylish in Winter

As the temperature drops and snowflakes begin to dance in the crisp winter air, it’s time to revamp our wardrobes and embrace the season with style. While the cold weather may pose a challenge, it also offers the perfect opportunity to showcase your fashion prowess. In this guide, we’ll explore some key tips to help you stay warm without compromising on style this winter.

Layering is Key:

The cornerstone of winter fashion is undoubtedly layering. Not only does it keep you warm, but it also allows you to experiment with textures, colors, and patterns. Start with a lightweight base layer, add a cozy sweater, and top it off with a chic coat or jacket. Don’t forget to play with contrasting lengths and materials to create a dynamic and visually appealing ensemble.

Elevate Your Outerwear:

Your coat or jacket is the first thing people notice during the winter months, so make it count. Invest in a stylish, high-quality coat that not only complements your personal style but also provides ample warmth. Statement coats, such as a classic trench or a faux fur number, can instantly elevate your look and make you stand out in the sea of winter fashion.
