How to Style _______

There’s something undeniably charming about blending comfort with romance — especially when the inspiration is Rococo. Picture it: soft pastels, delicate ruffles, and ornate details — but make it cozy enough for a nap. That’s the vibe we’re channeling today with a Ralph Lauren Wimbledon sweatshirt as our canvas. The challenge? A darling human who knows her style (think romantic, feminine, and a bit dreamy) requested: “Make this feminine… but also, it’s nap time.” So, we need pieces that balance comfort with ladylike touches, layers that add interest without sacrificing ease, and accessories that feel intentional yet relaxed. Final Thoughts: It’s All About What Feels Good Ultimately, the goal here is to blend comfort with a touch of Rococo magic. Have fun with your outfit, and don’t overthink it. Layer, experiment, and — most importantly — love what you’re wearing. After all, you’re the one who gets to feel fabulous (or take a nap) in it. Now go on, add that Rococo touch to your favorite sweatshirt and show the world that romantic style and cozy vibes can coexist beautifully. 📌 Pin This Step 1: Balance Cozy and Cute Comfy bottoms are key here. Try soft wide-leg trousers in pastel hues, knit skirts that skim the ankle, or even high-waisted lounge pants in a luxe fabric. The goal? Feel like yourself, but elevated — as if you’re channeling Marie Antoinette on a Sunday morning. 📌 Pin This Step 2: Shop Your Closet for Romantic Details Start by pulling out pieces that give a nod to old-world femininity. Think ruffled blouses, embroidered cardigans, or anything with a bit of lace or crochet. These are your layering heroes, adding texture and softness to balance the sporty edge of the sweatshirt. 📌 Pin This Step 3: Play with Patterns and Colors Don’t shy away from mixing prints. Floral leggings under an oversized sweatshirt, plaid skirts paired with a lacy tank — it’s all about creating unexpected pairings that feel intentional and a little decadent. If in doubt, stick to a color palette of soft pinks, creams, and muted blues.Don’t be afraid to mix it all! 📌 Pin This 📌 Pin This Look $15 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $45.46 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $45.46 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $20 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $19.97 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $79.9 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $328 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $150 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $150 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $36 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $253 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $253 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $239 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $215 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $180 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $28.67 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $650 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $650 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $650 Take me there

Pretty or Huh? This floral-embroidered midi is pure romance. Depending on your personality, you may want to cut the sweetness with some serious personality, lean into the details, go classic… Strictly speaking, etiquette leans toward fabric clutches (like satin or silk) for formal or garden party settings. Leather works too — just make sure it feels refined and seasonally appropriate. Beaded and embellished clutches also work. I also think you should just throw etiquette out the window and treat others the way you want to be treated. My personal pick? I love the French Fries and I’m sorry for making you cringe. Post polls comparing clutches you own to these clutches to see which “wins” if you’re not sure. No matter what you do, love it. 📌 Pin This These clutches are playful statement pieces. From french fry cartons to a retro boombox and a cupcake, they’re more conversation starters than classic accessories — perfect for adding a quirky twist to an elegant look. They’re also perfect for introverts because they’re conversation starters. 📌 Pin This These clutches are pure elegance with a touch of unexpected shine. From the quilted gold classic to the sculptural metallic statement and dreamy pastel satin, they strike that perfect balance of ladylike but modern. 📌 Pin This These clutches are like wearable bouquets — floral, ornate, and unapologetically romantic. They make a statement without losing their ladylike charm (French Fries I’m looking at you, even though you are my favorite). 📌 Pin This Look $995 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $5995 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $5995 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $1995 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $4995 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $4500 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $1750 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $2850 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $35.89 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $31.99 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $31.99 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $29.99 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $32.99 Take me there 📌 Pin This Look $33 Take me there

Not into tennis shoes? Or into tennis shoes during the day, only when necessary, but the kind of girl who wants polish, as often as possible? No problem. Your outfits should work harder for you than you did to buy those outfits, but usually we don’t require much of them. Just swap the sneakers for ballet flats, sandals, or a block heel when the sun goes down. Same base, different look.

Short answer: yes. And I do — often because of my very casual lifestyle in a very casual city. The casualization of American fashion? It’s a whole thing. Some call it a tragedy (hi, Tom Ford). Others find it liberating. Honestly, I’m both. I miss the glamour, but I also love being able to run through a full day — errands, schooling my boys (while they’re still shorter than me) in basketball before I go to tennis matches for older sisters, to early dinner — in tennis shoes without blinking or changing. The secret to making sneakers feel intentional? High-low balance. Think: an easy dress + sneakers + jewelry that’s uniquely you. Something with a little story — vintage (from your grandmother?), a charm bracelet that feels personal, a necklace you’ve worn forever, a signet ring that makes you smile, earrings you never take off. Keep the sneakers and jewelry on repeat, and just rotate the dress. It’s a real-life uniform that works hard without feeling tired. For these collages I was mindful of how expensive some of recommended tennis shoes & bags were, so none of the dresses are over $100 (Think Walmart, Old Navy, Abercrombie). Two are from Walmart and they fit beautifully and the fabric is easily as good as a dress that is over $500. Because I wear my sneakers constantly, I don’t mind spending a little more on them. The cost-per-wear always ends up lower, which is the kind of math I can get behind. Bonus: I don’t have to think too hard. And I like it that way. So where does the Adjust My Crown app fit into all of this — and how does it help you become the chicest version of yourself in less time than you’ve ever spent getting dressed? Use it to pre-shop smarter. You can post side-by-sides: things you already own next to the new item you’re considering orpit two new options against each other in a poll. Let your closet (and your community) weigh in before you commit. Once you do buy something new, style it every way you can while the dopamine is high and you’re still in love with it. Then save those looks in the app so they’re ready when you’re not feeling inspired. I know — you think you’ll remember all the ways you wore it. But trust me, it’s freeing to offload that mental clutter. In the morning, you can just scroll your collections, pick a fully styled outfit (accessories and all), and be out the door looking and feeling amazing in under a minute.
