out of the blue

It's the color of the sea, sky, and our
favorite jeans...this spring and summer, we
are seeing it absolutely
everywhere.
Which is just fine with
O N E
G I R L.

Here are 6 ways to wear and live with it well.



1.
s t r i p e s
Blue and white stripes have been
around forever and are not going
anywhere.

f u r n i t u r e
Blue works as a neutral for furnishings as well.
(HA!)

I'm loving how we can get away with distressed
jeans with anything and still be fashionable.



So many shades of flirty blue.

We interrupt this blog post with
a reminder that all the cool kids
are wearing their jackets around their
shoulders like this.

Lovin this juicy flavor of raspberry blue.

Can you imagine art without
blue paint????

5. 
b r i g h t  c o b a l t
It looks especially awesome
on blondes, when it pops.

6.
i s l a n d  c h i c
Just TRY to tell me blue is not a powerful hue.

Love!

 


 Do you agree?
Isn't blue the most relaxing, dreamy, friendly
color in the universe?

Drop by
One Girl
soon
to
compare notes
about
blue.

And don't forget to join us for a girl's night
out this Thursday at 6:00!



Peace.

for the mamas

Being a mom is

having your heart

cracked wide open.

It is to never again sleep soundly

or wonder what it means to be

sick with worry.

It is the sweetest sorrow I know.

Also the deepest joy.

One Girl celebrates you today, mamas.

We stand with you in all the challenges

and triumphs you meet on your journey.

Thank you for all those little things you do

that no one ever acknowledges.

Those things are not small things.

They have always mattered.

Thank you for believing.

For seeing the good.

Because of you,

we know what it means

to feel cherished.

Thanks, moms.

magic happens

Say what you will about trends and fashion which
may come and go, but wanna know what
O N E  G I R L
loves about it?



Expressing yourself with fashion is an artistic exercise in FUN.




The rules and 'you can't do thats' cropping up in daily life
sort of get balanced out when you can wear roses,
a braided headband, and two-tone lip color.

You're such a renegade, you!



And here's the kicker:
nobody gets hurt.
In fact, on a good day when your personal
style choices engage someone else
and the two of you get to chatting...



Things could PING!
They could perhaps PONG!
Fuchsia pink bougainvillea could suddenly
burst into bloom all around you.
Just because.
Of that sweater. With those shorts.




It seems to One Girl,
'Fake it till you make it' 
applies big time
to fashion
because let's face it:
you're not always
in a great mood
when it's time to
get dressed
to face the day.




Clothing and accessories work voodoo with moods though!
You start out faking, but before you know it,
you are MAKING.
And MAKING is good.
MAKING looks nice on you.



I know, I know, again with the braidlicious boho hair.
Isn't it swell?
And isn't the lip color just crazybeautiful and maybe even
m  a  g  i  c?

It is almost May, and do you think it's just
a coincidence that the month begins with the same
letter as
the M word?



'Cause ONE GIRL doesn't.
You have the power to make May magical.
Not by passively watching it slip into June.
But by embracing it with every positive
fiber in your being.



That's when the magic will come.
Your outfits will encourage the magic.
Your self-confidence will invite more magic.
At the very least, when your clothes make you
feel cute, you are likely to cast a spell.






Happy spring and pre-summer, friends!
We hope you will push yourselves
to discover all of the magic
within and allow
ONE GIRL
to ride the wave with you.

Peace.

color me bold

O n e  G i r l
is
feelin' inspired by
bold and sassy
COLOR
today.

We love neutrals. We do.
They are chic.
They work so well for the everyday.
They make our wardrobe uber flexible.
But.
They can often lack fun factor.

F.U.N.
Remember fun?

Yes, it's too early to be showing you short shorts.
But after amazing weather in the midwest over the weekend,
I'm thinking: LET'S JUST CALL THIS PRE-SUMMER!

Look no further than nature all around you
for inspiring fun boldlicious color
that makes you feel ALIVE.



Speaking of feeling alive,
when was the last time you worked up a sweat?
'Cause if it has been a while, I highly
recommend you stop in at OG to chat
about simple ways you can
improve your health
and change
your
body.



Bold color can often boost your mood.

It serves such a cool purpose in nature.

And often reflects confidence.
(So why not start with a colorful
piece of clothing and see
where it leads you?)

Electric colors that were so popular in the 80s
are still going strong.





But it's not the matchy matchy neons that were so glam back then.
It is definitely more about mixing it up.

Can every body type get away with super skinny
candy pink jeans? 

It depends!
As long as you layer with a sleek silhouette in mind,
skinny jeans are your friend whether you're curvy
or built boyishly chic.

Accessories are the easiest way for you to
make a bold color statement.

And wearing just one bold color with no accessories
at all can be a powerful thing:

 ooooh this is so one girl chic!

Give yourself permission to go forth boldly.

Don't feel forced to buy all
brown and black and boring when
there is a colorful rainbow
of hues out there
which would look
pretty dang awesome
on you.

Have a wonderful week,
and please stop by
for more OG
inspiration!

Peace.
