Grechen’s Closet love

Posted by Ketura

Grechen (Grechen's Closet)

I just checked in with a blog I used to read religiously and was reminded why I like it so much (and why I’ll be getting myself in the habit of checking it first thing every morning, just like I do Huffington Post and WhatIWore). The first thing about this blog, Grechens Closet, is that the blogger, Grechen, is super nice! There’s a real, actual person behind that big website and she’s generous with her thoughts, advice and comments in a geniune way.

The other reason is her eye for color. Her blog may have been the first one where I saw the kind of unmatched pairing of colors in a way that I have always been drawn to and have in the past years taught my clients to appreciate and do for themselves.

Her post today, a review of a Vogel10 dress, is a perfect example of simple clothes with great details, complemented by fantastic handbags and shoes.

(Oh, I do have one little quibble with Grechen. It’s her fault that I’ve developed my little addiction to Virginia Johnson shawls! I first saw them on her site when she wrote about how much she loved them, and I tried one, and then I was hooked!)

By the way, Grechen talks about her site as a shopping and not fashion site. You can check it regularly for great coupons and deals, like the one she has on that great Vogel10 dress.

What’s YOUR first-thing-in-the-morning read? Is it news or fashion or something else entirely?

(Ketura Persellin is an image consultant in Washington, DC, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and northern Virginia. She loves reading fashion and shopping blogs and for most of the next six months will be found wrapped in a Virginia Johnson shawl.)
