I, along with five other featured bloggers, had the privilege of being photographed by Attilio D’Agostino for the story.  Attilio chose a street style theme for the shoot, so we hit the streets of downtown St. Louis in search of perfect locations for each of our images.  Here are a few photos I captured with my iPhone during the shoot.  Special thanks to fellow bloggers and 2013 best fashion blog award winners, Emily and Danica of Fox and Gypsy, for taking my picture during the shoot.

Economy of Style in Redbook Magazine

Guess what?  Economy of Style is in the May 2013 issue of Redbook magazine!  I’m so thrilled and honored!

My Violet and Hot Pink look was inspired by a spread that appeared in the March 2013 issue of Redbook and this outfit appears in the current issue of that magazine.  How exciting is that?  Get a glimpse below.

Thanks, Redbook, for the style inspiration and for including me!
