The Roost Rules

25 Style Rules We Break at The Ritzy Rooster

We grow up with so much noise in our heads. Fashion advice from our mothers and friends. Trends and tips hurled at us 24/7 in print ads and social posts. While some fashion choices may be dictated by job descriptions or cultural expectations, the truth is…

…. There is no fashion police. You can wear what you want, when you want.

 

 

#ConfidentChic

(For when you need to bring out the powerhouse in your wardrobe.)

 

Be Bold. Be You.

Stand out and let your style scream confidence. Don’t hide. You’re fierce and fabulous.

A Great Pair of Shoes is Your Power Move

Heels, boots, or even flats - your shoes have a job – to strut your stuff!

You Can Show Some Skin

A little shoulder, a little leg… give ‘em something to talk about.

Wear What Makes You Smile

When you feel good, you do good – and mama – this world needs you to show up loud and proud and ready to roar!

Confidence is Your Best Accessory

It’s the fiercest thing you can wear when you walk into a room alone.

 

 

#BoldChic

(For when you’re ready to step up, take risks, and make a statement.)

 

Don’t Be Afraid to Mix Prints, Textures, and Tastes

Floral and stripes? Velvet and leather? YES! If it feels right – do it boo!

Make Your Accessories Pop

Your jewelry, your bags, your scarves — make them part of your story.

Wear Red After Sunset

Red is never just for “special” occasions. Your mere presence is enough. Always.

Mixing Metals Is a Power Move

Gold, silver, bronze - when you mix them all, you make a bold, timeless statement.

Age is Just a Number

Count experiences not birthday candles. The first live forever, the last only minutes.

 

 

#OwnTheRoost

(For when you’re taking charge, breaking the rules, and strutting with purpose.)

 

You Don’t Have to Match

Who says everything has to be coordinated? Create your own mix and own it.

Dress for the Life You’re Living, Not the One You’ve Left Behind

Wear outfits that speak to where you are right now and where you’re headed.

Embrace the F- Word! Fashion, Fun, Fabulous

Life’s too short for boring wardrobes. Be playful, experiment, and have fun with your choices.

The Perfect Little Black Dress Is Your Secret Weapon

And you need an armory. A short and sassy one for day. A long blinged one for evening soirees. The LBD is your BFF – take her out often.

Sweatpants Are For Sweating Not Living

Dress up and show up for yourself. Every day  and every place is an occasion to look chic. Even a beautiful lounge set at home is worthy of the queen you are in the castle you built.

 

 

#TimelessChic

(For when you want style that transcends trends and leaves a lasting impression.)

 

White After Labor Day Is Not a Punishable Crime

White is timeless, not seasonal. Wear it anytime you want to feel elegant. Oh - and we'll share a secret - white around your face brings light. It’s a cheap “facelift” “anti-aging” fix you can treat yourself anytime.

Signature Pieces in Your Capsule Wardrobe Never Go Out of Style

A well-curated capsule wardrobe carries you through every season and stretches your budget for fashion finds and fund trends that add pop.

Ruffles Are for Grown-Ups Too

If your ruffles ruffle their feathers – quit their clique and find a new roost!

A Great Signature Scents Is Your Calling Card  

Big things come in little packages. One quality perfume can identify your style, elevate your attitude, and leave them in awe as you walk by.

You Don’t Need to Own a Little Black Dress

Put down the daggers! All we’re saying is if black isn’t your color or vibe, switch out your bestie for something in flaming red, lush green, or even sunny yellow. When you’re building something iconic, you can break the rules.

 

 

#StayChic

(For when you want to keep it effortless, elegant, and completely in control of your style.)

 

A Bold Lip is Always in Style

A great lipstick will always elevate your look. Wear it with grace, wear it with confidence.

Never Underestimate the Power of a Great Handbag

A beautifully crafted bag isn’t just functional. It’s a statement piece.

You Can Be a “Minimalist” with Color

One bold signature color can be just as impactful as a thousand patterns. Keep your style simple but keep it powerful.

Don’t Save Your Best Pieces for Later

My love, an encore is never guaranteed. Wear your most beautiful pieces today. Life’s too short to keep them tucked away.

 Wear What Makes You Feel Like Yourself

Your style should reflect the real you, not their opinion of you.
