• Why Are You Always Wearing a Dress?

  Sunday, October 19th, 2008

   
  This question has been asked of me countless times.  If you read my bio on this website, you’ll see that I was even asked this when I was a young girl and everyone was wearing jeans every day of their lives.
  I like pants and I like jeans, too.  And, I do wear them quite a [...]

• Why I DIY

  Sunday, October 19th, 2008

  From clothing to paintings to jewelry, I have done it all myself.  I was first inspired to paint when I realized I could not afford to purchase art that I liked for my apartment after college.   I have taken a couple of oil painting classes — and could definitely use more instruction — but deciding to [...]

• Thigh-High (or Over-the-Knee) Boots for Fall 2008

  Sunday, October 5th, 2008

   
  I have always loved thigh- high boots and own a couple of pairs already.  One pair I bought on sale from Neimans a couple of years ago – Christian Diors – that are fabulous, motorcycle/cowboy style boots with a great heel in a deep saddle color.  I was thrilled to find that Victoria’s Secret carries [...]

• Everyday Shoes and Boots for Fall 2008

  Sunday, October 5th, 2008

   
   
   
  My fall and winter shoe wardrobe is fairly substantial.  I have black boots, brown boots, low-heeled boots, high-heeled, thigh high and platform.  So, unless I need to replace an old pair or I happen upon something really fantastic, I try to save my money for other items.  I did in fact find a pair of [...]

• The Truth About The Way We Look and Feel

  Monday, September 29th, 2008

  What is wrong with the following statements?:
  “I spend all my money on my kids — there’s nothing that I need or want.”
  “I don’t care what I wear anymore and neither does anyone else.”
  “My husband (or wife) couldn’t care less what I wear or how I look.  He/She loves me for other, more important reasons.”
  “I never [...]

• Wardrobe Choices When Budgets are Tight

  Thursday, September 25th, 2008

  What’s important  for your wardrobe when budgets are tight?
  Choosing Correctly — this is the time when everything you buy should make sense for your needs.  You don’t want to make a lot of those “oops” purchases and you don’t want to overbuy the same unnecessary pieces that are forever hanging in your closet.

  Make certain that your [...]

• Bottega Veneta - Beautiful Clothing for Grown-Up Women

  Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

  I cannot praise Bottega Veneta’s fall 2008 line enough because each look that went down the runway and that I have been seeing in the fall fashion magazines as been so lovely, so elegant and so deceivingly simple looking.  It’s what a grown-up woman wants to wear.  If clothing can make someone look more intelligent, [...]

• I Still Love Theory for Fall 2008

  Thursday, September 4th, 2008

  I am seeing many great pieces from Theory this season.  Just simple, easy to wear dresses and sweaters, blouses and, of course, suits.  Theory is made to look good on a variety of women.  If you’re curvy on the bottom, check out their a-lines.  If you aren’t so big in the rear, their straighter silouhettes [...]
