  • 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 [...]

    Here’s a listing of some websites that I’ve enjoyed recently.  I have not made purchases at all of them but I’ve found clothes and/or accessories that I like and recommend these sites for good fashion viewing:

  • Rick Owens for the 21st Century

    Thursday, August 28th, 2008

     
    Clothing, like sex, should be thoroughly pleasurable or there is really no point in wearing them -  or having it — at all.  Susie Ostrov

    Some are not platforms [...]

    Keeping Cool in Summer
    Dressing for warm weather is fun. Keeping cool is key and here are some tips:

    Instead of panties under a dress, try Spanx “shorts”.
    If you plan to walk far on a warm day, wear shoes that allow your feet to expand and a flat shoe is not necessarily the most comfortable – [...]

  • I’m in a Purse Conundrum

    Thursday, August 7th, 2008

    I cannot find a purse worthy of my dollars these days. Don’t get me wrong, I like a lot of what I see and I’d easily buy a half-dozen or so. But, they are too expensive and I want just one – the right one.
    Why Buy More
    I have some great purses; most of [...]
