The Best Vest


Vests are so cool, so hip, and so now. I have always loved that menswear look for fall and the great thing about it is that it seems to come back in some form every year! This year it seems like fashion is about not trying so hard. So you should not worry too much about what you are going to wear undreneath your vest. Believe me, there seems to be a vest for everyone out there. Lets face it, we all have our own unique style(as we should) and the menswear look is not for everyone. If this is the case you should opt for a softer more feminine feel, such as wearing a soft feminine blouse underneath with a delicate longer style necklace. Vests also look great when worn unbuttoned over a white tank paired with skinny jeans and ballet flats while the weather is still warm. And of course I just love the way the vest looks over a white blouse. Make it more feminine by keeping the blouse open at the neck and tying a scarf around your neck in one of the more modern styles, such as a sash wrapped around your neck and tied in a soft bow, or try an oblong scarf wrapped around your neck a couple of times and tie a soft knot in the front and tuck the two ends down the front of your blouse, and keeping the look very soft, blouse out the scarf just a tad. I love this look especially when the weather gets cold. The scarf takes the place of a turtleneck. If you are reeaallllyy daring, then you might just wear that vest alone(meaning nothing underneath;-) with a pair of wide leg pants for an evening out. There are so many ways to make a vest work for you! We have so many options. That's why I love being a girl!

P.S You just need to make sure that you get those vests out of your head that you wore in the 80's.

Fashion Is For Models. STYLE Is For Real Women.

The fashion world has always favored skinny models to show off the latest trends. But it's the real women who actually buy them. Why does this make sense? Well I guess when it comes right down to the brutal truth, people buy things that look good. And lets face it, clothes look better when they are smaller. It's kind of like when I go into a store to try on shoes and the one on display that I am attracted to is a size 6 or 7 and then the sales clerk brings out my size (9 or 9/2) and I'm like "That's not the same shoe, is it? The one on display looks different!" The clerk tells me that it is in fact the same shoe. Suddenly, I don't want to try it on anymore. So, I just want to tell all you ladies out there who are not a size 4 in a dress that I get it. But we can't let it bother us.  Fashion is everywhere and marketing is everywhere and the majority of it is big beautiful pictures of skinny people. Keep in mind, models in magazines have the b...

FALL for Flowers!

{Leifsdottir Alegrias tiered floral skirt} Totally unpredictable and completely cool. Flowers for fall are exactly what you need to take your "I miss summertime" blues away. There are no rules in fashion. It's just about achieving a look that is your best and that you feel good in. Who says plaid is the only print you can wear in the fall? Now, don't get me wrong. Plaid is one of my favorite patterns. So maybe we can mix them together! {See below} Flower patterns are fun and so glamorous during any season. Just make your floral skirts a little more fall like by wearing a pair of colorful tights! Can you say FLOWER POWER?! And we are going to need some major FLOWER POWER especially when the temperature begins to drastically drop. {Christopher Kane ~ garden leather mini skirt} {Carolina Herrera}

The Necessary Black T-Shirt

I have to admit, I have not been getting dressed up much these days. I think it has something to do with just wanted to be comfortable. I have been sewing a ton of masks at The Maine Square   and it just feels better to not be confined in my clothing as I am cutting fabric and sewing. However, I do have to go out of the studio occasionally. Mostly it's to the mailbox, but sometimes it's to get more supplies and of course food. I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, but I do think about how I look even when going out to do these quick errands. It makes me feel good to look half decent! Lately I have been opting for a simple black tee shirt and a pair of semi faded jeans. All I need to do it pop on a camel colored blazer and some ballet flats and I am good to go! Oh yeah, and I ALWAYS wear a mask when entering a public facility these days. I think it's just common courtesy with all that is going on with the corona virus.  Here are some of my all-time favori...
