Tactful Totes!







It's that time again. Well it's that time for me all the time now that I'm a grown up. Meaning that I am not only on the hunt for the perfect tote specifically for back to school like most ladies at this time of year, but because I am ALWAYS carrying a tote these days and I am not even going back to school! (at the moment anyway:-) I just have so much stuff! Of course I carry all the purse essentials like a wallet, lip gloss (usually like 5 different ones for some weird reason), Rimmel translucent powder for touch ups during the day, my checkbook, a notepad, a pen and the list goes on and on. Plus I carry my lunch, which I try to pack everyday because I'd rather spend my money on fashion than fast food:-) Then there's that extra pair of shoes that I need at the end of the day so that I don't limp through the grocery store in the heels that I have been stomping around in all day!!!! Plus I don't like to wear my nice shoes all over town. The pavement is so hard on them! And lately I have been carrying a clutch inside my tote just in case I go anywhere after work and I don't want to tote around the tote! Wow life is complicated. Thank goodness there are some realllly cute tote bags out there. My favorite is my Tory Burch Tote. It is HUGE! And it's the only tote that I have ever had that holds everything I need. LeSportsac also makes some great totes. They come in some really cute prints these days. And I love some of Cole Haan's totes. I love them more when they go on sale!!!

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...
