That's WHITE!!!


I have always LOVED the look of wearing all white. It just looks so clean and very chic. I will never forget the time I was wearing all white linen. A white oversized linen blouse belted out over a pair of white wide leg linen pants. I loved the outfit! My son was 3 1/2 at the time and I was bringing him to my sisters for the day while I went to work. I had to lift him up into the car seat, but first I told him, "Now look, mumma is wearing all white so be VERY careful to not get your feet on me when I lift you up to your seat!" He being the little angle that he is observed my outfit and agreed to be very careful. When we got to my sisters house he got out of the seat and out of the car he said, "Mumma STOP! You have something on you! Don't move!" I didn't want to look. I just said, "WHERE!!" He came over to me a picked off this tiny little black thread and said "There mumma now you look pretty." Well of course that was summer so I don't recommend wearing white linen now. However white or winter white wools are perfect for right now and if you live in Maine, NOW is the time to be wearing your winter whites!!! Do it now before it gets messy. Of course if you live someplace where you don't get messy weather then any time of year is great for whites. Just watch your fabrics. Nothing in lineny or cottony. You want to look seasonless not past season:-) You only live once. Just try wearing something white in the weeks to come a feel your confidence level go through the roof! Just don't drink red wine or coffee;-)

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...
