A Breath of Fresh Air
















This fall we have seen the 80's come back in a BIG way. The moto jackets, the skinny jeans, neon colors, strong shoulders, over the knee high heel boots. You get the idea. It has been a struggle for some women including myself. Trying to find the balance between trends and your own style can be challenging. It's important to understand that all you need is a couple of pieces that incorporate the trend of the season into your wardrobe. There is no need to buy a whole new one. Sometimes this only means purchasing a couple of great accessories. Whatever the trend may be, just continue to be yourself. Know what you like and don't like, but at the same time be willing to try. Trying is the fun part:-)
Why am I talking about trends today, you might be asking? I am talking about trends because we are about to see a change. How does a fresh new take on the 70's sound to you? Think softer silhouettes vs. the very strong silhouettes of the 80's. Think more of a subtle palette vs. bright and bold. I am so very excited to see this 70's comeback because I am all about soft feminine looks. And that's just me. You may not love this look, but you just wait. It will grow on you just like the last trend, and the trend before that, and the trend before that, and so on. Here are some cool new looks for you to gaze at. Don't you feel the fresh cool air on your face! It's soooo refreshing!!

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...
