Show Your Pearly Not Necessarily Whites!


We all know that pearls have been worn in the fashion world forever. It was way back as early as the 1st century BC that China was known to string pearls and later in the 12th century was having them commercially produced! See, you did learn something new today after all! I am here to tell you that pearls have been here for a very long time and they will continue to be one of the most timeless accessories ever worn by us fashion mavens.
These are some pearls of my own from Talbots and I would have to say that they are my second favorite accessory that I own! My 1st favorite is an off white multi strand pearl necklace which you will see as you scroll down. These particular pearls are not white and not all pearls are white much to many peoples dismay. Cultured pearls can come in any color imaginable! Of course I love the way pearls look dressed up but I also love the look of pearls worn with jeans. They also look super cool worn with a simple tee and a denim jacket.




This is a page from my In Style magazine. I am especially loving the Chanel Satin Heels with the glass pearl pictured at the bottom. It's a little hard to see, but it's there. If you click on the image you will make it bigger.

If you don't have a pearl bracelet, then use a really long strand of pearls and wind them around your wrist multiple times to make a grand statement.


This is the Chanel Pearl Pump. This is a DREAM and I am in LOVE!



This is Audrey. I love her pearls draping down her back.

Last but not least this necklace from Talbots is my FAVORITE pearl accessory that I own:-) I wear it with so much more than I thought I would. I am so glad that I own it.

Thank you, Laura, for another tidbit of knowledge, and for giving me the incentive to wear my pearls more often and in different ways. (Loved the Travolta/white suit piece you mentioned last week.)

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...
