Animal Magnetism at ANY AGE!

I was totally inspired by the subscribers edition of the Harper's Bazaar April cover shoot with Demi Moore feeding a giraffe high atop a spiral staircase wearing a spring design by the late Alexander McQueen.  So beautiful it looks like it is straight out a child's book of fairy tales. I have always loved animal prints and they just never seem to go out of style. Sometimes wearing animal prints in real life can be tricky. Too much print can look tacky depending on your age and the style of the garment. I believe that everyone can wear animal prints. You just have to know how to wear them. A lot of it has to do with keeping accessories simple. (This includes your hairstyle) Keep reading to see how you can wear animal prints at any age!

In your 20's you can do just about anything with animal prints and get away with it. You are only young once! See how her hair is really simple and pulled back. This is what we want. The last thing any lady should do with her hair is have too much volume when wearing animal prints. Instead of looking chic it will make you look cheap. This goes for ALL AGES.  I LOVE how she is wearing no jewelry. You might just want to do a diamond stud at the most.

This dress is adorable for someone in her 30's. It is sexy and sophisticated. It is also fun and flirty!

This skirt from Talbots is fabulous for that sexy chic lady in her 40's. It is the perfect length and it will look great with a jacket in the office or with a black tee with a little ruffle detail for a more fun and relaxed look. Also, don't be afraid to put a pop of color with a skirt like this. A grass green looks so great with these neutral shades!

This animal print jersey dress by David Meister is so flattering. And nothing is more comfy than matte jersey! I love the shape it gives and again the length is perfect for a lady in her 50's. So very sexy without trying to look like she is 20. You will find this dress at Neiman Marcus

This is another jersey dress by David Meister. I love this color! And a lady in her 60's is going to need COLOR. It will POP her complexion and make her feel so alive! Again, the length is perfect for a lady in her 60's. The style of this dress is incredibly flattering. You will find this dress at Saks Fifth Avenue

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...
