Everything's Coming Up Roses!

This dress that Sarah Jessica is wearing is so lovely and so feminine.
See the photo below for a very similar vintage dress that I found on
ETSY
 I know I am a bit obsessed with roses right now. Last week I had posted a blog titled 'Rosette Accents Give That Feminine Touch.' Well there is a slight difference between roses and rosettes. Roses are larger in size and seem to open up to a fuller flower while rosettes are more petite. Both are just as beautiful and create happiness when worn! Here are just a few happy little numbers that I found while surfing the net...........Are you getting happy yet???
As I stated above, you can find this little retro number on ESTY. I can picture this being worn at an afternoon tea or a garden party. Who has those types of occasions you ask? Well, you do if you plan it! And this dress is worth planning a special occasion around;-) Simple hair and simple makeup would be best worn with this. See how Sarah Jessica is styling this look above. A perfect example.

This top by Leifsdotter is my pick from the garden of roses. I must own this!!! I will be watching it all season to see if it ever goes on sale. It might have to be saved for next summer, but if I own it I will treasure it for years!

This is about as feminine as a pair of Doc Martins gets! Cute with a pair of faded rolled up boyfriend jeans!

Log on to Facebook to view my complete rose garden album. It is so nice to see this pretty flower in full bloom!

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...
