What exactly is Timeless Style??

Timeless Style.

We all have heard of ladies who have this trait. What does it mean exactly?

I believe that if you look back at a photo of yourself 20 years ago and you can say to yourself, "I would wear that today" then that means that you have timeless style.

Here are a few photos of ladies that could walk into any era and fit right in. These ladies have

Timeless Style.

This is Audrey Hepburn through the years. Look how fabulous she looks throughout her whole life!

Not every ones style is timeless and not everyone is ashamed of this. It IS okay to embrace a trend. But you don't want to embrace a trend if it doesn't flatter your body. I say forget the trends and embrace what looks good on you. You can always grab a great on trend accessory to update your look. It is mostly your hairstyle and make up that actually give you your style believe it or not. If you look like you just rolled out of bed you might as well just keep your jammies on! You will totally break your look if you don't get it all going on together. Here are the 4 fashion rules to follow in order of importance:

1.} PUT YOUR MAKE UP ON~Even if your look is bohemian. They make natural looking make up. You just have to know how to apply it. (Your fingernails and toe nails are included in Rule #1 as well. I realize that we all can't wear polish. But if you can, then do! Even if it is just a natural shade. It just makes you feel good.)

2.} DO YOUR HAIR~ This doesn't mean that you have to have it in one style every day. You might want to experiment a little here and there. The same style can get boring. If you are wearing a feminine look such a ruffles then you want to balance your look with a modern hairstyle. If you have a more tailored style going on then you might want to try soft waves in your hair so that your look isn't so severe.

3.} PUT YOUR CLOTHES AND ACCESSORIES ON~ Think simple clothing and add accessories to change your looks up a bit. You will be amazed at what accessories can do for your look!)

5.} CONFIDENCE IS COOL. Cocky is not. There is a difference. You might need to get in tune with your spiritual side to really understand rule #4. This can be tricky.

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...

{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.

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...
