Put Away Those Spikes and Get Ladylike!!

clas·sic [klas-ik] 
1. of enduring interest, quality, or style: a classic design

When I found out that ladylike low heels are all the rage for Fall 2010 I had to hold myself back from sighing out loud with relief!! I couldn't let my colleagues know that I had been in pain all this time! That wouldn't be glamorous! Being a retired ballerina has given me both the discipline and grace that one must possess in order to wear three to four inch heels for a nine hour workday. Okay, so taking all that pain isn't the healthiest thing in the world, but fashion is not usually comfortable, right? Well, the three classic shoe styles pictured below are fairly comfortable, are my top picks for summer, and are in style ALL THE TIME. How can we wait until fall to sport the lower heels? It's simple.We can't! And we don't have to. They are a classic.
Valentino open toe couture pump.

Everyone needs a red pump to add that pop to your look. Fabulous with white or black pants and skirts. Also loving navy and red worn together to create that nautical look for summer.

Jimmy Choo nude slingback

If you don't already have a nude shoe for summer, you better get moving. A nude shoe like this one goes with anything and also creates a long lean leg when worn with skirts and nude or no hose. Try to get a pair that matches closely with your skin tone for your best look.

I couldn't resist these little metallic cuties from Anthropologie. They are the perfect comfy wedge to wear with anything from cropped pants or shorts! Treat a metallic shoe like a neutral. They go with everything and they add just a little hint of shimmer:-)

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...
