Wear A Scarf In Your Hair For A Chic Summer Look!

Ever since I saw Water For Elephants at the theater you might say that I have been obsessed with wearing scarves in my hair. Below is my interpretation of Reese's look as her character Marlena.

 What I wore:
"angel wing" tee: Gap
cropped skinny jeans: Talbots
scarf: Talbots
wedges: Clarks


 Here is another way I wore a scarf in my hair. My husband thought it looked great. "Kind of like a gypsy look," he said. I know he was trying to be all fashion-y when he said that, but I was really going for more of a
chic French lady/Bridget Bardot kind of look.
 MEN. They just don't get it. But at least he was trying.......;) 
I just swept my hair into a low side ponytail and tied the scarf around my head and then went around the ponytail a couple of times and then tied the ends underneath and let it hang down over my shoulder.

Pretty! I love the length of the scarf you chose to use. I usually double mine twice around my head, but that leaves such a short little tassle knot at the end. I think I'll tie it like you did, instead!
Ps. thanks for the feedback on blog posting frequency! I really appreciate it! (And I agree, blogging is first and formost something I do for me and I definitely don't want to burn out!)

Pretty and such a grand idea. Will need to drum up the courage to try it when summer next makes it way down south.

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...
