Would You Mix Tweeds With Florals?

I sure would........... And I did :)


The gorgeous weather we have been having in the state of Maine may have contributed to my recent pattern mixing. I know that fall is in the air, so it's time to take out the tweeds. But I'm also hesitating to put away the spring and summer floral patterns because of the warm sunny weather we have been having. As you know, in fashion some say that there are rules to follow. I say that there are some rules to go by, but some of these  rules should be broken. It is a fine line. To me looking your best is about how something works on YOU. It takes a lot of experimenting to achieve an amazing look, especially when you want to try something new and move out of your box. You may not even realize how fabulous something looks on you until you try, and even then you still may not realize! That's why people hire people like me! A fashion stylist may be someone you may want to have in your life. Just sayin'.......;)

Below you will find some gorgeous ladies wearing tweeds mixed with florals that I found to be quite inspiring:
The model on the left is actually wearing FLOW-ERS on her tweed. So pretty!
Ralph Lauren is known for mixing tweeds and florals. You'd mix the two in your living room. Why not do it on your body?!!

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...
