"WATCH" This!

A watch isn't just a time teller. It's one of fashion's greatest accessories! I must confess that I have never been one to wear a watch. I feel like it gets in the way of my look. It's distracting. 

Meanwhile, I have admired watches on others and have observed how they actually make a watch part of their look. This would be difficult for me, since this may mean that I need to own more than one watch. The only watch on the planet that I would want to wear with anything and everything is a Philip Stein watch. That's my dream watch. See photo below:
We all know that my budget is tight, so I must learn to settle. I have been admiring the way a white watch looks on a ladies wrist in the summer. But, you know me! I simply can't be just like everyone else! So I walked into Macy's about a week ago with my $10 birthday coupon in hand. I decided to scope out the sale watches. Tons of cool white watches! I tried a few on. They just didn't look the same on me as they did on everyone else. Maybe it's my pale skin. I just wasn't dying over any of them.

Then, on the bottom of the sale rack I stumbled upon this crystal clear watch by Anne Klein. Did it look cheesy? I tried it on. Not too bad! I looked in the mirror and I knew this would be the one. Now for the price. On sale from $60 to $29.99! And with my $10 off coupon it would cost me about $20. Life is good!

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...
