My #1 Must Have for 2012 (but I will wear it for years to come)

I have always loved lace. What can I say, I am a girly girl. So therefore a cream lace dress is a must have! Some say that this dress is way to fancy for their lifestyle. When I saw this dress at Talbots, my first thought was how versatile and timeless it was! Wear it to work this fall and winter with black tights. Wear it to work this summer with bare legs and nude pumps! Wear it to a cocktail party with your hair in a french twist. Wear it to your own wedding as the bride or it could be a fabulous reception dress! So many possibilities in just one little lace dress. How could one say no to this? Such a great staple for the wardrobe and you will wear it for years to come.
{This is how I wore my cream lace shift this winter with black tights and black Cole Haan microfiber boots.}

As for my next lace purchase, I can feel this black lace top from Talbots in my future. Perfect with winter white trousers or even with a pair of fabulous designer jeans. This may be the top I wear to a Christmas party I have coming up!
Will you buy anything lace-y this year or next?

I like the lace dress on you. I have too much of an hour glass figure to look good in a dress like that.
What necklace are you wearing with the medallion sweater above? It looks gorgeous, and I'd love to have a front view.

Thank you Denée. The necklace is from Talbots that I purchased a couple of seasons ago. Go to the "Laura's Lovely Looks" tab at the top of the page to see a front view of the necklace.

that style dress wouldn't work for me either, tho it looks great on you - I purchased the black lace top though (as another lace lover) thought it would be a great topper over basic black sleeveless sheath dress - belted ... looking forward to wearing it! love all your looks!

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...
