The Perfect Dress to Wear to Your Pan Am Reunion



That title was just to get your attention. A little black dress can be worn to many more events than a Pan Am reunion. I only said that because the other day I actually assisted a lady in finding one to wear to her Pan Am reunion out in LA! Pretty nifty. I was so interested in hearing her story. I wish that I was going to the reunion with her! Or to just be a fly on the wall of their conversations would be fantastic. She said that they used to actually cook rib eye steaks on the plane to serve to their 1st class flyers! If you were flying coach you would also get steak, but it was strips. I could handle that. They would make each and every flyer a drink of their choice and would make everyone feel so comfortable on the plane as if they were in their own living room. And the one thing I didn't know, Pan Am did not fly domestically. They only flew overseas. Today Pan Am is remembered as a luxury airline largely by people who never flew it. They were aimed at getting ordinary Americans to fly overseas, often for the first time. The things they forget to teach you in school!! 

So anyway, here is the prefect little black dress that Cyrene chose to wear to her Pan Am reunion:
TALBOTS Merino Wool V-Neck Dress. This dress can be accessorized so many ways using different scarves, jewelry, shoes, boots, belts as well as different colored tights.

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...
