No Hairstyle, No Make-Up? Don't Bother Getting Dressed.

This is my opinion and my opinion only. I believe that if you are going to leave the make-up off and the hair undone then you might as well not get dressed. Now, I don't mean that you should go around naked all day. Right now, you'd be kind of chilly if you did that. As least here in Maine you would be. What I mean, is that your hair style and your make-up are probably more important than the actual outfit itself. Without those two elements, there is no "look." I'm sorry all you au naturals out there, but it's true. Which is why I tend to not even think about what I am going to wear before my hair and make-up are in tact. All I can say is, thank goodness for showers, hair dryers, flat irons, curling irons and make up......especially mascara and concealer for me. What are your make-up musts?

 I have only met a handful of girls who look like a million dollars with zero make-up. Did I mention that I hate those girls?! Just kidding. And it seems like they have no idea of what they've got. Did I mention that I hate those girls?! The above photo is of myself on one of my vacation days wearing no make-up. Did I get dressed that day? Sure. I wore a black tank top and a pair of yoga pants. Which isn't really a "look" per say. Did my husband and my friends and family still like me? Of course they did. And it felt good to take a break from it all.


 The point that I am trying to make is that you just can't go into a store and purchase a new wardrobe and expect to put on an outfit and be ready to take on the world. Your hair and your make-up speak volumes more about you than your clothes. Think of your clothes as the icing on the cake. Think of your hairstyle and make-up as the cake. You can't put icing on something that isn't there.

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...
