I've been sprinkled with pixie dust!

Contrary to popular belief, the length of our hair does not define how feminine we are. And to prove this, I am on a long hair strike!

I am tired of seeing women struggle to get their hair long to please a man or someone else besides themselves. Don't get me wrong, I always want to please my man, but if the only way of doing that would be to get my hair to look like a Victoria's Secret model every day then I would know that he isn't the man for me. On the other hand, if I wanted to wear my hair long like a Victoria's Secret model, as I have in the past, then I would, and I will again, when I feel like it. But right now I feel like sporting the pixie. My bangs are a little longer than a typical pixie, but maybe next time I will get them trimmed up a little shorter. Change is not only good, it's fun!

And for all you ladies growing your hair out and struggling every day to please someone else, stop doing that. Trust me, they will love you no matter what you do to your hair. You must please yourself before you can even begin of thinking about pleasing someone else. And you're smart enough to know that doesn't only pertain to your hair style........

And this is not a long hair bashing post. I love long hair and I have had it for quite some time. This post is strictly meant for pure inspiration for all you ladies out there who have ever thought about chopping it all off but didn't know if you quite dared to do so...

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...
