Autumn Heat & Paul Revere

Autumn Heat & Paul Revere

Just thought this student painting was appropriate…not sure WHY exactly!     South Texas during Autumn is completely not fun! The temperatures often soar up into the nineties with humidity levels that make it feel even higher. So, wearing fun, cute, fall-like fashion can be quite frustrating for many days on end.  Today I drove past a…

Know Your Neighborhood Retailers Well!

Know Your Neighborhood Retailers Well!

The Neckline was Unique As I began to rebuild my wardrobe with clothes that flattered my shape, I learned more about the retailers near where I live and work. It helps to know when they move clothes to sale racks….what day racks are filled from the Marshall’s delivery (Monday for me) ….to know that on…

Inspiration

 Recently, I threw on a long Boho, military green skirt, denim jacket, and the scarf pictured to the left.  I was really surprised at the attention the scarf received…so many, young and older, were attracted to the color scheme in the scarf (which I picked up in September at Marshall’s).

Her statement necklace was showing just below an incredible sweater! A…

Go Ahead…Stick Your Neck Out!

One of my favorites from Chicos True Confessions……I Love Big Necklaces! For me, a big, creative design in a necklace is so much fun! However, for those of you who are blessed to be smaller, a classic string of pearls may be your statement necklace. Remember that a statement piece of jewelry should not compete…

MAKE A STATEMENT!

One of my favorite statement jackets! When I began to make over my life, seven years ago, I really focused first on good basic wardrobe essentials which fit well and could make lots of outfits. But, as I have gone further on my journey, I began to learn how to develop the style I wanted…

FROM DARK TO LIGHT

FIRST, THE DARK SIDE The Lines in this blouse are so slimming! In July, I wrote about those ladies who are addicted to black. You know the ones who feel really comfortable in a cave or sleeping without a light on at night, because their closets look the same…pitch black, devoid of color. Seriously, many…
