Little Things & Big Differences

 Made from a man’s tie!!  It was little things that caught my attention today. I have a very fashion forward student who has begun to make head pieces from men’s ties. I loved the one she wore today and it inspires me to work with some of my husband’s old ones and see if…

Who Do You Dress For?

Please,  have A seat…let’s talk: Who do we dress for? Not an easy question. After I turned 50, I decided that I was too worried about what other people thought and I was going to begin to dress more for myself. That was kind of liberating! I started to “get my act together” for me…

Tacky Christmas Hits the Runway!

 Mrs. Joy leads off the show! There’s nothing better than a day when you have permission to do Bad Fashion! My son gave me these when he was four years old…I still love them! Me!  Santa’s Helper… Well, that’s tacky Christmas-wear day in high school. It was fun…and I thought I would share some…

One of my favorites is this Beatles message T -Shirt that I got for $11.00 at Kohl’s last year with my pinstripe, silk suit jacket.  I have on really big earrings from a thrift story…wish they showed up! I remember 15 years ago when I was so frazzled from raising three children, that I did…

Where Did The Fashion Rules Come From?

Where Did The Fashion Rules Come From?

I wrote recently about antiquated fashion rules that sometimes get into our 50+ heads…well for me another one has been: DON’T WEAR BRIGHT,COOL COLORS IN WINTER MONTHS. I have to constantly remind myself that this is NOT a fashion faux pas any longer.  Today, I was tired of the suits I have been wearing and…
