Dressed for Success
Most of you know my fabulous friend, Gigi!! Today she is modeling a skirt and blouse from the W by Worth Spring 2012 Collection. I am so in love with these pieces…the colors…the fit…the strong, chic look! She is rocking it!
Not only is she stylish, but, Gigi is the ultimate atelier…..an art instructor par excellence! Gigi believes that EVERYONE can draw, and she will accept no excuses. It is amazing what she is able to do with her students. Rodeo week is a huge event for them, because every year she has students who will win thousands of dollars for their Western paintings. One of her past students funded her entire Bachelor’s Degree with one painting.
Gigi is one 50+ lady making a difference in the lives of others! She is a dear friend and the one who talked me into writing this blog!
Here are a few of my favorite Rodeo Art Paintings this year!
Hey, everyone, I need more smiles! Send me your smile and I will feature you in the sidebar at the top! Smiling is our best accessory!!

Wow, what amazing art! And very cute outfits.
Gigi looks real chic! Stunning outfit! Greetings from snowy Rome!
Gigi looks fantastic, I love her mix of animal prints. Love the painting of the horses faces too.
Rarely do I comment on blogs, but I have to say that this is one blog that I look forward to reading every.single.day. Pam — you are such a down-to-earth person and I just love your attitude. I enjoy seeing the pictures of Gigi and Miss Joy. Keep up the good work my fellow Texan!
Wow! Those are awesome paintings! And she is looking pretty stylish! Have a great Thursday!
Gigi is a very elegant woman and reflects her talent in her self expression. Beautiful mix of colors and patterns!
Gigi…love her name. She sounds like a lovely person who gives to others and lives her life fully.
What beautiful paintings! High school students painted them? Wow!

Wow, your blog is a great find! I'm in my 40s, not 50s, but I've been having a tough time finding fashion that is age-appropriate but not frumpy. Subscribing!
Your friend is adorable. I greatly envy her style. 🙂

Love gigi's outfit!!
As a former art teacher I am with Gigi that anyone can draw- we all have the potential to create art in some fashion-be it painting, drawing, pottery.
Her student's artwork is amazing!
OK Gigi is fabulous and I can see why you two are friends and also…that artwork is done by high schoolers? That is amazing talent!
Gigi is so foxy, I love her in that leopard capelet! Yowza! And the paintings are just amazing, it's hard to believe high school kids did that caliber of work but I think that just shows what can happen when your art teacher believes in you and pushes you to go beyond what you think you can do. XO, Jill
You go Gigi!
Gigi is always so elegant. I love her necklace in the first picture.
Her students are amazing! While all the pictures are outstanding, I truly love the last picture. It looks like you could reach out and touch the horses. Amazing!!!!
