Re: How does one get the polished look?

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

Allie at Wardrobe Oxygen recently wrote a response to the oft-asked question How does one get the polished look?.
She’s got some great advice, so do check it out. I particularly liked this bit:
Stop purchasing prints. A few prints tossed in every so often are great, but polished women are those decked out […]

Raiding my husband’s closet

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

I hate shopping for pants. I don’t really like wearing pants. I have one, maybe two pairs of jeans that fit. However, I occasionally have to wear pants.
A few days ago my band director called me up and asked if I’d mind playing with the university’s pep band at a ladies basketball […]

Bristols 6 Stylin’ Tape

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Disclaimer: I did receive some products from Bristols 6 free of charge with the understanding that I would review them. However, the company has at no time given me any type of input in regards to the type of review, I have received no other compensation for this review, and I don’t get any money […]

Quotes from my husband: Panties?

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

My husband says the darndest things. I really appreciate his honesty, especially about women’s fashion. Sometimes what he says is funny, sometimes it’s profoundly wise. Often, it’s both. So, I’m starting a new series: “Quotes from my husband”. Here’s the first one, said yesterday afternoon as we drove out of […]

Not traveling in style

Friday, September 7th, 2007

A 23 year-old woman traveling on Southwest airlines should have read my series on traveling in style. The airlines told her to adjust her skirt before she could fly, because she showed up in a mini-skirt that was too short. You can see her outfit for yourself on this CNN video. Frankly, […]

No more highwaters

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

I don’t know why, but yesterday I spotted pair after pair of highwater jeans. Now, capris can be cute on the right person, but highwaters are a whole other beast entirely. Whereas capris end somewhere between the mid-calf to right below the knee, highwaters end right above the ankle. Pants ending right […]

Another bra intervention

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

Yeah! I’m back home from London. I’m getting over a cold I picked up there, so I hope you’ll excuse me if my posts this week are not as frequent as before the trip. However, I’ve gotten plenty of inspiration and have a lot in mind to write.
First off, there is the […]

It’s not you, it’s your…

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

Do you hate your armpit fat? Do you hate how your back fat? Does your bra run up in the back? Do you think you have small breasts?
If you said yes to some of those (and even if you didn’t) you could be wearing the wrong size bra. It’s […]
