My number one style tip

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

If you’ve ever felt like you just have nothing to wear, or returned home to the pile of clothes you left on the bed trying to figure out what works with what, or thought, “Wow, those shoes are so great, but I have nothing to wear them with”, then this is for you.

Get your groove on gardening

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Spring is here and it’s time to get out and get planting. Even I have been bit by the gardening bug. Truth be told, though, I’ve come to realize that my traditional gardening outfit of gym clothes and flip flops just isn’t that practical. So, if you’re like me and are in […]

Shoes over pants, Fashion passions and shopping dislikes

Monday, March 24th, 2008

There’s a reason why I have an obscene number of shoes. Whenever I go clothes shopping, I make a b-line for the shoes section.
It doesn’t matter what I’m there to look for, I’m hardly in the door when the shoe section starts calling me. Fortunately, I tend to shop mostly at Ross […]

Call me a box of crayons

Monday, January 28th, 2008

So, I’ve been going crazy for color this season. Actually, it started this time last year — during the season of black and white. My closet is still recovering since that’s when I bought a lot of my current wardrobe. And the mustard yellow summer we had didn’t help me one bit […]

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 […]

How I’m staying warm for less

Friday, December 28th, 2007

Last month the weather was cool enough that we didn’t have to run the air conditioner much at all. As a result, my husband and I finally saw a dip in our electric bill. This month, though, it’s gotten nippy enough that we’ve had to turn on the heat.
Having seen how […]

Tregging trepidation

Friday, November 16th, 2007

P.S., Icy and I were reading each other’s minds again. Check out her thoughts on the subject here.
My husband and I were driving through my college’s parking lot yesterday when we saw a woman walk past in nothing but a sweater and black treggings. And no, the sweater didn’t cover her bum.
If […]

Pondering plaid?

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

Plaid is everywhere right now. While it has long been a popular pattern, it’s now easier than ever to dress in plaid from headband to peep-toe shoes and add a matching bag. While I don’t ever advocate that kind of pattern overload, plaid can be a great way to add color and pattern […]

A tip about denim colors

Friday, June 8th, 2007

Dark blue jeans look dressier and are more slimming than lighter washes. They are also more versatile than black jeans and look less dated. Wear dress pants when you want to wear black pants. When you are buying a basic pair of jeans that needs to be versatile, if in doubt, […]

Shorts

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

A couple days I wrote about various types of bottoms one can comfortably wear in the summer heat. Looking around the blogosphere, it appears that I am not the only one that dislikes short shorts. Of course, I’m not surprised. In my humble opinion, few women have the body to pull […]

Summer bottoms

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

It’s been in the 80s and 90s (Fahrenheit) where I live and I’ve been ready to ditch my long pants for something cooler. Normally I don’t wear regular shorts. Looking around town, there are a lot of women wearing short shorts and few can pull them off. First off, shorts are very […]
