Confidence with Trends

Confidence with Trends

We don’t have to let fashion trends cause us to grieve over low clothing budgets or get down on ourselves.  Sometimes participating in a trend is just a matter of updating or remixing garments we already own!

My Love Affair With Black

My Love Affair With Black

After such wonderful comments about wearing color, I almost hate to confess to the latter.  For some reason, when the weather is cold, my go to looks are mostly in BLACK.  I have heard all of the fashion advice about wearing browns and navy blue instead of black.  Supposedly, black is so harsh on our…

INSPIRATION: RED

INSPIRATION: RED

Everywhere I have turned lately, red is being proclaimed as a major part of Fall 2012 fashion!  So, when I saw this catalog from  CHICOS…. I thought, well I do not have the super fun Chicos pants, but I can come close.  That led to this inspiration outfit.  I’ve learned not to get depressed if…
