What A Difference Confidence Makes!

What A Difference Confidence Makes!

Eight years ago, I would not have had the confidence to wear this leopard cape! Thank goodness I have been through a major reinvention since then and now do not mind having heads turn when I enter a room…even if it is for the garment!!  I entered my 50s with me on the back burner,…

The Eye of the Beholder

The Eye of the Beholder

My back yard is a small, middle class neighborhood backyard.  The grass is dead from recent droughts, and lack of funds has limited my gardening.  My son’s dog occasionally comes to visit and has “rearranged” the outdoor furniture and decor!   Nevertheless, I can sit there, find peace and still discover beauty around me.  It is…

Living In Between Runway and Thrift

Living In Between Runway and Thrift

Champagne taste and a Coca Cola pocketbook…. did anyone else’s parents say this to you growing up?  I heard it so much, the phrase would bring torment to me in my dreams.

Autumn Colors Are All I Have!

Autumn Colors Are All I Have!

Can Comfy and Stylish Go Together?

Can Comfy and Stylish Go Together?

My wonderful oldest son is about to graduate from college and enter the professional world.  We butted heads a little bit last weekend over his attire.  He still dresses like a college student…the only pair of jeans are very baggy, ragged, and decorated with paint. He says comfort is everything and one cannot dress comfortably…

Time to Think…COATS!

Time to Think…COATS!

Cold weather has arrived in some northern states, and for the rest of us…it never hurts to be prepared!!  Goodwill helps all of us expand our coat selections and take them to new levels. I love this coat…it has a chic, Mad-Men-vibe to it and will be great for going out with Mr. B.  I…

What Would You Do?

What Would You Do?

LOVE At First Sight….that’s what I immediately felt when I saw these shoes in GARMENT EXCHANGE, my favorite consignment shop, this summer. But, I have struggled since then with styling.  I think they would go best with leggings and a flowy tunic….but I cannot wear that to work.  Here is what I did…but honestly, these…
