Yesterday was a big day!  I had quite a few new readers come check out this blog because I was mentioned in a Chat Room….welcome, to any of you who stopped by and decided to come back!! With this joy always comes the zingers!  Someone wrote (in the chat room) that my jewelry is too…

Reader Request: Where’d You Get Those Pants?

All things Pants…that is the current fashion headline and I am loving the options!  A reader asked me on Monday where I purchase my slim legs-ankle- length pants.  First, I want you to know that one of my wardrobe goals for the past six months has been to upgrade my pants. My old selections were…

Yes, Gigi’s new outfit from Chico’s is the tops!  She received the total look as a Christmas present from her daughter and the colors are …well….just perfectly artistic, Gigi!  Toppers and cardigans are great ways to add pizazz to a neutral based wardrobe.  All the work is done by the one garment.  Gigi’s can go with…

Colored Denim and Leggings…Bring Them On!

This is the best time of life…time to have some fun.  I am so glad to discover that I am not the only woman in my fifties who feels this way.  I have met some exciting women on the blogs and running businesses (Like Marilyn from this POST), but I also have found they are…
