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…
I love walking into Gigi’s high school art room…it is a banquet for my senses. I can sit in her room and visit Rome, France, Italy, and LA, all at the same time. I leave each day creatively challenged. This is why I have been doing my Outfit-of-the-Day (OOTD) looks in her room…so much more…
