Dress it Up!
It’s vacation season; it’s warm and sunny, and the summer stretches out to meet us. What a great time to add some new dresses to your wardrobe, ladies! They are easy to wear, and they flatter you. I wrote this story for Kit magazine, and it features some dresses you will love. Some are more […]
The Shark Bite that Doesn’t Hurt!
Ever heard of the Shark Bite hem? I thought this type of dress was also called the handkerchief hem–think that is the old word for it. Anyway, I have two dresses with this type of hem. They are fun and surprisingly flattering–especially if you want to wear something a little shorter but not mini. I […]
My Problem and Fashion Fix!
Hello Ladies. Ever bought a piece you really like, pair it with something you have and find — it just doesn’t work??? You don’t want to spend too much time try to find something ….but. I bought a pair of black and white polka dot straight ankle pants–very comfortable, too, in all cotton with a […]
More Fun Summer Dresses
As summer gets closer, I always like to find some long-sleeve options for casual dresses. Sometimes you just don’t want a long sleeve — it’s cold inside, you are out later and it cools down — or maybe it’s not even warm yet in your area — yes, Indiana weather. Rain, rain go away… Anyway, […]
We All Love Maxi’s!
Maxi dresses are hitting the stores, and I love to look at all of them. There are so many choices, it’s hard to choose. The one maxi I already bought is from Tommy Bahama. I could not believe how great their store is–I found a couple when I was on vacation. I have a graduation […]

I love gingham in cotton for shirts,dresses, skirts, even shorts. When you select your gingham pieces, consider your size. Petite women should think […]
The Best Investment You Will Ever Make
If you are like me, you’ve bought many raincoats over the years–many of them trench coats or colorful, almost dress-like coats for spring. These are fun and a great addition to your wardrobe. A couple of years ago, I spent more than $250 on a spring coat, which for me, at the time, was a […]
Pantone Color of the Year
Hello Fashionistas, Many of you might already know this, but the Pantone Color of the Year 2016 is Rose Quartz and lilac. It’s a pretty combination, one I used this past Easter. It was totally unintentional — I had bought a sleeveless lilac sheath and needed a coverup. I choose a cropped pale pink shrug. […]
Channeling June Cleaver…
Readers, I’ve always been a fan of the lady dress: The full, pleated skirt. Well, fashion times have granted my wishes. These dresses are very much in vogue, and so many women can look absolutely darling in them. The full, long pleated skirts are in style, too, and I love them as well. Those of […]
Good Transition Piece: The Blazer
