The Little White Dress
Summer is flying by…but it’s not too late to wear the little “white” dress when the temps rise and the sun shines. I bought a little eyelet shift dress from Gap earlier this summer and I love wearing it with a Panama hat and little delicate sandals. There are so many pretty dresses out in white, […]

I am going to step on some toes here…the picture I’ve featured is the beloved Capri pant. Sorry ladies — most women who wear Capri pants don’t look good in them.

Believe it or not, there are some do’s and don’ts to follow when you’re trying to look thinner! Think about hemlines.
