Vests Making a Comeback!
We’re all seen or had a quilted vest. Many times they had a hood, were quilted and had an elastic waist. They seem to be popular for a while, then you don’t see them. Vests are making a comeback. This time around, however, the quilting seems to be less puffy, the fit is more sleek […]
Vacation is a page away…
About this time of year, in the Midwest anyway, we get really tired of the cold and snow. If you are lucky enough to take a little trip to a warm place, good for you! If not, try a little escape…in your mind…with spring and summer catalogs, magazines or planning your upcoming trip. I especially […]

The Jacket: A Girl’s Best Friend
When I look at my mom’s high school graduation photo, I see someone totally different than the lady who raised me. This girl is beautiful, dressed smartly with dark, chestnut brown hair. The mom I knew was slightly chubby, tan with curly, grey hair. She certainly wasn’t concerned with style, skin care or her clothes! […]
Cuddly Sleepwear
It feels like the middle of winter now, so I am looking for my warmest PJs and gowns to keep warm each night. I am a big fan of knitwear and flannel–obviously–for winter sleepwear. I have a couple of sets of flannel PJs, but lately I am wearing knit tops and just the bottoms. I […]
Shoes that complement your legs…
Have you ever considered the shoes you pick are just as important as the clothing you wear–they either complement your shape or they don’t. I have to laugh, I never thought about shoes being sexy…until one of my friends years ago said she liked to show “toe cleavage.” What, I said? Yes, she said. When […]
Holiday Dazzle
I’d be remiss if I didn’t visit the idea of what to wear to holiday parties and festivities. Of course, to the office holiday party, my rule is always … no cleavage, ladies, and no mini’s either. Remember, you make your living with these people, you always want to keep the atmosphere professional. I also […]
