Gotta get this on Sale!!

Gap has a Tuxedo blazer on sale right now for $73.00, regularly $99.00. I'm getting it! It will go with everything--skirt, jeans, slacks. What I'm really looking forward to wearing it with is my new boyfriend jeans (rolled up above the ankles...of course), with some fabulous platform shoes, and maybe just a white Hanes t-shirt. Tres chic!
If I can figure out how to post a pic, I will ha ha!

Gotta get this on Sale!!

Still Learning!

I really don't understand what all this blogging is about, but thanks for bearing with me. I am still trying to figure out how to DO everything because at this point of things, I always have to call my 14 year old daughter to come help me. CRAZY!!!!
For instance, how do I get this old stuff to move on and how do I change the TOP TRENDS from last Fall? Actually though, after looking at them, they are STILL top trends this year. Or was I just ahead of the game???

It Feels So Good to Be Right!!!

Hey guys, didn't I call it? Last year I said the classic Blazer is really big. Well, what I should've said is, "it's going to be really big," cuz it didn't quite catch on last year but it did this year--it's everywhere. They're calling it the Boyfriend Blazer. That's okay, whatever it's called....we all need one.

Wear it with jeans, skirt, dress, slacks, t-shirt, button down. Let it take the place of your sweatshirts and hoodies.

Here are a few that I've found:
Heritage Military Blazer, $119.99 (regularly $152.00) at Banana Republic
Wool Boyfriend Blazer, $350.00 at J Crew
L.A.M.B. Boyfriend Blazer, $285.00 at Nordstrom

I know, these are obvious places to look, but give me a day and I will find the deals out there for you, so check back.
Later!

TIPS TO ALWAYS REMEMBER

1. Dress Your Age.

2. Dress for Your Body Type.

3. Just because it looks good on your friend doesn't mean it will look good on you.

4. Don't save it for a special occassion, wear it now.

5. Remember: Fit, Silhouette and Proportion!

6. Classic never goes out of style.

7. Buy better quality Classic pieces and inexpensive (cheap!) Trendy pieces.

8. Light colored fabric shows shoddy and cheap workmanship, so if want to scrimp, buy less quality pieces in dark colors.

In the next 8 weeks I will really get in to the nitty gritty of each tip. You won't want to miss it!
Thanks for visiting my blog, come on back!!!

Shoe Alert!!!

This is the perfect alternative to the black pump this Fall/Winter. It's a dark enough green to be neutral and looks fabulous on! It also comes in a brushed cognac suede and a tri-color pump. Truly beautiful, I want all three! Ciao!

It's Time to Get Dressed!

I don't have anything to wear!!!"
We've all said that. This is why: A closet full of clothes does not a wardrobe make.
Think of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's--she was beautiful in every scene with just two chic black dresses, a belted trench and a low-heel, pointy pump. All pieces we could wear today, forty years later.
Why?
Because they're classics.
A classic is timeless, it lasts from decade to decade and still looks current. Hubert de Givenchy said, "All a woman needs to be chic is a raincoat, two suits, a pair of trousers and a cashmere sweater."
So this is what I have to say today: Build your wardrobe around classics. When you do that, you'll never say, "I have don't have anything to wear!," again.

But what are the classics, you ask. Here are my four favorites:
A trench coat
A pencil skirt
A turtle neck sweater
A classic blazer

All the stylish women wore these back in the 1930s and on.

More on this later.
