April 2016, I purchased a simple Asiatica jacket at Gloria Everhart’s Act II consignment shop. For decades, Gloria offered high end fashion to women and men in the Kansas City area. Very shortly after my purchase, Gloria at age 90 retired and Act II closed its doors. I miss it. Designed cleanly and simply, myContinue reading “More Adventurous(?) & Linkup”

Embellishing With Vintage Silk & Linkup
Yea! A project I’ve been mulling over for at least four years finally finished! Wearing occasionally while I was teaching, I had gotten good use from a simple cropped, black jacket by J.Jill. So I put it in the sack to donate to Goodwill. But then I kept taking it out and putting it back.Continue reading “Embellishing With Vintage Silk & Linkup”
Wearing Asiatica & February’s Linkup
Last week, my beloved photographer accompanied me into Asiatica, a most unique and high-end retail store in Kansas City. The brilliant folks at Asiatica offer one-of-a-kind garments created from vintage Japanese kimono pieces, contemporary artisanal fabrics, and other luxurious textiles. Each piece is designed and stitched in Kansas City with superb craftsmanship for a garmentContinue reading “Wearing Asiatica & February’s Linkup”

Going For The Gold: Elegance In December Holidays
Can one have an elegant wardrobe for the holidays and still be on the Good-For-Planet-Earth road of slow fashion (look for well-made 2nd hand/make-it-yourself/buy from local designers or producers)? See what you think after the looks below. In getting ready for a holiday get-together, casual or dressy, I’m inclined to pick silk, velvet, or beadedContinue reading “Going For The Gold: Elegance In December Holidays”
Back To The Black T-Shirt
A couple of months ago I wrote about the importance of having a black T-Shirt. I would even go so far as to say it is on those top lists of things to have in your closet. In that earlier post I did two stylings using a black crew neck shirt the I thrifted fromContinue reading “Back To The Black T-Shirt”
The LBD-2nd Loved 1st Friday Linkup
Everyone needs a black dress. Of my top ten of things to have in my closet, the LBD is number one. If you have just one LBD, it should be simple and preferably sleeveless because a sleeveless dress is more versatile. I took my little black dress and restyled it four ways using accessories: bags,Continue reading “The LBD-2nd Loved 1st Friday Linkup”
Romance & Lace 2nd Loved 1st Friday #4
Lace and romance is my theme for 2nd Loved First Friday #4. This look is the result of an absolute blast I had on Senior Citizen discount day at Goodwill. I went with the idea of finding a something maxi. A chiffon sundress caught my eye. I have never been too much into flower prints.Continue reading “Romance & Lace 2nd Loved 1st Friday #4”
Loving My Red Paisley-2nd Loved 1st Friday #3
This 2nd Loved 1st Friday Linkup is all about Paisley. Yes, Paisley, the classic pattern that can be preppy, bohemian, exotic, and can harken back to the hippy dippy 60’s. I love paisley, not the red bandana kind, but the rich exotic patterns. Luckily I have managed to find three pieces this year on my thrifting excursions and, better yet,Continue reading “Loving My Red Paisley-2nd Loved 1st Friday #3”
