Eons ago, when I was in my early twenties, I fell in love with dolman sleeves. There are reasons for this, I suppose. Being enthusiastic about old movies and fashion history, it just was a natural for me to love this elegant style hearkening back to more romantic days (well, more romantic in my eyes,Continue reading “Love Those Dolmans”

Black and White and Striped All Over
During the middle ages, clothing with stripes signified bad. Illustrations then of Judas, lepers, heretics, and the devil often revealed them wearing striped clothing. People who dared to wear “the devil’s cloth,” might be harassed or even murdered. Eventually, clothing with stripes came to identify criminals and prostitutes, the lower levels of society. Finally, duringContinue reading “Black and White and Striped All Over”
Some Great Slacks
I know I’ve made a wise buy if I have so many phone pix of me wearing it that we don’t have to get out the camera for a photo shoot. This usually means the wise buy goes with tons of things already in my closet. As you may know, I really like items thatContinue reading “Some Great Slacks”
One Perfect Top
Hmmm…when a new top grabs me, I have questions. Do I like it enough to wear for a few years? How many ways can I wear it with what I already have in my closet? Well made/designed well? What’s the texture…how does the fabric feel? Does it compliment my body? I don’t usually ask ifContinue reading “One Perfect Top”

The Versatility of a Long Cardigan
I’ve always been a fan of long cardigans. They are versatile and can be styled from casual to dressy. This dark green (with underlying brown tones) August Silk cardigan is a new addition to my collection. Different lighting affects how this cardigan appears, but, believe me, it’s dark green. It’s been fun experimenting with waysContinue reading “The Versatility of a Long Cardigan”
Mad About Plaid & Tunics
I’m pretty excited about a Karen Hart shirt/tunic that I just added to my closet. It’s fitted, long and flattering. With a full buttoned front, this top can be used for an extra layered look or just by itself. The sleeves (which are lined with another fabric) can be turned up (to show off bracelets)Continue reading “Mad About Plaid & Tunics”

Pauline of Covered Perfectly has just released some refreshing looks in the animal motif trend that is still wildly popular. Her “Snow Leopard” print tops are classic with a beautiful and easy on the eye print. Being a mixture of winter white, black and grey, I feel that the snow leopard print has an abilityContinue reading “Snow Leopard For All Seasons”

So today, I bring you Covered Perfectly’s A-line cheetah printed skirt, which I adore and think you will too when you see all the ways I’ve found to styleContinue reading “Walking on the Wild Side”
