I don’t want to admit that I broke my toe earlier this month. I keep wearing shoes that have heels thinking I am fine and by time I am home, my foot is throbbing. I give up; I wear flats until it heals. 🙁 Navy stretch cotton v-neck sweater from Banana Republic, gray “Drew” trousers… Continue Reading Thursday
Cold but sunny, and had to take a long lunch for my uncle’s funeral at Arlington Cemetary (he passed a couple of months ago). So needed something nicer looking, work-appropriate, layers for warmth during an outside ceremony and shoes that could handle lots of walking. Purple merino dress from Goodwill, brown suede slouch boots from… Continue Reading Wednesday
I hate too many rules with fashion – it takes the fun out of it. I don’t think a certain age requires one to have a certain length of hair or skirt, and heck, I think diamonds are too pretty only to wear in the evening and when older. However, I think some fashion guidelines… Continue Reading Dress Your Age Not Your Shoe Size

Crew, denim trousers from Gap, black lowrise “Chucks” from Converse, silver cuff, white gold and diamond studs and necklace from the hubby. Hair washed and conditioned, a bit… Continue Reading Tuesday

On top of that, I broke the heel on my Impo city boots and am still hobbling a bit from the broken toe. Didn’t make for a fashion plate sort of day! Teal… Continue Reading Friday: Jan 22, 2008
Today I knew it was going to snow and possibly be icy; also had to get to work early because a platform I use for my job was being wacko last night and I couldn’t get my tasks completed before leaving work. And… my feet hurt from yesterday and wanted something comfy. Burgundy merino shift… Continue Reading Thursday
Sorry about yesterday… it was very busy at work and next thing I knew I was on the Metro home and hadn’t posted my outfit! Then my hubby took the laptop on his business trip… well you get two days in one. I also think it’s funny because not until I uploaded the pics to… Continue Reading Tuesday and Wednesday
“Sometimes you need to spend money to make money.” We have heard this when it comes to renovating our homes for a sell, or starting a business. Well this rule holds true for fashion. Sometimes you need to spend money to make (or save) money. Quality clothing is usually more durable and classically-styled than its… Continue Reading Spend Money to Save Money?
