Harem Pants, Sparkly Summer Slides, & Statement Earrings

July 27, 2019

Last time I got my hair done, my hairdresser was wearing the coolest harem pants and all of a sudden I had to have a pair. I found this inexpensive pair on Amazon and they’re great, though I think for a full harem effect, I might need to go up a size.  Honestly, they fit more like joggers.

June 6, 2019

How Much Skin to Show?

How much skin to show is totally a personal question that no one can answer for you but yourself. I’m more comfortable and confident being a bit more covered up. In the old days, there were so many rules about fashion and age, but now anything goes really. I had a dear friend who wore halter tops and shorts into her late 60’s! Even though it’s not a choice I would make, it fit her personality and she felt happy and cute. That’s all that matters. You do you!

Soma Apparel (& Link Up)

August 16, 2018

You already know how crazy I am over Soma pajamas and Soma bras, but did you know Soma makes clothes to wear out and about too?  I’m in comfort heaven!

Did you ever notice how often I talk about comfort?   What can I say? I’m a gal who loves to feel good, along with looking good.  Sure we suffer some for beauty (eye brow threading anyone?), but if it’s not necessary I don’t like to add to my discomfort.  I’m all about enjoying life and having a positive attitude, which is much easier when you’re comfortable! Am I right?

So Ladies, I was thinking about what summer wardrobe items that I couldn’t live without and I thought of these two gauze maxi skirts that I’ve had for years, one black and one white. I knew I got a lot of wear out of both of them, but when I started going back through photos, I was even more amazed how often I wear them!
