Trends this spring are soft and muted, and work wear is no different. According to my latest email from Banana Republic, the office dress code is "a little softer, a little prettier, but always polished." Here are three office looks they put together: Look #1: Instead of a blazer, try a … [Read more...]
A Fresh Look at Talbot’s
April 13, 2011
I have a fashion dilemma. I need to find a new "go to" store. Over 50, and not the svelte young woman I used to be, I wonder what is appropriate to wear at my age. There was a time when Ann Taylor was my "go to" store. I loved almost everything in that store, and the fit was perfect for my body … [Read more...]

Dansko’s New Sneaker Clogs
April 11, 2011
I wear heels all day. Translation: my feet and back are not very pleased with me. So imagine how thrilled I was to try out a new shoe that I could wear outside of the office to offer my feet some relief. A shoe that actually mimics the look of a sneaker but with the arch support needed to … [Read more...]
{Fashion Friday} Trend Alert: WHITE is HOT!
April 8, 2011
Word on the street (or in my email inbox) is that white is a must-have wardrobe staple this spring. Last year I bought a Lucky Brand white handbag that I enjoyed carrying. It wasn't a bright white - it had just a hint of bone, which keeps the white modern - we're not talking 80s white here. I am … [Read more...]

How About a Raincoat?
April 5, 2011
You guys were so helpful last week with the purse thing, that I could use your help again! Jo-Lynne has commented on her personal site that she's longing for rain boots, and I think I am as well. (p.s., check out Melissa's Kamiks - so cute, right?) But of a higher priority for me? I need a … [Read more...]
