Oh the Fall conundrum – hosiery or no hosiery? During this transitional time of year I am continuously bouncing off questions about tights, pantyhose, stockings, L’eggs Eggs or whatever you call them! The debate continues and I hear it all. “The millennials don’t wear stockings why should I?” Hmmm, let me think about that answer before […]
Would you rather tiptoe around or loaf around? I have to admit I am not a tiptoe kind of gal. I am more to the point – direct, precise and calculated when it comes to my decisions – that includes my fashion choices. When ballet flats popped into pop culture, I was skeptical. Let’s say […]
Call me old fashioned, but I love the term “back to school”. It musters up life’s timeline by streaming old photos through my memory. My first “back to school” photo memory is an old black and white photo of my brother’s first day of school and there, peeking through the screen door, is younger sister […]
Thinking of donning Daisy Dukes because well…it’s 100 degrees outside? Think again, Doris! Personally, I can relate to the dilemma of the red hot weather map because as I write, it is 94 degrees in Boston today with the heat index values around 100 degrees.

Okay, so now it’s August – how did that happen? Yes there’s plenty of 90-degree days left on the calendar, but not plenty of 90-degree beach days left on your calendar!

So what’s in your pajama drawer? This is always the drawer that clients keep a lid on when we are doing a wardrobe edit, no doubt for multiple reasons. The main one being that women accumulate and wear what amounts to rags in bed! The old syndrome, someone else always comes first! So what do […]
Here’s the question – do you want to dress like working woman (at home) June Cleaver of Leave It To Beaver or Mary Richards (in the newsroom) of the Mary Tyler Moore Show? Nowadays, the lines are blurred, the glass ceilings are cracking and the dress codes include something ridiculous called Casual Fridays. What’s a […]
When it comes to seasonal shopping I find many women are savvy fall/winter shoppers, and less than savvy spring/summer shoppers. Part of the reason for that is the mental attitude around the items themselves. When we think fall/winter clothing, the following terms may float to the top: rich colors, luxurious fabrics, staples and classic investment […]
How did the 4th of July sneak up on us so soon? I still have my calendar page on May! I have been jolted up to date and now I need a list for just about everything! Let’s get you up to speed early so you can just plain enjoy yourself next week. This is […]
How To Navigate Plus Size
Plus Size? No problem! You’ve come a long way baby! Over the past 3-decades that the plus size trend has truly been defined, it was never described as fashionable. It was always laden with neutral color basics and housed in an upstairs corner in the department store or relegated to the basement near the washers […]
