Fashion Friday – Office Cardigans
It’s a nice hot summer here in southern Indiana. And that means that they have turned the air conditioning on at the office. For some reason, the temperature in my building always seems to be about right for a man in a 3-piece suit as opposed to someone who has dressed appropriately for the weather. They…
Read MoreFashion Friday – A Classy Diaper Bag
I have a big thing about carrying a classy looking purse. I want my bags to be leather (or vegan leather) with no pattern. Don’t get me wrong, I went thru a Vera Bradley phase back in the day, but I find that a nice leather bag with clean lines in a good neutral can…
Read MoreFashion Friday – Mommy & Me
As an expectant mom, I have noticed a trend lately of dressing your child to match your outfit, particularly among mothers and daughters. As a general rule, I’m not sure how I feel about this trend. I feel like it’s the sort of thing that my child will look back on and hate. But at…
Read MoreFashion Friday – Fashion With A Cause
There is a lot of crazy going on in the world right now. Most days when I get up, I feel like I should ask for a damage report, a la Captain Picard in Star Trek. That’s why I’m glad to so many designers and fashion companies that I already support have found ways to help…
Read MoreFashion Friday – Why I Love Old Lady Shoes
I love shoes. Absolutely love them. Ask my husband- I’m sure he’ll tell you about my “problem.” Shoes are one of the few fashion items that have always enjoyed. I still remember the saddle shoes my mom bought me to wear to church when I was little. I had 2 pair. One set was black…

It doesn’t matter what season it is, I love to layer my clothes. But with the ridiculously cold weather we’ve been having here lately, being able to have on multiple layers of clothes has been the only thing to keep me from freezing to death. I’ve even been double layering coats! And since I never…
Read MoreSwimsuit Season
I can’t believe it’s almost swimsuit season again. Even if it’s not time to wear one, it’s certainly time to go shop for one. Now, I don’t look like a swimsuit model, but even if I did I love retro styles too much to want your average triangle top bikini. Now, that’s not to say…
Read MoreStyling the Taffy Blouse
I love this version of the taffy blouse with a pair of black skinny jeans and a black biker jacket. With the black pumps and super cute sunglasses, all I’m missing is a cool vintage car, so I can be a greaser.
Read MoreStyling the Meringue Skirt
You may remember the original meringue skirt that I made a couple months ago. It was the very first project from the Colette Sewing Handbook, and I love that it has a scalloped hem. It’s the first and only one I’ve done so far – at least on purpose. One thing I really enjoy about…
