I’ve never really been a scarf girl. I don’t like anything pulling around my neck. Necklaces are fine, but turtlenecks and scarves just bug me… until recently that is. Continue Reading
There are two things I look for in clothes these days, coverage and layers. I can run hot and cold–you know the drill ladies. One minute I’m freezing, the next I’m on fire. Gotta love those hot flashes… Not! Anyway I’m getting smart in my old age. I have become a huge fan of the cape. I’ve actually become quite a cape collector. I have bright colors, solids and plaids. I feel chic in a cape, it covers the tummy quite nicely AND I can take it off if I get hot.
Capes can be an inexpensive and easy-peasy way to jazz up an outfit too.

Here are other style dresses I like HERE HERE and HERE (all under $100 too!).
It’s that time of the year when I pull out my fall clothes. Painstakingly one by one, I try on each piece and ask myself the same questions I pose to my clients.
Comfortable clothes are becoming increasingly important as I get older. I love style, but give me comfort too! Here’s a super comfy outfit you can dress up or down and easily transition to fall by adding a jacket. There’s lots of flow and stretch, so you can bend, move and even eat a big meal without feeling constricted.
