They are back in style, wide-leg pants. Will you take the plunge? I just went into J. Crew and the Banana Republic tried on their wide-leg pants.

There are no actual rules for comfort.  You are in charge of your wardrobe when you want to relax.  I like short sleeve t-shirts with boxer shorts for warm weather, indoors only.  For fall and winter,  long-sleeved t-shirts and sweat pants.

Add color with accessories that shock and awe for a “summer-ized” pop! My favorite LBD (featured above) is the Winslow light… Continue reading LBD – Little Black Dress

Summer is not over yet, even though Target has school supplies on display.  I am out there looking for you and getting ideas for me too.  I know I have read many complaints about the prairie dresses at Target.  I get it, we women want to look stylish, not frumpy.  Beautiful, figure-flattering dresses are out… Continue reading Summer’s Still Sizzlin

Did you ever walk into a clothing store and knew you found your style?  Well, if you haven’t been to Madison Avenue Boutique in Berlin, Maryland, now is the time.  I opened the door and did a loop through the shop, then started my next shopping move to carefully go through all the racks.  As… Continue reading Madison Avenue Boutique
