Wardrobe 911....

Get's the Boomer gal thinkin' WEEKEND!!!

What to Wear: Boomer Weekend

Yes the never ending quest....

For jeans that fit!

Marie Claire post some choices for those of us who laugh at the idea of being a size 4...(and introduce their plus-size stylist!)

Big Girl in a Skinny World:Ashley's picks for the best jeans for curvy girls

I welcome the addition of Ms. Ashley to Marie Claire! Hopefully we'll see more attempts to address the styling challenges of real women - not just those that can mimic size 0 models! (Now let's see some articles focused on the challenges of petite dressing as well!)

It can't be said often enough....

Tailoring should be one of the most important tools in your quest to be well dressed...

LAWHITE over at Casual Friday reminds us...

What's Your outfit worth?....

An interesting post from Styleite...

Cost of Your Outfit...

Now let's face it - if you're going to include what's in your handbag, your electronics alone can push the number up pass $300.00! But it's an interesting question - just what is what you wear each day worth? ;-)

If you're in New York....

This sounds like something worth checking out...

The Secrets of the Chanel Handbag

I'm not a big fan of Chanel bags - and it's not just because of the price! I just don't like handbags with chains for handles! However, I wish more of the "great" fashion houses would do this kind of exhibit. I think it would do worlds to help inform the general public on just how much work goes into the products they sell - and would help to explain why those products sell for so much.

It wouldn't make me open my purse to shell out big bucks for the bags - but at least I could grudgingly say to myself "But there's a reason they cost so much!" ;-)

Sigh....

If I were but 10 years younger....
