Speaking of Holiday Dressing....
Ruffles always seem to rear their flouncy heads during this time of year anyway. And this year, with them being a fashion trend, it's more likely than ever that you'll see more than your share as you're shopping for holiday wear!
I've owned my share of ruffled blouses in my life, but I confess that I'm not a big fan.
However, if you're thinking you want to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe, here are some tips for doing so...

Ah! The Sublime White Shirt....
Or blouse if you prefer!
Every woman has a few staples in her closet that she swears by. One of mine is the white shirt. For me it is one of those pieces that never fails me. It can sharpen a simple suit or workplace pair of pants or skirt in a way that takes you confidently into any meeting and lifts a pair of jeans from casual to classy!
That's why I was delighted by this post from Ms. Angie over at YouLookFab:
Paris: the Anne Fontaine experience (A happy plus - pics of Ms. Angie herself shopping away - and, yes, she looks fab! ;-))
I've never heard of Anne Fontaine before, but of course I skipped right over to the web site. And I must admit, I was not disappointed.
Just a few of my favs:
Delish shirts:
And delightful accessories:
Of course none of this can be ordered online - but I was pleasantly surprised to find that she has several locations worldwide and - surprise! - one right here in Chicago!

White Blouse Ahoy!....
I was checking out the following post on Fashion Nette-work:
White Out
I know I show my age by calling them blouses instead of shirts, but hey, what are you gonna do?
Now some of her samples are some what young, and rightfully so for what I'm sure is her main audience. But many of the styles can easily be pulled off by the plus 50 woman.
My personal fav:
Newport News - Stretch poplin blouse - $14.99
I think the touch of the drawstring organza cape collar gives it just that bit of out of the ordinary to make it interesting. Keep the skirt or pants simple and straightforward and you'll be rockin' the house in a classy way!
The blouse is on sale for $14.99 and they only have it in a size 16. So if that's your size and you're looking for something just a bit more interesting in a white shirt - check it out! (If I didn't already have my shopping dollars dedicated to something else this week - I'd be givin' it a go!)

Forth and Towne Inches into the 21st Century....
By offering order by phone!
Look, I love Forth and Towne - even through I've yet to buy any of their clothes. Their clothes offer a quintessential easily polished and poised style - they bring to mind Jackie Kennedy on her best day. Just the kind of togs many 50+ Fashionistas are seeking!
For example - Their Spring Essentials:
I'm instantly in love with the collared blouse:
Sateen Button Down Blouse - $48.00
And the boot cut trousers!:
Bootcut Pant = $98.00
And as you can see, the prices, while not cheap, are certainly within reach.
But they only have a few stores which can only be found out in the far burbs and, up until today, there was no way to order their clothes.
But what should show up in my e-mail today but - ta-da!
Now I don't know why Forth and Towne seems to have such a tentative attitude towards allowing true online ordering on their site. Especially since they are a division of The Gap - on who's site you can order anything shown!
That being said, I'm thrilled at the possibility of at least calling in an order - through I still intend to make the trek up to their Skokie store to check them out in person!
(Note: To those overseas - it's not clear on their site whether or not they will do overseas shipping, but since you'll have to call anyway, be sure to ask that first thing!)

As you are evaluating your closet....
For the new year, here are 5 items you might want to make sure you stock....
Five items every woman needs
Pay most close attention to the good bra recommendation. I don't know about you, but I was never even fitted for a bra 'till about a year ago when I wandered into Victoria Secret to buy a replacement for a bra I'd purchased there I don't know when ago! When I stumbled over what size I was when asked by the young saleswomen, I was hustled into a dressing room, measured in the blink of an eye and provided with several different styles to try on. I left with two of the best fitting bras I'd ever owned -- and that probably included my training bra!
Victoria's isn't the only ones who will measure you - Lane Bryant and Macy's offer the same service. So if you haven't brought housing for the girls in awhile take a minute and get yourself measured. You'll be amazed at the difference it will make both in look and more importantly in comfort!
