I am in the mist of watching twenty-five hours of spring fashions on QVC. For you not familiar with this way of shopping and like to drop names, they have Bob Mackey , designer of clothes for Cher, Carol Burnett, and lots of the younger girls. He is just one of many. Three of my favorites are Marc Bower, Bradley Bayou, and the wizard of coats Dennis Basso.
But oh my goodness what the heck are they thinking with the trend of spring is leggings? Legging? Don’t they know that the average size woman is a size 14/16? Besides that we are older and that means we are finding our figures to be shifting with the sand at the bottom! We are supposed to wear leggings?
I love fashion and I am often stopped and complimented on my dress. So I feel left out with these new trends. To top that off they are touting the tunic. Well being five foot nothing this new length top will look like a top that is way too long or a dress that is way too short.
They keep saying we all can wear leggings and the tunic top. I am not a sheep feeding from the fashion trough. There are just some fads we have to let pass us by. I guess I will try to reinvent last year’s clothes with some of the bright new fashion jewelry.
Just say NO to leggings if you know your figure runneth over!

I am a Back woman with serious hair issues so to me if you have long hair you are A1 in my book. I had to eat my words when I saw the first lady’s new summer cut.
Styles in hair, clothe, and jewelry change so fast that its hard to keep up and be in the fashion loop. I think the long hair trend has been in longer than I can remember hair styles staying in vogue. I had been wondering when the tide would change. I had noticed a few short dos but when I saw the first lady I was amazed at how great she looks.
This hair style is not only practical for the hot muggy Washington weather. But it shows off her long graceful neck and gives her an air of sophistication that her position demands!
There is speculation that she might not have cut her hair as short as it appears. Take a look at the picture below and decide for yourself!
Whatever is the case, well done Michelle. You look great! And as a lover of longer hair this is top notch!
Oh how I wish I could take the credit for the above statement but alas I can’t. Kenneth Jay Lane, the living legend of faux or junke jewelry, said it first.
Ahead of his time but always in style, he is leading the fashion parade that all the designers are now in step with. Pilling on the colorful and here’s where the word “chunky” doesn’t hurt with necklaces and bracelets in numbers that would stagger most women.
The necklaces are long and multi layered and so colorful to wear with clothes that it would make a peacock hide his head in shame. Go wild! Be adventuresome! Have fun this summer because who knows when the fashion tide will change and we will be back in Dullsville.
Invented in the 1500′s, but not really coming into fashion until the 1920’s, watches were once thought to only be needed for telling time. I can remember when having one watch was all that was needed. Well that day has come and gone. Now the watch is part of the arsenal of fashion dressing!
Watches can be strictly utilitarian or fit for after five occasion. There are watches that can tell time in several different time zones or help a diver stay safe by gauging the diving depth.
I am a collector of watches but one of my favorite has twelve bands which can match any outfit. If that is not enough the bezel can be changed from plain to dressy!
Do you love the noble metals? Gold watches are prized but can be pricey. They usually are a one time purchase. I love silver and Ecclissi makes time pieces that will bring you to your knees. Often these accessories are encrusted with gemstones and pearls.You can now pick a watch for any occasion and any fashion need.
Have fun and adorn your wrist with whatever makes your pulse race!
How many times have you looked at fashion magazines or style shows and wished for clothing with designer labels? Wish no more my bargain hunting ladies of high fashion!
I am going to let you in on something some of you may know but others have yet to find out about. My close friends smile when I wear a new outfit because they know by now where I shop. Yes I shop from television and proudly say I have labels with a pedigree. Bradly Bayou, Dennis Basso , George Simeton Cloe Dao , Clinton Kelly, and Nolan Miller, to name just a few. Three of my favorite handbag designers are Stone Mountain, Kathy Vanzeeland and Maxx of New York. Jewlery designers include Joan Rivers, Nolan Miller, Judith Ripka, and RLM Studios.
What makes shopping from television so attractive to me? Its very simple. First, I know its going to fit if you have been honest measuring yourself. How many times have you gone into a mainstream store and taken in several items in the same size only to be disappointed because some just don’t fit? QVC has all its designers cut to the same size chart. Second, I have thirty days to try the outfit on with my own accessories and foundation garments to make sure I like it. Third, they come to my door. No hunting for parking spaces or worrying about being accosted in the parking lot.
Buying things from television just makes sense to me.Think about it. They may have 500 sometimes as many as 30,000 of one item but the shows are nationwide. What is the chance of meeting someone with the same outfit? Not much!
Plug into shopping electronically and I am sure you will get a charge out of it!
