My 90's Tie |
Tye's are not just for the Fella's
I have had this mannequin in my room for months with one of my old tie's from the 90's on it for inspiration. My bestie and I thought we were so cool back in the day when we rocked ties with a crisp white button down shirt and jean shorts! We were so cool (lol) my BFF had a black and white snoopy tie and I had this multi -colored one. I love fashion outside of the box, do your own thing!!
Fun and Free
I'm a sucker for polka dots... I just love them! Wearing polka
dots can be so fun, it screams I'm free and unafraid of a
bold print/pattern! I know that we are in the dead of winter right
now in most places, even though it's extremely cold the sun
still shines :)! Some of us are facing COLD weather in the teens...even below 0
yikes!!) Lift your spirits up and beat the winter blues by being
fabulous, free and WARM with polka dots!

Ripped Jeans over 40?? When to let it go!
Right now I'm
so into wearing my ripped jeans and boy are they ripped.... borderline
ripped/raggedy lol!! They are the real deal a vintage pair
of classic Levi's with a Aztec tribal border fringe on the bottom
(Love them!!!) I bought these jeans over 15 years ago in NYC for $110
bucks!! I had these jeans folded and packed away for years...they had become so worn and a little too revealing, I was a little on the fence about wearing them. I know that there are so many rules about being too old
to wear certain things and that you should leave it to youngsters, just
let it go!! I'm 44 and in NO way trying to recapture my youth by wearing
certain clothes. I know that sometimes it looks so desperate and thristy when
you see us 40+ gals rocking trends that just don't work for us!!!! (lol) somebody's Mama
looking Crazy and embarrassing eek! I think as long as you flip the style and keep
it sassy but classy I think it's possible to re-age certain looks. I just want to feel good and look great embracing me
and my style without trying too hard...I think It can be totally do-able within reason!! What do you think? I'm so curious
to hear your opinion on this?? Do certain things have an expiration date
once you reach a certain age? Let me see how you rock that style that most say
oh no too??? Send pictures too, let's talk about it!!!![]() |

Waist Trainers..Do they Work?
![]() |
Orchard Corsets |
My sister-in law recently had a baby, my cutie patootie BRAND NEW nephew!! She asked me my thoughts about waist training? Being a new mommmy and wanting to get back to body before baby is something that we can all relate too (even tho I think she looks great). I have heard about waist training before.. many say that they really work!! Some say the results are temporary, that you do see changes but the changes don't last. I like most of you have watched the videos and tutorials about the legitimacy of waist training but I don't know enough about it to give it 2 thumbs up? Waist trainers are something you wear underneath your clothes or while workingout, cinching (tightening) your middle to make it smaller over time.
![]() |
Blac China and Kim K. Waist training |
Celebs like the Kardashians and Blac China swear by their teeny tiny little waist that cinchers really do work. It's so hard to say, I don't know for sure if it's true or not? When I think of waist cinching I think about the Victorian days when women wore corsets. Although they did have incredibly small waist, those smaller waist came with a price. According to my research for a lot of women during that era wearing corsets were extremely miserable and totally uncomfortable... I have read about horrible bruising, broken ribs etc.. not fun at all!! I'm glad to see that things have changed!

Nike Mid 3 Part Footwear System $135 |
I don't know about you but my
work-out clothes are in desperate need of an upgrade. When I work-out I'm
strictly business, sweaty, messy hair and crazy clothes. Now I do
know that it's all about the workout and not the
clothes! Since we have so many options in sportswear it's not a bad
idea to start intergrading great workout pieces in your WO stash..Why not look kinda
cute while getting your sweat on! I don't know about you but when I
workout I sweat a lot!!!! So for
me wearing just a t-shirt, sweatpants or a sweatshirt is not the
best option, the best option when you sweat is wicked workout gear.
Over time non-wicked clothes simply don't last, plus the smell is a little
gross. I love the holiday collection from Nike, it's stylish and
functional. I love the three part footwear system especially the foot
straps, they are perfect for yoga or kickboxing class, it would also be
great for working out at home.

I don't consider this a trend because I think every woman should have a Biker Jacket as
a "must have"
staple in her closet. A short faux leather jacket is an essential piece to every wardrobe. A Biker Jacket is so
versatile it can be dressed up or down and it can really pull together any look.
With so many colors, options and styles to choose from it's easy to find a style suitable just for you! Be edgy be bold by adding this timeless fall staple into your collection!

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
ReplyDeleteWith a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me,
And I shall spend my pension
on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals,
and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired,
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells,
And run my stick along the public railings,
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens,
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat,
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go,
Or only bread and pickle for a week,
And hoard pens and pencils and beer mats
and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry,
And pay our rent and not swear in the street,
And set a good example for the children.
We will have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practise a little now?
So people who know me
are not too shocked and surprised,
When suddenly I am old
and start to wear purple!
Jenny Joseph
Brilliant!!!
ReplyDeleteErrmm…. Can you see me raising my hands, me me me!!! Hmm… where do I start – I have been wearing waist cinchers, spanx, flexees for years. They have not cinched my waist any, however, they do support my back by pulling in my gut and ensuring my posture is right. A couple of years ago I had a wedding to attend, so I had my seamstress make me a dress. One thing about Missy is she can sew BUT her stuff is always on the tight side, so I always make sure she adds an inch or two, else I won’t be able to sit let alone eat or breathe. The dress she made was really lovely but I had an issue with my belly sticking out too much, oh she had an answer alright. She sent me on a treasure hunt to this open market to buy a waist cincher extraordinaire. (Sigh) it worked so well, I wore it out and have gone back to buy two more. It immediately sucks you in and you look inches smaller, no joke. The inner lining is fabric but the outer seems like it’s made from the rubber of a car tire, hey, I was desperate when I first got it, but it works. I can’t remember the manufacturer; it’s made from Brazil I think, I save that for fancy outings. For every day wear I like Flexees waist nipper firm control. If you get the wrong size and wear it too long, yes it will hurt you. Spanx is not my favorite, I don’t like getting into anything that constricting. I just found another one online that am going to try, Vikoros waist cincher, I’ll see. It’s a small price to pay to look good in an outfit, am all for it.
ReplyDeleteThis is great info!!!! I'm getting excited about this now! I remember sneaking and wearing my grandma's girdles when I was younger lol!!! It made me look foxy and shapely..poof belly be gone.. The only problem It was TOTALLY uncomfortable & itchy! I love that you gave us names too.. this is awesome I will be looking into this tonight!! Thank you :) Please update us on the Vikoros waist cincher too!
DeleteI love those snowflake rings!!
ReplyDeleteI agree they are really cute!!
