This Question Will Change the Way You Dress
“Would you buy this right now?” This is the one question that will change whether you think what you wear is good quality, stylish, or even flattering on you. When you go to reach for that top and those pants again, as your day after day uniform, hold up those items and look at the state of them. Ask yourself if you were at a shop and saw those items right now, would you reach out and pull them from the rack to admire them? Would they catch your eye? Would you pay money to purchase them right now? Would you even think they looked good? Are there loose seams…

This is an acrylic sweater that I purchased on Amazon around $40! This is one of my favorite cozy and put together looks for cold weather.

Homemaking English Country Inspired Outfit Fall Fashion 2022
Fall is here and the same old styles are still thrilling me. Oversized sweaters, leggings and riding style boots! Welcome to my little stylish corner of the countryside. I love walking this road because it is lined with oak trees and this lovely fence. It is such beautiful countryside for a walk. The first thing I do when I wake up is throw on my clothes and go outside to walk. One of my favorite things to wear for my outdoor excursions as well as for house work, is perhaps the most poorly understood fashion item of the decade: leggings. Leggings are classic pants when made with the right fabric…

The Key to Legging Outfits : Classy & Feminine
Ladies, leggings worn right is a beautiful look and an extremely comfortable get stuff done outfit. That is why so many of us live in them! The key to styling legging outfits well is to wear short dresses as your tops. For years I fell victim to the false hope that maybe my tops were long enough for leggings because they were longish. I finally realized that nothing was long enough! How did I find this out? I saw enough highly exposed nether regions of other women to realize that unless the top is LONG like mid thigh long to be exact, things are showing. I love the way a…

My Thrift Shopping Strategy & Etiquette
Some thrift shops can be relaxing but they can also be like Black Friday. Thrift shopping is often what I refer to as “combat shopping”. People are there to get deals and sometimes they are not going to give you space or be polite about it! They may step into your “zone” and start going through things right next to you when they see you have grabbed a lot of good items. They are not concerned with saying “excuse me” or “sorry”. I have had people take items off of my shopping cart when my back is turned to it! I have had people stare at items in my hand…

Traditional Feminine Fashion : Homemaking Outfit in the Countryside
Hi ladies, I am writing to you from my wistful Autumnal mood. For clothing, I have been loving a specific color of red. A deep wine red. If I had a cardigan in the same color as this dress it would look beautiful for winter time. My navy sweater is hanging on for dear life since I wear it with everything but I am unable to invest in clothing at the moment. My boots are nearly worn through but I am still blessed to have them work. I love the height and shape and color of this pair. When I can afford a new pair this is my template for…

How Classic Style Makes You Look Younger : Fashion Over 35
The more I age….the more I find how classic clothing flatters women. If I did not photograph myself so much for this country fashion blog, I would have my skepticism. I do appreciate a wide variety of styles. But there are a few things classic cuts do, that I find more supportive of my beauty as I age, that other styles don’t do as well. This outfit is a wonderful example of these features that I find work so well. I trained myself to sleep on my back for years but I would rather just enjoy my sleep now so I side sleep as well now and this means…..chest wrinkles.…
