Ladies, Wrap dress. Wrap dress. Wrap dress. If I could give you any style advice it would be to own one or own 100!

There are so many iterations of them with different fabrics, to different skirt styles, to different sleeve styles. Why is this dress so amazing? It flatters no matter your shape or size. It gives you shape when you don’t have it, it flatters your shape where you do have it. This dress is already perfect for breast feeding. It makes sense for a majority of woman’s wardrobe…

How to Gift Feminine Style to Your Daughters
Ladies, Style communicates intention, it communicates manners, it communicates preferences. What is your outward appearance communicating? And what is your daughter’s appearance communicating? You are Her Fashion Industry & Stylist I will be brief, but I have seen many young girls look like males. These are not even girls who are trying to look like boys. By default, with modern fashion, we can look like males. Jeans and t-shirt, jeans and sweatshirt. Without distinct feminine features in the way we style things, modern clothes look masculine. You were given the influence as a mother to encourage daughters to look feminine. And you are pushing against the tide, but we get…

The Best Feminine Fashion for Realistic Daily Style
Ladies, Feminine style does not have to be exclusive to a day when you feel up to wearing something fussier. Up until recent decades, women dressed in their feminine fashions daily and it was not seen as unusual. Our modern fabrics and styles have only become more comfortable, not less, so comfortable feminine style is more realistic than ever. Yet, so much of what we see as “feminine fashion” is not tailored to the outdoor life, a life with children or pets, or messes. I wonder at how clean people must be staying to wear the trendy outfits….white trousers….white button down blouse…towering heels…the truth is, I don’t want the life…

Feminine Fall Winter Dress Outfit for Homesteading & Homemaking
Ladies, Welcome back to my stylish countryside musings, be it decor, gardening, homemaking or fashion. Now, I make no claims to be a homesteader, but every homesteading lady would benefit from this outfit idea. I am well acquainted with dirt after all, from the garden to muddy paw prints that threaten my wardrobe daily. Comfort is an obvious factor and the closer I get to 40 (very close indeed) the more comfortable my clothes get. As I sat cozy in my sewing room this winter I made this dress with a rather casual fabric, a jersey knit. This fall/winter dress is the same fabric as what I wear for gardening,…

2 Summer to Fall Transitional Outfits: Classics & Trends Feminine Style
Ladies, Here are two look-like-autumn-when-it-feels-like-summer outfits. Even better, these pieces are absolute classics and on trend as well in some ways. I need clothing to work in a very practical sense as this is just the reality of life when you are cleaning, cooking, gardening and doing home projects. I enjoy considering the shifts in fashion, but I filter out trends a lot because at some point you realize that fashion trends can lead you away from styles that look timelessly beautiful on you. Sometimes my long-worn fashion favorites come back into style. Fashion is fun, unless it becomes a chasing after the wind. Trends change too often for many…

How to Design a Mediterranean Country Summer Home: Outdoor Dining, Flowers, & Fashion
Welcome to my summer home in the countryside Ladies, Summer always makes me think of the Mediterranean. So aside from never-ending laundry from sweating through our clothes in one day, I design a summer home reminiscent of this look and feeling of being among the rolling hills of the French and Italian countryside and those coastlines. My vision of this retreat has not yet been fully done but I continually pull from this idea to create the feel wherever it is I live at the moment. The Mediterranean feel, look, and lifestyle has been my favorite template to design my home for summer. Vacation Perspective One thing that stands out…

What to Wear for Gardening in the Summer
Country women & gardeners have style essentials too Ladies, have you ever noticed how fashion magazines assume we all live in the city and work in offices? Their recommendations never seem to take into account the one who spends her days outdoors, among dirt, plants, animals, even children, working for her own family or a paid job that is grittier. What does a woman wear for her day working at home, working outdoors, surrounded by life, sticky hands, dirty paws, dough flinging off her beaters, flour in her hair, and insects buzzing all around her? I don’t think the fashion industry touted white button-down blouse fits anywhere into this kind…

My Classy & Feminine Style Makeover : Before & After
Ladies, I have always enjoyed fashion and dressing up, but there was a phase of my life where I was in survival mode, moving all the time, living an outdoor gritty life, and frankly confused about what to even wear. The fashion world changes their minds about what is in style so often and as I grew into an older woman, I stopped caring what the fashion industry pushed. I wore workout clothes every day and while it was comfortable, I did not feel put together. I wanted to enjoy fashion again. I wanted to look feminine and classy. There were years of my life that I dressed almost exclusively…
