FASHION FILES
ONCE AGAIN, YOU HEAR ME SAY,
“You don’t need a lot of clothes,
you just need the right clothes”...
We need our wardrobes to work for us. Too many choices are overwhelming and add stress.
A curated closet that works...really works...for your lifestyle is an ongoing pursuit.
Seek to have something you’re happy & proud to wear every day of your life, for every occasion –
be it relaxing at home or at the fundraiser gala.
Your clothes need to work for you.
Follow the trends? Sure.
As we age, it’s all the more important to stay updated. Waving the white fashion flag is an accelerated descent into frump!
These days it’s easy to stay abreast because so many fashion rules have gone by the wayside. For instance, pants can be any length and sensible shoes are having a moment.
When I say “follow the trends”, I don’t necessarily mean, “wear the trends”.
Know what’s current & look in your closet.
Everything that goes around comes around in fashion, and 100% of the time there is something in your closet every single season that you can bring to the forefront – possibly wearing in a different combination than you did last year..
Fashion does take paying attention...it does mean caring about the armor you suit up in to fight your daily battles.
Think EVOLUTION, not REVOLUTION!
HI, BARBIE!
Such fun at FAYE’s with our Barbie Sweepstakes and Pink Party...but most of all, with our customers who brought their Barbies and Barbie accoutrement and regaled us with stories about their relationship with their beloved dolls.
It was all a little overwhelming.
Who knew affections ran
so deep?
I became a bit of
a Barbie historian through it all and presented Barbie lore at the Woman’s Club of Wisconsin and
Mount Mary University. Audience ages ranged from 7-90, and everyone was engaged and again, ready to share their personal Barbie lore.
The movie has surpassed the $1 billion dollar mark – something only 50 other movies have done since the beginning of cinema! Greta
Gerwig’s production was a feast for the eyes wrapped around a powerful and empowering message about patriarchy and, as women, taking our rightful place on whichever stage we find ourselves.
If you haven’t seen the movie – go! Bring your tissues and bring your rage. Let’s work together to make the world a little more like Barbieland. We’ve worked hard. We deserve it!
BYE, BARBIE!
