IT’S EASY TO SEE WHY FALL IS A FAVORITE SEASON FOR THE FASHIONISTA. Simple outfits like a black leggings and a black tank top can really pop with the addition of sassy jackets, bold outerwear and experimental tops. At Krista Anne’s Boutique at 7602 N. May, jackets, sweaters and outerwear are just the beginning of a wardrobe that’s easy to transition from hot days to cool nights. So what’s hot this season? “Animal prints are still going strong,” said Krista Souther, owner of Krista Anne’s. “But so are pieces with a little bit of attitude. This red motorcycle jacket from Liverpool is a red denim and it has a

lot of attitude.” Little touches like gold sequins, metallic zippers and brave studs are hot this season too. Industrial lace, like this gray lace wrap dress from Gretty Zuger, adds a bit of feminine whimsey to an austere color. “The key to transition pieces is color,” Krista said. “You want to make sure your colors aren’t too heavy, but it’s time to darken the colors you wear. Layer your pieces too, and jackets are so versatile for that.”

This high-low leopard print tunic shirt pairs perfectly with black leggings or jeans. Offered by Insight ($98), the tunic has a perfect weight to it, making it appropriate for both fall and late summer. Dressing it up with a belt is also an option. "This will be a classic, I promise," said Krista.

The Aris A plaid coat ($239) is a water-resistant jacket that is ultra-soft and oh-so-chic. "We love the way it moves with you - not too stiff or too heavy," said Krista. "The plaid neutral-colored print offers a sophistication to any wardrobe. Wear it over black or tan as a statement piece or throw it on with your favorite jeans and a red tee shirt,"

Does It Make Sense to Appeal?

Some divorce and family law matters do not settle. Instead, the case is tried in the family court. Putting the case in the hands of a family court judge can be a risky proposition. Most parties would prefer to settle outside of court, but it is not always possible. All it can take is one issue of disagreement for many parties to decide that they have no choice but to go to trial. After trial, the family court judge will issue a judgment. How this works can vary by jurisdiction and locality, but it can often take weeks or longer for a judge to render their judgment. It can take weeks because family court judges generally have to issue a written judgment that has findings of fact and conclusions of law. Some parties are happy with the results of the trial. Other parties are unhappy. In some cases, it can be a mixed bag. A party might like certain parts of the judgment and not like others. For parties who are unhappy with the results, the question for them is whether they should appeal the judgment. Appealing the ruling can prolong the litigation. It can result in more attorneys’ fees. But the question beyond that is whether an appeal will work. Laws vary by jurisdiction. Every case can also involve different intricacies. However, in a general sense, to

succeed on an appeal, a party must generally show that the family court judge erred as a matter of law or that they abused their discretion. These terms can be somewhat complicated for many to understand. But to show the judge erred as a matter of law, this generally requires a showing that the judge did not abide by the statutes, rules or existing case law. Sometimes, this does happen, but it is not always easy to show. To show the judge abused their discretion is a bit more complicated. Within the confines of statutes, rule and existing case law, there is some grey area that family court judges can navigate based on the law. Take the standard in child custody cases that these matters are to be resolved based on the best interests of the child. To determine what is in the best interests of the child, a family court judge has to weigh the evidence. The family court judge also can believe and disbelieve witnesses. Showing a judge abused their discretion is not easy, but sometimes a party can prove it. To simplify how an appeal works, think instant replay in football. With instant replay, the question is whether or not the referee got the call right based on the play itself and the rules the referee has to apply. An appeal works largely the same way. Parties do not get to redo the trial on appeal. Instead, the appellate court is to review the transcript and legal file. In doing that, the issue is whether the trial court erred based on the evidence presented at trial. For some parties, they might have a reasonable chance of succeeding on appeal. For others, it might be difficult. Nonetheless, for parties who are considering an

appeal, there are deadlines that have to be followed or else a party can waive the right to appeal. Thus, it is always critical to speak to a lawyer immediately. Stange Law Firm, PC limits their practice to family law matters including divorce, child custody, child support, paternity, guardianship, adoption, mediation, collaborative law and other domestic relation matters.

prairie arts collective ARTIST’S PALETTE

FINDS NEW HOME STAINED GLASS, CLASSES AND BIGGER SPACE MAKE THE CUT

CUTTING GLASS IS EASIER THAN IT SOUNDS. Patrick Patterson, who owns Prairie Arts Collective in Oklahoma City’s Paseo with his wife Shawn, leans over the square of yellow glass with a tool that resembles a pen. “Keep it upright and just push it down in one long straight line. Don’t stop in the middle,” he instructed. The tool’s scratching noise echoed the light score mark down the glass square. Patrick picked it up, and with barely any pressure, broke the glass along the score mark. “See, that wasn’t too hard, was it,” he said. Patrick and Shawn both help students throughout central Oklahoma to learn the art of stained glass. They specialize in the copper foil method made famous in America by Tiffany, but both are also experts in historic stained glass window restoration and repair. Now, as of June 1, The Prairie Arts Collective studio is in a newer, bigger space. The Prairie Arts Collective studio has a new home at 3110 N. Walker, just up the road and around the corner from its original space in the Paseo. “We have a smidge over 2,000 square feet now,” said Patrick. “The initial plan was to expand the number of people we could have in the classes, but COVID-19 put the kabash on that.” Working with stained glass, the Pattersons harness the beauty of light through the traditional lead method and also the copper foil method. They specialize in original designs, custom designs and historic restorations, but also offer classes and workshops at the studio too. The stained glass classes and workshops remain popular despite the COVID restrictions. The new studio has grown to five large worktables and to nine grinders. However, due to social distancing, the number of people in the beginner classes and Date Night classes remain limited.

OKC Lifestyle | September 2020

ARTICLE HEIDE BRANDES | PHOTOGRAPHY KIM WHEELER

The Pattersons spent many years in New England and the Commonwealth of Virginia, becoming experts in the art of historic restoration and repair of stained glass. After a visit to Oklahoma City, the couple decided to call The Paseo home. Shawn Patterson, the resident Prairie Arts artist, has more than 30 years of stained glass art experience, but is also the curator for the unusual and bohemian fashions available at the Prairie Arts retail space. The studio creates original stained glass designs and creations, stained glass supplies, stained glass event nights as well as experienced renovations, restorations and repair of stained glass. The classes are the most popular, however. Prairie Arts offers five-week beginner classes and independent study sessions. On various Friday nights, the Pattersons also host Date Night Classes. “It doesn’t have to be a romantic date either. You can bring your mom, your friend, your grandma… if you can’t find a friend, we’ll find one for you,” said Patrick. During the five-week classes, beginners can learn the techniques used to create their own stained glass project. During Date Nights, pairs work on smaller designs that can be completed in one night.
