Jeans- but done quite well
I like this look, but I don’t think I could pull it off. My hourglass curves don’t like skinnies too much.

My Style Icon: First Lady Michelle Obama (part 1)
Mrs. Obama continues to amaze me with stunning sense of style. Graceful, classy, always fitting for the occasion.
Her pieces are simple, flattering to her figure and skin tone. Totally reminiscent of Jackie Kennedy.
More Pics coming soon!

Look of the Day: Vintage florals
Always wanted to wear that little vintage hat in the back of your closet? Now is the time to break it out.
This pic, shot on the streets of N.Y shows you how to mix some bold floral patterns without looking like antiquated wallpaper.
(Please excuse the low neckline…cleavage is not part of your ensemble I’m sure 
Do:
-Cement the outfit with some basic black. The black tights here act as the anchor for the prints. She lengthens her legs by wearing shoes in the same color.
-Mix prints, but keep them in the same color family. Pull a color from your dress, using that to go on.
-Go to a thrift-store and practice. Find some prints and mix and match.
-Wear your hair up. Most vintage hats were designed for women wearing their hair 1)very short or 2) up in the back. Do your hair up, but keep it messy (nice and playful).
Don’t:
-Wear bulky or textured fabrics, particularly for the blouse. When working with prints, adding a massive amount of texture confuses the eye.
-Go overboard on jewelry. Simplicity is key when working with prints. Maybe a pair of pearl studs- but leave it nonchalant.
Any ideas from the Peanut Gallery? Love it, or wish you’d never seen it?

Glamorous fashion, with just the right touch of modesty.

Look of the day: Mix and Match
I never knew Vintage chic could be this easy! Check out the laidback feel drawn from the peasant skirt. The Ballet flats just keep it “down to earth” and set apart from your normal business causual.
Do:
-Pair and embroidered shirt, or any shirt with texture, with an floral print skirt for a magpie-chic look.
-Play with colors. Just because the sample is shown wearing earth tones, doesn’t mean you couldn’t do the same with a bright blouse and skirt.
-Layer on a scarf and hat to keep warm.
-Wear flats. Ballet flats, flat boots, anything flat.
-Throw in some jewelry. A cuff, ribbon choker, layered necklaces would all pair well with this look.

Look of the Day: Shabby Chic
Tousled hair is in. Never has so little effort in hair been so popular.
The key is to mix it with ladylike accents.
Do:
- Use classic accessories, Black Bag, Black pumps
- Pair contrasting fabrics, sharp tailored pieces with frilly draped ones.
- Have fun with your jewelry. Everything from whimsical to super sophisticated works with this look- how do you feel today?
Don’t:
- try to make it perfect. Put together a really lady-like outift- then mess up one thing. Keeps it down-to-earth.
