This pic was from G’s 40th birthday 12 years ago in Vegas. This dress is still hanging up in my closet. I can still wear it but it fits a bit differently because there’s a bit more of me to love nowadays. While I have given away several items over the years, I’m still hangingContinue reading “Inside Out”

Baby It’s Cold Outside
I’ve been told that I’ve been fighting a losing battle with my prom posts and that’s probably true. I don’t think that some parents care nor understand what looks best, but I want to talk about something related since it’s cold outside. Would you please make sure that the babies have a decent coat? PrettyContinue reading “Baby It’s Cold Outside”
For Homecoming Escorts
I am a bit late with this season’s homecoming thoughts because of my day job. For the most part I have seen the usual: short dresses, young ladies in the traditional pose (all huddled up together touching elbows while slightly bending) and boys wearing too short pants with no socks. I’m never going to likeContinue reading “For Homecoming Escorts”
School Clothes
This post is primarily about girls because I’m a woman, and I don’t see inappropriate clothing so much in boys. For the boy moms and dads, make sure they keep their pants up. I get so tired of seeing underwear instead of shorts or jeans. Do girls like this? Before I go down a rabbitContinue reading “School Clothes”
Prom Tips for Young Men
A friend posted that she was selling her son’s prom getup from last year. If I had a son, it wouldn’t be anything that I would want him to wear, but I realize that I’m set in my ways and have trouble accepting that boys might like to show off their sense of style throughContinue reading “Prom Tips for Young Men”
Prom Dress Shopping? Stop, Look and Read!
Seeing all of the winter formal dresses means that prom will be here before you know it. I know a number of you are already looking or have already found dresses for this rite of passage. If you are a mom/grandma(whatever cool name you want to be called)/aunt/dad/sister/whoever is buying this dress and you don’tContinue reading “Prom Dress Shopping? Stop, Look and Read!”
It’s Winter Formal Time
Recently I ran into a friend who was visiting a seamstress because her daughter needed a dress for her upcoming winter formal. She said that her daughter was less than thrilled about the dress that she picked out, and although she was wearing a mask, I could tell that she wasn’t exactly excited. I alsoContinue reading “It’s Winter Formal Time”
Holiday Fashion Tips
A few weeks ago I shared that I went to a ball and was ecstatic that I wore a gown that was comfortable and stylish at the same time. Even though the Omicron variant is here, I feel that we will still be celebrating at holiday parties, so it’s time for some tips on howContinue reading “Holiday Fashion Tips”
Feeling Fancy
Last night I attended a formal affair and put on a fancy dress. The best part about that particular dress is that I wasn’t worried about having to hold in my stomach the whole night. I didn’t think much about this 10 or even five years ago. Keeping weight off in older age is indeedContinue reading “Feeling Fancy”
Are You Interview Ready?
I’ve shared my opinion on homecoming and prom dresses, but after a recent experience, I’d like to share some ideas about how to dress for interviews. The pandemic has caused us to be a bit more casual, but when it comes to interviewing for a new job or opportunity, take into account that you wantContinue reading “Are You Interview Ready?”
