What to wear - What to Store

What's in, and what's out, is the usual fashion buzz for a new season.  However I like to think that nothing is completely out unless you just hate it. Fall has provided a landscape of many themes and of course fashion is forever changing, but often it is a revolving door.   In that sense, I like to think of wearing things now, and storing things for later.  Remember this season's outcast.... may be next year's hot trend!

Let's view a few fashion changes:

1.  Store your short dresses - Wear a longer pencil sheath dress slightly below the knee.


2.  Store your plain sweaters - Wear a vibrant stripe or black & red.

3.  Store your shiny tight pants - Wear a pair of ultra glam menswear slacks or wide leg pants.

4.  Store some of your solids -Wear a graphic or artistic motif.

5.  Store your heavy platforms - Wear a ladylike pump or Slingback.

6.  Store your cropped jacket - Wear a tailored pantsuit with a slightly longer jacket.



7.  Store your turtleneck sweater -Wear a bulky trimmed sweater.



8. Store your understated dress - Wear a vibrant print or tribal motif dress.



9.   Store a your blazer - Wear a faux fur sweater



10.  Think of any excuse to dress up!




                             Most of all infuse some glamour....let it begin with red lips!

A Party Statement


My sister, one of Daisy's Girls, looking elegant wearing black.  Her earrings were beautifully made from feathers!

Black & Gold graphic Bag, very cool trend!
                                                                               
Everyone loves a great party!  For one, it gives me a chance to style-watch at evening events and see what my friends and others are wearing.  It's always fun to get dressed-up (and to receive compliments!) It is also exciting to compliment others as they arrive to a gala looking beautiful from head to toe!

Take a look at a few party pics from some recent special occasions:

Her dress was quite interesting - Beautifully glistening under the light1 
The detail of this belt is very hip -  Black & Silver look great with Grey
I love accessories!
A white suit is always a winner!  The detail of the jacket has sequin trim -very pretty!  
The button detail is more like a beautiful brooch!
A beautiful smile and a classic LBD (Little Black Dress) perfect for a party!

Pretty Party Glam! (The lady on the left is my sister once again!)
This jacket makes a strong statement - it's simply beautiful!
Parties are great for scoping out chic clothes, pretty shoes, gorgeous handbags, cool accessories, and let's not forget...Beautiful People!

Late Post: Fashion Night Out!

The first week in September ushered in the excitement of a Fall Season event.  It's called "Fashion Night Out."  Not surprisingly, it was launched two years ago in New York.  This event applauds the fashion designers, while offering retailers a chance to promote the new season.  Guests enjoy a fashion show and a few refreshments....all provided with a hint of "red carpet".

My daughter and I attended "Fashion Night Out," hosted by Neiman Marcus (Somerset Collection in Troy MI). We had a great time and indeed, I took a few nice pics:

Neiman Marcus Fashion Show- Look at the crowd!
