Beige Black White


Here's an open-weave beige jacket, worn over a white T and black skirt. I got this jacket at the Salvation Army Thrift Store for 99 cents! Leslie Gonzales says that we should be sure that everything we buy can be worn several ways; so I'll put that into practice next week and see if I can come up with a completely different look for this.

A Simple Classic


Today I'm wearing the simple and classic look of a white T-shirt over blue jeans. I wanted this sweet T-shirt, with its wide V neck and bust line gathers to be the focus today, so I've kept everything very simple -- no scarf or necklace; tiny earrings.

Mixing Prints


Mixing prints can be tricky; a simple striped scarf works well with this busy mish-mash of black and beige. The generously cut black print shirt HAS to be tucked in or it's just too baggy. It's also a fairly dated look. I got this shirt at the Salvation Army's 99 cent sale day, but I'm not going to keep it.

Black and Blue


Black pants and a sweet blue sleeveless shirt with lots of ruching. Ruching is great because it hides bulges.

Long Gray Jacket


This long jacket has one silver toggle fastener. I'm also wearing darker gray trousers in a nice stretch fabric and a white T. I'm overheating a bit in this jacket; 'course it's August out there and I don't have the A/C on.

Roses are Red


Black with Roses. I last wore this shirt over a year ago, paired with a long black skirt, to my daughter Rose's rehearsal dinner.

Red/Beige


A simple hip-length T-shirt tops beige pants. A black/beige vertically striped scarf (made by yours truly) softens the lines of the T-shirt.

Beige, Black, A Little Tie


A small tie (which I made while in the midst of a scarf-making craze) adds a little interest to a plain knit polo. Black pants. I'm much happier today than yesterday.
