Leather

By on March 6, 2014

I have been playing with some leather in my sewing room lately.  The leather in this outfit is called Perfection Fused Leather, and is a bit of a man-made concoction.  Somehow they fused calfskin onto a lycra based fabric, and it is sold by the yard instead of by the hide.  It is rather nice […]

All dressed up for…nothing

By on December 19, 2012

I was supposed to have a lunch meeting this day, so I got all spiffy dressed up.  The lunch got cancelled, unfortunately.  My outfit was basically black and grey with some stripes thrown in for good measure.  The top is really floaty, and very comfy. I also wore really tall, plasticy boots.  They make lovely noises when I […]

The long wait…

By on November 20, 2012

Ah, instant gratification of walking into a store and coming home with your purchase… Not if you want a deal! It took about a month to get these boots from Zulily, but for over 50% off…it was worth it!  I have a bad Zulily shopping habit lately.  I think I need to step away from […]

It was a black and white week

By on September 17, 2012

After making my little Diva’s black and white wardrobe, I felt the need to dress the same.  Unfortunately, I only got a photo of one of the outfits, though I wore several that week in that vein.  This wasn’t even the cutest one, and certainly didn’t photograph well.  It was much better and thinning in […]

Summer scarf

By on August 27, 2012

I am not one to usually wear scarves in the summertime.  Perhaps I am a bit claustrophobic.  I have a hard time wearing turtlenecks in the wintertime, too.  This is a nice lightweight scarf, though.  It was just a bit of a sheer fabric I found in a remnant bin at the fabric store.  I […]

Adding a little sparkle to my day

By on June 7, 2012

These shoes are a bit much, so when I tell you that I purchased them in Vegas I know you will not be shocked.   When I saw them in the window they just called to me.   The wedge heel is like a little piece of artwork and has some rhinestones in it, too. […]

New boots

By on September 15, 2011

Last Spring I bought a few boots on sale, which I tend to look for boot deals from early Spring to Summer.  I love me some boots, but don’t want to spend a fortune. I acquired these new boots from 6pm.com: The Type Z boots are SUPER high.  They are also plasticy and have no […]

Countdown to vacation

By on March 1, 2011

The hubby and I booked a vacation someplace warm…yeeehaw!  Of course, that means I will need to don a swimsuit.  Oh dear. I seem to have acquired a few extra pounds during this busy season at work due to lack of exercise and lack of self control in eating copious amounts of chocolate, cheese, and […]

Blue, blue, blue

By on November 8, 2010

I seem to be really gravitating towards blue these days.  Maybe because I feel the need for a bright cheery color, especially as winter is going to be coming here soon. This sweater is a purchase from a consignment store.  There are two in my town, and the store I bought this one from touts […]
