Clothing and Wardrobe Update

Today, the update is that the stylists are saying because of our economy, the designers have come up with the idea of layering your clothes so that there is security in the feeling of having clothes and protection of the layers.

I do not agree. Layering came in prior to the recession, and it was tees and tanks with a vest. But I can tell you what the style is without any excuse of fasion:

*Layer with sweaters and vests.

*Wear a silk shirt under a boxy sweater or an old man's sweater. I love this look for going to a coffee shop or going for a long walk. Looking and feeling beautiful can make a bad day be better.

*You can wear your grandfather's sweater under a short fitted jacked and a pencil skirt. I think this style is awesome for the awesome.

Christopher Banks says Vests are IN

Tonight, , I received an email from Christopher Banks clothing. They say vests with round necked long sleeved tee shirts is in. That is kind of preppy isn't it?

In fact, I saw a vest that looked like a navy pea coat without the sleeves. You could wear it with a skinny belt around the waist. I have my daughter's pea coat that she hardly ever wore. It fits me, so I am going to make an attempt to take the sleeves off of it, take under the edges probably by hand with a hem stitch and give it a try. It's free right? A hand-me down from my daughter. Cool!
